logoHow 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>
