Somebody's never overclocked their pi before...
With an overclock, even a FLIRC would throttle when running our full unit test suite. A 30% reduction in unit test runtime is nothing to sneeze at and I certainly didn't want to downclock to 600-800MHz due to throttling. An ICE Tower was a lifesaver.
- arbitrage 6y agoby overclock, do you mean full-out running at peak all the time? or letting the CPU governor still work and just bumping up the limits? one makes sense, the other is hubris.
- hajile 6y agoIn theory, TDP scales linearly with clockspeed. In practice, power increases higher than that rate. 30-35% increases in heat to dissipate is significant. I'm old school when it comes to overclocking. Stability and sustainability matter to me. I don't always run all cores full-on for hours, but when I do, I want a cooling solution that's up for the job.
