Mine does the same thing too. A bit of a serious design flaw though It does depend on how hard the machine is working. I've found that if you take the latency down to very low figures, (14 buffers for instance) it heats up pretty quickly. Conversely, raising the latency makes it work less hard and therefore is less likely to overheat.
