[Q] Max CPU temperature?

---

Anyone have a good estimate of what the max safe temperature for the armv6 cpu is? I have setCPU configured to throttle back at 46 degrees, but could that limit be safely set higher?

Curious about this too, I have mine at the default of 50 °C

What I was able to find out in the past was that a mobile phone cpu could safely reach up to 80-90°C. The motherboard and/or components on the motherboard can start to fail around 65-70°C. And for a lithium-ion battery it's best to keep the temp under 50°C for longevity, 60°C is absolutely going to affect battery life. I was never able to find anything specifically on the armv6 or where exactly the temp sensor is on the Aria. I have setCPU configured to throttle back at 46°C, and I have the charging profile throttled back because of the heat generated when charging.

Just remember that the temps being monitored are the battery temps. The aria doesn't have the ability to measure actual cpu temps.

Right, so the CPU could probably take higher, but it's the battery that's the limiting factor.

I think I'll keep the profile as it is now, by the time the battery hits 46 that's hot enough. Don't need my Aria bursting into flames from thermal runaway.

Thanks for the info
