I just wanted to check if it is suggested to use a heat sink/fan for my Pine64.
I was using my Pine64 for about 2 hours last night to watch some videos in Kodi and after that, just out of curiosity, I touched the A64 chip and it was super hot, I did not measure the temperature but i felt it was hot enough to melt the circuit if i watch videos for a longer duration.
Specifics:-
Pine 64 - 2GB
OS - Android, 04/28/2016 image flashed using Phoenix card.
Outside temp - 21 degree Celsius
Other - No overclocking
