Hi Folks,

Would an additional aluminum heatsink assist with dissipating heat from the unit.

Thanks!

  Install apt sensors to check your internal temperature. I had to install my firewalla in a cabinet so I added a small almost silent USB fan to the top. My temps are about 34 deg all around now.

  I don't have any extra heat sinks or fans. It's mounted on the wall in the open.
