Is this everytime?

there are 2 things which become hot :

the CPU (logically) and the RAM. The HDD is the most time, not warmer as your hand. (approx 35-37 degrees in normal) CPU approx 45-60 degrees and the RAM can be much warmer.

It's normal, but I would suggest keeping it in a clean enviorment and keeping the fans clean.
