#CONNECT MACBOOK TO MONITOR CAUSE HEAT PRO#

And I never complained that my MacBook Air (or iMac) got hot when compiling software or transcoding video or doing other intensive tasks. > They are not designed to be used for the same heavy tasks without proper cooling. The fans are otherwise working (they're active and audible when computer is charging). I performed Apple diagnostics and it reported no errors.

and thus even more uncomfortable on my hands. If the MacBook is charging at the same time, the temperature is even higher (I didn't measure it, since it was charged already when I took the measurements). I'm not worried about the hardware overheating, but the temperature is so high that it is uncomfortable using it. I read that it was previously (on older MacBooks) possible to disable secondary graphics card, etc. The USB-C - HDMI converter I'm using is this one. The reported temperatures from iStat Menus are even higher (skin at 45C).

The fan is silent (iStats report that it is at 1950 RPMs). The chassis around touchpad has 37C (99F). The temperature on the left speaker is 40C (104F) and the temperature of the USB-C adapter's steel case is 45C (113F). The same monitor was previously connected to a 2013 MacBook Air (i7) and there were no heating issue whatsoever (it would get hot only when doing extremely intensive CPU work). The notebook is performing fine, but when it is connected to the external Dell monitor (2560x1440 resolution), it gets uncomfortably hot.

I have a recently (last week) bought a MacBook Pro 13' - 2017 with two Thunderbolt 3 ports. My question is about chassis temperature and overheating issues.
