There is ventilation on the top too. It is definitely exclusively a malfunction because my fan broke off and I removed it (dev console) and played it just fine for weeks before requesting a new fan.
I played for a few hours last night. The Ball. And it was not hot. And it had been on for like a week prior to that. Maybe yours is defective.

Darn, that is horrible news... Was kind of hoping mine wasnt the only one with this issue. Well thanks for the replies, now I know its normally not supposed to be that hot and will look into what may be causing it. Already submitted a help request with Ouya as well.
It has 4 vents in the top, along the edges. Of course, the fan isn't oriented towards the vents, the fan is sideways.Originally Posted by MetalFlanger
Please let us know what reply you get from the Ouya support team + if you figure out what has caused the over-heating!
The first day that I used it my USB thumb drive got really hot. The metal plug. But I don't think that it's happened since. I'll pay closer attention tonight.
Good to know, thanks. Couldn't see the top vents in any of the photos.

I still say facing the fan pretty much against the side of the console was a horrible design choice... The airflow is so restricted, I wouldn't be surprised if we had another PS3 blunder on our hands...
Tegra 3 works just fine without the fan enclosed in a phone or a tablet, so I wouldn't worry about it. If the device is overheating, then it might be a lemon.
But the T3 phones and tablets are ot overclocked (they are actually underclocked for increased longevity)
