2.4 Overclocking
Overview
Some notes I've taken from other sites on overclocking the RPI
TODO the below is probably for the RPI1 check the settings for the RPI2
Frequency Select
nano -w /boot/config.txt
#"None" "700MHz ARM, 250MHz core, 400MHz SDRAM, 0 overvolt"
#"Modest" "800MHz ARM, 300MHz core, 400MHz SDRAM, 0 overvolt"
#"Medium" "900MHz ARM, 333MHz core, 450MHz SDRAM, 2 overvolt"
#"High" "950MHz ARM, 450MHz core, 450MHz SDRAM, 6 overvolt"
#"Turbo" "1000MHz ARM, 500MHz core, 500MHz SDRAM, 6 overvolt"
/boot/config.txt
arm_freq=900
core_freq=333
sdram_freq=450
over_voltage=2
Force Turbo
The force turbo option turns off the dynamic clocks and runs the Raspberry Pi constantly at the highest armfreq. Edit the /boot/config.txt, add forceturbo=1 then reboot the Raspberry Pi for changes to take effect.
nano -w /boot/config.txt
force_turbo=1
