since solving my usb issue had some time to play around

i have these products on my rpi-4 board

1: argon 1 fan hat  
2: [Raspberry Pi 4 Heatsink | Pimoroni | Core Electronics Australia](https://core-electronics.com.au/pimoroni-raspberry-pi-4-heatsink.html)  
3: [ModMyPi 40 Pin Extra Tall Header (Push Fit Version) | Core Electronics Australia](https://core-electronics.com.au/modmypi-40-pin-extra-tall-header-push-fit-version.html)

i edit the config.txt file set arm\_freq=2250  
set over\_voltage=9  
bumped power supply to 5.2 volts at the regulator output have not checked the board voltage i`m assuming now it`s getting at least the required 5.1 volts cable length is approx 30 cm at 18 gauge  
my cpu is sitting pretty stable so far at 2300 also from the panel i added the temp meter… its hovering around between 36 and 45 deg`s i`m only browsing atm and only have this window open … at first it hung but i then adjusted my power supply…it has made the difference getting it running so far…  
i checked the cpu speeds with command line code and yes verified 2300… every time…

> cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo\_max\_freq  
> this reads the code from the config.txt basically.or what the cpu max factory setting may be…and is not indicative of current cpu speed/s

The real time speed is this line of code…from what i have found to be truest…shows all four cores as well at the same time…for checking cpu-freq…

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu\*/cpufreq/scaling\_cur\_freq

EDIT: i now have about 10 or so open browsers and the temp is up to 43 degs… i have seen so far …but soon drops back down to around 38-39…  
i have the fan hat working but will not start up after shutdown via the switch…and trip point speeds can be changed by editing the config file in the /etc directory.

Hey Brian,

Good to hear! Sounds like you are making progress!

depending on ambient room temp makes a difference as well with summer here it sits better at 2100
