Raspberry Pi 400

The Raspberry Pi 400 is a unique all-in-one personal computer built into a compact keyboard form factor. It is powered by the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B architecture, providing a powerful and versatile computing experience in a convenient package.

Released in 2020, the Raspberry Pi 400 came at a time when remote learning and working from home were becoming increasingly important, making it an ideal solution for students, educators, and professionals alike.

Specifications

Important

This section is incomplete. Please refer to the Raspberry Pi 400 Datasheet .

Overclocking

The Raspberry Pi 400 is designed to run at a higher clock speed than the standard Raspberry Pi 4 Model B. It comes factory-overclocked to 1.8GHz, providing improved performance for various computing tasks.

Overclocking Settings

Users can further overclock the device by adjusting settings in the /boot/config.txt file, but it is essential to ensure adequate cooling and power supply when doing so.

Tip

Running Ubuntu on your Pi? Check /system-boot/config.txt instead.

1.9 GHz (for first timers)

arm_freq=1900 over_voltage=4
arm_freq=2000 over_voltage=5

2.1 GHz (performance)

arm_freq=2100 over_voltage=6

2.2 GHz (danger zone)

arm_freq=2200 over_voltage=8 force_turbo=1
Warning

Setting the the force_turbo flag will void your warranty!

Cooling

The Raspberry Pi 400 features an integrated cooling solution, including a large aluminum heat spreader that helps dissipate heat generated by the CPU and other components. This design allows the device to maintain optimal performance even under load, making it suitable for extended use in various applications.

Power Supply

The Raspberry Pi 400 requires a stable 5V power supply with a minimum current rating of 3A. It is recommended to use the official Raspberry Pi power supply to ensure reliable operation and prevent potential issues related to insufficient power delivery. When overclocking, users should monitor power consumption and ensure that the power supply can handle the increased load.
