How to overclock 5b+ in Android System

#1

Hi, as the title says is it really possible to overclock 5b+ in Android?
I saw a post related to overclock under Linux but not a single info in Android.

Is it advisable/ possible ? I want to do it because I feel like need more performance from 5b+, sometimes it struggles to keep up and need some time switching apps. I am running currently mo123 latest nvme Firmware, rooted with magisk.

Any ideas or guide is highly appreciated.

One more thing, I am getting automatic reboot after probably 1-2 hours of continuous movie watching. The board simply turns off and I get no signal message on TV. I have to finally switch off and on the 5b+ to continue watch the movie further… Is it related to the board performance??? Or is my board defect ? From mo123 I didn’t get any response, I will assume that it’s not firmware related…

Thanks in advance.

What is your power supply and is the board getting enough cooling?

I have Samsung Phone Power charger(5v 3A, 9V 3A, 15V 3A & 20V 2.25A) with Radxa Fan as cooling unit attached with Aluminium base in direct contact with CPU.

Is it possible ? if yes how far i can go without damaging the CPU functionality and how do i do it ?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

I don’t know if it’s possible. The power supply looks good but you might have better luck with a random different one.

What do you mean with random different one? Should I go for different power adapter ?

#6

Just try another one, you never know if it works better or worse until you try. Is the fan spinning at all?

Yes it spins. But what are the codes to overclock it ?

I have no idea. On Linux you can modify opp tables in the device tree. Not sure how android works.
