Pi 5 8 GB with heatsink instead of a fan. Used for server experiments that will need bursts of maximum speed, not continuously running hot. Stays cool. Is kool. ![:D]( "Very Happy")
Testing with externally powered monitor and keyboard for reconfiguration. Still stays cool.
Yesterday I plugged in a USB powered monitor drawing 8 watts from a USB 3 port. This is for a luggable Pi in a slim case project. It means I can lug just one power block instead of two.
Left it idle at the desktop screen. Nothing running. On return, the whole board was hot. CPU and GPU at 68°. The USB 3 socket was worryingly warm, a first ever on any computer. The motherboard base was warmer than a motherboard should be. I raised the board up to get airflow underneath.
Is this normal when using lots of USB power?
