Description

Dear Devs,

I'm just a user, using POB as other POE lover would.
However, I recently have an issue with POB that it would ran my PC fan at 100% when only on "selecting build" screen.
I noticed this start happen after I change to my new high-end PC.

I found a solution on reddit
But the SimpleGraphic.dll will be overwritten after any POB update and the issue comeback.

I wonder if there is a permanent solution for this.

P/s: I don't know if this fall into bug category, so I made a blank ticket.
My new specs: i7-13700KF & RTX 3090, 32Gb Ram, running Win 10
Best Regards!

Research direction

The report identifies the selecting-build screen and a SimpleGraphic.dll workaround, but no repository file or test. Reproduce the 100% CPU and fan behavior on that screen, then trace the related graphics path; done means the permanent fix survives POB updates without the workaround.
