Overheating has been the biggest problem for the Daydream VR platform. No matter which phone you got after at least 30 minutes you had to stop playing. If you also wanted to stream your VR experience using Chromecast, your phone would even overheat sooner.

There are several hacks that would help you extend playing time and I have shown you those here on Daydream District before. Using aluminum foil or cooling packs does help. However, Reddit user Jason has sent me a custom made heatsink and I can only say: THAT'S IT! NO MORE OVERHEATING FOR ME! In this live show I will talk about Jason's heatsink. You can get it here:
