nikkoaki Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I remember that the maximum frequency was 1296Mhz back with Xenial, with kernel 3.x. It even says here Quote "It's rated to run at 1.296GHz, anything higher is overclocking (and usually overvolting). If you run it without heatsink, fan and proper dvfs settings, you risk overheating." Heat is not a problem since i have a large heatsink and temperature controlled fan, i was just curious about why the max frequency was bumped to 1368Mhz on the newer builds. What's the rationale behind it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
