Can you please post;
1. - overclocking settings you use
2. - what image you use (Xbian, openElec....)
3. - Noticeable performance/issues
Looking forwarding to pushing my little pi

very nice - what build is this? xbian, raspbmc, openElec???steev wrote:I'm using:
arm_freq=900
core_freq=350
sdram_freq=500
No overvolt
Seems a bit snappier
Haven't had any issues with these settings so far (YMMV)

Wow nice! what's the difference? between forced and dynamic?notarat wrote:I'm running forced overclocking (not dynamic/Turbo/whatever it's called)
arm_freq=950
core_freq=450
sdram_freq=500
No overvolt.
I'm using this on my 256 pi runs smooth on openelec dynamic overclockstevhorn5 wrote:OpenElec

Wow that's pretty impressive, I would be worried that my pi wouldnt last too long with such an overvolting!!TheSinding wrote:My setup is
arm_freq=1100
core_freq=500
isp_freq=500
sdram_freq=500
over_voltage=6
And on Raspbmc..
When i first got the device I was really disappointed of the preformance, so I put on a heat shink and overclocked it.. Now im really happy with it. It runs smoothly @1100Mhz, with around 57C when I watch 1080p @24 frames, and DTS sound
Yeah I know. I might go and tweak it a little, to see if I can get higher Mhz with lower voltage.Wow that's pretty impressive, I would be worried that my pi wouldnt last too long with such an overvolting!!
Well what I did was, I found a old graphics card with a passive heat sink, then I messured the chips on the raspberry pi. Now knowing the diamentions of the chips, I then took a hacksaw and cut the aluminiums heat sink to the correct size of the two chips, put on some thermalpaste and put on the heat sinks..can you recommend a heat sink for that?
The problem wasn´t the playback of mkv files, my raspberry pi runs that fine even at 700Mhz, the problem for me was the menu navigation.I am using OpenELEC and using the config.txt like this
force_turbo = 0
arm_freq=840 (this is the value from xbian)
core_freq=375 (this is also the value from xbian)
sdram_freq=400
over_voltage=0
Now it plays 1080p DTS 5.1 MKV from server without problem
Incorrect. I can run forced overclock 24/7 as long as I don't overvolt.BadBoyBubby wrote:I'm using this on my 256 pi runs smooth on openelec dynamic overclockstevhorn5 wrote:OpenElec

Difference between dynamic and forced apart from warranty being void when using forced.
Forced = runs overclocked all the time
Dynamic = overclocks when required

Yes, very same problem, it annoys the hell out of me. Even the mouse pointer lags.TheSinding wrote:The problem wasn´t the playback of mkv files, my raspberry pi runs that fine even at 700Mhz, the problem for me was the menu navigation.
It was sooooooooooo laggy and everything took aloooong time to do.
Then after I overclocked it the menus runs smoothly..
I dont know if thats just my problem or what..
Can anyone comfirm that its laggy in the menus?
Why? There a list of various valid OC settings above - do we need any more? You can keep trying settings, best I've heard of is 1.2Ghz, you won't break it, but not everyone will get that far.x7dude wrote:BUMP
Lets see if we can't get this thread active again. What OC settings have you guys had successful with?
No need for heatsinks, won't make any difference. Chip was designed not to need them.x7dude wrote: I've experienced the same super laggy menu navigation that some of the other guys mentioned, but OCing is helping make it snappier! Haven't pushed it too far yet however, waiting for heatsinks to get here from DX.com (great store if you're outside the US, free shipping makes even small orders do-able), and wanted to get a feel for how far y'all have managed to push yours (I'm running Xbian beta1.1 on a model B 512mb).
