      @Mykle1 said in System Temperature:

      There has been considerable discussion on the temperature question. Heat is the enemy but if I remember correctly the Pi is stable up to 80°C, give or take a few degrees.

      I agree and think below 60-70°C you don’t have to worry about a thing.
      From 80°C on there is a throttling function integrated.

      I had the early Raspberry Pi4 running idle at 90°C.
      That was scary.

        Thanks for the info!

        That gives me piece of mind. I was worried about overloading it but I’m quite far from doing anything like that now with the case.

        Out of interest, did it affect the performance at 90°C?

          I didn’t check. I didn’t do anything with it, had only raspbian installed.

          I read only later that you can read out performance data.
          With a firmware upgrade it got much better, now running at around 60-70°C. The Pi4 is quite warm compared to the earlier models

            Over 90 RPI will be slow or halted or rebooted.
            And always be careful of a fire accident, your magic mirror might be assembled with many flammable materials - wood, paper, plastic, and dust.

              81 up is when it starts to throttle but can still clock full speed at 81 for a couple of seconds when I was bench testing my Pi4
