Overclock config.

Steady running on Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) armv7l, host Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus Rev 1.3 without any issue for 6 months so far.

CPU temperature(with fan): About 50°C at idle, about 65°C at long run full load.

**Note: For this particular config, cooling measure like cooling fan is a must, to avoid overheat. **

For more details like performance benchmark, check Overclocking for Raspberry Pi 3 Model B

# Some settings may impact device functionality. See link above for details
# uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default "safe" mode
#hdmi_safe=1
# uncomment this if your display has a black border of unused pixels visible
# and your display can output without overscan
#disable_overscan=1
# uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console
# goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border
#overscan_left=16
#overscan_right=16
#overscan_top=16
#overscan_bottom=16
# uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display's size minus
# overscan.
#framebuffer_width=1280
#framebuffer_height=720
# uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output
#hdmi_force_hotplug=1
# uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)
#hdmi_group=1
#hdmi_mode=1
# uncomment to force a HDMI mode rather than DVI. This can make audio work in
# DMT (computer monitor) modes
#hdmi_drive=2
# uncomment to increase signal to HDMI, if you have interference, blanking, or
# no display
#config_hdmi_boost=4
# uncomment for composite PAL
#sdtv_mode=2
arm_freq=1500
# default 1400
core_freq=450
# default 400
# Frequency of the GPU processor core in MHz, influences CPU performance because it drives the L2 cache and memory bus; the L2 cache benefits only Pi Zero/Pi Zero W/ Pi 1, there is a small benefit for SDRAM on Pi 2/Pi 3.
over_voltage=6
# default 0
# CPU/GPU core voltage adjustment. The value should be in the range [-16, 8] which equates to the range [0.8V, 1.4V] with 0.025V steps. In other words, specifying -16 will give 0.8V as the GPU/core voltage, and specifying 8 will give 1.4V. For defaults see table below. Values above 6 are only allowed when force_turbo is specified
sdram_freq=550
# default 500
# Frequency of the SDRAM in MHz. SDRAM overclocking on Pi 4B is not currently supported.
# Uncomment some or all of these to enable the optional hardware interfaces

# Uncomment this to enable infrared communication.
