odroid hc2 overheating

Armbianmonitor:

Hi!

 

my nextcloud instance on an odroid hc2 running armbian has been running stable and smoothly for several months now. Thanks Igor and the whole armbian team!

 

I have one question though:

 

Task: I convert videos with ffmpeg to reduce file size and optimize them for streaming

 

observed behaviour: the CPU is getting very hot! In the evening up to 100 °C (see below), but at noon I have seen temperatures of up to 115 °C! I read somewhere that 110 °C is the critical temperature for the board and the stock hardkernel image has an emergency shutdown implemented. But my board running armbian seems to be negligent of this. On a side note, the CPU frequency reported in armbianmonitor -m is 1800/1300, in htop all 8 cores show 1300 ( .LITTLE)?

 

expected behaviour: shouldn't the CPU be throttled automatically?

 

excerpts from armbianmonitor -m:

My HC1, after exceeding 110, just went out. I'd rather avoid going over 100. With a well-matched kernel has 1500 and 2000 on the BIG.
When all the cores are working intensively, samsung heats up very quickly and is just reaching those 90-100C. Much depends on the ambient temperature and HDD / SSD.
This passive cpu cooling is very inefficient. If you often have a large load, think about a fan.
Also make sure you have scaling_governor on demand.
Mine in the area over 60 starts to go down to 1400/1900 - 1300/1800 and so on ...

You can also check if the cpu touches the surface well, or replace the thermo pad.
