My macbook pro gets way too hot. All I'm doing is browsing the web, and with "better battery life graphics" it's a normal temp, but with "higher performance" the metal at the top left is burning hot and I have a reading of 70 degrees celsius. Browsing the web! When playing minecraft, I stay around 92 celsius, and the keyboard feels close to too hot to be comfortable. Is this really normal?

big no no I learned. haven't passed 80C since.
