Review on πŸŽ₯ LEADNOVO Audio Video Capture Card: HDMI USB3.0 4K 1080P 60fps - Reliable Portable Video Converter for Game Streaming, Live Broadcasts, Video Recording (Black) by Jeff Figueroa

Very Good Budget Snap-On Capture Card

This card is amazing value. For just $70, you get Full HD 1080p 60fps video from any console (even retro if you have an HDMI adapter). I notice that the colors are a bit more saturated than in the real picture, but close enough that it doesn't matter. The only complaint I have is how hot this thing gets. It won't burn you or anything, but when it does it gets really warm and I'm not sure how long it will stay that hot, especially if you use it a lot. This is due to the lack of cooling; There are no fans or heatsinks on the internal chips inside. Luckily, it's easy to disassemble so you can mount low-profile Raspberry Pi heatsinks on top of the chips inside and reassemble everything to get passive cooling that handles some of the heat. If anyone is looking into this I would recommend looking at Justin Bay's review of how he did it and showing what chips he installed them on and including a link to those heatsinks in the review description.
