Raspberry Pi 5 It is a powerful micro PC, for what it costs, but it is not designed to apply overclockingthat is, forcing it beyond its specifications.
The SkatterBencher expert has used liquid cooling, and has broken the speed record of Raspberry Pi 5, reaching 3.6 GHz. But he has encountered a wall, which has not allowed him to go further.
with a good overclocking It is possible to increase the CPU speed by 33%, but liquid nitrogen cooling does not contribute much.
Putting the Raspberry Pi 5 at 3.6 GHz
The Raspberry Pi 5 board is the fastest ever developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation. It has a 64-bit quad-core Arm Cortex-A76 CPU that operates at a frequency of 2.4 GHz.
Expert Jeff Geerling managed to overclock it to 3.4 GHz last July, without using liquid cooling. To do this, it used the most efficient Noctua fans, thermal pads, a special power supply, and other tricks.
Now SkatterBencher has tried it, using liquid nitrogen inserted through a tube placed over the CPU. You can see it here:
This expert managed to lower the temperature of the Raspberry Pi processor to 40 degrees below zero.
I was hoping to get a big speed boost, but It could only reach 3.6 GHzonly 200 Hz more than the option without liquid cooling. Every time I reached 3.7 GHz, the Raspberry Pi 5 would crash.
The conclusion is that The Raspberry Pi 5 has a blockage in the BIOS or in the chip itselfwhich causes it to reset when it exceeds 3.6 GHz. So, for now, it seems that the record is going to stay there.
Maybe Raspberry Pi 5 is not very suitable for the overclockingbut it has revolutionized single-board PCs, since it allows you to do things that could only be dreamed of with previous models, such as installing an SSD, or an artificial intelligence chip.
In addition, the stock problems are now over, and you can now get a Raspberry Pi 5 starting at 58 euros.
They have broken the speed record of the Raspberry Pi 5, using liquid nitrogen cooling. But you cannot go beyond 3.6 GHz, due to limitations of the hardware itself.
