Bit late to the party, but I'm trying to run a Rpi 5 with a 10" display, I have bought this: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0FMR2W86W?ref ... asin_title, but it seems like the RPI is throtling and it can't power my screen. I live in Europe, where I have noticed that choices of power supplies are limited. What can I do?

The voltage drop of this power supply under load is probably too high which causes issues with throttling and the screen. In our setups we use the DFRobot DFR0205 power supply.

The only thing that worked properly for me was a polarity inverter with the official Raspberry Pi charger, but I never liked that solution.

Is the power supply you’re recommending the DFR0205? I can’t find a DFR020 anywhere.

Ah, sorry, it's a typo. Yes, it is Dfrobot DFR0205.
