The whole purpose of a computer is to run apps.


Computers get warm whenever in use. Drawing power from the battery causes heat. Running the processor causes heat. Using the main memory causes heat. Using main storage causes heat. Both generating the graphics contents of and powering the display backlight causes heat.


Of all of the power that goes into a computer, the vast majority of that power turns into heat.


Run your game.


In the event that there are heating issues that might damage the Mac, the Mac will throttle performance, or will perform a hard shut down. But a Mac that gets warm when running intensive code is normal.

I mean, when I bought it from the Steam app, I found that Apple was compatible with ets 2 on the system. It gets a little hot when I'm playing Ets 2, and when I get to the game's menu, my Mac cools a little, its temperature drops on its own, so I want to say that this warm-up is usually when playing games on the Mac. If I play every day, it usually warms up, albeit slightly, when playing the game, and when I close the game, its temperature immediately drops by itself, just wanted to say that in my question, dear user. Do you know if it can harm the macbook while playing games even though it's hot? Please answer if you know
