Water cooled Raspberry Pi

If your Raspberry Pi is running a bit hot you can add a few hunks of salvaged heat sink, or you can go all out and machine your own water cooling system.

With the exception of the tiny pump itself, this one’s a fully custom job.

It uses the power pins on the GPIO header to drive the pump.

Raspberry Pi owners are also now being offered support if they want to overclock their boards. Ritter told the audience that the organisation will now honour the warranty for overclocking up to 1Ghz.

“There are people who’ve overclocked them to 1.2Ghz, but they run into problems with memory access and it becomes very unstable,” he said.

Raspberry Pi gets a 1GHz turbo mode
http://www.geek.com/articles/chips/raspberry-pi-gets-a-1ghz-turbo-mode-20120919/

You can choose which turbo mode preset you use, but most people will just opt for the highest which takes your Pi ARM processor to 1GHz. And it is worth it. Benchmark tests run using the new turbo-enabled image and nbench show a 50-60% improvement in memory, floating point, and integer operations.

The updated Raspian image (which already offered a major speed improvement) also comes with a few other niceties. The first is a reduction in the rate of USB interrupts to improve performance. WiFi should now work by default, analogue audio will sound better, and SmartSim (digital circuit designer) and PenguinsPuzzle (3D physics puzzle game) are installed as standard.

Altogether it makes for a very compelling update everyone who owns a Raspberry Pi would do well to stick on a memory card and start using.
