I'm using RetrOrangePi, which was built upon Armbian Jessie and is RetroArch based. Let's say, I can tolerate some eventual crashes, and also prepared if my board burns in the future ... But now you get me concerned about the SD, thanks for advising... Actually my initial idea was to not completely disable throttling, just the DRAM throttling, but couldn't figure out how to do it.

I've changed the parameter ths_used to "0", now no CPU throttling and DDR frequency reduction occurs anymore. Yes, it's hot as hell. I shouldn't answer my own post, by maybe someone is also interested in this

Hello! Is there any way to config the frequency used by the DRAM driver when throttling takes place, or even better, disable the DRAM throttling at all? First of all, I have to say that that I'm pushing my Orange Pi Zero H3 board to run at very hot temperatures due to my CPU throttling settings so I can play some retro arcade games (I know I may burn it). But it seems the DRAM driver has its own throttling settings, and it takes place reducing DRAM frequency to 132Mhz. At such DRAM frequency there is flickering at HDMI output.

Unfortunately, manually setting the DRAM frequency don't work either. I mean, when I send the command, the frequency don't change. sudo echo 480000 >/sys/devices/platform/sunxi-ddrfreq/devfreq/sunxi-ddrfreq/cur_freq
