Just FYI: whatever frequency ends up being used based on
the u-boot-master based u-boot has worked fine for me
on the Pine64+ 2GB. -j4 buidlworld, buildkernel. (clang
full and extras, lldb, lld bootstrapped and normal
all being included.) Also poudriere building ports
allowing the job to use all 4 cores. I build gcc7
and what it depends on, for example.

But I have a case with a fan for cooling and heatsinks.
The power supply is one for an official rpi3 one as well.
(So, it has a slightly higher voltage than normal: 5.1V.)
The fan gets power from the Pine64+ 2GB. But the USB SSD
is via a powered hub. The hub is the only USB device
plugged in. Ethernet present and sometimes used.

FYI: my last from-scratch buildworld buildkernel on the
Pine64+ 2GB took a little under 18 hr + 10 min and was
of -r325700 (built by -r325700 that was from a
cross-build).
