Happy Pi Day! And 314 day, where I'm from ;) Has anyone else gotten a stable overclock past 3.14 GHz yet? I could run at 3.2, but couldn't finish a benchmark!
God damn dude that is not how you put thermal paste on :). I've built many computers and I'll give you some tips though I recognize you wanted to keep your hands clean especially while shooting a video. You want the absolute minimum that it takes to cover the whole surface without any spilling over the sides when you install the heatsink so the best way to do it is to start out like you did with a drop but just get grounded and get dirty and use your finger to spread it across the heat spreader (there are tools but those tools don't have thousands of nerve endings in them). The goal is to fill out all the gaps at the microscopic layer the metal is basically a bunch of mountains and valleys and you want to fill in the valleys with paste but you don't want to bury the peaks. Take any excess off with your finger you just need a thin coating across the spreader then put a light brushing on the heatsink but not nearly as much since the thin coating on the heat spreader is nearly enough once they're pressed together (just filling in the deepest gaps but not quite to the peaks, I usually just try to use the excess still on my finger this should not be as much as is on the cpu). You want there to be just enough to fill out the valleys on both metal surfaces but not have any spill over the sides when you press them together (or at least only a tiny amount, a glob at the edge can trap heat). This is especially important with silver based thermal compounds that can short out pins on the sides of the chip (chip specific).
@@lance862 thermal paste amount does not matter, as long as you have enough to cover the processor, no matter what kind of processor. it only matters if its liquid metal, which he did not use.
I got mine to 3.4 run at 3.4 and it was fairly stable. But I delidded the cpu (I would not recommend for most but if you want to risk it be careful) and used the water cooler to kick heat away as fast as possible to make sure I didn’t run into any problems while testing. But I had to test a few pi’s that I bought at various times and places to find one that could go past 3.1ghz.
@@jonathanbutler6635 Have you been able to get a full Geekbench run (or any other benches)? It seems like some of the stuff in those tests triggers blocks that get quite unstable past 3.0/3.1 :( It'd be cool to see if we can find any patterns to which Pis get up to exotic clocks and run well!
@@antonisautos8704At that many decimal places clock stability gets more of the problem 😄 Even the CPU heating up the board and there fore the crystal oscillator would have significant effects on the clock signal.
Haha, I am with you there-Diet Coke comes in third behind Diet Dr. Pepper and Diet Pepsi. Something's up with Diet Coke, I feel like it used to be better.
I definitely cut some corners in the process, left a bit more uncut footage in there than usual! But I do like mixing it up, it's a bit more like 'watch while I'm doing it' versus 'I did this and here's what happened'!
its always nice to see you enjoying yourself and bringing fun to our screens. i'm 80 this year but still love playing with my pi, I remember the first computer I worked with, no hard drive just two 5.25 floppy drives. Thanks
This might be a dumb question; is there any way to bypass the 1V rail to the CPU, maybe by cutting trace on the board and hooking it to an external DC power supply? Or perhaps do something like the shunt mods they perform on GPUs to bypass voltage limits? Or are all the voltages generated on the SoC itself?
It is possible on the RPi B. I directly fed the processor of a V2.0 using a Keysight $1k high precision generator borrowed from the university. The HWBot Prime score Jabatrox and I set that day will certainly remain as the best in "air" cooling. It's quite possible that this technique can also be done in the RPi 5, we need the schematics. Another big problem is finding a fine tunnable generator.
Maybe you could also use a board like Elmor Labs EVC to change the voltage, as is done with current graphics cards. If there is a possibility to solder the wires to the raspberry pi 5 so that the EVC can communicate with the voltage controller via l2C or another interface.
I remember my PI 4. I went the ultimate DIY route, and made the cooler myself from aluminium sheetmetal welded to a copper block. It cooled amazingly, compared to many market solutions. The PI died 6 months into the warranty, in the middle of the shortage. They repaid me the pre-shortage price. Yey.
@@oliverer3 probably, though sometimes people manage to DIY some advanced techniques. Diffusion bonding is another way to stick dissimilar metals together
@@JeffGeerling I use a socket small enough to compress and push the clips in, kinda like the ballpoint trick. Difference is it works with many different size clips of that style.
does raspberry release board schematics? Cause y'know if you could sever the trace that supplies power to the chip you could solder your own power supply to it, say 1.05V instead of just 1V
@2:13 You put on such a brave face when struggling with your debilitating disability. Those of us healthy should be thankful to you, you do a good job at bringing the struggles of being disabled to those of us abled enough to do manual tasks without the crippling disadvantage of being a left handed mutant. Bless your brave soul. Never let them tell you "you can't". 😊
It's a shame that Broadcom doesn't let you push the chip past 1V. As long as thermals are in check and the power delivery circuitry can keep up, +10% on top of that should be perfectly fine on most boards, as engineers always add a safety margin to account for the "weakest" chips and SMDs that have a bigger than average negative deviation in quality.
seems to keep the Temperature down well enough. I think I would go for needing them compared to the usual hobbyist heat sink and fan. Particularly in a warm environment
Not at all; I wish I had been able to, I would've spent more time making a script and everything :D I just found out it can go past 3.0 GHz a few hours ago!
Haha I noticed that this morning! (browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/5312673) - looks like that was a 4 GB model, and it could have memory that's *just* so slightly faster, accounting for that difference. Would love to see someone hit 3.3 GHz stable.
Original cooler has the heat sink fins wrong way around, a lot of turbulence are created and probably second half of the fins get next to no airflow...
Can you attach a bench psu and give it 1.05? or 1.1V? Just cut the cpu_pwr trace and solder a wire to it. And put a big resistor on the cpu_power trace to make a bit of current pull from the PMI to not shut down.
Those "corrupted" characters during boot were almost certainly not because of the overclock, as they show up on the first default boot at 5:22. I think it might be an ellipsis character that the console character set doesn't have a glyph for. Console lines at that point and above are all short, whereas below that they get longer, like the console video mode was changed at that point.
Wow, not bad at all. Your single cores are close to the same level as an A77 core on a beeg smartphone chip, which has signifcantly more cache and a faster interconnect. Wonder how it would compare to the N100 Intel CPU in this context.
Thanks for that Jeff. Previously I hadn't tried my Pi 5 at more than 2750MHz with no overvolt. I've added the over_volt_delta and used the unlocked firmware and it's now running at 3100MHz with a simple 100% CPU load. Standard case fan with the lid off and around 63°C. I'll be doing some video editing on it later. Then I might see how high it will go.
For the plastic standoff retainer (the plastic you squeeze with needle nose) use a small nut driver the diameter of the compressed tabs. Shove the nut driver over like you were going to remove a nut. The socket will push the retaining tabs in when you slide it in. So much easier than needle nose. If this makes no sense let me know I will send pics.
Hi Jeff, greetings from Costa Rica. Last 2 weeks I've been watching your work here and it's really awesome. Due to you're an engineer I was thinking maybe you could be interested about to develop a VoIP PBX Solution using Raspberry PI 5 with Issabel PBX and OpenVox Card model D130E. Let me know if this could be good for you because I will be working soon on it for my side.
Without the firmware update I was able to get bot Pi5's ,4 and 8gb memory, to run constantly at 2.900. Anything past that the pi5's would both just hand after rebooting. So I will try the firmware update and try to get at least 3.0 and slowly keep going up. I will not ever use force_turbo on. Don't want to void warranty.
15:18 Lol. That's about what my mid 2015 MacBook Pro gets (single core). I wonder if you really went nuts and did something like decap the processor and dripped liquid nitrogen on it or something? Pre chilled it?
That 'little' cooler is probably good for 50W or more. No way is a pi going to be a challenge for it. 6mm heat pipes are supposed to be able to carry about 30-40W each, depending on the wick inside.
And this is why I've lost interest in the raspberry pi. It's just becoming a mini PC as opposed to a "the little board that could" SBC - I don't need all this power, I just need a computer to work.
Pi 5 is such a useless bit of crap, i tried to overclock mine just 15% of what it was and the device Shit the bed, don't really care as i was not using it for anything, scrap now so no different than before. 😂
I only ever got my pi4 to 2.3 with the S2Pi Ice Tower Cooler. Right now the pad has slipped since its not in use and one of the screw heads broke, but it was a solid piece of kit when I used it.
Use a small socket to remove the clips on the cooler next time. Push on the clip as though you're installing it, while using the socket to retract the "fingers" from the other side. It's easier and much safer that way.
What is it with people that are afraid of spreading thermal paste and rely on cooler pressure to do the job??? Doing it that way, there will always be more paste where the blob is compared to the sides which means less pressure contact on the sides. Phil - Sr. engineer.
Happy Pi Day! And 314 day, where I'm from ;)
