Hardware: Raspberry Pi 3, rev 1.2 Image OS: Raspbian Buster armhf Lite, from 2021-05-07-raspios-buster-armhf-lite Kernel: 5.10.63-v7+ MicroSD: SanDisk Extreme microSDXC UHS-I 64Gb, part number SDSQXA2-064G-GN6MA

EmulationStation uses about 13% CPU on a Raspberry Pi on idle. With what entails that the temp even with heatsink and fan, the temperature rises, it is maintained, but in idle, I think it should lower the CPU consumption.

The screenshot is taken with the system rebooted, leaving a waiting time of at least 30 minutes, without pressing anything in the menu, RetroPie has been installed manually following the official guide. capture01 It has the screensaver on, dark mode, I have also tried dim mode, but same result. It has all updated packages, both operating system, as RetroPie to date.

the average temperature is around 50º, in idle, although it is true that when you start a game the CPU consumption for this service is close to 0%, but being constantly, it does not let the CPU to relax, and with the temperature increase that entails.

$ vcgencmd measure_temp
temp=51.7'C
