I really like the 380 too, but is it really supposed to
run that hot?
After an
hour or so, the case is so hot, it burns!
I suspect the Topcat (6-bitplane) card to be the prime suspect.
No, it shouldn't be that hot. I have a topcat too plus 64MB, and everything
is crammed in a single-story enclosure (380's tend to be found in
cases with the expansion box), and it runs just warm to the touch. Check
the fans and look for dustbunnies clogging the circulation.
