4100 Max - CPU and Temps
-
I just put my new 4100 Max into production (at home) and the temps are running at 50c, CPU usage fluctuates from 30-99% a lot. I'm getting the CPU usage from the graph on the front page. The unit is in a cooler basement.
I have 4 VLANs with light traffic, other than an NVR that as two cameras that are constantly recording. I'm running WireGuard (no connections right now) and pfBlockerNG.
Switch Port 24 has all VLANs tagged and 24 uplinks to LAN1 on the 4100.

That seems about right. Here's a test 4100 I have, you can see it's running slightly hotter but is mostly idle. It's stacked with some other test devices though. (don't do that!

OK- Wasn't sure as 50 seems high, is that just the norm for Atom CPUs? I don't notice any slowness. -
Yes, that's well inside the expected range for passive cooling. No problem there I can see.
-
@stephenw10 Ah, passive cooling- I should have thought of that- I knew that there was no fan but just forgot to consider that. Thanks again,
-
@creationguy My new 6100 was holding at 50.0°C+ until I put a fan in front of it and now's it's happy at 27.0°C. The heat sink could use a little airflow to stay cool. It's hot to the touch without any air movement, but it doesn't appear to impact the performance either way.

@creationguy Temps are what i have as well. Mine was in an open rack in an open basement and i would get around 53. I have the 6100 and the temps are the exact same.
