Long story short.
1. Wow doesn’t use much GPU power
2. Wow is extremely CPU dependent
3 it’s likely not your thermals if other games don’t overheat.
4. Servers today have 3 or 4X the amount of server pop.
5. Coding for wow is old, it wants to run on a CPU with less cores and less threads, which throws off a modern CPU.
6. Your CPU loads players, profiles, auctions, item stats, etc.
7. Addons that scan things like gatherer, or actionator will also increase CPU load and heat.
Solution:
Spend less time in Stormwind or Org or at least avoid the area between the auction and mailbox. #worldofwarcraft #twitchstreamer #warcraft
