Microsoft: Fix for Surface Pro 3 overheating issues coming soon

CNET: There have been reports by some recent Surface Pro 3 users -- specifically those buying the Intel Core i7 devices -- that their tablets are overheating. Microsoft officials responded publicly on Tuesday to those reports, saying a fix is in the works and that it will be available "as soon as possible." (Officials declined to say if that means on the next Patch Tuesday, which is September 9, or some other date.)

A limited number are experiencing this? Should this translate to everyone who bought one? I jest of course, but I do wonder what the actual numbers are as it's not a big seller compared to other tablets.

Not for me, mine's working fine.

I installed 32-bit Chrome on one of the work computers, just to see how it fared against IE and Firefox. It is fast, much faster than Firefox. I don't know what they've had to sacrifice to get those speeds (security?), but it makes a difference on our slow, outdated work desktops. Which is to say I might consider installing it at home.

I'm mostly talking about RAM usage of Chrome in Windows7. For most 32bit OSes and systems, it's just too much RAM is needed to have more than 6 tabs open. And for Win laptops, it eats battery nicely. But for most 64bit desktops with more than 4GB of RAM, it's fine. While in some artificial benchmarks FF and IE11 come close, they aren't close enough. And there are so many features in Chrome which they don't have, it's amazing.
