$ cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone1/temp

So, I am using iwd only to connect and configure my network. It connect to my WIFI during boot automatically as a service.
$ cat /etc/iwd/main.conf
[General]
EnableNetworkConfiguration=trueWell, strange thing happening then i restart iwd.service … temperature goes down slowly (during 10-15 sec) to 35C.
Right, then I run some speed test with browser, temperature can increase up to 45-55C and after goes back to 35C.
Here are some info after boot and service restart
