Heat issue with all motors during printing

I just assembled my MK2S and found out that during printing all 4 motors runs at a very high temperature.
Not too sure about the exact temperature but should be about 70 deg Celsius as I am only to touch it for about 2-3 secs.
Is this normal?

Look at ambient temperature and also for the temperature rise :

Re: Heat issue with all motors during printing

furthermore: you should be able to reduce the motor current while printing in [silent] mode instead of [high power].
