Hi TommyBoy,
i don not want the cpu to throttle down, so better keep it colder.
I also wouldn't like my CPU throttling down because of temperature.
The question is, why does it get hot.
if i play music for a long time, my large heatsinks gets very hot,
My RP3 is playing music the last 12 hours and is still not very hot.
- Code: Select all
echo GPU $(/opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_temp)
GPU temp=42.2'C
Your CPU will only get hot when it is under heavy load.
You should check the reason for this.

Here you can see the processor load while playing a 24bit 192kHz file.
This is with the local browser activated (displaying Rune UI on a 7" TFT).
This should be an easy task for your device.
