The Consumer Reports article mentioned downloads as a CPU-intensive task causing heat, so I thought that streaming a full screen video should provide some indication, since it combines downloading with the video loading the GPU. I found an old Jackie Chan movie on Youtube, because really, who's cooler than Jackie Chan? After almost 2 hours, there was a slight warming, but I'm not sure I even would have noticed it if I wasn't looking for it.

I imagine a processor-intensive game would be a better test, but I'm not a gamer.
