No need for extra software; you can check CPU and GPU temperatures manually with built-in system tools. To ensure temps stay within safe limits during gaming, monitor them regularly and adjust settings if necessary. If you're concerned about M.UI afterburner freezing your system, try disabling it temporarily or using a different cooling solution. For overheating issues, keep an eye on fan speeds and thermal performance while gaming. Regarding EVGA P, it might interfere with drivers—test in safe environments first.
You're unsure about your temperature because you're actively managing it by keeping the top off, which prevents overheating. Your temperatures naturally rise regardless, but that's how you maintain control.
I keep Aafterburner active on my screen to track these things
I’m confident my system will remain within safe limits during any activity. This is based on my past observations of temperatures while performing tasks and reviewing logs afterward. Monitoring them in-game wouldn’t add value—it would be a waste of time. If you’re preoccupied with temperature checks or overheating concerns, it’s likely to break your immersion or progress in the game.
Update: Clarified to reflect your original title.
Max out the stress for about ten minutes. If you're good, just keep going. I've played for a week without a working cooler and had a few times forgetting to turn on the GPU pump, causing crashes. It's still running after years. Overall, it seems safe, though I wouldn't recommend it.
