Overclock CM3?

  • Hello I've a Slice with CM3. It has cooling system so it runs in standby around 37c and under load at ~55c.

    My current config is:

    Code
    #force_turbo=0
    #force_turbo=1
    arm_freq=1350
    core_freq=500
    over_voltage=4
    # prevent scaling

    So max speed is 1350mhz. According to bcmstat (thanks for the tool!) it is a :

    Code
       Board: 4 x ARMv7 cores available, ondemand governor (CM3 rev 1.0, BCM2837 SoC with 1GB RAM by Sony UK)

    Has anyone tried with higher settings? These that I have I guess are the default ones delivered by the 5ninjas.

  • Overclocking instructions for RPi3 are generally applicable for CM3 too. I used to run some moderate OC with my Slice box, though that's so long ago now that I can't recall the actual details of the options used.
