Overclocking mode "Pi2"

1st Official Post

    Hey,

    I'm using Libreelec on my Pi B+ with a 5v, 2a Power Supply and passive heatsinks on CPU and GPU.
    Is the "Pi2" faster than the "Turbo" mode and why is it called "Pi2"?

    Is it as fast as the Pi2 or only for Pi2?

    I´m a bit confused due I'm pretty new to Libreelec and Kodi :sick:

    And on which mode do you overclock your Pi and which worked the best for you?

    If I understand you correctly you have a RPi1 which has a 700MHz ARM11 76JZF-S processor whereas the RPi2 has a 900 MHz 32-bit quad-core ARM Cortex-A7.

    So they are completely different processors.

    Turbo mode is just a way to get a little more "boost" - usually at start up, or to disable the cpu governor.

    RPi1 Overclocking: medium; 900 MHz ARM, 250 MHz core, 450 MHz SDRAM, 2 overvolt. Works without being too excessive.

    Read Raspberry Pi - Wikipedia for more information.
