Roku Premiere overheats on 4K

I have two Roku Premieres in well ventilated areas.  When set on 1080p it works well; however, if I try to use 4K, it always overheats.  Is there a better Roku device available, or other solution?

    I have had similar issues for some time. I finally solved them by taking off the rubber pad on bottom of the Roku device. The rubber pad causes the heat to build up in the ROKU. I also set my ROKU on a small wire grate to allow air circulation underneath it. I haven't had an overheating message for at least 10 months.
