I recently set up a second monitor and I'm curious about the impact of having a web browser with YouTube playing while I'm gaming. Does this combo cause my CPU and GPU to run hotter than normal? Is it safe to do this while I game? Any insights would be appreciated!

Yes, running YouTube in the background can add load to your CPU and GPU, which might slightly increase their temperatures. But don't worry, it's generally safe to do so! Just keep an eye on your temps occasionally to make sure everything stays within a reasonable range.
You're not going to see a significant temperature increase, but there will be some added load. It's usually safe to have YouTube running while you play, especially if you enjoy listening to music while gaming. Just make sure your system is well-ventilated!
Having both running will add a bit of load, which can increase temps, but it's not a major concern. Lots of gamers do this without issues.
