pinebook pro overheats and switches off when streaming

[Arwen]

I put more thermopads, see the picture attached, it partially resolved the problem. It still overheats, but less. 
Hopefully the problem will be resolved in the next generation of pinebooks.

Interesting.

I may do something similar. Plus, add a pad for the WiFi chip which others say can get flaky after heavy use, (which implies the chip getting hot).

Looking at the thermal pads, there is another type that transfers heat much better. It's electrically conductive, which can be a problem. I wonder if  the metal shield needs to be electrically isolated. Or if it can be connected to the bottom plate with electricaly conductive thermal pads?
