This is al so described in the Asgard 2 FAQ, as well:

"So, this thing runs damn hot, like Asgard?
If by “damn hot” you mean 40-45 degrees C, then yes."
Stephen, just out of curiosity, I got my IR laser thermometer out and it measures 49 degrees C (120F) at the top where I assume the MOSFETs are mounted in the chassis. Definitely HOT but I like it. The room is noticeably warmer from this little guy whippin' up some HOT JAZZ in my headphones. Like I said, with the winter coming up, this little guy will keep me and my cat, who likes to be by my side late at night, nice and warm.
