Does Your Procede Box Get Hot?

tegoblue335i · 08-02-2011, 05:21 PM

So I was uninstalling my procede yesterday right after driving the car. As i grabbed the actual silver computer box I noticed that it was very hot.

I initially thought it was due to the whole engine bay being hot, but as I touched around other parts of the ECU box I noticed nothing else was nearly as hot to the touch.

My question is, is this normal? Do you guys ever experience this?

Totally normal. It gets heatsoaked by the heat in the engine compartment. The board itself also generates some heat which transfers to the metal enclosure.
