So recently I've loaded my mac with bootcamp and thrown windows 8.1 on there (I'm a windows server admin) when I noticed the top left corner getting quite hot.
The issue occurs in OS X aswell and as far as I can tell its about 105 when zipping large files. Is this typical of a MBA? I know its not a power user platform but I have to throttle the CPU to 80% in windows just to prevent a overheat.

Specs
Size: 13"
CPU: Intel-Core-i7-4650U
MEM: 8GB
SSD: 512GB
Surface tested on, flat metal with no vent obstructions.
After-thought question:
If anyone knows, would removing OS X completely and keeping it installed on a USB 3.0 flash drive void any kind of warranty if I should need to return the device?
