Continuous usage?

You can leave it on 24/7/365 !

... having said that, I have a heatsink set on my PineA64 board; also I have a 5v miniature brushless 140ma fan free standing about the heatsink over the SoC.  You can monitor the temp with :

cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp

I like to keep the SoC temps in the 40s c ; the Soc will throttle at 80c. With low load a fan is not necessary. With higher loads the fan will be useful for you.

You can see a pic of my early PineA64 (without LED nor switches), at the link.
