use http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/23049/smcfancontrol - when the thing gets hot, just increase the fan speed (to 5700 rpm or whatever you machine's max is) for a minute or two, and then everything gets back to normal.

They generate just as much heat as other systems with the same chip and chipset, but the metal case is much better at conducting heat.
