box getting very hot

[gibbo74]

hi ive got a m8 that lives in malta and has just got a tm600 and it gets very hot ,mine in the uk is fine no over heatinf probs
he wants to know is it cos he lives in a hot country or is there a fault
and to send it back to the uk will cost 40 quid each way

does he have anything on top of it..??

most people who complain of overheating electrical items generally have the air vents blocked up with other items on top or have their items in a cabinet behind closed doors..

no free airflow over the box will equal overheating..

i asked him that but says its got plenty of free space

[.: JaCkPoT :.]

His room temperature will be hotter than ours. That could be why.

tell him to buy a Laptop cooler like the one below.. it gets its power from the usb port..

The box rests on top..
