I let My RIoT run about 30 minutes running preloaded Android OS during the time of the test i was surfing the internet and switching between screens.

The processor got up to 101 Deg F - 38.3 Deg C

The memory and everything else 99 Deg F - 37.2 Deg C

Ambient temp was 75.5 Deg F - 24.1 Deg C

I don´t have something to measure the power input of the board that precisely.

(Only have a wall wart that measures in 1 watt steps and it shows constantly 1 watts)

But I can confirm that it can get pretty warm. Not hot but warm.

I had some heatsinks from an old graphics card laying around and put them on the board.

And you now can really tell how much warmth it´s producing from the heatsinks itself.
