So.. Today (hot day). Lots of vario beeping... CPU got to 59 degrees.
Is this too hot?

Slope Soaring, FPV, and pretty much anything 'high tech'

Re: How hot is too hot?
I believe the cpu can get up to 150C (this seems to be a standard max temp anyway). I don't think you need to start worrying unless you get over 100C.

Re: How hot is too hot?
The temp of the 3.3V regulator is what matters ...would like to see it stay below 65'C
If the regulator is throwing a lot of heat into the case , the ambient temp inside would rise.
We are hoping that we can find a temp setting , that would show that the regulator is releasing
too much heat, and warming up the CPU in the process..
If you are running a 2S Lipo (8.4V) or less , then heat build up will not be a problem...
