Quick question:
Is it normal for an S7 to run hotter (~8C) than an S5, given the same operating environment?

Crash

Yes, I would call this normal. The S5 uses ~600 watts, the S7 uses ~1200-1400watts.
Thats twice the heat output from a same size miner. The S7 is then going to be hotter, given the same input/ambient temperature

Hmm.. Should we be worried about this? I'm pretty sold on the S7 and i think it's the phone i'm going to get. I know this sounds funny, but since it's waterproof, can we just wet it to get the temperature down.
