      Hello everyone.
      I've never really monitored my temps as I have a fan on my case I use but recently I've been monitoring the temps just to check they are ok.
      I'm using a raspberry pi3 (not the new plus one) the original pi3b.
      I use the stock image from retropie fully updated from retropie script.
      I have the pi in a oneninedesign case, I have heatsinks on the pi and I also have a 92mm fan mounted on top of the case instead of the enclosed lid that came with the case, this is connected to a 5v pin from the pi so it runs nice and quite.
      My pi is on all day every day. It idles around 32-35 degrees Celsius.
      When using it for long periods it sits around 45 degrees Celsius, give or take a few depending what emulator I'm using at the time.
      Are these temps good? should they be better?

      Thanks in advance
      Rob

        I think they're pretty reasonable for a PI3.
