The Joggler has a terrible heat sink. It is plastic; no, I’m not kidding you. There is a metal stand at the back that the thermal transfer pad connects to, but even that is too little, too late. It’s enough for the openpeak main uses running a cut-down linux and flash UI, but hardly enough to run a full ubuntu stack on. Thermal throttling isn’t fun, so steps have to be taken to mitigate that.
