Really..... mine gets pretty warm, but I can always put it on my lap. (although
it can get uncomfortable)
Is it possible to take a reading on actually how warm it is? The heat dissipation
of a chip is pretty well known (within reason) so if there is a big difference there
could be a more serious problem. Too hot to touch is definately too hot. (I mean;
how can you use the bloody thing if you can't pick it up?)
