It may produce an answer just as you have posted it, but it all depends

If you can be more specific about the temperature, it would help -
'fairly hot' does not indicate much. Too hot to hold the fingers on it
for a minute is descriptive, as is 'too hot to touch', but if you have
the capability for actual temperature measurements, that is very helpful.
What I can say about it is that many hams become concerned about heating
of an area that is designed to act as a heat sink, even when operating
well within the normal limits.
