Is this only when using those emulators? That may be the issue.

I'm not surprised the fan can kick up when using emulators. They can be very demanding. My pro 3 may be a powerful device, but it cant even emulate a 13 year old PS2 game.

I noticed on another thread that some were saying their Defender was the cause of their fan running more. They said they switched to another virus application & the fan running dropped off precipitously along with the heating. Don't know if this will do the trick or not, but some said, "Yes!"

I do know for certain that after the May firmware update my SP3 started immediately running warmer and the fan began running more. I hadn't changed my use of the SP3 so I'm certain that particular firmware update caused it.

Let your SP3 sleep when you aren't using it. It will cool down while you are away.

Yeah, when I am away or at work, I push the power button so it goes into connected display.
