Comment on Revised Raspberry Pi 5 chip comes with unexpected power savings
fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks agoThe Pi 5 doesn’t require 5v 5amp. You just get limited power on downstream USB devices (like max 1 or 0.5 amp, not really that bad). It will run just fine on 3 amp PSU.

5 amp is not a requirement, just a suggestion.

5amp is a requirement. It will crash under load without it.
I know because I have personally experienced this.

Something is wrong with either your power supply, the cable, or the pi itself. Are you running any hats or any extra hardware? Mine runs just fine on a 3 amp power supply under full load.
