Yes, it can, at 4K and on Ultra. Check out more details about how this was achived in my blog post:
- jeffgeerling.com/blog/2024/use-external-gpu-on-raspberry-pi-5-4k-gaming
Here are the parts I used in my setup (some links are affiliate links):
- Pineboards HATs: pineboards.io
- Lian-Li SP 750 SFX PSU: amzn.to/4eIzzsu
- JMT M.2 to Oculink PCIe Dock: amzn.to/3BBQkHG
- SFF-8611 OCuLink PCIe Gen 4 Cable: amzn.to/4eQtxGm
- AMD Radeon RX 460: amzn.to/3Ub7ked (cheaper on eBay though)

Raspberry Pi hasn't released their PoE+ HAT after pre-announcing it a year ago—but third parties are taking the idea and getting creative, combining NVMe + PoE+ on one HAT! How do these new HATs stack up?

If you're just getting started or don't want to build your own tiny printer, I also recommend a Bambu Labs A1 Mini or Prusa Mini; they're much cheaper and you won't have to spend so much time building them.
But building a 3D printer is half the fun! Maintaining it is the other half :)

The 2GB Pi 5 is cheaper with a smaller chip. Raspberry Pi removed the 'dark silicon'.
Does that make a difference in thermals, performance, or overclocking?

05:10 - Stability issues with direct die cooling
05:53 - For my next trick...
06:10 - Better efficiency (sort-of)
07:27 - Is the 2GB better?
It has some neat party tricks, but it's expensive. What makes it special, and who is it for? Find out in this video.

Turing Pi's shaking things up with their new RK1. It's 5x faster than the Pi CM4.
But is it worth the price? Dive into my test results, then we'll rack up two SBC clusters: 6 Pi CM4s on the DeskPi Super6c cluster board, and 4 Turing Pi RK1s in the Turing Pi 2.

I used Frigate, a Raspberry Pi, a Coral TPU, and Axzez's Interceptor 1U chassis.
Axzez sent me the 1U chassis and the required accessories (not including hard drives or the Raspberry Pi) for this build, but they did not pay any money, nor did they have any input into the content in this video.

Experiencing the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse in southern Missouri was incredible, words can't do it justice—nor can a video! But I've put together something that will at least give you an idea.

Radxa's Penta SATA HAT fits nicely atop the Raspberry Pi 5. Can I use it to build the ultimate Pi 5 NAS? Or will we run into issues?
This video is not sponsored, neither Open Sauce nor Radxa paid anything, nor did they have any input into this video—however I did recieve the Radxa Penta SATA HAT featured in this video for review, as well as the Pineberry Pi boards.
My build included the following (some links are affiliate links):
- Raspberry Pi 5 8GB: raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-5
- Radxa Penta SATA HAT: radxa.com/products/accessories/penta-sata-hat
- TMEZON 12V 5A Power Adapter: amzn.to/3vB7dPR
- SanDisk Extreme 32GB microSD Card: amzn.to/3J2Cf6n
- Samsung 870 QVO SSDs: (NOTE: these went way up in price... I would recommend cheaper 2 or 4TB SSDs instead) amzn.to/4cI1fO4
- ThirdReality Zigbee Smart Plug Gen 2: amzn.to/4azSfbI
You have two options for 2.5 Gbps networking, if you want it. First, for all PCIe, and stackable boards:
- Pineberry Pi HatBRICK! Commander: pineberrypi.com/products/hatbrick-commander-2-ports-gen2-for-raspberry-pi-5
- Pineberry Pi HatNET! 2.5G: pineberrypi.com/products/hatnet-2-5g-2-5-gigabit-ethernet-for-raspberry-pi-5
But that will downgrade the PCIe connections to Gen 2.
The second option keeps Gen 3 speed for the disks and gets slightly better 2.5G performance (in fact, slightly better than the switch), using a USB 3 2.5G Ethernet adapter. I used this Plugable 2.5G adapter: amzn.to/4cGPxmF

Then I did it! Happy Pi Day, here are some resources if you want to try overclocking *your* Pi 5 beyond 3.0 GHz—but be warned, you will be running experimental firmware if you do this:
- github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/1876
- Argon THRML 60mm tower cooler: amzn.to/43gYmPM
- My video on Pi silicon: youtube.com/watch?v=WKrt1E5fxLg
Since many people have asked for a link, here's the set of mini needle-nose pliers I used in the video: amzn.to/3TBA6EQ (Hakko CHP PN-2007). I probably use them more than any other pliers I've bought, in fact I just bought another pair so I can have one up front with the Macs :)
Argon sent this particular cooler unit as a test sample, though I have another one I purchased separately at home. This video isn't sponsored, and there are a variety of great cooling options that should work with most overclocks (even the $7 Pi Active Cooler), and an Ice tower cooler would give pretty similar results.

The Raspberry Pi 5 can't be overclocked past 3 GHz. Why? The secret is hidden in the silicon deep inside.
X-rays don't go deep enough. This video explores modern CPU architecture, clocks and PLLs (Phase-Locked Loops), silicon die shots, and even transistor-level debugging with an electron microscope!

The HL15 NAS build using an Arm64 CPU was surprisingly loud—and power-hungry.
Can we improve that? This video will explore making it almost silent, while also reducing power consumption by half. Then we'll dive deeper into performance and efficiency.
