I haven't checked the temps since I got it but decided to install Stats just to check what's happening.

Noticed the fans kick in at 23-25% WAY sooner than I thought? Just doing regular react dev work, Arc browser opened on my local page, npm running, spotify playing music and a youtube video playing as PIP sometimes shoots the CPU/GPU to 80C then slowly goes back down. Fans keep running for a while:

Just now doing a 10k batch of images on ImageOptim

CPU: 78C
Fans: 64%

Wasn't expecting the fans to kick in so early/high on macbooks! Though since its a 16" theyre whisper quiet to be honoest.
