@norayr thanks for the tip! This is an ARM device, and I have no idea where the BIOS is. :p I see that at 100% CPU load, it isn't reaching 80°C, so it seems this feature is built-in and works regardless.

I think for ARM it is absolutely OK

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

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.
