I'm testing the OrangePi+ and OrangePi+2 for review.
I noticed my OPi+ was running a lot cooler than my OPi+2.
Reason is difference in kernel. Just tried 5.8.5 on the OPi+ and it also ran as hot as the OPi+2.
OPi+ with kernel 4.19.62 vs OPi+/OPi+2 with kernel 5.8.5
No fan idle OPi+ 50C
No fan maxed OPi+ Throttle at 75C to 1.3Ghz at 80C to 1.2Ghz doesn't go higher than 80C
Fan idle OPi+ 27C
Fan maxed OPi+ 54C
No fan idle OPi+2 58C
No fan maxed
