    Hello everyone. When no apps except for a few are running, my integrated GPU heats up more than my dedicated GPU. The GPU 0 is my dedicated GPU (RTX 3050) and the GPU 1 is my integrated GPU. The integrated GPU still heats up even more than my dedicated GPU even when no apps are running. There is also a fan spinning right above my CPU (where my integrated graphics are) and also 5 other fans in my computer and my computer has ventilation. upload_2022-11-16_17-19-49.png

    the igpu is built into the cpu so it gets heat from it

    So pretty much the temperature of the iGPU is the temperature of the CPU?
