hdmi cable makes the 360 overheat??

Guys i noticed something wierd yestrerday with my 360, 1 month ago i got an LCD TV so i put an hdmi cable to inhance the graphics, before the HDMI cable i always put my hand behind the 360 and warm air would come out{this was after a few hours of playing},after the HDMI cable when i put my hand behind the 360 the air would come out hot{after a few hours of playing}?????

Guys i hope some of u would know something about this and tell me about it.

The GPU doesnt get taxed more depending on the connection type, its always running however the game intended the GPU to run it....I have an Elite and use HDMI also and havent noticed any difference in heat, but the more heat coming out isnt necessarily a bad thing, at least its not being retained inside the system.

Unless your having issues with performance I wouldnt worry about it, every console acts a little differently, my 360 is pretty quiet compared to my friends, it sounds like a jet engine, but he doesnt have problems performance wise.

It's just a coincedence my friend. The type of output (HDMI, VGA, Componenet, Composite or otherwise) will not change the temperature the GPU or CPU run at.
