Pi3 Configuration, Overclocking, Stability Testing & Cooling

[Rive]

The Pi3 has been pushed to it's manufacturing limitations, and it runs hot. With the Pi3, if you are expecting to get any kind of performance out of it, you are gonna need to set up some kind of cooling.

SoC hot!!!

Raspberry Pi 3 Thermal Photography
The BCM2837 system-on-chip (SoC) in the Raspberry Pi 3 gets far, far hotter than its predecessors. If you're planning to put the Pi 3 in a case, you're going to need to invest in a heatsink and make sure there's at least some ventilation

Using my Pi3 as a test subject, for determining optimal cooling capabilities, optimization via overclocking, and running bench tests on that optimized Pi, I figured I would show it off firstly....

Screen Blanking and Lock Screen:
First thing i did though, was disable that annoying screen blanking. I set the Monitor to turn off, and go into power save mode when I wanted it to, and to use a keyboard shortcut to ScreenLock via Light-Locker. For more info, and Instructions on how to disable screen blanking, and enable screen locking (xscreensaver sucks), see: viewtopic.php?p=961360#p961360

My Pi3 desktop (I am partial to the Windows layout and "Start" buttons, and i like to switch between visual themes...I have three themes, Raspbian, Kali, and Veil) If you are gonna turn the Pi3 into an overclocked Desktop PC, make it look awesome! Right?

(If you want to customize and modify/change your look, or theme, see: viewtopic.php?p=969008#p969008)

VEIL


Raspbian


The easiest way I have found is get an oversized heatsink, and fan.... Cpuburn-a53 is designed to heat up the pi3, and I can run it with ease overclocked @ 1.3 Ghz, and thermals never exceed 50C. I can run Stress at 38C, Sysbench at 37C, and Idle at 26C... Whether you are overclocked or not, If you have an overheating issue, this is how to resolve it.

EDIT
1.3 GHz overclock failed on Linpack, so arm overclock reduced to a more stable 1.26 GHz.


The heatsink pictured below is custom machined for me by a friend (I have two of them), and is made of anodized aluminum. The outside dimensions are L.87" x W.96" x H.70", and the centered 'socket' on the bottom is L.66" x W.66" and .010" deep.




You may be able to order custom sized Aluminum heatsinks, for example:
https://store-ddfcc.mybigcommerce.com/c ... 0sehsi41h1

The cooling fan is 12v 70mm x 70mm x 10mm, and sells pretty much everywhere for around $4 - $7 or so. It runs quietly on the GPIO 5V rail.

The case is the "official" pi3 case, which runs $8. (fan itself is removable, and is held in place with Velcro-like fasteners. An 18 pack of Scotch 3M reclosable fasteners runs like $4)

Is the 12v fan quiet? Does it efficiently cool the pi3?

Fan Push or Pull, which is better???

Overclocked "Hot Rod Pi3 Extreme"


Under the hood:




Stable Overclock (utilizing the below tests):
(add to /boot/config.txt above 'gpu_mem=')

Code: Select all

dtparam=sd_overclock=100
arm_freq=1260
core_freq=500
over_voltage=4
sdram_freq=575
sdram_schmoo=0x02000020
over_voltage_sdram_p=6
over_voltage_sdram_i=4
over_voltage_sdram_c=4
v3d_freq=500
h264_freq=333

GPU memory is set to 192 (gpu_mem=192) which seems to provide the best performance if using the pi3 as a desktop with monitor.


If you want to test your pi3:

Why should you care if your overclock is stable, or not?
Unstable overclocks can eventually lead to premature hardware failure, malfunctions, crashes and data loss, as well as sdcard corruption.

If your Pi3 should freeze up, or otherwise become unresponsive during tests, DO NOT remove power, instead reboot with 'alt'+"sysrq"+"b" ('sysrq' is also known as 'prtscr' key). Hard reboots (where you unplug power, then plug it back in again) can result in data corruption!

Two things before you start, make sure you have the proper power supply, and some kind of cooling capability... fan and/or heatsink (preferably both).

Power supply for Pi3 (power draw when idle): Source
5.19 V 1.141 W
0.22 A 00006 mAh

Get yourself the official Pi3 power supply (5.1V 2.5A), or the 5.25V 2.4A power supply

Code: Select all

while true; do vcgencmd measure_clock arm; vcgencmd measure_temp; sleep 10; done& stress -c 4 -t 900s

CPUBURN-A53: !!Run cpuburn-a53 with caution if your pi3 insufficiently cooled!!
(Test is "PASSED" if you do not throttle back, or exceed 79C within a 15min span. Exceeding 79C, and overheating/throttling, OR Pi3 crash indicates a "FAIL". Will also verify whether your power supply is adequate or not). A properly cooled pi3 can run this between 50C-79C.

LINPACK Bench: (set "gpu_mem=" to 64 prior to run, and reboot after install)
(tests stability, performs computations, if you overclock, and it is flawed, test will fail or crash. set 'gpu_mem" to 48 prior to test for optimal results). Stock Pi3 at 1.2 GHz passes this at 6 Gflops (may require a small voltage boost in /config.txt "over_voltage=1"), a stable overclocked Pi3 at 1.26 GHz passes at around 6.6 Gflops (multiple back to back tests with same Gflop result to determine stability).

Building a BOM for heatsink and fans for UK based people.

23x23mm, a lot larger than 15x15mm of the CPU, will it fit fine?

http://cpc.farnell.com/ebm-papst/252-2n ... 0000009759

12v, it will fit, but pricey. Also worry the inrush current may be too much to use the 5V header on the Pi.

Thoughts? Any other good sources to buy HS&F?

As for the fan current, should be fine. It isnt gonna run it at 12V...it will run it at 5V (or you can even try the 3V header). It is a tiny fan (25mm x 8mm)...approx 1/3 the size of the fan I use (70mm x 10mm @ approx 0.2 A), what are you mounting it on?

70mm x 10mm


as for the heatsink...

If you compare your specs (L .91" W .91" H .39" ) to the specs of the one in this image (L .87" W .96" H.70"), you will notice is only slightly longer. You may want to reconsider though, as the height is not much and thus provides less of a cooling area, which may render it less effective.

Imagine the heatsink in image shown below as more rectangular (instead of square)...slightly longer (+.04"), less wide (-0.5"), and less then half as high (-0.31").

There is room, so you can make the length work (if you offset it forward a little towards the USB/Ethernet). Measure the area around the SoC and see.

L .87" W .96" H.70"

my own current trials
i found some rather good ideas including a case like this offered for sale on ebay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Transparent-Cle ... 1727422137

not affliated with those case sellers but i'm looking for a thermal solution for pi 3 too

i'm using a heat sink similar to this

i used one that is somewhat oversized with dimensions 25mmx27mmx7mm
the thing would be that 1'd need to be careful not to short components around a somewhat large oversized heatsink

currently i'm making do with passive cooling - i.e. no fan
but i may instead get one of those boxes with fan like the above ebay link

i've done some tests

without a heat sink, pi 3 actually run fine for those 'single threaded' jobs
e.g. play h264 mp4 HD 1080p movies using omxplayer only reaches 52deg C
a single thread linpack stabilise at around 60deg C
http://www.netlib.org/benchmark/linpackc.new
gcc -O3 -o linpack linpack.c -lm -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=neon-vfpv4 -mcpu=cortex-a8

however, if 4 concurrent linpack is run it quickly reach about 82 deg C in less than a minute and the cpu throttles to 600mhz

after installing the heatsink, no fan - passive cooling
i've been able to run 4 concurrent linpack and the temperature gradually increase from 48deg - 79deg over 14 minutes
i terminate the experiment when the temperature reaches 79 deg
Sun 18 Dec 07:11:53 UTC 2016 @ raspberrypi
-------------------------------------------
GPU => temp=48.3'C
CPU => 48'C
freq => frequency(45)=1200000000
Sun 18 Dec 07:26:09 UTC 2016 @ raspberrypi
-------------------------------------------
GPU => temp=79.0'C
CPU => 78'C
freq => frequency(45)=1199998000

the experiment did not reach 'steady state' as temperature is continually rising but much more gradual compared without heatsink.

throughout the 14 minutes, i've got 4 concurrent linpack processes crunching 1000x1000 matrices non-stop and it does not throttle the frequency, frequency remains at 1.2Ghz for all that 14 minutes of intensive computation.

while linpack is a synthetic benchmark, i'd think it is quite possible to reach such temperatures realistically, examples may be cases of video transcoding if the transcoder runs concurrent parallel transcoding threads

then to further achieve 'steady state' i'd think a fan is needed. however, for the occasional high (concurrent parallel) loads i'd think passive cooling is still a rather sensible solution.

i used a 'big' heat sink and this keeps temperature low for a rather long time (14 mins) during the intense load. however, a large heat sink also tend to cool slower when load is removed due to the bulk

script for monitoring temperatures & frequencies
#!/bin/bash
cpu=$(</sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp)

echo "CPU => $((cpu/1000))'C"

[ejolson]

while linpack is a synthetic benchmark, i'd think it is quite possible to reach such temperatures realistically, examples may be cases of video transcoding if the transcoder runs concurrent parallel transcoding threads

For me a synthetic benchmark is a short program that doesn't solve a real problem.

In a way solving a randomly generated system of linear equations is synthetic and takes about 100 lines of C code to fully implement. The fact that linear algebra computations occur in scientific computing has led to a multi-vendor effort to write performance-optimized code. The result typically runs 10 to 100 times faster but also takes significantly more lines. In this case hpl is around 34 thousand lines and after including the OpenBLAS subroutine library totals 3 million. Given how much performance improvement can be achieved, already optimized subroutine libraries are convenient when comparing the performance of computer hardware.

In addition to video encoding, another area where optimized subroutine libraries exist that could be used for benchmarking computer hardware is encryption. Note, however, that many of these algorithms were actually designed with the instruction sets of certain CPUs in mind, so the comparisons aren't always as fair.

We are even getting to the point where web browsers contain significant amounts of optimized code. This can be demonstrated by comparing the difference in speed of Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox when rendering complicated a JavaScript page on identical hardware. From the users point of view, the hardware is as fast as the fastest web browser which runs on it. A modern web browser for the Pi would simultaneously use all four cores and might generate enough heat to require a heatsink.

Currently most Pi 3's are running a 32-bit version of Raspbian that is binary compatible with the single core ARMv6 architecture. While such code runs slower than software optimized for the multi-core ARMv8 architecture, the advantage is that a heatsink is often not required to prevent throttling.

I've been using a lot of the information from here for my own cooling testing project. I wanted to drop a little some scripts to help out with testing that I've been using

This one reformats the measure_temp output to display in Celsius and Fahrenheit.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
tm=`/opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_temp`
tc=`echo $tm| cut -d '=' -f2 | sed 's/..$//'`
tf=$(echo "scale=2;((9/5) * $tc) + 32" |bc)
cs=`/opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_clock arm`
echo temp = $tc\°C \($tf\°F\)
echo clock = $cs

This one for executing tests and grabbing the temps/clock without using an infinite loop.

Code: Select all

trap 'pkill -P "$pid"' SIGINT	#to terminate stress if shell is cancelled

stress -c 4 -t 1800 &		#runs test as background process
pid=$!				#captures PID of test
while kill -0 $pid; do		#runs the loop until the PID of the test is gone (test finishes or script cancelled)
vcgencmd measure_temp
vcgencmd measure_clock arm
sleep 5
done

Hey Rive, don't want to jack your thread, but it's the one that consistently comes up when searching for Raspberry Pi cooling.

I set out on a quest to find a similar heatsink and managed to find one from here that fits and has supporting test data to show it's actually an efficient cooler. I was concerned with clearance between the bottom of the cooler and the board, so I picked up a hunk of copper from this fleBay sale. The surface of the plate was pretty wavy, so, after I cut out a 30x30mm chunk, I spent some time (read as about 3 hours) following the lapping process and got it pretty flat. I used Arctic Alumina thermal adhesive to fix the plate to the heatsink and then the heatsink assembly to the CPU. I've ran some tests and I'm pretty happy with the results. I'm using a LEGO case I built to help with funneling the air from my fan, more on that in this thread.
