I got a Raspberry Pi 4 and naively thought that because it was ARM it used little power and didn't need fans. In a few weeks the board melted and now won't turn on. Was only running a few programs.

How did the cpu throttling not kick-in and prevent this from happening? Mine gets hot and gets slow. It does not melt.

I just got a Pi 4 and for a year now I've known it gets very very hot. I ordered this heatsink case for it https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VWM4J4L/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VWM4J4L/ref=ppx_yo_dt... Should solve the problem. :)
