   Fortnite — SSD vs HDD load times in open-world games

   Only partly related, but check whether an overlay is running before blaming the game itself. Others may have a cleaner method.

   Thermal paste reapplication — how much did it help?

   Not the answer you want, but measure before and after, otherwise you are just guessing whether it helped.

   Do influencer codes expire faster than official ones?

   Agreed on most of this, except if it only happens in one mode, that narrows it down considerably.
