I'm new to all this but today I upgraded my X5iii with the Purist 1.2.4 and the v.v32 kernel (running at 1416) but wow did it get hot when Iwas scanning for music/charging! (this thing needs a heatsink!). So the SD Cards came out and it went in the fridge for 5 minutes and now I'm back with the stock FiiO 1.2.1 firmware (aand upgrading to 1.2.5 via the OTA). Any thoughts, or suggestions, as to what might be wrong before I try again?
FYI I followed these instruction :https://www.head-fi.org/threads/fii...-dual-card-slot.828402/page-965#post-14769688 (though the link to SuperSu is broken)
Well I can only say that it also maybe depends on your player. I was unfortunate that I had a 'inferior' player which I also couldn't overclock to 1.7GHz (more info: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/fii...dual-card-slot.828402/page-1000#post-14924078). It became extremely hot when connected to a charger or when trying to change firmwares etc. Sold this player and returned to my trusty X5 II. After a few months I bought a new X5 III and this time it was not a problem to overclock and it also didn't become very hot. And it feels like a complete different player.
