Mine is more than a inch thick, I'd say it's about an inch and half thick. The cooling system is probably a joke on mine too, it often reaches 80°C while being idle.

Could be worth a try: did you open it and blow some compressed air through the heat sink? I did this when my MacBook was some 5 years old for the first time, and it helped with temperature and the fans would stop revving up during normal use.

That's really bad, maybe it's an option to repaste the CPU. Because this isn't normal.
