Best Method to Test OC on Pi 2 - Raspian?

[Bananaguns]

I am trying to see what the max stable over clock configuration is, but right now I'm doing this the obvious way,

Code: Select all

nano /boot/config

And changing frequency that way, which is fine... When it works. However if it doesn't then I have to go back to the computer and re-burn the raspbian image and start over.

I know on the banana pi you cab echo the values you want to test then if they cause a freeze or are otherwise unstable the values reset when you reboot but I can't find the equivalent files on raspbian. Any ideas?

Right now I'm pretty content with

Code: Select all

 arm_freq=1120
core_freq=500
sdram_freq=500
over_voltage=6
gpu_mem=128
temp_limit=70

But I'm still curious how far I can push it

That's pretty fast TBH, doubt you will get much more than that given the chips rating at 900.

Mine doesn't like to go over 1050MHz, it starts misbehaving pretty quickly.

Can u start process load for all SOC departments at same time. Full cpu load. Full gpu. Full hardware video accelerator. U can test SOC heat with this.
