    First of all: What MODEL of laptop do you have? It might be possible to re-apply the thermal paste.

    According to the maintenance manual located here,

    it's not going to be easy getting to the cpu to re-apply the thermal paste. That alone would resolve the issue (Fingers crossed) but for now I'd go with the second option:

    Please install this and let us know what the machine idles at:


    On another note the i3 should run quite cool so there might not be an issue or one that I can help with as I don't use those emulators or know what/how they do what they do. Reply with your temperatures. One for idle and the other for when you're running your emulator.
