If the F3 is using the latest firmware and still glitches , double check your LNB and internet side of things....never had any such issues that were directly box related with my F5 or the newer F5s.
For the money your taking don't bother changing.....save up......but even then unless you find the Skybox lacking features they are hard to beat for value....pop the top off your F3 and drill some 1/2" wholes in the lid and see if that helps the overheating ...is it sitting near any other heat sources or is anything on top of it?

F3/S are good cheap boxes.You can get them for around ?50. I have sold many.No problems

You can get F3s for a lot less than that.

Try sticking a cheap usb cooling fan under the box:
