Actually, LMS isn't really much of a load. So I ran some consecutive
oggenc jobs while LMS was rescanning. Whereas this would have taken the
temperature into the low 70s, it now peaks at about 67 degrees. So
maybe 5ish degrees improvement.
Playback to 5 synced players still seems perfect at 600MHz.
In my case there's no real benefit in underclocking - the temperature
savings are minimal and I wasn't struggling with heat at the default
clock speed. But maybe there'd be bigger gains for Pis in a tighter
space, or with a smaller heatsink. Worth a try if you're up for some
testing. To underclock, edit the config.txt file on the boot partition,
and uncomment the #arm_freq= line, e.g:
Code:
--------------------
arm_freq=600
--------------------
