   When I tried using OBS just to make a video of a game, it was laggy and had many dropped frames. It was hard to use and I couldn't figure out how to stop the lagging. Whereas, the Xbox Game bar was way simpler and the clip had no dropped frames or lag. I prefer to use Xbox Game Bar nowadays. Sometimes I go back to OBS and try it again to see it was a bug and had been patched but I had no success.

   👍 Pros:    Easy to use|Great quality videos|User-friendly|Excellent features|No dropped frames in recording

   👎 Cons:    Not enough features for recording

It displays all sorts of system statistics in the menu bar and lets you define custom fan controls for different component (CPU, etc) temperatures, all in a nice, sleek interface.

If using iStat, go to iStat Menus, click on the CPU/GPU dropdown, then the GPU in the active items bar, and select processor. You'll see a graph and you can just let that sit for a few minutes and...

• ACC + Steam working great with apple's game porter

  Fantastic! I read that it is an M1, but what model and configuration exactly is it? If you like and are curious, install this app https://bjango.com/mac/istatmenus/, it tells you everything, temperature, fan RPM, etc. Source: 12 months ago

• MacBook Pro keeps heating up really fast.

  You can monitor the internal temperatures with iStat Menus or similar, but there's really no need. The system automatically adjusts fan speed to cool itself off when needed. Source: about 1 year ago
