Mac gets really hot while playing
In nearly every game I play via Steam the fan is on top speed so I sugested this as normal. Reacently I bought Bioshock Infinite. Although the grafic preformance is on the lowest grafic settings especially the keyes sdf became very hot. Making it a different experiance to play.
The room temperature was 25°C but is this normal?

I have a 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 with 16 GB RAM and Intel Iris Pro.

Well, if you have a laptop, yes, they do get very hot with anything graphics-related, Macs do not have the best video cards out there (I have one, not hating on them :3), and they are pretty slim for good cooling (the laptops people use to game, like Alienwares and Asus have pretty big fans and such).

So, if you have any laptop like a Mac (slim), it's probably going to get as hot as a Mac, this is kind of normal (yet annoying).
