So i was playing Kartrider:Drift the other day for a couple hours until suddenly my PC completely shut down, at first i thought it was a power cut so thought nothing of it until the next day when playing Kartrider again and after a while it shut down, after this happened for the 3rd time i decided to do a little research and found out it was due to overheating.

I found this weird as i've never had any issues with any other games and can play Rocket League and other games for hours without any issues, So i downloaded a program called SpeedFan which tells you all your PC temperatures and tested several games, i tried this with Rocket League, Final Fantasy FFXIV, Hearthstone and KartRider:Drift and was pretty surprised at the results as KartRider was making my PC run at almost 20% hotter than any of those other games!

I play FFXIV for 3-4 hours every day and never have any issues, i know its a much older game but i run it on the highest settings and it has a ton of special effects and in raids you're with 23 other players at the same time, unfortunately i will not be able to take part in any more of this beta as i'm worried it could end up damaging my PC but i hope you can look into this as it seems like an optimization issue. I've also tried running Kartrider and much lower settings but the results stay exactly the same.

edit: Would be interesting to see someone else run this test with a couple different games and post your results.
