- Oh? My 33 MHz DX doesn't get hot at all, even after hours of on-time.
- (Hot meaning you can see the logo and numbers burned into your fingertips...

- Chips aren't really designed to work at temps higher than 50-60 degrees C,
- and if it's really hot, you may want to put a heatsink and/or a fan
- on it...
