I had my logicboard replaced, and now I notice that the left side of my unibody macbook late 2008 runs hot on the left side, right under the mag safe.

Is this caused by the logicboard change? or is it all in my head?

yea I have, and it's quite buggy, slowdowns every now and then, and safari sometimes locks up for a second.

I think I noticed the hot part before installing leopard though.
