The temperature may depend upon the applications and processes that you are using. Games, videos consume the CPU resources and get the Macbook pro hot whereas simple Internet browsing and simple applications will not. Check Activity Monitor to determine which applications are the culprits.

Click Activity Monitor, this will list all the software processes running, look at the % CPU, which has the biggest number running. Try to quit or stop that process or processes.

How hot is hot? Without actual temperature values there is no way of knowing if there is or is not a problem with your MBP. Download and install a temperature and fan speed monitoring application.


Open Activity Monitor to ALL PROCESSES and set CPU to display values from high to low.


When your MBP gets hot, post images of both for evaluation.


Ciao.
