Xbian overclock presets [RPi 4B]

[kenuser]

Hi ,
my Raspberry Pi 4B has a passive aluminium cooler "enclosure". I use it as audio kodi server (no video stream).
With no overclock, sometimes during reproduction big .flac files the player stop working for somes seconds, so I little overclocked adding to /boot/config.txt:

Code:

arm_freq=900
core_freq=400
sdram_freq=400
over_voltage=0

and it's better but no perfect. The temperature is ok:

Terminal

root@xbian ~ # vcgencmd measure_temp
temp=39.0'C

Now, using xbian-config command and choosing -> Settings -> System -> Overclocking a window appear with advice:

Terminal

Xbian has tested different overclocking settings and created a most preferable combination of settings

but ones closed the advice I see no presets to choose, there are only two options to manually insert.
My question is how to load the tested overclocking settings combinations? And which you use as good compromise?
Thank you

This can't be a Raspberry Pi 4B you're talking about

So which is the best overclock setting compromise speed/temp you're tested for raspberry pi 4?

[Nachteule]

The Raspberry Pi 4 is now only on standby for me.
When I was still developing/testing with it, I always had

Code:

arm_freq=1800
arm_freq_min=400
over_voltage=2

in use

In my opinion overclocking doesn't make sense anymore

Xbian’s overclocking presets should appear in `/etc/xbian/overclock.conf`. If they don’t, update your system:

```bash
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo reboot
```

For better FLAC playback, manually set in `/boot/config.txt`:
```ini
arm_freq=1750
core_freq=600
gpu_freq=600
over_voltage=2
sdram_freq=500
```
Then reboot:
```bash
sudo reboot
```

Your cooling is good, so this should be stable. Let me know if issues persist!

Xbian used to provide predefined overclocking settings, but on the Pi 4, this feature might not work correctly due to differences in firmware. That’s why you only see manual entry options in xbian-config.

So which is the best overclock setting compromise speed/temp you're tested for raspberry pi 4?

Overclocking a Raspberry Pi 4 can definitely boost performance, but it comes with trade-offs in temperature, power usage, and long-term stability. If You're Using Passive Cooling or No Fan:
Try this more conservative setting:

PHP Code:

over_voltage=4
arm_freq=1850
gpu_freq=550 


It's still a solid boost over the stock 1.5 GHz and runs cooler.

Consider increasing arm_freq and over_voltage incrementally while monitoring temperature. Ensure adequate passive cooling for the overclocked settings. You might also investigate Kodi audio settings or try a lightweight distribution. Block Blast
