It's normal that the computer gets hot while you are doing heavy tasks. However, fans turn on automatically to cool down the computer. Download Temperature Monitor and tell me the temperatures > http://www.bresink.de/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html


If you see that fans don't turn on when your computer gets hot, do a SMC reset > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
