What is a safe Raspberry Pi temperature?
The SoC (System on Chip – the integrated circuit that does the Pi’s processing, a Broadcom BCM2837B0) is qualified from -40°C to 85°C. This effectively means that the maximum operating temperature of Raspberry Pi’s key components is 70oC and 85oC respectively.
How hot can the Raspberry Pi get?
85°C.
To prevent overheating, all Raspberry Pi boards begin to throttle the processor when the temperature reaches 80°C and even further when it reaches the max temp of 85°C.
How much RAM does a Raspberry Pi 2b have?

Why does my Raspberry Pi keep overheating?
A reported issue with Raspberry Pi can be overheating, with a resulting loss of performance, when the board is exposed to high temperatures. All electrical devices are qualified to a specific operating temperature range at which the device will work effectively.
What should the operating temperature of a Raspberry Pi be?
This effectively means that the maximum operating temperature of Raspberry Pi’s key components is 70oC and 85oC respectively. In considering the effect of overheating on a Raspberry Pi prototype, it is necessary to consider other sources of heat.
Why is the Raspberry Pi Model 3 + so hot?
In developing the model 3+, the Raspberry Pi Foundation elected to fit a metal shield over the SoC to improve convection cooling and dissipate more heat than the model 3.
Is there a way to cool a Raspberry Pi?
One option to dissipate heat from Pi’s components is to mount a cooling fan, powered through the GPIO. Compatible fans are widely available at a relatively low cost and can be positioned to deliver cooling to where it is needed most: the SoC. For an industrial prototype, however, installing a fan may not be the best solution.
