Sorry for the silly title, but I just couldn't resist!
Anyway, I was just wondering what other people's experiences are with the temperature of your Pi while running under load.
When running XBMC or Debian running X my Pi runs hot enough that putting your finger on the SOC for more than a second is painful. (However, I am a total wimp when it comes to heat.) I am guessing this is around 120 degrees F (49C) or so. This is one of those times when I wich I had an IR thermometer to post some real data. Also of note, all of my peripherals are attached to a powered USB hub.
I'm wondering if my Pi is outside of the "norm" or if this is expected.
Thanks!

Re: Pi Baking?
Good guess. Both the CPU and the USB/Ethernet chip run at about 50C. I'd point you to the thread where this has been discussed to death, but I wouldn't want to scare you.
Summary: Yes it does. It is supposed to. There is nothing wrong.
Oh go on then: Ethernet chip gets raging hot
