With a new and more powerful CPU and GPU, means that the Pi 4 requires more electrical power making it one of the most power-hungry SBC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1030\" height=\"494\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.seeedstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-186-1030x494.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-186-1030x494.png 1030w, https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-186-300x144.png 300w, https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-186-768x369.png 768w, https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-186.png 1119w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>With this, the Raspberry Pi 4 can run up to insane temperatures of 80\u00b0C where the CPU will then be throttled to reduce the temperature. If the temperature goes up beyond 85, the GPU, which now supports dual monitors and 4K resolution, will be throttled as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here shows the thermal imaging of the Raspberry Pi 4 at idle and under a heavy load. As you can see, even at idle, the Pi 4 is running hot with hot spots at the USB controller to the middle right and power-management circuitry to the bottom-left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"625\" height=\"233\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.seeedstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-178.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-178.png 625w, https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-178-300x112.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><figcaption>Ref: <a href=\"https:\/\/magpi.raspberrypi.org\/issues\/88\">MagPi Raspberry Pi Issue 88<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This is definitely not ideal which is why the Raspberry Pi team set out to reduce the Pi 4 power needs which enables it to run considerably cooler. As seen from the graph below, the Pi 4 throttle after just 65 seconds. As the workload runs, the CPU drops from 1.5GHz to a stable 1GHz, then dips as low as 750MHz towards the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"652\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.seeedstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-179.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27503\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-179.png 652w, https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-179-300x154.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 652px) 100vw, 652px\" \/><figcaption>Ref: <a href=\"https:\/\/magpi.raspberrypi.org\/issues\/88\">MagPi Raspberry Pi Issue 88<\/a> <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>So what has happened?

With power-saving tweaks to the system-on-chip voltage without affecting its performance, you can expect to see a decrease in power draw at idle and load. As you can see below, here is a comparison between the different firmware updates and differences in its power draw at idle and load. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"583\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.seeedstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-181.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-181.png 583w, https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-181-300x172.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 583px) 100vw, 583px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"594\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.seeedstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-182.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27507\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-182.png 594w, https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-182-300x171.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 594px) 100vw, 594px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As seen above, at idle, the power draw dropped from 2.89W to 2.1W since launch while power draw at load dropped from 7.28W to 6.41 since launch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thermal Throttling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though the Raspberry Pi still does thermal throttling with the beta firmware, it only starts thermal throttling at the 177 seconds mark compared to the 65 seconds mark at launch. The new clocking controls helped increase the average clock speed up and also allow the Raspberry Pi 4 to up-clock more at idle which improves the performance of background tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"639\" height=\"319\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.seeedstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-183.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27508\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-183.png 639w, https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-183-300x150.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 639px) 100vw, 639px\" \/><figcaption>Ref: <a href=\"https:\/\/magpi.raspberrypi.org\/issues\/88\">MagPi Raspberry Pi Issue 88<\/a>  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How do you update your Raspberry Pi to get the latest firmware? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Can&#8217;t wait to get the latest firmware for your Raspberry Pi but do not know how?

This ICE Tower CPU cooling Fan features a tower structure,&nbsp;5mm copper tube, multi-layer heat sinks, and 7 powerful fan blades which makes this fan a super radiator for Raspberry Pi.&nbsp;In the case of overclocking or overheating, it can reduce the temperature of the Raspberry Pi from 80\u2103 to 40\u2103!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Change your Raspberry Pi 4 orientation <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"386\" height=\"239\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.seeedstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-184.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-184.png 386w, https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-184-300x186.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 386px) 100vw, 386px\" \/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/Raspberry-Pi-4-Computer-Model-B-4GB-p-4077.html?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog\">Raspberry Pi 4 Computer Model B 4GB<\/a><br><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you know, with the beta firmware installed, by making your Raspberry Pi 4 stand upright with the GPIO header at the bottom and the power and HDMI ports at the top can also reduce the temperature of your Raspberry Pi 4! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why? How does it work? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>By having your Raspberry Pi 4 stand upright vertically, helps improves convection which allows the surrounding air to draw the heat away more quickly from your Raspberry Pi 4. In addition, by lifting the board up, you prevent contact of the Raspberry Pi 4 from the heat-insulating desk surface which increases the surface area of your Pi 4 for cooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"658\" height=\"324\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.seeedstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-185.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-185.png 658w, https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-185-300x148.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 658px) 100vw, 658px\" \/><figcaption>Ref: <a href=\"https:\/\/magpi.raspberrypi.org\/issues\/88\">MagPi Raspberry Pi Issue 88<\/a>   <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As seen from the above thermal graph, the Raspberry Pi 4 system-on-chip on idle is around 2\u00b0C lower than the previous best with the beta firmware and heats up a lot more slowly which allows your Raspberry Pi 4 to run the synthetic workload longer without any thermal throttling and an improved average clock speed which means better performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Summary<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With the new beta firmware update and the previous firmware updates to the Raspberry Pi 4 over the 4 months, you can expect to see your Pi 4 to run at a much cooler temperature!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What do you think of this firmware update?
