        More than normal? It can be dependent on the wifi environment but here, where it's very busy, I see errors in the wifi log all the time.

          @stephenw10 I have a bunch of errors on the stats page but that just seems like traffic errors.

            Adding a heatsink is unlikely to hurt. If it's repeatable a fan would prove it.

                  I mean to prove it's an overheating issue just point a fan at it. Could even just be a desk fan. It's designed to be passively cooled so any additional cooling will reduce temps a lot.

                    I am now getting 29C on the SSD and it use to start up at 36C that was amazing to see.

                    The wireless card now has my heat sink also. It’s got a lot going on inside this guy. Summer is coming up.
