I worry that I might need heatsink on SoC when running 1GHz... I hope
this thing has proper thermal downscaling or other means of protection.
At 500MHz and under load, it's already too warm... the thing was sitting
on table with SoC side up. The original idea of running it inside
enclosed box doesn't seem so good anymore...
