This seems conflicting with what I read about its behavior. It should heavily throttle (underclock) itself, but shouldn't destroy itself. Maybe you got a defect

This seems conflicting with what I read about its behavior. It should heavily throttle (underclock) itself, but shouldn't destroy itself. Maybe you got a defective unit or the hot thermal environments caused issues elsewhere (again maybe due to some defect).
- mrlambchop 7y agoOh, I'm sending it back to be looked at. The hat that comes with the picade doesn't have space for a heatsink or fan under it (as the instructions are put together to assemble it) so I'm also suspecting that its early doors for the Pi4 and picade still.
- colechristensen 7y agoI had a power supply with similar problems which actually started on fire - I had been restarting it repeatedly after it kept (supposably) hitting thermal or some other shutdown condition. Lesson: just because there are protections for going past limits doesn't mean that everything is fine when you are constantly hitting them. (applicable to our current government problems sadly)
- dannyw 7y agoThere's only so much throttling it can do. If there really was zero ventilation and ambient temps were hot, components can start melting.
- duxup 7y agoThrottle but.... will it shutdown intentionally due to temperature?
