I have a pi2, I think I got to 1100mhz with a small Intel fan (i386 era)

the fan was only to reassure me that the Pi won't explode lol

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

i should overclock my rPI B+ lol. anyway the rPI3 tends to get really freaking hot from what i know so used some cooling atleast and watch the temps

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

Spoiler

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

temps are largely not a problem, SOCs in phones can run pretty hot without any problems.

 

though cooler is always better.

i just remember something about the rPI3 beeing a pretty hot chip, and phones use the case as cooling too

plastic isn't that great of a heat sink ;) if it were my pi I would overclock the balls off it. I once turned off all the thermal protection on my htc one x, overclocked it to 1.8 GHZ and put it in a fridge.

 

it was sitting at 98c 2c before thermal cut out. Antutu scores were beastly though lol
