RPi Model B+
Copper heatsink on the CPU, aluminum heatsink on the ram is it?
in config.txt I have made the following choices:
hdmi_mode = 4 (720p, lower res, slightly less resource consumption)
TURBO DEFAULT – I did this in the raspi-config but here are the values: arm_freq = 1000, core_freq = 500, sdram_freq = 600, over_voltage = 6
avoid_pwm_pll = 1, Don’t dedicate a pll to PWM audio. This will reduce analogue audio quality slightly. The spare PLL allows the core_freq to be set independently from the rest of the gpu allowing more control over overclocking
h264_freq = 0, isp_freq = 0 – these two as well as “v3d_freq” are part of “gpu_freq” – I have reduced the h264 (video) and isp (image sensor) down to 0, this should in theory give a boost to the v3d, allowing it all of the 250mhz of cpu_freq
force_turbo = 1 – THIS MAY VOID YOUR WARRANTY!!! I tried this out and so far everything I have been doing is as stable as it was before… It will likely also reduce the lifespan of your RPi but so far I have seen nothing really different.
FUTURE PLANS:
I plan to test higher arm_freq and gpu_freq, or at least a higher v3d_freq
