The thick layers silicon rubber obviously do something but leaving them out makes a difference in temperature. A heatsink glued directly to the CPU and RAM just works better.
edit 22 januari: This morning I tested again and with 20 degrees ambient I see the Hub stabilising at 47.6 degrees when playing back a 1080p H265 file. This is a very significant difference with the original situation (it hoovered between 79 and 98 degrees because of thermal management) which gives these modifications the "ultimate" status ;-) I saw 566 mb free RAM and not even 50% CPU load peak shared over 4 cores. While playing quite heavy H265 material and the system menu opened the absolute maximum I noted down was 58 degrees max.
