Hi.

Usually my Motherboard is in the 30C-40C sector while playing games (XCOM2/Hearthstone/Binding of Isaac etc.) but I purchased RCT1 the other day and looked at my temps and my Motherboard went from 31C to 60C.
Why is this Happening only with RCT1? Is this dangerous?

Is it because the game is very old and I can't Limit FPS?

It's strange because it's only the Motherboard that goes up in temperature significantly. Also, why does it go up by 30C in like 5 seconds - seems odd?
I use speccy to Monitor my temperatures.
I run RCT1 in compatibility mode (Windows XP SP2) so I can run it in Fullscreen (1024x768)

Can post my specs if needed, but I highly doubt it's something on my end since my PC is only 1-2 months old and I built it myself

Either you havent look at those temps while your PC is under some real load or there are other variables.
