[arm-allstar] CPU Temp

[Doug Crompton]

David,

  120F is not a seriously bad CPU temperature. That is 48C and well within
tolerance. It would show green in the cpu_stats. So you should be OK. I
would say most Pi CPU's without fans could run in that range and certainly
those without heat sinks. It is always a good idea to keep things as cool
as possible but the loss of a Pi if it were to come to that is not a big
cash outlay. Have a spare on hand if it is a critical application.

I was curious that you  said the environment was 125F and the Pi measured
120F. It would seem that if you are pushing around 125F air the CPU could
not be cooler. Perhaps you should ventilate the area better. Was it that
hot outside?
