        Does it happen also if you don't overclock ?

            Hi again. I have a generic powersupply 5v2.5a and a retroflagcase. I have a similar overclock too.

            I get the undervoltage warning every once in a while, it is more consistent with the microusb being loose on the back.

            Also I guess some boards have different sdram, I have an element14.
            With those settings
            The sdram_freq=550 will crash without
            sdram_over_voltage_p=6
            sdram_over_voltage_i=3
            sdram_over_voltage_c=3
            I think the voltage regulation is also a little more involved with the arm_freq and core_freq internal osc.

            And I might suggest sdram_freq=600 with that same voltage. As I said the voltage regulator is more involved with the internal osc; and the stability with the cpu that uses the memory. With those settings it will run nice.

                just get my pi freeze on the start.


                SO
                I did no OVERCLOCK at all !!!!
                still get the "undervoltage detected" ....
                Going crazy for it !
                I guess it is the CASE ??
                GODDAM
                I really hate nespicase flag shit !

                  Oh. I'm sorry. I don't know what went wrong. There was another pi3b+ where 500 was the suggested maximum clock that the sdram could use. They are from different distributors so I guess there is always individual scenarios. I apologize.

                      I just remembered there was a thing with my over_voltage sdram and the retroflag case and I didn't understand what caused it.

                      When I used any over_voltage_sdram in config it was always ignored.
                      This could have been a few things, I remember.

                      If you set over_voltage_sdram>2 and then paste this into cmd line what do the voltages read for you?
                      for id in core sdram_c sdram_i sdram_p ; do echo -e "$id:\t$(vcgencmd measure_volts $id)"; done
                      I think also you will need to be doing some task emulation or force_turbo enabled for the over_clock to be in effect when that command reads it.

                        Just made a small hole to connect the power by itself works perfect
                        thanks anyway :)
