Anyone else having this issue? I fly slow cinematic stuff so I'm sure the airflow over the GEPRC naked hero 8 case is not as good as it could be. I was thinking about putting some thermal paste on there. I'm getting 7 minute flight times on my Squirt and my recordings are cutting out around 5min 30sec

i believe the issue might be somewhere else, hoover does stillprovide enough airflow.
thermal paste can only help if the attached material can absorb heat, the casing might be plastic and wont wokr like that.

maybe a try with another bec could help?

Thermal paste is no good without a heatsink.

If you are recording at 4k then try lowering it down to 2.7k or even 1080p to see if it runs cooler.
