Raspberry Pi 3 Overclock and Turbo Config (2016)
- yoz-y 9y agoIf I only have the three aluminium heatsinks, would any of this be advisable ?
- leggomylibro 9y agoI kind of wonder if you could do a mineral oil immersion with these boards. The GPIO header might be tricky.
- itomato 9y agoSure, what is different about GPIO vs. ATX power?
- andimm 9y agoThe first instructions seem to be, that the cpu is not throttling while idle. So that should be safe. Going forward a fan might be recommended, depending on the usage of the Pi: https://microsoft.github.io/ELL/tutorials/Active-cooling-your-Raspberry-Pi-3/ https://microsoft.github.io/ELL/tutorials/Active-cooling-you... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15487233 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15487233
- 0xbear 9y agoSpeaking from experience: there’s almost no measurable perf benefit from disabling ondemand governor on Pi3 or other low end boards. I use Pi3 as a cortex a53 benchmark baseline, and I no longer bother controlling the clock. This does not hold on higher end boards though. E.g. NVIDIA TX1 or 2 is considerably faster if you force max clock.
- konsnos 9y agoUnfortunately I don't see any graph as to how much more performance was squeezed out of it, and neither any data of the temperature increased, although in comments I can see people providing some answers with their heatsink and fan set ups. I would be curious to see if this has any improvement for applications such as games in RetroPie.
- pletnes 9y agoSince older rpi models can run NES games, I guess the rpi3 is more powerful than necessary. And if the game you’re playing is running smoothly, why bother? With the consoles, there are no graphics settings.
- skocznymroczny 9y agoRetropie isn't only about NES. I have a rpi3 and it can handle N64 games too.
- dvfjsdhgfv 9y agoThere are several emulators available. For example most 2D PSX games work fine. However, most PSP games are unusable due to glitches; N64 games aren't really playable with default settings either.
- giancarlostoro 9y agoGetting all N64 games to run properly is a big win. They don't all run all that stable yet.
- pletnes 9y agoAh, I wasn’t aware that so recent games were available.
- giancarlostoro 9y agoThe Dolphin Emulator has been posted on HN before it emulates both the GameCube and the Wii. That is the one emulator that impresses me the most... You can play online with other Wii players if you extract some info from your regular Wii, aka make your Wii immortal to a degree by digitizing it...
- gatesphere 9y agoThere is a Wii U emulator kicking around. And a few 3DS emulators -- which is a hoot, given that the 3DS is still a living, supported system getting new retail game releases weekly.
