Topic: ADI-2 Pro very hot

Hi,
in these months the temperature in my studio is around 30 degrees
and ADI-2 Pro is very hot, so that it is difficult to touch the case.
Can this heat damage internal components?
It's normal?

Thanks.

It's normal, but you should make sure the unit has space around it and is not sitting on top of another heating unit...

Thanks.
I proceeded to lift the card from the desktop about 5 cm to improve
cooling.
Now it's less hot.

Good idea. I put taller feet on mine so that it has plenty of clearance from other units and I also took the opportunity to raise the front to a nice angle for viewing the display.

Perhaps try a USB-powered fan like this on the side next to the vent:
