    No need to overclock - have 2 Pi2 boxes running openelec without issue. Only change was to put gpu_mem=320

    Eventually found it /flash/config.txt in Openelec :)

    I seem to have the following settings
    # Memory (System/GPU configuration )
################################################################################

# default GPU memory split (do not change if you do not know what you are doing)
  gpu_mem=128

# SDRAM size based GPU memory split, uncomment and setup to override 'gpu_mem'
  gpu_mem_256=112
  gpu_mem_512=160
  gpu_mem_1024=256

################################################################################

    It seems the gpu_mem is being overridden by the later entries.
