Yes indeed That was what I meant.
The same situation with my new gaming PC ShyTech GTX 1070.
( i7-6700K 4.0Ghz, Liquid Cooled, GTX 1070 8GB, 2TB HDD, 240GB SSD, 16GB DDR4, Z170 Motherboard, Win 10 Pro 64-bit)
Everything was fine before installing McAfee. Now it heats up every time I use many programs at the same time.
McAfee version: 15.1
Have you checked to see if updates are current. Also program could be corrupted and an full uninstall and reinstall might clear up things. You uninstall via windows Progrsms and features reboot and then run the mcpr removal tool. This available from
Reboot and see if issue persists
