After updating my CPU Temps have gone through the roof. Before they averaged 60-65C with spike to 78-80C but now each core averaging 78-85C and spicing up to 92C. Anyone else experiencing high temps?
Nope, not a twitch in either of a J3160 or an i7-8550; low fifties.
Different packages I guess.
I have thought about the same thing...maybe a plugin that was affected by the update. This is the plugins currently running and installed on the FW. But I have not found the culprit that would have had such a drastic change in processor temp from before.
Happened to me too. Not sure if it is related but in my case it was unbound process which went crazy for some reason. I was unable to restart the service so I ended up powering down the Mini PC instead.
For i7-10510U CPU check if powerd is running - should be by default - and disable it

These tunables:
performance_cx_lowest=Cmax
economy_cx_lowest=Cmax
gave me a 5 degrees Celsius reduction in CPU temperature.

Yep it seemed to be Unbound. I have completely disabled it and it now is back to where it should be with all the other services running....It is weird that it would start doing this now, but I have other DNS servers on my network so not a major issue. Thank you...
I've seen Unbound go stupid like this many times, and the bigger your total block list entries, the more chance of it happening. If you are using other systems for DNS, you might try removing all blocklists in Unbound and then try starting it again.
