Overclocking The New Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W

In this video I show you how to overclock the new Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W! I go over two different ways of overclocking first all on the Pi Zero 2 and second from a different PC. I recommend a heatsink of the Flirc case for the Pi Zero 2 W when overclocking but this defiantly helps out with performance! The Stock CPU speed on the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is 1.0GHz but we can easily overclock to 1.3GHz.

Pi Zero 2 W Flirc Case review:

Pi Zero 2 W 1.3GHz


arm_freq=1300
over_voltage=4

@1.4 with a small heatsink
arm_freq=1400
core_freq=525
over_voltage=6
gpu_freq=700
need 2.5A power supply

I like the look and price of this but having upgraded several RPI 3Bs to 4Bs I should utilise the spare 3Bs first.

Can't wait for it to be available in South Africa . As soon as I see it in the verified stores I'm going to buy one . Always wanted a pi but just to tinker so this super cheap one is just right for me

Love that you dont have to monitor the CPU from terminal anymore. Those applets are great features to the GUI of Raspberry Pi OS.

Useful for arcades that wants to do multiple emulations

Great video reminder about how to overclock a RPi. Results from the new Zero2W look promising, can't wait to get mine.

@ETA PRIME I put some heat sinks on the base also and with a very crude setup got
arm_freq=1350
over_voltage=4
I think we might see some novel cooling for the zero2 as the base pcb is a huge flat cooling area beneficial to the stacked SoC
So just a 2x covering all of the rear pcb and a small one on the top

It might be useful to show people how to increase the swap space on the Pi Zero 2 W. It could be helpful for running more demanding apps.

Excellent tutorial. Clear, concise and cut straight to the chase.

I have missed watching ETA talking about Raspberry Pi, this is why i fell in love with the channel 😁🔧 (and chinese handhelds)

[bcrispchannel]

Ordered mine yesterday. Already sold out today!

[trbdann]

Bought a zero2 today after yesterday's video!! and a bunch of fun stuff from Adafruit!

tinkering project time

[xBruceLeex]

These little guys look tempting, if only it had a little more ram

[GaryParks]

Flirc Case, Stock Pi3+ power supply. Tried compiling Vaulkin on it for 10min and got up to 72C with 100% load.

# Over Clock
arm_freq=1400

I would love a video for pi hole DNS if possible. Thanks

[RedMageGaming]

Just got one ordered, should arrive in a couple days! Don't plan on overclocking it, but it's going to live in my GPI Case, giving it just a little more oomph so It can better play the tougher SNES/GBA and play some PSX games that don't need l2/r2 input or joysticks. Super excited, not sure what I'll repurpose the old Zero W that's in it now to do yet~

[thejackofclubs]

you could have just opened the raspberry pi configuration panel and selected and overclock from the dropdown menu. its a lot easier.

[LelandHasGames]

Will you please just get this thing in the GPi Case already?!

[dishcleaner]

I’m at 1.2 ghz with no cooling in a plastic enclosure. Max temp so far is 73 C. No issues while browsing internet or watching YouTube.

The video uploaded on ETA prime is very helpful for studying. thank you~!
Thank you for watching this Raspberry Pi Zero 2 overclock experiment!
It's amazing that it performs better than the Raspberry Pi 3.
Could the battery life be longer than zero 1 by lowering the voltage and downclocking?
