    Curse every time I open anything remotely intensive (certain webpages, After Effects, games etc). Sitting in a 18°C AC'ed room helps.

    not sure about macs as theyre not really my deal but with other laptops your best bet is to replace the thermal paste with something better, undervolt the CPU as much as you can and if that doesnt work get a cooling pad with fans

    replace them with some other vendor
