Is anyone having this issue with their template? I have timelapse videos running as the header slider and when I leave the website in idol for 10-15 minutes, I notice that my computer fan starts to get loud and overheat.
Leaving page idol causes laptop fans to get loud (overheat)

That's because your computer is running. This is normal. The fan functioning is evidence that your computer isn't 'overheating'. The fans are programmed to go full speed when a specific temperature is reached.

Animation and video causes the cpu to work harder as the computer gets older, needing more air flow to cool them. The culprit is usually dust build up over time (not age of the cpu) on the fans- causing the fans to work harder while producing less airflow. Open your case and check your fans for dust build up. Use a can of dust remover and clean the case fans and cpu heat sink fan. My same problem stopped as soon as I cleaned my fans out. And make sure all your fans are turning. Sometimes one goes bad making the other one work harder. Fans are relatively inexpensive and easy to replace if needed.

I had posted another reply to this but it didn't show.. so here it is again.
Also-besides CPU and case fans- check your video card fan. Many cards have them. That gets overlooked. Clean that fan up too!
And there are many cpu and video card stress test programs available for free. Just google them.
My PC went from noisy to silent after cleaning dust out. Now I do it regularly.

Hello,
Videos are the most Memory Hogging Elements for a CPU and affects the Graphic Processor considerably which is why the Fans starts getting worked up and runs fast! Make sure that your Video is properly optimized with the Correct Dimensions/Size which will ease the issue. Additionally, you can also consider adding the following JS Code at the bottom of the Page just after the js/functions.js JS File Linking:
jQuery(document).ready( function(){
window.addEventListener('focus', function() {
jQuery('#slider').find('video').get(0).play();
});
window.addEventListener('blur', function() {
jQuery('#slider').find('video').get(0).pause();
});
});
This will make the Video play only when the Browser/Tab is in Focus. Hope this Helps! Thanks for your Patience.
