i love u
a tru hero
Not all hero's wear capes.
damn this guy's good. Perfect tutorials: easy to follow along with and no bullshit; really appreciate it!
Patrick wertz when you say no bullshit it got scary... ive only seen the warning for burning up and exploding my house and if that isnt bullshit then... ah nevermind ive always wanted to see a computer blow up lets do this xDD
Awesome tutorial, I was waiting for the factory overclock and never looked for a way to overclock until I found this video. super easy and well explained, a very needed boost to my pi 3
Thanks a ton! This was so simple when every other tutorial I found on reddit or github was so vague about where to actually input these settings.
This is the best guide yet, thank you. I was having a lot of trouble with jargon on other guides.
I got lucky for once LOL! Got to one of those "golden" Pi apparently. I cranked the CPU to 1450 and all the other frequencies to 500. Stress tested it for two hours and no crash or anything! Using a small aluminum heatsink and a tiny fan inside a plastic case. It even booted at 1550!!! But it crashed under 5 min haha. Thanks for the tutorial, super helpful!
I just used this tutorial combined with your move recent how to overclock the raspberry pi4 video to update my new retropie loaded micro SD i recently received. I went into terminal from retropie, i edited the config from terminal, i overclocked the cpu to 2000, gpu to 650, overvolt to 6. MUCH more snappy. Thank you for all your tutorials.
Great video, made it so simple. Games running loads better now. Cheers!
amazing instructional video, I'm still learning but your "howto" was perfect
Great tutorials dude! Subbed.... My Pi 3 was 1.2 out the box, 1.4 overclocked, lovely! I got a small USB fan to cool the unit
Great video, thank you! My pi 3 actually booted just fine at 1.5GHz, but it wasn't stable during the stress test. I ended up backing it down to 1.45 and now it seems fine. I have both the core_freq and cpu_freq set to 500.
Hey ETA. Thanks so much for this tutorial! I have a Pi 3b and I am running Retropie 4.1. I was able to Overclock my Pi to 1.5gh and the GPUFREQ to 500. I also have my Pi set up with Heat sinks and a fan though. It is running great and has made a huge difference with the N64 games. Thanks again!!
awesome! on both of my pi3's i can only reach 1.4
You should look into ODriod they cost a tiny bit more and I think they have a 1.6ghz version and a 2ghz one too.
Jason Gomez i have heat sync and fan. i wonder if I should push higher than 1.4
If i set arm_freq more than 1400 for example 1450 my raspberry pi3 couldnt boot.
But maybe it was because i set over_voltage only for 4 or 5
Dang you got a sweet little pi haha. I could only get mine to run with the CPU @1400 and GPU @500. After doing some reading and measuring CPU usage during N64 gameplay it seems N64 benefits more from GPU overclock than CPU.
Thanks ETA! i was able to clock my pi to 1.5 at 500GPU freq. So far its running really good
Worked like a charm, Thank you!
Thanks for the great tutorial!
Very helpful, dude! Thanks! So simple and easy. Great!
Thank you very much for doing this. Your videos have really helped me.
love your vids and your warnings crack me up hahaha
I just did this overclock process to my Pi 3 B board. First, I have to say that this was an incredibly easy process. Thanks for creating this video. Second, I noticed a very big difference when running the N64 emulator. It's not entirely perfect, but it's now playable and not annoying.
Next, I will try out the image smoothing settings for N64 to see if that enhances it even more.
Thanks again!
Thats what Im trying to get to run smooth also. What screen emulator settings do you use, for display output? It asks to press any button to configure.. In those settings.. Also what speed did you get yours up to?
Do you need to Overclock to play n64
Thanks for the video. Over clocked my CPU and GPU on my 3B+ to 1.5 instead of the stock 1.4. It’s been running Dreamcast games much better(Marvel vs capcom2 mostly). N64 games have got much better as well. They have another set up for a 1.6 but it’s been running so great I don’t wanna brick this one haha. Again greatly appreciate the video
Works great! Thanks for the upload
You earned my hard earned subscription.
When I checked mine was already on 1.4 but I’ve never overclocked it and it’s a fresh install. It’s a pi 3a
Awesome guide! Thanks alot!
I blew up my house. My eyebrows and armpit hair are both completely gone. Lawsuit incoming. You have been warned.
Vrymkul Romanov oh!?!
I'll be sending Daryl over by your house.
It opened up a portal which transported me in the past of which I am here typing right now in your present warning you about the future which is my past and your present.
I also opened a portal to another dimension while trying this. The second the first alien came out of this portal, some netflix executives stormed my house and offered me money to make a series out of this.......I think its called gossip girl ;)
you can't sue him because he has a disclaimer at the very beginning explaining that he won't be responsible before you proceed to follow these instructions.
Will the FLICR case be good enough for this OC?
If you just wanna to do this on command line just run command: "sudo nano /boot/config.txt".
Thanks!
How do you exit the config?
ctrl+x it will then ask if you would like to save it should default to Y (yes) hit enter and it will save
Yeah I didnt see the hassle in using a pc and taking out my sd card
people still use nano?
great video tutorial and ty for the overclocks. Managed to get 1.4ghz but it was unstable. Settled for a 1.35ghz overclock. So far no issues, Im running with heat sinks and a clear case with holes in it for air flow/escape. Might buy another sense there so cheap to try the silicon lotto/mess around with a 2nd one. Thnx again! =)
Awesome I have another raspberry pi 3 on the way hopefully this one will hit 1.4 but I'm not counting on it, I figure I can use it as a server if anything. Glad to hear your overclocked now I know it's not much of an overclock but it's still cool to say "my raspberry pi is overclocked "
Thanks. I recently got some of those cheap heatsinks with adhesive packs off eBay and the highest I could go without the system locking up completely is 1.35gHz with my official Pi case on it (completely closed). I would like to get a proper fan and scrape off the adhesive and just use some cooling compound with it.
Great tutorial. Thank you.
Thanks ETAPrime. Pi 3 running 1.5 with heatsinks and dual fans inside the Flirc case without issues since Jan 2018.
Lorna Arnau could you tell me which dual fans you used? I'm looking into buying the flirc case, but heard dual fans won't fit the case.
Great video (as always)
thanks, perfect overclock.
really nice, easy to follow video for a noob like me, many thanks
Thank you so much! I got a 1.45 on the first try!
thanks for video mate.
This worked. Hey have you ever tried to change boot logo to play a video file at startup? or change Your MOTD to display a costume login?
Great videos man. They're helping me out a lot. :)
Thanks glad i can help out.
i have both heat syncs and a huge fan so i think im good.
got it to 1.45 thanks for the video
Not sure why, but I always seem to find this vid in the search and can never find the updated one unless I click on this one first. PX
Going to be my third Pi 3. Planning on putting this one inside of my end-table with the glass top. Will submerge the device in mineral oil, since mineral oil doesn't conduct electricity it'll make for great cooling. Along with a few LED lights in it, it should make for an interesting piece for the living-room.
thank you so much, tried googling but only came up with confusing answers. I wanted to set my nes/snes to integer 6x 5x and have the crt_pi shader on . Stock this was causing stuttering, I've overclocked to 1450 and runs fine now. Shame retropie doesn't allow for easy overclocking like batocera does.
Great video, thanks for the help. I run into some problems with the 1.4 overclock and some basic games like super mario world refused to boot.
Also i get the under voltage warning. I'm running a 5V 2.5Amp power supply. Wouldn't that be enough?
is there an overclock setting that can be used for BOTH 3b and 3bplus? i want to beable to swap my card between the 2 pi's
What is the command to see current and min frequencies? Thanks for the great videos
8:58 Press the up arrow dude. your command history is saved at the user data when properly shutdown!
will i need a better power supply than a 2.5a if i overclock from 1.2 to 1.4?
Just so you're aware, putting "#arm_freq=800" does not restore it to stock. That's commented out and ignored anyway.
All that matters is deleting what you put in.
Cool thanks I didn't even think about it be commented out.
Any idea what kind of practical in-game improvements one might see with a .2 GHZ overclock?
So nervous doing this in 2022 when I can't just buy another one at MSRP. Luckily, I have a beast of a case for cooling. Armor case with fans.
Sweet!!!
I was able to Overclock my RP3 at 1.50 ghz
Don't know if it actually makes a difference.
Passive cooling via aluminum case.
1.2 Gigahertz*
Delighted 1.4 might try going up a bit will let you know. Thanks again
Awesome i got anothe pi 3 and I can only hit 1.4 I hope you can make it higher!! I watched a few of your videos you do some awesome work!
Thank you I'm better with wood than retro pi lol but love a challenge.
why is the mouse pointer and windows so smooth
Thanks!
very good tutorial. I was only ale to get to 1.35ghz. Thankyou
Just want to say thanks, mine would only run 1.4, but working great!
Yeah my won't go pass the 1400. Thanks a lot for all your videos, thanks to you I can re-joy all the all games that I love...!!! 👍🎮
Great videos man. I'm running on Noobs and I can't find the config.txt archive. Any clue of how can I do it? Thanks
Hi ETA! Awesome video! Do you know what's the difference between doing this and changing the settings in the RunCommand menu/Cpu option? And what would the best setting be in your opinion? Thx!
mine doesn't work from the runcommand menu
When trying to go higher can you be a little bit more descriptive on what to do EXACTLY? I what numbers would you raise? If one goes up do another? Im a complete novice and want to push mine to the max. thank you.
What if your using a multi boot os ? Would I need to change this in each config. text ?
thanks
try removing the stock thermal compound with copper shim, metal conductive glue from radioshck to the case, and regular thermal compound on the pi 3. It got me from 1300 to safe 1400, possibly higher.
Whenever I try to overclock it, I follow your exact steps, but when I do the cat /sys/... thing it still says 1.2 ghz. I tried a few different overclocks and the result is the same. It does not have any problems booting and before I take the microsd out of my pc I check it to see if the changes are still there and they are.
Any opinions on how much to overclock with the flirc case?
random scream at 7:36. The Overclocked Pi must have killed her.
Its alive!
my house burnt down, but im just going to blame it on the Napa fires. awesome video!
When I did a overclock of 1.3, my PS3 controller was wiggin out, doing stuff all on its own. Any idea why this would happen?
Could you do a video on retro pie 1.6 on the Raspberrypi 4 please
Hi! My problem is, i can't acces the Sd card from de PC 😓. ..
Hello! Thanks for this video. I was wondering what temperature was safe for the PI 3? I received mine at 1.2GHZ and it runs at about 52C / 125F. I overclocked it to 1.4GHZ, it works great but I'm concerned it gets too hot. It's currently running at 69C/156F (after trying a few dreamcast and N64 games..). Will the system shut itself down if it gets too hot? I installed aluminum heatsinks.
Hi, thanks for the video's. They are much easier to follow than some of the other site that try to explain too much and end up confusing you. I did have a question that maybe you can help me with. I am using the quad boot on my rp3, but there are bunch of config files ( i believe because there are 4 partitions). Is it possible to modify the just the config file for retropie/emulation station so that i can be overclocked for gaming, but with pixel, plex, or kodi? Not sure where to look or which file to modify. Any ideas?
If overclocked...and then backed up SD card/image...and had to write to a new SD card...does that overclocking that was done stay on the image when moving to New SD card?
arm_freq=1500
gpu_freq=525
core_freq=525
sdram_freq=500
over_voltage=6
v3d_freq=525
force_turbo=1
avoid_pwm_pll=1
disable_splash=1
avoid_warnings=1
you can bump up arm, gpu, core, sdram, v3d but i've found this to be very stable even with average fan and heat-sinks.
currently using an Invasion case by C4 labs and have yet to see it break 40*C
whatever the "smooomo=000x200000" setting is causes a lot of instability
1.4 worked for me. Thanks a lot for the video. Very easy to follow instructions. So i have heatsinks and a fan how would i try a 15000 overclock? 14500 didnt work for me. Would it be as simple as going into that script and changing the coresponding value? Im like you, if i kill it whatever. Thanks so much again. Liked and subbed
what sort of practical impact does this have on frame rates of games (mainly N64 games I'm curious about)
Edit: LOL I just now see the related video you did on N64 testing.
When I overclocked for the first time I went to 1300 cpu and 500 gpu and after 10 mins of n64 emulation my sd card cracked in half because of heat. After that I got a small fan and mounted it, and now heat is no problem and I can get up to 1400 cpu and 550 gpu and it runs fine
Damn dude. That was either really hot, a really cheap sd card, or both.
Do you have to do this with every micro sd card or just once?
well done sir
I want to play ps1 and n64 with my retropie will I have to do this??
Perfect tutorial, I just overclocked the pi3b to 1.35ghz. Have heatsinks with artic silver paste on both the cpu and gpu but only running a 2a powersupply. Do you think it's safe to overclock to 1.40 or over? Is there a big difference in performance?
I would run a stress test to check for stability as well as to see how high the temperature goes on your heat sink before raising the bar. Even if you're not concerned about the pi burning up, you probably dont want it to crash.
Great video. Whats your opinion on running these setting...
gpu_mem=400
arm_freq=1350
over_voltage=5
sdram_freq=500
core_freq=500
gpu_freq=450
Also do you know what the default values are for the above setting? Because I'm not even sure how much of an overclock that is applying :/
what is the highest overclock for the 3b
and did you get 1.5 ghz with the other one ?
Old post but I'm hoping to get some help.
I have a question, what's the best and cheapest why to keep an over clocked rassberrypi cooled?
Content Cleaner get a cheap case with a fan, and buy some decent heatsinks made for the pi, the fan and case can be cheap, just make sure the heat sink isnt
would a 1.5 ghz overclock be over_voltage=6 or 7?
I believe you made an error in your notepad file and video.
#arm_freq=800 should go in line 43 to change back to default settings
Please correct me if I'm wrong though.
what is the max frequency the core gpu can reach before the Pi 3 locks up?
I have the Ri pi3B and everyone is saying you cant do it>? is this a different model?
if i put an overclock pi 3 image into a pi zero will it work or do i need to go back to default settings before i put the overclock image in my pi zero ? i know it wont over clock the zero.. but will it work on the pi zero..?
do you also have a 1.25ghz?
hello everyone, im a noob in the raspberry pi world, question, since i have a 5v mini fan, and after i overclock, what type of power supply should i use?
I overclocked it to 1.4ghz and used copper shim plates w/ silver compound. After playing the N64 emu for a few minutes the system freezes. Any thoughts?
hi! can you show us how it works know the psp emulater now that you overclock it?
Yes I'm almost done with my overclock rd dreamcast video as soon as I'm done I'll start psp
Isn't retro pie based on Arch? Could've just used nano
What kind of performance are we gaining here? I was attempting to play Castlevania Symphony of the night on PsX and had stutter randomly every 30 seconds or so. I'm wondering if this would take care of that issue.
overclocking the PI should help the lag
I bought a SquareTrade protection plan with my Raspberry Pi 3 for four years. I heard from someone else that that covers over clocking, but could someone else confirm that for me?
can the gpu be overclocked as well?
I don't have those entries on line #42, mine is something about #HDMI_Mode=10. Can I paste the over clocking commands into any line? I did a search and didn't see anything close to how line #42 reads, or line #43 in this video.
same here did you figure it out?
