#62986 Hi,
I'm using esp-1 inside a switch box and cpu getting extremely hot.
1. Is there any method to dissipate the heat?
2. Would putting it to light sleep help to cool down a bit?
3. What would happen if keep it running as it is in that temperature? (As of now it is running fine for 2+ days. Not sure for long run it will get fried.)
4. Is there anyway to measure the cpu temperature and turn it off for awhile?

#63040 To make it make sense to talk about it, you would have to specify the whole circuit. Thus, I can only say there something you're wrong.
