For the people who have received the new TF536 cards, are the CLPD chips getting hot to touch? Someone reported that the chip is getting very hot.

Just asking here to see if its just 1 or 2 people, or a whole lot that are doing it?

Cheers,
Matt.
 
AllenPPC I am interested in a second unit without the relocate board. The card is fantastic.

Hi, i got my tf536 a couple of weeks ago and have been doing a lot of testing and stuff, in my case the CPLD gets barely hot, maybe it's related to the firmware version? i read something about that on exxos forum.

The CPLD on mine does seem to get quite hot, yes, so I've put a heatsink on it. I'm just guessing here, but it seems to get hotter when the IDE is in use for long periods and I have had a couple of crashes when it's doing something intensive with the HD. The CPU on the other hand barely seems to break a sweat.
