OrangePiZero Plus - Temperature too high

lollapalooza

Hello all,
I've bought an OrangePi Zero Plus to use it as DNS/DHCP server with PiHole, and that's all I need from it.

I have installed an heatsink and blacklisted the Wi-Fi module, but I still see it running with temperatures always around 69-70 C, which I believe is too high.
CPU governor is set to "ondemand", and I see that CPU is running most of the times at the lowest possible frequency.

Also CPU load is always very low... less than 5%.


Any suggestion to reduce the temperature?

Thanks a lot.
