Some said it couldn’t be done. In fact, *I* said it couldn’t be done, this morning!
Then I did it! Happy Pi Day, here are some resources if you want to try overclocking *your* Pi 5 beyond 3.0 GHz—but be warned, you will be running experimental firmware if you do this:
– https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/1876
– Argon THRML 60mm tower cooler: https://amzn.to/43gYmPM
– My video on Pi silicon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKrt1E5fxLg
And yes, Argon sent this particular unit to me, though I have another one I purchased separately at home. This video isn’t sponsored, and there are a variety of great cooling options that should work with most overclocks.
