Electron CPU usage

@Mykle1 Lets see…
Do (in SSH): cat /proc/cpuinfo

Paste the result from hardware and revision… :)

Hardware        : BCM2835
Revision        : a02082

I think it’s the “last” revision that is important.

Pi 3 Model B	1GB	a02082 (Sony, UK)
Pi 3 Model B	1GB	a22082 (Embest, China)

More info about revisions…

Mine is from UK it seams. :)

Here it is. It appears that mine is also from the UK. How about the other info? Does it match up to yours?

@Snille

The only difference I see:

My hardware = BCM2709
Your hardware = BCM2835

I’m curious to see @wtidwell results

I’ll do this as soon as I can, I’m still not home from the day yet but I’ll get to it later this evening.
Thank you everyone for your help!

My hardware is also BCM2835 revision a02082 , just like Snille. I have another micro SD I think floating around somewhere in my house, I’ll try and do a clean install of rapsian stretch lite on it tomorrow and use the auto install script on that and see how that goes. Fingers crossed I just got a crappy SD card or something.

How did you make out? I’ve been thinking about this issue since you started the topic. I did quite a bit of googling and there are a number of instances where people had trouble (not with MM) with performance, and heat. In many cases, those people determined that their Pi’s were faulty, after much time, frustration and troubleshooting. In those cases, they had their Pi’s replaced and the problem was solved.

I hope the new SD solves your problem but I have my doubts about that. Please keep me informed and good luck.

Well I ordered a new pi 3 on Amazon and did a fresh install it’s the same thing all over again. Every time the text changes on magic mirror it maxes out my cpu. And it’s starting to overheat as well and I didn’t even change any overclock settings.

Quite infuriating honestly. I don’t know what I’ll try next.

Oh man, that sucks. I’m sorry to hear that. I’m at a lost here. Really, there is no logical reason for that to happen

@Mykle1
My last ditch effort is to try a new SD card. The card it came with is a SanDisk 32gb card and it’s just a plain black card and I have this otherone which is a SanDisk ultra 32gb card so maybe that does something.
