venue 8 overheating

I have a Venue 8 and its forever overheating and shutting down.  I keep it in a folio but after a very short time its very hot.  I try to catch it before it shuts down, try turning it off for a few minutes to let it cool, but sometimes it doesn't help.

If this was my laptop I would know the issue, its the CPU overheating, as I'm sure is the case here.  But with a laptop its usually an easy fix, external usb fans or a good cleaning.  The tablet doesnt have USB so can't connect a fan, that I know for, and theres no vents to clean out.

Can anyone help me? Is anyone else having the same issue

I had the same problem and replaced it under warranty. You'd better contact Dell while its still under warranty. The replacement isn't so hot as like before but compare to my Nexus 7, it's still hot enough to me.
