I’ve wondered for a while if the fans coming on due to dual monitors is a software / driver issue that could be fixed by a patch. It would save me from buying a new machine right now.

It’s because as soon as you plug in an external monitor, the dedicated GPU is used for the output and is responsible for the added heat

That part isn't a bug, though. It needs the dedicated GPU to push all those pixels, the native screen is already pretty dense.

There was a bug where something would infinite loop on a non-standard resolution, think that was fixed.
