ps, i didn't scale down the cpu by using bios, and arm devices don't have bios usually. i did it by linux means.

doas cpupower frequency-set -g powersave
doas cpupower set -b 15
doas cpupower frequency-set -u 2000Mhz

and no, i keep my intel cpu at about 35-45 celsius so arm should bu even cooler.

👻 ps:

In your opinion, is 70°C too high for a CPU? I'm running an ARM server (on my router) and won't migrate to more powerful hardware since it would be noisy. Perhaps I can optimize the processes by prioritizing which ones to shut down... but I won't also hibernate some useful services such as radio retransmitter.
