    MK808 heat issues

    using mk808 and finless 1.5a.
    i have stumbled on an issue with overheating,
    when using navix in xbmc,when i dl the file instead of streaming,
    it heats up the unit very hot,almost too hot to touch,
    this is saving the file to usb or micro sd,have not tried dl to unit itself.
    it has shut itself down due to heat,
    it dosent seem to get hot with any other uses,
    will try to save a file to mk808 and see if it heats up too,
    just figured i would tell you guys and gals.

    You can add some cooling fans or underclock it.

    I made a case w/ 2 80MM fans powered by the USB hub. You can find a fan or two in an older computer,old electronics, or local pc shop for a few bucks & some usb cables/wires (Soldering required- Cables) also I added a switch to turn everything off. ( Took apart an old External HDD enclosure, and used the switch )

    Or you can buy a usb powered fan for cheap online.
