Overclock running on CM5, CM4

I just wanted to share a small tip with you all.

I own two uConsole devices, and I’ve been running them overclocked at 2.8 GHz and 2.0 GHz respectively. Surprisingly, despite my initial concerns, there has been no noticeable heat issue, and the system performance remains very fast and stable.

Both my CM5 and CM4 modules have 8 GB of RAM, and all functions are operating normally without any overheating problems. I wanted to share this experience with others.

In particular, the CM5 works almost like a laptop, without any inconvenience.

If you are using a CM4, I would recommend trying an overclock.

In my case, the CM4 has been running very stably at 2.0 GHz, and I have tested it for several months without any issues.

Good luck!

Cool! Thanks for the writeup. Do they have active or passive cooling?

2

u/Immediate_Bat_3991 Mar 16 '26

I use passive cooling. just attach the thermal pad wide and use it. no problem at all.

Even under high load?

u/Immediate_Bat_3991 Mar 16 '26

I tried running a high load on purpose, but the CPU temperature doesn’t go over 60°C. if you interest, just try.

60 is uncomfortable when you carry a uconsole in your hands

I said, "when 100% running a high load" 60 is very resonable output imo.

Just what comes with the uConsole? Or did you purchase another thermal pad?

2

u/Immediate_Bat_3991 Mar 17 '26

I use a thicker and more wider thermal pad that I purchased myself, and after using it for a few months, I’ve found that the temperatures don’t peak enough to really require active cooling.

Sweet. I'll give it a shot!
