Hardware and Performance / N5105 generic box, very high temperature
« on: August 08, 2023, 05:32:56 pm »
I am running opnsense on the n5105 generic box which I bought on aliexpress.
It was working fine with my two ftth, 1gb and 2.5gb respectively until I accidentally noticed that cpu temperature was very high at 81 celcius degrees. I shut it down immediately.
I have a friend who also owns a box with similar hardware and he is running vyos.
The cpu temperature is around 65 celcius according to him.
I didn't feel the cpu was throttled due to overheating, but I did notice the case was very hot.
Is there any way I can reduce the cpu temperature? I don't want to replace it or change to other os, since it was working fine.
