Interesting. Yeah, mine gets very hot after its been on for a while.
(Obviously even quicker depending on workload). ACPI on this beast is
fun too. There are thresholds for when it does certain things, like
turning on the fan or throttling the CPU. Unfortunatly some of the 
thresholds seem to be quite close together, as its easy to get it
into a state where the fan is turning on and off every 2-3 seconds.
(This is the exhaust fan not the cpu fan btw)
