Used Speed Fan, it showed that core 0 ran at 51 c and core 1 was 47 c. However I now recall having used Speed Fan
some years ago on this computer and that a similar result was obtained. Dunno just what that means though, except
that there has always been difference between the two cores so...

They seem a little on the high side, if that's at idle, though.

You could try logging the temperatures with speedfan, running your game, and see how hot it gets before it crashes.

Now logging temps is a good idea. I will do that !
