Q: Macbook Pro early 2015 heating

Hi Experts,

 

My MacBook pro ( early 2015 ) with retina display is heating up to 70 C very fast while watching videos. I have think pad and never faced such type of issues while watching same videos and this is not what I expected from macbook.

 

I didn't install any multimedia editing softwares yet, that consume CPU more than watching a simple video, frankly I am little scared to install them :-).  I have an appointment at apple store in a week, and don't want to burn my MBP before that and right now I am holding on installing any new things on it.

 

Fan was turned on while doing simple things like, installing Chrome, Syncing photos from Iphone to MacBook, Watching a video without any other things open. I do this basic level of activity on other laptops and they don't generate as much heat as MacBook.

 

I reset SMC, RAM, ran diagnostics and nothing was found there.

 

Can you please suggest any tips to reduce heat generated by MBP ?

 

Thanks,

Kan.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
