    My BB60c seems to get up to 47 degrees C under normal usage. Way too hot to hold. Has anyone found a safe cover/case that will allow the unit to be held without contributing to overheating? I’m trying to rig this unit to a convertible laptop for a portable application.

    James,
    If you rig it up such that the CPU fan blows across it, this may help keep it cool. It needs to dissipate about 6 watts, so if you insulate it too much the internal temperature will rise further. Some customers have mounted it to a metal plate, which can conduct heat away from the BB60C and provide more square inches for cooling…
