What I've gathered so far, and you can find out too if you do some online reading, that most of the time the culprit is the memory card and not whether your FW is US or EU based. Most of the "overheat comparison" tests on YT don't even mention what memory card they're using. I think the real test would be is to use the same memory card in 3 or more of the SAME cameras. Say you have have five Osmo Action 4 cameras.
1. Put the memory card into camera 1. Run the test.
2. Remove the memory card from camera 1 and put it in camera 2. Run the test.
3. Repeat in all cameras.
Ideally, you should get very close results in each camera because you used the exact same memory card. If one of the results is substantially different, then you know it's an issue with the camera (possibly battery).
"There are people getting 1h+ recording and there are some only getting ~25min. Guess where the youtubers come from."
I dunno. Where? I'm in the EU and although I only did a heat test once with my OA3, I got over 1 hour recording on 4k 30 (I believe it was 30fps). The camera didn't overheat. The battery died. The camera wasn't even hot. It was warm but not hot by any means.
You did not say anything about whether your camera overheats or not. If your camera doesn't even overheat, why even bother with the FW? If it does, i'd try other memory cards first.
