  • Throttling RPi4 CPU to Avoid Overheating

    From MPJ =?utf-8?Q?Gr=C3=A9goire?=@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jul 27 23:30:02 2024
    Hello,

    I have a RaspberryPi 4, running Debian Stable. From time to time, the
    system overheats under load and shuts down. Is there software I could
    run or a setting I could configure that would throttle back the CPU to
    keep the temperature under (say) 85°C?

    Thanks very much for supporting Raspberry Pi computers.

    Sincerely,

    Hello again,

    I believe I have a solution. First I installed temp-throttle.sh from http://seperohacker.blogspot.com/2012/10/linux-keep-your-cpu-cool-with-frequency.html?m=1 .
    Thermal shutdowns became rarer, but to eliminate them completely, I
    also bought an aluminum case.

    Sincerely,
