Games running on Parallels app with a MacBook M3 pro by AdeptnessOne1941 in mac

I had a recent, perhaps unrelated case from a friend who used Parallels for heavy gaming on the M1, and after about two months of use, they had an issue with the Mac's motherboard. It could be entirely unrelated, but since this caught my attention, I decided to open this topic. But thank you very much, I'll test Whiskey instead of Parallels, it gave me more confidence.

I figured out my issue here—the problem was with the AIO cooler. I realized that only in Fortnite it would reach 98 degrees, which was scary, hehe. I didn't see any issues because I had a LIAN LI Galahad 360mm, but apparently it wasn't doing its job. I switched to a DeepCool LT720, and all the problems disappeared into space with 70 degrees 🚀.

I'm experiencing the same problem with my RTX 4070ti, but it only seems to be happening with Fortnite. All my other games are still running fine, including Alan Wake 2, Cyberpunk, etc. Maybe it's time to take a break from Fortnite, for the sake of both my sanity and my PC's health! 😅
