![]() ![]() Therefore, the processor on the Pi board heats up and gets throttled down to an extremely inferior level of performance, once it literally reaches a temperature of an alarming degree. The case is built out of plastic - a poor conductor of heat (simple old school physics), and hence is unable to dissipate it effectively throughout the case and out of the Pi board. Thermal throttling in simple terms, is a reduction in the performance of your Pi processor (CPU) so that the temperature does not exceed extremely high temperatures (such as 80 ☌) and cause damage. The Official Raspberry Pi 4 Case is a Heat Monster! If I got the case and plan to use it for long-term purpose, why would I want to keep the case lid open all the time?Īnd why is something like this happening? It’s all because of a very poor design of the official Raspberry Pi case. This, obviously, still isn’t also quite acceptable. The temperature dropped to only around 67 ☌ on idle - Can you believe that? Even after I double-checked after a while with a reboot. I could hardly use it until I removed the top white cover of the case. On idle, this hot vanilla and strawberry cake would never go less than 75☌. I was on Ubuntu with all firmware updates that are apparently supposed to fix heating issues. After the first boot, my Raspberry Pi 4 (8 GB RAM version) mounted inside the Official Raspberry Pi 4 case, would shoot to 80 ☌ when the unattended upgrades kicked in.
