This is great, but the other guy deserves recognition too.

He fed it with 1.8V from his vga's memory circuitry which is also awesome idea, without buying evga untouchables.

Both results are awesome, keep us up to date. Interesting to see where the limits are :).

He sure does :) Also one of the sources to make the Epower work properly(not solder to wrong points).

I tried first with a voltage divider with a pack of resistors, which also worked, but couldn't regulate the voltage, it went from 5v to 1.66v.

Hello,

 

I'm a french student in IT and I'm just beginning in OC.

I have a question: Is the OS important in the overclicking of the RPI?

If yes, what is the best OS?

 

Regards,

Hopetech

 

PS: Sorry for my english.

Since the Raspberry uses no actual bios, you need an OS that has one, like Raspbian or Pidora, which are both meant for the Raspberry pi. Personally I would use Raspbian, because I think it works and handles well. If you are doing it for Hwbot Prime, don't forget to install Java JDK 8. It can be a pain to install in some cases tho.

Thanks for the answer.

I thought a lightweight OS such as archlinux or gentoo used fewer resources and thus improving performance.

Last question: Did you tweak raspbian?

My knowledge of linux in general is very slim, so I didn't do more than what is told in this topic:http://forum.hwbot.org/showthread.php?t=88888

Apearently, someone was able to bypass the 2GHz wall for me in the Raspbian core.

Tested last night:
