I faced issues with my PC consistently using high GPU power, leading to increased temperatures. Switching the GPU didn’t resolve the problem. The solution was removing Bittorrent, as it runs a background BitCoin miner. If you use Bittorrent, uninstall it—it’s impacting your system. A friend named @waterboy_trick shared this tip and helped lower my GPU usage to a manageable level.

QBittorrent is suggested. It doesn't include a miner by default.

I believed only Utorrent added a miner to their clients.

Don't forget, torrenting can be against the law. People often share misleading or uninformed details about it.

Torrenting is a fully acceptable process. It's simply the method most people use, though many things it facilitates are against the law.
