Topic: SVP Overheating Issues: Any fix?

Hello, I have been using SVP for about a month and the experience is great for me, but I only have a small issue. My laptop starts overheating like crazy after a while. I even bought an external cooler but it still doesn't help.

So, I was wondering if there was a way to change some SVP settings to minimize this issue.

I should mention that my laptop isn't a very strong one and my GPU is the integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620. I already know I should upgrade my hardware, so please don't suggest that. Right now, I am only looking for a way to minimize the heating as much as I can with SVP.

I am currently using Potplayer with Avisynth and Lav filters.

Here is my full PC specs:

Processor - Intel Core i5 8265U 8th Generation
RAM - 12GB
GPU - Intel UHD Graphics 620
OS - Windows 11 Home

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Re: SVP Overheating Issues: Any fix?

You need to lower CPU usage. See to CPU load value and change SVP profile settings to make it lower.
SVP menu Utilities > Performance monitor

Also you can use video with lower resolution. The lower resolution the lower CPU load.
Also you can use another player and another video renderer to reduce CPU load by rendering compltely with GPU.
MPC-HC menu View > Options... > Output tab > Select:
- MPC Video Renderer; or
- Enchanced Video Renderer (Custom presenter) with D3d Fullscreen option enabled and Bilinear Resizer.
