This is commonly repeated but it really depends on what is meant by "normal use" and caused me a lot of headache when I thought my board was defective. If you mean watch youtube videos on one display at regular quality, the pi4 hits 80+ degrees c, at which point the metal is burning hot to the touch and starts throttling.
Desktop / gui use requires either hanging the board so there is air passing on all sides or a cooling solution.

- SanchoPanda 7y agoI have not experienced that in this context.
