[SOLVED] While I'm playing Minecraft my computer makes noise

For the first few minutes it's okay, but after a few minutes my mac starts making a hissing sound? And then it gets hotter? But after I quit the game the noise stops within two minutes.

Hissing like a cooling fan kicked on maybe?

Games require your computer to work harder, which heats up the CPU and graphics chip, amongst other things. Once they reach a certain temperature, the fan or fans, depending on your Mac, will kick in to lower or maintain that temperature. Ad full utilization, and depending on your computer, it get get really hot and loud. This is normal and nothing to be concerned about.
