CV1 gets way too hot after playing for 45 minutes

I'm not sure I can play longer than 45 minutes because of how hot the CV1 gets pressed up against my forehead.  I just took the headset off several minutes ago and can still feel the sting from the heat.  I know that not a lot of people have the CV1 right now but has anyone else with the CV1 had this problem?  I tried playing with a fan blowing against my head while wearing the headset and that seems to help quite a bit.

I never had this issue with the DK1, DK2, or Gear VR.

Same with me, play for hours never gets *hot* or anywhere near where I can feel heat from it.

Just wait for a VR Aio liquid cooler u.u

Kidding ^_^, is very strange, since in the end is just a par of oled screen and a dozen of led... don't think that giroscopes accelerometer atc can create heat...

Well the Rift gets hot at the top but that doesn't transfer to my head at all?

Didn't you read in the instructions ? "Eat Ice Cream before Use to stay Cool"
