Mac Pro 2019, warm/hot to touch

I just got a brand new Mac Pro 2019 for work and transferred my previous Mac Pro (older model) to the new one via the transfer service provided.

It's running great, and I love the laptop, however, I noticed that it runs rather warm at the back of the bottom and near the vents. Is this normal for this laptop? I did upgrade the processor to the i7 and 32GB ram since I do a lot of development work.

I've got it in a vertical stand with the bottom vents faced out and run it in clamshell mode hooked to a large retina display.

I just want to make sure the heat is normal for this laptop.

Heat is normal.

Can you please be more specific! First you say Mac Pro, then you mentioned laptop. Which device do you have and what is it's model?

Processor and RAM upgrade is not possible for this model. Perhaps you have replaced the whole unite. But how warm the laptop should be depends on what you use it for. HD games could cause exhausted fans. Heat is never normal. Unless you have leak of minimum airflow in the room. MacBook Pro 16" 2019 i7 CPU and 32GB RAM is an excellent device but it should not run (warm-to-touch) with normal use.
