Its why there is a dirty great Heat Sink packaged with the C2.
I've run mine for at least 6 months with out a fan, Overclocked.
With Kodi Jarvis - Software decoding mpeg2 and Software Deinterlacing used to really give the CPU's a workout and raise temps with no ill effects.
Running Kodi Krypton and Hardware Video decoding everything more efficiently, puts very little stress on the heat generating CPU's these days anyway.
There are CPU Governor idle routines, and thermal throttling routines built into the Kernel too.
The C2 is more efficient than the older Tech in the SoC of the RPi's because it can hardware decode virtually everything.
