Why do people still try to judge the temps like that?
Your body just isn't meant for it. Laser thermometers are like 20$ on amazon.
Most electronics work fine up to 100c, if you touched something that was 100c you would receive burns on your hands immediately, and you would think that it was overheating, while it was actually fine, but now you need to go to the hospital.
Judging by the fact that you were able to hold it for 10 secs, it was probably 50-60C, which is totally fine, i don't see a reason for it to need extra cooling.
