Although you can run it without a fan (I have been for some time now
with one board) it does get very hot. I don't have any temperature
numbers and I haven't been doing GPU accelerated video yet - I suspect
it may be a little too hot if you do.

=========================================

Perhaps other relevant questions here are:

Can additional heatsinks be bolted on?

Can larger quieter fans be utilised?

What sort of fan control is available on the board?  (Temperature sensitive or full on?)
