Here's the thing most everyone overlooks: PCB cooling/Airflow: Just about every component is soldered to the PCB and as solder is way better than thermal compound, most all heat producing components are DESIGNED to lose heat via that solder, into the 'copper filled' PCB..! That means that the PCB should be thought of as a heatsink. Like any heatsink it needs airflow to work..! On both sides! ie: these big heatsinks that cover the PCB re doing the Pi (and everything else) a huge disservice! Proof's in the pudding: Put separate component size (or slightly bigger) heatsinks on the hot components and a ~80mm fan blowing from a reasonable distance on each side and see what happens. All of a sudden that thing you thought of only as a PCB can do it's other job properly..! eg: DRAM: The DRAM does not produce much heat itself, but the heat from the CPU etc seeps into the RAM via the PCB AND via any large, one piece heatsink. Stick one of those small heatsinks onto the DRAM using a THIN layer of Thermal Adhesive mixed 50/50 with thermal compound or leave them bare with said airflow.
there are probably different models, many PI 5 crash when trying to set to 3ghz If I take the values from the video and reboot, then I have no access, must first edit the SD card and deactivate overclocking then the PI starts again
Hey thank you for uploading! I'm trying to do the stable experience. Whenever I update my config.txt, the pi gets stuck on the bootup screen, and never makes it any further. It's the part of the screen where there's like a single under score at the top left. Is there a certain amount of time I should wait?
@@bap2139 In my case I did, both for resetting it to work as usual and then to still overclock 1. If it ever got stuck like I mentioned if you remove the micro SD card and plug directly in to your laptop you can edit the config.txt to remove the overclocking which let it work again 2. I did manage to overclock, but only barely. It would start up and run if I set the ARM_FREQ to 2600 for example, but no more. I think that's the silicon lottery part, but I could be wrong.
Very useful tutorial

Updated Bootloader stopped my Rpi 5 from booting. any solution to that ?

Yes some models are getting crashed. I guess 4GB and 8GB variants work fine.
Can you make a video of such a high overclocking on the gpu processor, it would be great if there was a high overclocking on the gpu

Check Jeff Geerling’s pi(3.14) ghz overclock video.
this happened to me as well. Did you find a fix?

@noahkasmanoff6366 this is exactly what I had to do. Could not set overclock past 2600 on mine as well. Disappointing.
My bootloader is not loaded
What temp of Pi ?
The pi5 is fast enough without overclocking it. Plus the risks of overclocking are not worth it, so why do it?
Cause at higher clock speeds you get a smooth video playback and everything will be super responsive.
@@kskroyaltech You already said that. The pi 5 is fast enough for those tasks and you are unable to give me a valid reason for pointless overclocking.
The video just shows it can be done. You might be the guy who buys a sports car and drives speed limit on the passing lane
@@primeral All because something can be done, doesn't mean it should be done especially if it brinks the pi . The rest of your comment is idiotic.
@@drtoothpaste You get butthurt over a comment so you're going to throw insults... Learn to cope, the Internet will wait for you to catch up.
I just tried this my pi 5 is now a paperweight, it's ok, I'm not buying a new one. They are useless trash anyway. Glad it blew up
What did you do 😂
Lmao. wtf???? What do you mean “glad it blew up”??? 😭😭😭😭😭💀💀
Had no use for it anyway, they are crap as a desktop, can barely play Minecraft on it even lowest settings. Junk
Just followed the video
@@lutrueson9000 Using it like a desktop is the least thing you want to do. The only trash thing here is your brain...
