    Interesting feedback.

    The new firmware seems to reduce power consumption of USB controller. 3C is better than nothing but the idle temps are still too high for my liking.

    I think the official case is unfit for purpose - they did not consider the higher temps of Pi4. 70C idle temp is not acceptable. What seems crazy to me is that the official case is part of the £115 'desktop' bundle... a use case scenario where it will definitely not be idle. I expect it will throttle immediately from light browsing.

    I've got mine in the Pimoroni Coupe 4 case (so open top) and idling on the System Info hardware screen mines running at 74C and thats with the new firmware (VL805 FW version: 000137a8) applied.
