I have a new MacBook Pro which I’m connecting to an external monitor. I know why it is heating but I want to know if anyone having the same problem and how did you solve it?

Yeah Like when I’ve just connected and not even doing something on the monitor screen then suddenly fans kick in and started to heat up.

One day I had open some 20 tabs on chrome and using monitors to watch youtube at the same time. Then I started to play chess on chess.com. After that, it got lagged so bad that I had to stop the game.

Also, my docker is always running all the time. But after all, this, if I’m using all this not using an external monitor it will work just fine.

So I’m guessing it’s something to do with graphics. I really don’t know how to set up the dedicated GPU. If you can guide me there that would be helpful.
