Since updating the firmware to 37.xx.x the highest temp I've seen on screen 1 is 57.85 degrees, even after leaving the goggles powered on for 2hrs 20mins. On the previous firmware I was seeing screen 1 reach 70 degrees in 1hr 10mins. So for me there's a definite significant improvement

Hi Ian, Watching your videos on the goggles X with great interest. Have got the original ones, and they appear OK. I was going to buy the goggles x, but with all these beta inconsistencies, I thought of waiting a while. Please keep us all advised of these beta problems. Thankyou and Cheers.

I got mine in this week, updated to latest 37 firmware and tested with hdmi input mode with PC and Laptop i dont see any issue but with mobile output the goggle display image for a second and behave weird thing like blue lines, green lines and off right display. This happened when i connect to mobile with hdmi In with PC and laptop it display proper image. I couldn't test with other devices and I don't face any heating issue let's see when i use it with vtx

I’m having a separate issue concerning the signal bars appearing to fade really fast even though I’m only 100 m out so I’m not flying as much to see if there is a heat issue. Do you recommend that we request the upgraded heat sink regardless of these developments or Would you recommend we wait until it becomes an issue. I’m not sure if caddx will be offering this free upgrade as time goes on. I look forward to your advice.

@@nicklong9985 Yeah, I agree! And they DO work they just over heat which is not recommended for long use. These things happen. I purchased DJI goggles v1 on release and wasn't able to use them until like 7 months later due to that PC driver situation they had going. Many of us were stuck. So I understand where you are coming from. But again it happens. I also own an Audi Q5 that had a recall for cooling engine parts, and that car was not $500 nor did I ask for my money back. I did what they suggested free of charge ..enjoyed it..kept it moving. But I hear you tho. You paid for a fully functioning device with 0 problems expected. Lol

Summer here. 40 C ( 104 ). Goggles ok but VTX lite cannot cope. It overheats a minute or so into a flight and same in standby ( low power mode). Even with two fans I struggle to use betaflight for more than a minute. They really need to put a physical off switch on the VTX.
