Thermal throttling can sometimes affect the laptop's CPU, especially in Ryzen 5 5500U models. The iGPU and hardware info often indicate a problem. It might be showing "YES" because the system is trying to protect itself from overheating.

In theory, higher temperatures reduce the lifespan of components, yet most laptops are built to reach their thermal limits for optimal performance.
