"Will dissipating heat through the back cover damage my MacBook?: I have been thinking of using external methods to cool down my mac by dissipating heat through the back cover. Though i am a a bit concerned that this may cause damages to internal components due to the difference in heat of the back cover and heat sink"

Keeping a Cool Mac:
A. Based on Personal Experience:
On my desk, I'm always using a riser for my MBP(it has no fans). On my lap, I'm always using a Laptop Cooler that is at an angle. Being at an angle, the fans circulate much slower and frankly are never heard. My riser lays at a 35 degree angle, and my laptop cooler lays at a 30% angle.
