I am quite new user here and I would like to ask you for some advise. I have some problems with %CPU and temperature (70-75C)<br />
Platform: RPi 3B+<br />
Electron: v3.1.13<br />
MM: v2.10.1<br />
Cooling: only Al heat sink (no fan)</p>
<p dir="auto">Please find below nmon screenshots:<br />

<img src="undefined" alt="0_1584115660945_memo.jpg" class="img-markdown  img-fluid" /></p>
<p dir="auto">Do you have any ideas how can I solve my problem. I checked previous discussions but information there is quite old:<br />

<p dir="auto">I hope you have some solutions for those problems;)</p>

<pre><code>  setInterval(function() {

<p dir="auto">So, value should be given in minutes in config file. Anyway, I will increase a value. BTW, it is also nice module for weather.</p>

I will change it into 6h… or even longer.<br />
There is written in DarkSky’s Documentation that the value should be given in minutes. I don’t really know how to check whether it is not a mistake in Doc. I will make some testing;)</p>

<p dir="auto">Honestly, I don’t think a 60 minute updateInterval is necessary for WeatherOrNot.</p>
<p dir="auto">DarkSky updateInterval is 60 ms??? (I don’t use that module). If that is miiliseconds it would certainly cause trouble.</p>

<ul>
<li>Weather or Not:<br />
<code>updateInterval: 60 * 60 * 1000,</code><br />

<li>DarkSky:<br />
<code>useAnimatedIcons: false,</code><br />
<code>animateMainIconOnly: false,</code><br />
<code>updateInterval: 60,</code><br />
<code>requestDelay: 1000,</code><br />
<code>updateFadeSpeed: 2000</code></li>
<li>2x Newsfeed:<br />
<code>reloadInterval: 10*60*1000,</code><br />
<code>updateInterval: 15000,</code><br />
<code>animationSpeed: 0</code></li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">and I ended up with:<br />
<a href="https://ibb.co/M2zPyB0"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/j6C39JX/finnnnnnn.jpg" alt="finnnnnnn" /></a><br />
I still need to consider adding fan but increasing intervals and turning off animation helped a lot<br />
Maybe I will play also with some older electrons.</p>
<p dir="auto">Thank you for your reply;)</p>

<p dir="auto">CPU usage and heat have arisen now and again. If you search the forum you’ll find lots to read and perhaps a solution. At times it has been the version of Pi and other times the version of electron.</p>
<p dir="auto">Concerning MMM-WeatherOrNot: There are only 2 things that I can think of that <em>might</em> affect your Pi negatively.</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p dir="auto">An extremely low updateInternal. The default is <code>updateInterval: 10 * 60 * 1000,</code> (10 minutes)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto">The use of the animated icons option.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">I would like to hear from others if they are having the same issue, whether with a low updateInterval or the animated icons.</p>

Here is some more detailed testing:<br />
<a href="https://ibb.co/3WWCxjp"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/0ZZG06C/final.jpg" alt="final" /></a></p>
<p dir="auto">It looks like ‘Weather or Not’ and ‘DarkSky’ forecast cause some problems. I will try to play with update interval.</p>
<p dir="auto">Anyway, like in here: <a href="https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/4684/electron-cpu-usage/138?page=14">old discussion</a>, my %CPU with default modules look a bit higher than the one presented in old post.</p>
<p dir="auto">Do you think that electron version has some influence?<br />
Could someone else present own %CPU with default modules?</p>

I guess too many 3rd party modules ;/ I will try to look for the one that causes problems.</p>
