Raspberry PI – speeding things up!
How to put your Raspberry PI in TURBO Mode?
You can make your Raspberry PI much faster by ‘overclocking’
(no warranty, try it at your own risk!)
- To check at which frequency your PI is running now type:
vcgencmd get_config arm_freq
Note:
Overclocking might corrupt the data on your SD card so make sure you have a backup of it!
So here is how you do it:
- Make sure your system software is up-to-date:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade - Run the Raspberry PI config utility:
sudo raspi-config
Choose the last option in the list:
update (Try to upgrade raspi-config)
Click <Finish> - The config utility will start again
This time choose:
overclock (Configure overclocking)
Choose:
Turbo (1000MHz ARM, 500MHz core, 600MHz SDRAM, 6 overvolt)
(or a different frequency if you prefer)
Click <Ok>
Click <Finish>
Click <Reboot>
