So…I’ve been looking around for hours now and I have no idea why my overclocking is not working. I use a Raspberry Pi Model B+.
I’ve been looking at this: https://github.com/retropie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Advanced-Configuration
And changing the config.txt in /boot/ does nothing. I went from 700 to 1050 on arm_freq and did the stresstest specified in the link and my temp is not affected. My current config.txt file is as follows:
# uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default "safe" mode
#hdmi_safe=1
# uncomment this if your display has a black border of unused pixels visible
# and your display can output without overscan
#disable_overscan=1
# uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console
# goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border
#overscan_left=16
#overscan_right=16
#overscan_top=16
#overscan_bottom=16
# uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display's size minus
# overscan.
#framebuffer_width=1280
#framebuffer_height=720
# uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output
#hdmi_force_hotplug=1
# uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)
#hdmi_group=1
#hdmi_mode=1
# uncomment to force a HDMI mode rather than DVI. This can make audio work in
# DMT (computer monitor) modes
#hdmi_drive=2
# uncomment to increase signal to HDMI, if you have interference, blanking, or
# no display
#config_hdmi_boost=4
# uncomment for composite PAL
#sdtv_mode=2
#uncomment to overclock the arm. 700 MHz is the default.
arm_freq=1000
# for more options see http://elinux.org/RPi_config.txt
core_freq=500
sdram_freq=500
over_voltage=4
avoid_safe_mode=1
gpu_mem=384
force_turbo=0
I also tried changing doing this: sudo raspi-config and changing overclock settings to turbo, but no temperature change or anything. I don’t even have extra cooling, so it feels like my settings are not being used.
Any ideas?
