Now that I have gotten my Nano10 up and running, it has been powered for a week straight and working great. I noticed the main chip seems very hot.
I have not measured the exact temp yet, but I can't keep my finger on the chip, I would estimate it must be at least 130F. Is this normal? What is the safe operating temp?
I had a few copper ram heat sinks, so I put one on the MCU chip. The sticker did not come off easily, so I left most of it on. I know it is not the best thermal interface, but with copper heat sink is getting very hot, so it is pulling heat out of the chip. I think it dropped the temp a fair bit, but it is still over 110F. I will try and get a real temp measurement soon. I have it inside of a plastic enclosure, of about 50 cubic inches. The air inside does not seem warm when I open the lid, and I left the box open for a while, and it did not seem to lower the chip temp. Should I add vent holes and/or a fan to move air past the board?
