 "title": "RP2350 runs 309 MHz under sustained load at stock voltage \u2014 but 'boots', 'error-free' and 'stable' are three different numbers",
 "symptom": "Overclock figures quoted online are usually whatever booted, which badly overstates what a device can be trusted to run. On this chip the gap between booting and being reliable is over 6%.",
