Nothing derails a good online casino session quite like a stuttering live dealer stream at exactly the wrong moment. The dealer deals the final card, the roulette wheel begins its final rotation, and your video feed suddenly drops frames or freezes entirely. Before blaming your internet connection, it is worth considering a less obvious culprit that catches out far more gaming PCs than people realise: thermal throttling. Extended sessions, whether a long evening of live dealer tables or hours spent running graphically rich slot animations, generate sustained heat that many systems simply are not built to handle gracefully.
