I did some testing with PI 3 temperatures with and without a heatsink: &lt;a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.moreware.org/wp/blog/2019/08/08/geeekpi-extreme-cooling-fan-kit-for-raspberrypi-3/" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.moreware.org/wp/blog/2019/08/08/geeekpi-extreme-cooling-fan-kit-for-raspberrypi-3/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As you can see, when the PI (no matter wether 3 or 4) is under stress, it starts throttling (i.e. its working frequency diminishes). A heatsink (and/or a fan) is what you should use to get your PI cool and responsive: &lt;a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.moreware.org/wp/blog/2019/07/21/raspberry-pi-4-nuovi-sistemi-di-raffreddamento/" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.moreware.org/wp/blog/2019/07/21/raspberry-pi-4-nuovi-sistemi-di-raffreddamento/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can also find some interesting system parameters (like temperature or frequency on different cores) from your Raspy using a shell script: &lt;a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.moreware.org/wp/blog/2019/08/02/linux-controllo-live-dei-parametri-di-utilizzo/" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.moreware.org/wp/blog/2019/08/02/linux-controllo-live-dei-parametri-di-utilizzo/&lt;/a&gt; BTW, this one works on ALL Linux systems, not only on Raspies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HTH &lt;span&gt;[View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-0fb69ae6-0216-4f50-b39c-28aba0513620/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=7797&amp;AppID=86&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Raspi 4 CPU Temperature</title><link>https://community.element14.com/products/raspberry-pi/b/blog/posts/raspi-4-cpu-temperature</link><pubDate>Wed, 18 Sep 2019 13:35:55 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:0fb69ae6-0216-4f50-b39c-28aba0513620</guid><dc:creator>dougw</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;I am doing some temperature tests on the Raspberry Pi 4 as well - with a heat sink.
