Overheating MacBook Pro 2016 w/ Touchbar

Hi Everyone and thanks in advance for your feedback.

Has anyone experienced significant overheating issues with the new MacBook Pro (late 2016 model with Touch Bar)?

I purchased my MacBook Pro in Dec-16 and since using, I've noticed my MacBook Pro has been getting incredibly hot on the back (area behind the Touch Bar) and it has been performing/functioning poorly/slowly.

I'm not doing anything intensive (i.e., only Google Chrome/Safari; and Microsoft Office - Word/PowerPoint/Excel) so this is a bit disconcerting.

Over the past few weeks, it has been getting incrementally hotter (by touch/feel). I brought it into the Apple Store for a Genius Bar Appointment, and the resolution was to turn off the FileVault feature so I can no longer use this feature.

Even in cooler conditions (e.g., when I was in the UK in Dec/Jan) my MacBook was still running hot. The back of the laptop has the heat ranging between a 1/2-boiled to 3/4-boiled kettle. Not yet scalding, but very hot.

I've found it has helped to put my MacBook inside the fridge to cool it down every couple of hours and it functions significantly better immediately after.

I was wondering whether anyone else has experienced issues like this with their MacBook Pro.

I'm hoping it won't explode or catch fire when I walk out of my office/away from my desk for a coffee break or to stretch my legs (although I guess that would be better than having it smoke/burst into flames whilst I'm using it). Would appreciate if anyone has experienced similar issues. To date, Apple don't have any solution (apart from turning off File Vault) so maybe we could share some data/experiences here to help them find a solution.

I was in the Apple Store for about 2hrs in January when they tried to diagnose and fix it, however I think the Apple R&D/Help Team don't know how to resolve yet. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this as it's a good laptop and I find the Touch Bar function helpful/convenient.
