Overclocking on the Pi

We have already talked about [this](https://misapuntesde.com/post.php?id=219) [twice](https://misapuntesde.com/post.php?id=225) on this blog. The [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overclock) explain as *the process of making a computer or component operate faster than the clock frequency specified by the manufacturer by modifying system parameters.*


It is a fascinating world that not all people make a practice. The *Raspberry Pi Foundation* allows us to implement a default oc setting from the application *raspi-config*.

In my case I always have the Raspi overclocked to **950 Mhz**, but I have two sinks and allows me some peace of mind.

Today I read in the *pg32spain.com* forums that the user *JoJo_ReloadeD* has come to put the **CPU to 1133 Mhz** with this same system.

Hot spots in the Raspberry Pi

Curious detailed heat released in the power connector.

The values in the *config.txt* file are:


arm_freq=1133
core_freq=400
sdram_freq=600
over_voltage=12 # Although in theory the maximum value is 8, 12 also works ;)
over_voltage_sdram=8

I put the link to read the thread if you are interested. Have you ever tried to overclock your Pi *in extremis*?
