Just recently upgraded our home’s raspberry pi 4 powered Home Assistant server to a Intel Nuc with a 8th gen i5 processor, but seem to be having temp issues?
I also bought a Nuc (7th gen i3) for our beach house which worked perfectly with stable temps, but this new one seems to have problems with its temps.
*For those wondering, the gaps are when Home Assistant is off because of loadshedding, I live in South Africa.
I really don’t want to go through the hassle of returning the Nuc and searching for a new Nuc, because I live in the middle of nowhere. But maybe I should rather just do it while I stil can? What are your thoughts? Any advice would be appreciated.
I would look into repasting it, I just redid mine and it dropped from the 90 range down to the 60-70 since it was due to be repasted, used thermal grizzly kryonaught as I use that on all my personal gear when I need to apply fresh paste. I’m using a NUC5i7RYH swapped to an Akasa Plato X7 passive case, it hosts my camera feed from my NAS and my HA vm at the moment
