So, like the title indicates, I'm having an issue with near-immediate heating up of the CPU running OBS software to stream to Twitch. Well, that's the intent, I actually haven't done anything but plug the webcam into the usb port, and opened OBS with a "stream preview" window. It's scaling a 720p webcam, not trying to broadcast in 1080p.
Nothing else is running on the mac aside from OBS, and in the cpu/process monitor, it's definitely the OBS that's using 8-10% of the CPU, but the temp, once I start that preview stream to check the video, just starts marching to 80° and then I get the "dude, this is too hot" notification. Fans are kicking in at 3K+ too.
(rMBP 13" stock aside from SSD upgrade)
Would you call this normal behavior on a laptop? If so it's not a huge deal, I've got a really long USB extension cable and a beastly main PC rig sitting next to this desk so I can just use it, was just hoping to maybe be able to stream some stuff in a more "mobile" sense.
I dug through OBS setup documentation and can't really find anything conductive on the program causing the CPU to spit lava.
Any suggestions on what I could do to troubleshoot that, or whether or not it's normal for a laptop to not really be used as a streaming start-point, is all appreciated. Thanks. Have a good evening.
