Extreme heat on both Roku devices

Both of my Roku Devices get extremely hot and if I am watching for long hours it will freeze the screen.

      My roku streaming stick overheats often. I've come to just ignore the warnings. The sound gets out of sync with the picture. It's on the free roku 4 inch extension dongle.

      Model 3800x, s/n YF00C4561829, device id  CT305C561829

      It's over one year old. Do I need to replace it with the express 4k+? Will that model not overheat?
