       So i got my Rpi4b today. All exited to set it up as my own 2nd computer as a project. It runs idle at 65c, running x with just xterm rises it to 72c. Room temperature is 21c. Everything is upgraded and without any case. I feel so ripped off and i am returning this piece of garbage of a SOC. #rpi #raspberry #pi

       @jex Agreed. No CPU should run at these temperatures in idle mode, especially on ARM. They went from the "DYI" marketing to "4K and runs fast for a low cost".There are probably better alternatives.

       @umbr3lla bought it mainly for the 4k support. Well I use it on a 1440p monitor but it seems to kill the soc with heat. No idea how they are able to run 2x 4k with a workload without throttling

       @jex Displaying is not that resources consuming, tbf. How does it handle video decoding ?It probably won't resolve the issue that much, but have you considered a small heatsink ?

       @umbr3lla would only delay the heat settling. You'd need a big heatsink or active cooling. Neither is what I want out of a soc.

       @jex Since that's the case even in idle, yeah... Understandable.
