Thanks for the PR. It reminds me that I changed the way that works a couple of months ago and so it doesn’t surprise me that there was a regression introduced. I have a memory of needing to test that bit more thoroughly but… time!

I’m trying to see if the zynthian-pwm-fan service is present or running on my zynth. Can you provide some guidance? I tried to look at [zynthian/zynthian-sys/blob/testing/etc/systemd/zynthian-pwm-fan.service] and
(https://github.com/zynthian/zynthian-sys/blob/testing/etc/systemd/zynthian-pwm-fan.service) but it seems the blob directory is no longer there and the github page is unreachable. Is there a better place to look?
Thanks
The last time I played with it…
Funnily enough I’m just updating that very machine with zynthian so I’ll see if it survives the process. It certainly wound up the fan as it started compiling
I needed to start the service manually but it seems OK now…
The Pi people really shat the bed as far as thermal management on the Pi5. I’m sure it was to do with keeping the costs at comparable levels to previous models, and I assume they experimented with clock speeds and whatnot, but really bad work on this one.
There’s lots different on the Pi5 .
If your version of Zynthian gets hot and you can not add better cooling, you may find this post interesting: https://discourse.zynthian.org/t/speed-fix-for-pi-5-8gb-memory-about-20-faster/11158/7
With check for power, too heavy overclocking, maybe add an alternative governor with cpufrequtils?
This is a lot of great ideas, but the OP has reported a specific bug about internet radio and a fix is benign reviewed. The real issue here was that zynthian entered a tight loop which maxed out the CPU. Heat was the result of the bug.
Yes, but you know I can’t resist mentioning zynthian-pwm-fan . . .
I will listen to the radio for a bit as penance.

this is the what I am worrying. hmm
