• Raspberry Pi 5 with a stable power supply (at least 15W recommended)
• Adequate cooling system (heatsink, fan, or liquid cooling)
• Latest version of Raspberry Pi OS (preferably 64-bit)
• SSH access or direct terminal access to the Pi
• Familiarity with terminal commands

Risks include overheating, instability, and reduced hardware lifespan.

• Cooling solutions like heatsinks and fans.
• Thermal paste for better thermal conductivity.
• Tools like vcgencmd for monitoring temperatures.

1. Update your system with:

   sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
   sudo rpi-update

2. Backup your data before proceeding with overclocking.
3. Ensure your cooling system is adequate to keep the temperature below 40°C during idle.

1. Edit the config file:

   sudo nano /boot/firmware/config.txt

2. Add the following settings:

   arm_freq=3000
   over_voltage_delta=60000
   usb_max_current_enable=1

3. Reboot with:

   sudo reboot

1. Check CPU frequency:

   vcgencmd measure_clock arm

2. Monitor temperatures using:

   vcgencmd measure_temp

3. Run a stress test:

   sudo apt install stress
   stress --cpu 4 --timeout 600

If temperatures exceed 85°C under load, consider:

• Installing larger fans or upgrading the cooling system.
• Lowering the overclock or overvoltage settings.

• If you encounter crashes, reduce the arm_freq setting.
• Check for adequate airflow in your setup.
