I am using Gecko's on an aluminum plate.
the heat rise from the Gecko is not excessive as it is a switching

Also, I wired my steppers for series and the motor temp is way down.
Check the ratings of the drivers and motors and measure how your
stuff is running. it may be well within the expected limits even if
you are hotter than a stolen tamale !
