MacBook heating issue

MacBook heats up when connected to an external monitor. Surprisingly the same issues happens while working with Microsoft word even without an extended monitor. I have seen same issue with other users. It’s quite sad that MacBook is unable to handle such low bar task that dont even demand intense GPU usage.

MacBook Pro 13″, OS X 10.11
