Overclocking

By factory default the cpu is clocked at 480 MHz and the Ram at 240 MHz. Overclocking at CPU 532 MHz /
Ram 266 MHz can be achieved with these commands in a Telnet/SSH session :
• nvram set clkfreq=532,266
• nvram get clkfreq [to verify]
• nvram commit && reboot
Note :
• Not recommended: instability issues can arise from overclocking / overheating
• See also Overclocking BCM 47xx CPU's for more info
Adding a heat sink or fan to the SoC is recommended
•
