Here is my hardware/software setup:
- Model 4B with 4GB of RAM.
- Official 5V power supply (North American socket)
- Official case with provided heatsinks
- Ubuntu 20.04 (Most recent LTS, came out April 2020)
When I log into my machine remotely, I am greeted with this disturbing output (notice temperature):
Welcome to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (GNU/Linux 5.4.0-1008-raspi aarch64)
System load: 0.06
Usage of /: 31.0% of 14.29GB
Memory usage: 11%
Swap usage: 0%
Temperature: 75.0 C
Processes: 186
Users logged in: 0
I am running no processes other than those which are started at boot time, not even a graphical environment, and yet I am seeing (and feeling) insane temperatures.
So my question is, is this an anomaly, or are these CPU temps the price you have to pay for the latest model?
