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?

#7

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

#8

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