    After getting tired of having my Xiegu G90 reach temperatures of 100+ F I tried the Radioddity G90-H1 cooling fan and bracket. It is, in my opinion, a must have for your Xiegu G90! It has an automatic temperature control! Depending on the temperature of your Xiegu G90 the G90-H1 fan will spin between 200 - 3000 rpm. The current consumption of the G90-H1 is max 150 mA at 12 volts.

    100 F should not be a problem.

    100 C could be.

    Very true 100 C (212 F) would not be good!

    Are you running a digital mode (like PSK31)?

    No, I have not tried any digital modes on the G90.

    This is my RPi temp with no fan.

    Well within operating limits.

    I would worry if it was 150 F, But that is still within design limits.

    P.S. My Foreman grill runs about 350 Deg F. So you have a long way to go.
