ESP32-C6 getting really hot when Wifi is enabled
Posted: Wed Jul 23, 2025 10:25 am
Hello,
I have made a custom ESP PCB Design with an ESP32-C6 chip with QFN32 package and internal flash. The board works just fine till the point where the Wifi is enabled.
- Without the wifi enabled the board draws 0.2W (25-30° C)
- with the wifi enabled but not connected: 0.5W (60° C)
- with wifi enabled and connected: 1.9W (+100° C)
The antenna works fine wifi Signal is mostly below 70 dB
I would really appreciate any Help.
