Hi Siarhei,

I reprogrammed my thermal meter to get realtime data instead of measure 
temperature every 4s.

And collected more data ~(45,80). I stopped at 80, because I am afraid that 
it could actually burn the chip!

The temperature hangs around at about 45 when frequency is 30MHz and system 
idle.
