Raspberry Pi: Overclocking

[peter_b]

I've done this together with ^Rooker before without problems.
I regret that we haven't written the process down here, so I'm doing this now.

Run "raspi-config":

Code: Select all

$ sudo raspi-config

Then choose the item "overclocking" and select the last line starting with "Turbo":

Turbo 1000MHz ARM, 500MHz core, 600MHz SDRAM, 6 overvolt

The reason I'm sad I didn't write my experiences down the last time is the warning that appears then:

Warning: some people have reported SD card corruption with this level of overclock.

I don't remember agreeing to that one previously...
However, there's an official announcement by the Raspberry Pi makers about overclocking not voiding your warranty. It also explicitely mentions "Turbo" mode as the mode of choice, since it's scaling the CPU frequency dynamically as needed.
