Raspberry Pi: Overclocking
Posted: Fri Nov 29, 2013 3:39 am
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":
Then choose the item "overclocking" and select the last line starting with "Turbo":
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.

Code: Select all
$ sudo raspi-configThe reason I'm sad I didn't write my experiences down the last time is the warning that appears then:Turbo 1000MHz ARM, 500MHz core, 600MHz SDRAM, 6 overvolt
I don't remember agreeing to that one previously...Warning: some people have reported SD card corruption with this level of overclock.
