Normal operating temperatures?

Wanted to check and see what the normal operating temperatures of other people GBZ is? When mine gets hot, it has a tendency to become slightly unreliable, specifically when using the right D-pad and the "A" button. These two tend to fail first then it moves inwards. Ended up ripping everything out of my first one (along with a lot of hot glue) and cut back on the glue to open up more space inside for cooling. Now it will last a little longer, but still having issues. Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Well, I took the whole thing apart, again, and this time looked specifically at the button connections, there were about 4... being held in place by hot glue. I guess when the glue warmed up, the connections could move a little. Anyway, please ignore the post as my shoddy soldering was to blame.

Woot. Glad it was an easy fix.
