If the current-control voltage (as measured at the test points X, Y, Z & A) is the same, then all motors should heat the same.

I have 305s and they will get very warm (too hot to hold for more than a second-or-two), but they are all the same ‘hot’.

Are you using the power reduction feature on just some of the motors (J4 removed in some of the 2×4 headers)?
