What the thread found

• The Teradek Bolt transmitter becomes very hot during normal operation, which is by design since the metal chassis functions as a heat sink to draw heat away from the internal circuit boards.
• In hot or direct sunlight environments, the chassis alone may not provide sufficient cooling, and additional heat dissipation solutions such as adhesive-mounted copper heat sinks attached to the exterior could help reduce operating temperature.

Depends on

• Advice about aftermarket cooling modifications comes from someone who did not own the device at the time of the discussion.
• The effectiveness of external heat sink modifications was not tested or confirmed in the thread.
• Discussion reflects equipment and ambient conditions from 2014.
