Re: raspberry pi making a noise (not from audio)
About the only components that can possibly make noises on the board itself are inductors - the changing magnetic field stresses the ferrite, and if they weren't glued correctly, the bits chatter together. Other than being annoying, they shouldn't be a problem - I don't believe their life will be s...

raspberry pi making a noise (not from audio)
This may sound strange but my Raspberry pi 3 while running on only ethernet and power (or even wifi) makes a strange sound, if it's queit I can hear it clearly without needing to get close! It's making me worry, benchamrking didn't make a big diffrence (it did make a diffrence, just a very small one...

Re: Is this overclock safe for everyday use?
If lets say I somehow magically kept my processor as 30 degrees at all time. could I just raise the voltage without problem? I assume at anything near 1.5v or even 1.8v the processor would somehow break without burning itself right? otherwise you could just raise it to infinity :D does the transist...

Re: Is this overclock safe for everyday use?
Hi kamhagh, I'm not yet an expert but i'm going to give you some clues. Overclocking any kind of processor should not be a problem if : -1) the IC timings meet required specifications (memories access time, and so on...) over your temperature range needs, -2) the chip temperatures meet required spe...

Re: Is this overclock safe for everyday use?
Do you have £30 to test it out ;-) Anything over the official overclock region (which is none with the Pi3 at the moment iirc) is a risk and 'not safe' But then where is the fun, do as you do with standard PCs (Intel/AMD) and take your risks :-D yeah i guess :D I have been burning money by stupid s...

http://www.jackenhack.com/raspberry-pi-3-overclocking . Thanks for your reply. I already read that. and I use the same heatsink :P But my question is: Is it safe for everyday use if the temps are low enough? should I even push it to 8 over_Voltage?! I'm talking about killing it slowly! If I was ove...

Is this overclock safe for everyday use?
So I was overclocking my RPi 3 for fun. and It actually made a good difference. I'm too much of a chicken to go for more but I'm currently at over_voltage=7 and arm_freq=1355 and gpu_feq=450. I haven't tried messing with anything else yet, I ran glmark2 and sysbench and they're completely stable. my...

SSH doesn't work after samba
I just installed samba on my b+ with arch linux, rebooted few times after that to fix some stuff but now this morning, my ssh gives me this: Connection refused, I'm a beginner. do you have any idea what I can do?

Re: Can't open config.txt with nano error reading.
Using the laptop try deleting the .config.txt.swap file. Then edit config.txt back to working values. Well I already re installed it. It works now but the speed is still 15.5mb/S from 23.3 it used to be. It was lagging too I assume all raspberry pies lag! Why is my SD card still slower? Is it possi...

It was a bit slow and I did it for fun too :( have I damages my pi? Or SD cardss..... Rather than asking here, since how would anyone here know? Rather than that, get another sdcard, properly prepare it at stock settings and see if it runs right. OK. I don't have any other SD cards so I'll just rei...

Re: Can't open config.txt with nano error reading.
Don't overclock your Pi. Why are you overclocking? Do you have heatsink and/or fan? yes I have a heatsink. It didn't go over 80. when i started overclocking i did it with a better ehatsink. It nevr got more then 60-70 degrees It was a bit slow and I did it for fun too :( have I damages my pi? Or SD...

Wget segmentation fault core dumped
Hi. I just bought rasp pi 3! And I have a few problems with it.
When I try to use "wget" with or without -c on any link it gives me segmentation fault!
I couldn't find anything on the internet never had any similar problems
