Pieter-Jan Plaisier stated, 'I'm a tech enthusiast and enjoy playing around with all kinds of chips, seeing how [much] performance we can squeeze out of them.' His passion drives experimentation beyond typical CPUs.
Plaisier expressed, 'I was hoping it would scale like regular desktop chips with lower temperatures and higher voltages, maybe even getting to 5 GHz, but unfortunately got stuck at 3.6 GHz.' His experience highlights the limitations of the Raspberry Pi 5.
Despite achieving 3,600 MHz at ambient temperatures, attempts to push it beyond that, including cooling to -40°C, yielded the same frequency cap, raising questions about voltage scaling.
Plaisier took the 'warranty-voiding step' of connecting a special power card to the Pi, seeking better control over power supply, showing the lengths enthusiasts will go to for performance.
