    Surface Pro 3 Overheat Damage

    Hi there, No, other than it is fairly warm being summer here in Australia. I had it inside a leather folio case which covers the back, but does not obstruct the air vents around the side.

    Surface Pro 3 Overheat Damage

The device was fairly warm, and the fans where running (and always seem to be) at full blast. This is the first time it has occurred. I am wondering, does this cause...

    SP3 Case

    Having just purchased a SP3, I am wondering if anyone can recommend a case for the SP3. I like the silicon ones (such as the Incipio Feather) but are wondering if anyone can please enlighten me about this case or others?

    SP3 Power Options

    Mainly programs such as disk cleanup (initially, there where a large amount of Windows Update cleanups that took >40 mins to clear). My concern primarily is any warping or bending in the case due to heat that may occur, as has been documented on here.

    SP3 Power Options

    Hi All, I am wondering if anyone has performed the power tweak to unlock performance mode in power settings? Interestingly, when I did it, the device operates much cooler when set to "power saver" as one would expect. I also modified this plan so the CPU performance rate is the same as high...

    Surface Pro 3 Heat

    Hi All, I have purchased a surface Pro 3, 256GB i5 and have noticed that under load, the device gets very hot (in the high 70's degrees Celsius). This then means that the back of the device gets fairly warm. Have there been any issues with the device case warping/bending at all due to...
