I dont know If this is normal for my X51v, but It always gets really hot whenever I play some heavy game which requires graphic processing. For the simple games such as spot, Solitaire or GBA Emulator based games It also gets hot, but less.
Can anyone tell me If this is OK for my Axim or I'd better purchase a new good battery or something?
I'm greatly appreciated!!!
BTW, the fake server trick for ActiveSync was applied. Thanks alot to the founder of this trick

My Axim X5 also gets quite hot when the processor is at maximum and its plugged into A.C. Power.

Yes, it's normal. My Axim X50v has been continually "warm" for over 2 years, and it still runs fine. I keep it on maximum speed and usually have multiple apps running on it at the same time; e.g. web browsing and listening to music. Now, if it's scalding hot or looks like it's smoking, then you should be worried .

You can try to put the processor in power saving mode or something similar.

1. Be Kind.
2. Have fun.

Thanks all of you, I really appreciate. Now I know it's normal and it's good because it's the main wall that prevents me from enjoying games when having spare time. I guess the little too hot temp is caused by the power required from graphic processor, right?
Again, thanks for all of you and your inputs. Really helpful! Have a nice weekend brothers!

It'll automatically shut down at about 60C so I wouldn't worry - mine occasionally gets this hot if it's running as a sat nav at full speed and with the sun directly on it, as the cradle is black and prohibits the heat escaping.
