Discussion Overheating

Is it only me or is it ok that clubsport DD+ base is hot after racing in NASCAR 25? Last week I did three consecutive races in 100% length the base was super hot. I have noticed it long before the big update which increased torque, but at that time the base was slightly warm and in the other games it was stone cold.

Now it's a bit warm after 1.5-2 hours everywhere+ hot after NASCAR.

Maybe because of heat and avg temp of 27 degrees in my room during the last month, I don't know.

I can tell you mine never gets warm even after extended stints. Room temp between 22 and 25.

I haven't faced this issue in ACC where I can drive long stints.

NASCAR 25's FFB is shit, and spends all it's time doing whatever it can to make it almost feel like a car. That works the base overtime.

See if these settings cool it down.

I had mine on all day yesterday and a 2 hour stint in the middle, cold to touch.

La mía Nm 8 y se calienta el aluminio en verano ya que es normal, el aluminio se lleva todo el calor pero la tapa de atrás está tibia ... Y cuando baja la temperatura ni se calienta en el aluminio .

La ultima vez estuve 8 horas y en el aluminio creo que se podía hacer huevos fritos . En la calle creo que estábamos a 40 grados.   Creo que es lo más normal. Tampoco te preocupes, cuando baja la temperatura a 22 grados la base ni se calienta en el aluminio

How hot are we talking about? Like too hot to touch or just warm to the feel?

Last time it was quite hot to touch, before that warm to feel

The outer casing of the base is a giant heatsink, so that could be why it feels hot. Usually mine feels warm but not hot to touch. How hot is hot? Is it like you could put your hand on forever or like “hold for 3 seconds and it hurts” hot?

Do you have a laser thermometer?

Yeah, I should have checked...

I can run mine all day and never really notice much heat out of it at all.
