Re: Two pi's, one runs slow?

If it overheats, it will throttle. Throttling makes it operate at a much slower speed.

If its rasbian, you should update it (then you will see voltage/overheating warning icons upper right hand corner of monitor/screen)

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
