It may produce an answer just as you have posted it, but it all depends
on who is monitoring the list.

If you can be more specific about the temperature, it would help -
'fairly hot' does not indicate much. Too hot to hold the fingers on it
for a minute is descriptive, as is 'too hot to touch', but if you have
the capability for actual temperature measurements, that is very helpful.
What I can say about it is that many hams become concerned about heating
of an area that is designed to act as a heat sink, even when operating
well within the normal limits.

When running the K3 on two meters It gets fairly hot fairly quick
since it only uses the side of the case as a heatsink.
I noticed that the K3 Remained warm for some time. When I went Back to HF
and the
fans for the PA came on the K3 cooled down fairly quickly and has remained
cool.
This makes me think that a FW change that would either run the fans whenever
the
K3 transmits on two meters or reads the temp of the front panel to turn the
fans on.
