It appears that your CPU supports video, so as long as your motherboard does also, you should be able to configure hardware acceleration (HWA).
I have a, i5 6600k, which is enough to transcode 1080p videos, so yours should be even better (that generation should be able to transcode to 265, and might be faster in general).
The reason your CPU fan kicked in is because your client was unable to play the video, audio, and/or subtitle codex, so your Jellyfin server transcoded on the fly and streamed that instead. In this case it was probably video, either to convert to a different codec, or to burn in subtitles. The other person playing something else not doing that would be because their client was able to stream directly without conversion. It might be worth going into settings on the client app(s) and making sure it's set to use a video player of some sort rather than web as the render engine, as web has the least number of supported formats.
FireSale already explained what HWA is, and the instructions linked in the server settings page should hopefully be enough: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/admini...celeration
