16” MacBook Pro overheats too quickly

My 16” MacBook Pro overheats way too quickly. If I just make use of the beautiful display at its potential the fans instantly turn on and do not even cool the laptop fast enough. I am not sure if it is my specific model but I have read many users having the same issue.


I hope apple fixes this issue as it is an expensive laptop.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.1
