MacBook Pro Extremely Hot

Hi there,


My MBP 15" has been getting too hot to touch when using some applications. I'm a student and I just bought this mac for 3d usage and 2d drawings. It's mainly while using:


- 3DS Max in Windows 7 Bootcamp, the processor tempurature can nearly reach 90c. (I don't have many polys on the screen either)

- While gaming, Skyrim, Portal 2, Minecraft.

- Or drawing through a Wacom tablet on Photoshop (In OSX Lion)


I understand these are heavy applications, but 90c is a little too hot, and I'm worried about damaging such an expensive laptop.


I have the i7 2.2ghz, 6750m model, and I'm using the laptop on a hard desk surface. I've tried lifting it up through the use of a book. No change.


The heat is around the area from the tab key to the power button on the under side.


Can anyone help? Thanks!

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
