How to overclock Pi 3 ?

[douglasby]

I went to raspi-config and found out that it is not possible to overclock the Pi3 like it was with earlier models.

At least that's what it said-is there a way to overclock the Pi3?

Thanks

I assume raspi-config only gives you 'allowed' overclocks that do not void warranty.
Or at least I remember something like that when they 'allowed' up to 1GHz on the B+

I seem to recall that raspi-config told me it was not possible to over clock the Pi 3.

It's a bad idea anyway, the thing runs far to hot without a heatsink already. The heatsink I have on mine is still not sufficient to keep it cool enough to avoid throttling when loaded.

I recommend to read this article: http://aikoncwd.github.io/rpi-benchmark/ (made by me, lol).

You will find a small but powerfull benchmark script to measure how your overclock settings are boosting your RPi, also you can see the temperature on each test. At the end of the article you will find a perfect config.txt for RPi3 and RPi2, to max the overclock without damagin the hardware or warranty.

Thanks very much, AikonCWD that's very useful.
