Hi everyone! My C2 idle cpu temperature seems high to me: around 75-80C. The only running program is Kodi, which I can see uses quite some CPU even though it is Idle (no video is playing). As soon as I quit Kodi, CPU usage & temperature drop to expected figures. Is this a “normal” behaviour or should I start investigating why? ---

Wow, ok, so I just disabled the RSS feed in Kodi (Appearance → Skin → Show Rss news feeds) and the cpu went down from constant 60% to pretty much nothing. Temp went from 81C to 60C in 2 minutes. Hopefully still going down… I would recommend everyone to disable this and if possible disable it in the dietpi image already. Cheers! ---

I’ve not noticed this on my C2 Kodi setup, mine stays idle around 50’c. But either way, disabling RSS feeds is a good idea, they can get “annoying”. I’ll see if we can disable it by default.

Thx Fourdee, but now I noticed overnight that CPU was again at 81C. It seems that if Kodi is left idle inside the TV Shows menu (maybe other menus) the CPU keeps going. If I leave Kodi idle on the main menu (without RSS), then it is fine (50/51C). ---

I figured out that the temperature issue was mainly due to the skin I was using (Mimic). I changed to another skin and now my CPU is around 50C at idle. ---
