Hyper 64 runs very hot.

Just got a H64 rev 2 today, the large heatsink and the metal plate under where the cart sits get very hot, does everyone's H64 do this, I know the heatsink is designed to disperse heat. but I am concerned about the area under the cart, it does not get as hot as the 'sink, but after a few hours play it gets very warm indeed.

Could this be caused by the voltage being a little too low?

Mine gets hot/very warm after being on for over an hour or so.

I wouldn't worry about it, remember these boards aren't supposed to be exposed.

As far as voltage, the hyper seems a bit more accomadating than the MVS in my experience.

Be sure to have close to +5 and +12 and you'll be fine.
