Issue with Voltage Drop when Using Controlblock

[0mni]

I am using a Controlblock with a Raspberry PI 3 B. I have the Controlblock (http://petrockblog.storenvy.com/products/13969497-controlblock) plugged directly on top of the Raspberry Pi with the GPIO pins. I have the raspberry Pi overclocked in order to be able to run N64 Roms. Here is my current config.txt

arm_freq=1250
gpu_freq=500
v3d_freq=525
gpu_mem=256
core_freq=500
sdram_freq=500
sdram_schmoo=0x02000020
over_voltage=5
over_voltage_sdram=4

I am measuring the 5V from the GPIO pins (GND and one of the 5V).

With the Controlblock connected, and I run a simple stress test.

while true; do vcgencmd measure_clock arm; vcgencmd measure_temp; sleep 10; done& stress -c 4 -t 900s

I have tried this with two different power supplies.

With my 3.5A 18AWG 5V adapter I get the following results.

I measure around ~4.8 V with intermittent drops around ~4.7V and then rises above ~4.8V before it repeats. This causes the lighting bolt icon to appear on the screen and the clock speed to constantly drop/cycle.

When I have the Controlblock card removed, just the Raspberry PI, with the same settings/test.

I measure around 4.94V with intermittent drops to around 4.88V, with no lighting bolt.

With my 5.25V 2.4A adapter I get the following results.

I measure around ~4.9 V with intermittent drops around ~4.7V and then rises above ~4.9V before it repeats. This causes the lighting bolt icon to appear on the screen and the clock speed to constantly drop/cycle.

When I have the Controlblock card removed, just the Raspberry PI, with the same settings/test.

I measure around 4.96V and appears to be fairly steady.

I know why the lighting bolt appears, as it indicates a voltage issue when dropping below ~4.75V.

I am using Raspbian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) w/ Retropie 4.2 (issue occurred on 4.1 as well.)

You need a power supply with a little more amps to push the voltage

@space-cadet I have purchased three power supplies, all with increasing Amp and Voltage. If you have a power supply in mind that can push more than 5.25V at 2.4 amps, I would appreciate it. Also have tried a 5v at 3 amps.

For some reason, this seems to have changed in the last few months. I updated ControlBlock service and latest Raspberry Pi (Retropie) version and the bolt appeared. I only had it months ago when using a poor quality USB cable, but now even with a really good USB cable it now appears. Very strange.

Could the ControlBlock voltage drop have increased with more recent software /service updates?

From measuring the USB power drain from the power supply (inline USB measuring) the ControlBlock2 is pulling 5.06V and 0.421A when the yellow warning is in the upper right corner. I didn't measure the 5V output from the Pi or ControlBlock itself as I don't have my multimeter here.
