Question Laptop charger gets way too hot ?

[kennethrjones.cs]

I just got a new laptop and I had it plugged in while playing WoW. The charger was sitting near me and it got so hot that I got burned by it and it is literally melting anything I set it on. There is no safe place to put something this HOT.

I checked online and I read that this charger is 240W and its going to get hot when plugged in, but my god, there's no way this is real. I have had laptops before and I know the chargers get hot, but this is to the point where it feels dangerous.

I really like the laptop so I don't want to send it back to Amazon, but if this is normal for this laptop, there's no way I can keep it. It started melting the wood (or whatever/fake wood) on my desk and I have a burn on my foot.

I'm going to message ASUS tomorrow, but they are closed now.

(BTW The laptop itself is cool. It's not hot at all. I bought the KLIM Everest Cooler and its keeping the laptop cold to the touch.)

This is the laptop I bought:

According to this;

the adapter is 280W. Can you pass on an image of the stickered info on the adapter you have in hand?

This might be a worthwhile read;

As for your laptop, have you tried undervolting the CPU and GPU? If not, have a read through this;

Ultra 9 275 HX undervolting

Hello there, I've bought an MSI VECTOR 16 with a intel ultra 9 275 HX. The performances are awesome, but I was a little concerned about temps. I use this laptop for work and gaming (if I have a little time). I'm doing physics simulations for my work, and theses simulations can last hours, so...
