    It really shouldn't be that bad. But you can buy cooling pads to make it less of an issue. You can also mod your heatsync if you're into that kind of thing.

    Look in the accessories forum for links and thoughts on cooling pads. The heatsync is the metal device that whisks heat off the processor. Check the mods forum for details on that.
