Recalbox 7.2.2 Overclock

[MrGamer]

Hi all,
i have a GPI Case with Recalbox 7.2.2
Is there somewhere a menu for overlock as described in the wiki? Or is there another way to overklock?

Best Regards

@zing : you mean with config.txt?
There i see the following:

overclocking settings are automatically managed in this file

do not remove this line, nor edit the file

include recalbox-oc-config.txt

and in this file i see

No overclocking

But no clue what to enter here

@mrgamer

you mean with config.txt?

That's what the documentation says, but you're right:

recalbox-oc-config.txt

The documentation is out of date and we are working on new documentation, so the information is not as accurate.
The correct file is recalbox-oc-config.txt

We can't provide accurate overclocking support, it's a risky procedure that the user needs to be aware of (and need to use heatsink at least in the case of GPI case that doesn't have space for a fan).

@zing Thanks for the link!
I totally understand that you can not provide here any tips and i am aware of the risk. But ok, at least i can loose 15€ for a new pi zero not nice but could be more
How is the usage of this file? Same parameters which i would put into config.txt?

Thanks and Best regards

i am aware of the risk

I am always careful to make this very clear as some user may read this in the future and I don't want to be held responsible for trying to help someone...

“I am envious of you", unfortunately in my country these boards are much more expensive, so I only have an Rpi3.

How is the usage of this file? Same parameters which i would put into config.txt?

Exactly, both the recalbox-oc-config.txt file and the recalbox-user-config.txt file have the "same usage" as the config.txt file, with the difference of keeping the values after a system update (the config file .txt is updated along with the system and loses all customizations).

@zing 15€ is only for Pi Zero. The other ones are also much more expensive. Here i am much more carefull. This pains a bit
thanks for your help!

Yes, it’s under “Advanced Settings”. I think that’s the name….I promise it says “Advanced” somewhere at least
