Macbook pro overheating

[Coach Dom]

Hi,
I have macbook pro early 2015 (16gb ram, 2.9 i5, Intel Iris Graphics 6100 1536 MB). I've tried to run Dota 2 on it, but even before i got into the game, my laptop start to overheating as hell. Like i was still in the menu, and it was getting hot. Is it a known topic on macbooks? Is there something i could try to make it better?

Yeah! Mine too... I guess it's their way of "partnership"... destroy "old" Macs and play Dota2 on new ones.

is there a single mac that doesn't overheat only by turning it on ? seriously when i opened my old macbookpro hoping to clear it from dusts i fond out that the case itself was the heat sink

I've never had that issue with my mid-2012 macbook pro. Perhaps you might want to take it to a genius bar?

The older ones were better! As in construction terms...
