Am I the only one that was disenchanted with the article? It was basically and advertisement for Elmor Labs and everything was “swap out a part for an Elmor part configured to do the same thing”.<p>The cooling was basically for show given the temperature- and voltage-independent scaling wall; the proper place to go would have been an ARM-based development house to use the debug tools, they’re certainly available.<p>I’m not a Pi guy and I don’t know if the dev samples/hal/device trees have been released yet, but another option is to set up a bare metal environment and bring up the clock buses one by one to a different multiplier and see if you can reproduce it manually executing neon instructions in a tight loop.

Can't wait for someone like kingpin or gamers nexus to try helium over clocking....<p>Iv been trying to keep an eye out for used LN2 tanks and dewars on different used places so I can grab one for cheap.<p>Always wanted to try making dip and dots at home, and going for insane PR's over clocking.
the ln2 pot looks quite ridiculous with the board, but to be fair it seems less complex to make it work due to "blank" pcb around the soc.<p>while not mentioned in the article, i wonder if deliding the soc (as done previously here - <a href="https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2024/new-2gb-pi-5-has-33-smaller-die-30-idle-power-savings" rel="nofollow">https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2024/new-2gb-pi-5-has-33-s...</a>) could help with this.
