I'm noticing whenever i plug the Rift and start developing and testing in Unity, my computer fans get loud, i guess cause the computer is hot.

But this doesn't seem to happen when i'm playing purchased VR games like Roborecall or whatever.

Have you compared the CPU and GPU usage while running the different apps? I suspect you'll find they are higher when the fans are going more.

Likely you aren't noticing it as much when you're in VR games because you've got a headset with headphones on. It will still be happening. Otherwise it could be a sign that you are developing a really, really heavy unity scene!
