Hi,

I’ve just noticed that with certain games or running games with crossover, no matter how no demanding are the games, the laptop gets at 70 degrees easily.

Other games make the Mac get 50-65 degrees but those games are literally no demanding indies pixel art stuff… is it because they are running through Rosetta?

Makes me worry a little tbh
 
It’s normal, it’s doing intensive work, it gets hot. Why does it make you worry? That’s how computers work.
 
It’s pretty obvious that when you demand a lot of the chip, it will run hotter. 70° is well below the maximum operational temperature of most chips. I’m not sure the concern is something to be overly worried about.
