My 15 inch mbp 2019 got super hot when I ran the dock (with HDMI and keyboard) on the same side as the charger. Having them on opposite sides helped loads with the temperature. YMMV
Thanks a lot for the tip! Funny, that's how I had it connected with the previous monitor and I didn't have trouble with the clamshell mode.
FWIW right-side power didn't help, nor did the turbo switcher AFAICT (I'm not doing anything CPU-intensive) -- but as soon as I put the monitor in the left and the power in the right the fans dropped way down. Still running, which is annoying, but not especially loud.
I find it maddening that a $3600 computer has a problem like this, and Apple doesn't even tell you about it.
