How Hot Does A Dreamcast Actually Get with A GDEMU Drive Fitted?

This time we look how hot does a Sega Dreamcast power supply get. I'm testing both a standard UK/European Dreamcast with its original GD drive fitted and the other that I modified last year that uses a GDEmu drive. It has been said that the GDEmu makes the dreamcast run hotter but with the original drive fitted, it still seems to get pretty hot to.
Using a Testo 872 thermo-imaging camera as well as a Draper infrared thermometer gun to see how the temperatures compare between the two devices.

This video has been reuploaded as the sound was terrible in parts but has now been fixed.
