Actually I can't make it cooler. I mounted big heatsink (taken from PC motherboard). Still temperature exceedes 80 °C. The only difference it takes a bit longer time to reach almost 90 °C. It overheats not while watching movies, but rather while listening music, I guess cpu usage is higher in that case. I removed top cover from case but it didn't help too much. Room temperature is ~25 °C
There is no any overheat when running Debian (not armbian, official debian image), but performance seems to be reduced.
Overall - I guess, on highest cpu usage (100% for all cores) I would burn hardware. Note that temperature reaches 90 °C and cpu usage is not higher than 25%. What will happen on 100%? Will we see some smoke? I suggest to perform some stress test (is there any for openelec?). Temperatures like this are dangerous
