My macbook pro 15 retina gets very hot

[Darkspirit]

Hi so i recently got a macbook pro mid 2015 (15 inch) and when watching youtube it gets extremely hot in the middle of the keyboard after just a couple of minutes, is this normal behavior? the heat seems to be centered around the y and U keys and is hotter ontop of the keyboard than it is at the bottom

You need to open up the device and clean the fans and redo the thermal paste on the CPU, and GPU if you have the AMD version. Mine was running hot with the fans on all the time until I cleaned the device and re did the thermal paste.
