The heat issue is definitely because of the video issue. Why? simply,
because my CPU is minimum on 80% when playing videos (browser based) and
when it is idle, it is not more than 5%. I guess I sent the youtube link
earlier that shows that.

I did not monitor the temp, I tried to touch the heat-sink and it was SO
HOT that I had to remove my finger immediately. I touched the case from the
outside and felt the heat, that is why I opened the cover.

Fan is working perfectly.

The case itself is not closed, it has so many empty slots where the air can
get inside - I know that is not enough sometimes but hey, I'm just watching
videos, I am not creating one :D

I seriously have no idea what is going on? maybe with all my previous
tests, I have never tested the video on that machine. I was testing other
stuff on that machine.

On my other ASUS Laptop with Intel Built-in Card, I don't have this issue.
Only rarely when there is some tearing or sluggish playing. But rarely or
very few times.

I might install other system to check on my PC.

By the way, even when I opened the cover and even when everything cooled
down a bit, while watching, CPU was minimum at 80%.
