I have moved your topic to the hardware forums as it is more appropriately placed here
Do you have a link to the replacement electrical cord that you purchased so that we can take a look.
The extra heat may be a result of the graphics chip working harder.
What are the temperatures like where the notebook is being used.
Is the notebook used on a flat and even surface at all times.
Have you tried removing the battery and using the notebook while only the AC adapter is providing the power, if not please do so and let us know the outcome as in the computers behavior and whether or not the adapter itself gets hot.
You could try reducing the heat inside the notebook by giving it a basic clean out with canned compressed air, a guide to help with this available from Here, it is a HP tutorial but the principle is basically the same.

Can you please answer all of the questions that I asked;
What are the temperatures like where the notebook is being used.
Is the notebook used on a flat and even surface at all times.
Just to clarify, does this mean that the Rocketfish adapter gets hot when you use the notebook with the battery removed.If I remove the battery, when it gets hot it just all of a sudden shuts down....
You are welcome BTW Meliahug

The battery would not appear to be the problem so it is back to the AC adapter, would it be possible for you to borrow a compatible AC adapter to try with your notebook to see if the problem is still present, if not you could ask a local tech or tech store to check the voltage on the Rocketfish AC adapter, if the voltage of the AC adapter is too high for the notebook it will get hot and when you are gaming the power supply is working harder and so it will also be getting hotter.
What happens if you disconnect the AC adapter and use only the battery to power the notebook when you are gaming.
It would help if you could provide a link to the Rocketfish adapter that you have.
Just so that you are aware Rocketfish supply so called compatible adapters such as yours that produce up to 24V and that is why we need to check the one that you have, see example Here that produces up to 24V
You should also read the reviews at the bottom of the amazon page - they are not very good

What is the answer please.What happens if you disconnect the AC adapter and use only the battery to power the notebook when you are gaming.
It is very hard for me to answer your question with 100% certainty, I would do the clean out of dust first as it will help with the internal cooling in any event (the cooling fan could be clogged),example cleaning guide and then take the notebook and Rocketfish adapter to a reputable computer store and explain the problem, they will then be able to test the Rocketfish adapter and try a suitable adapter with your notebook, this is the only way that I can advise regarding the adapter as we would not like you to spend any money if it is not necessary.

This may suggest that the battery needs replacing.It runs normally but battery life goes quick....
Please note that you should not use a notebook with both the battery and AC adapter connected and powered up unless it is to charge the battery, if you do it will shorten the life span of the battery and cause possible malfunctions.
The cooling fan that I refer to is the notebooks own internal one which cannot be seen without opening the notebook case, that is why the basic cleaning guide shows how to direct short blasts of compressed air through the exhaust vents etc.
