"Beagle Bone Box" heat dissipation?

Postby oldprogrammer » Sat Aug 11, 2012 12:50 pm

My first Bone project will be primarily software only (with a USB device attached). I've purchased a Bone Box for it, but - being sealed and plastic - I'm wondering if that will allow enough heat dissipation to safely run the board 24x7 in a household environment (figure around 75 degree F).

I might be able to throttle down the processor to 500 MHz to help, but I'm not certain about that yet.

its not sealed, and the bone does not get hot. its a fanless chip designed for this type of enclosure and use
