Just pushed the Rockchip RK3588 on Orange Pi 5 Max to 3454 MHz under liquid nitrogen! ❄️

That’s +42% perf overall, up to ~80% in some workloads.

Thanks ChatGPT!

Took me only a day or two to put together an RK3588 telemetry tool for my Orange Pi 5 Max with the help of AI.

I recently came across a Lynnfield P55 overclocking guide I wrote for MSI back in 2009.

Republished on my blog as a keepsake.

I'd like to believe my guides are much better now :)
