Hi, im just about to flash leedroids 2.2.3 rom, which can oc to 1.8 ghz with setcpu, just wondering if there are any dangers in having it at this speed? anything to be aware of ?
It might fry your device, it might not, you never know. There's no need to run it at 1,8ghz. I'd recommend max 1,2ghz for daily use though everything runs smoot at 1ghz already.
If you overclock to 1.8Ghz you will increase the risks to fry your CPU(and hence, your device will be destroyed). Lol.
Also overclocking too high can drain your battery real fast. As per Hawks556, max 1.2Ghz would be fine.(perhaps it is almost to optimal)
I overclock mine at 1.16Ghz and it is already very smooth in LeeDrOid.
You may sometimes wish to overclock it until 1.8GHz is just to show off to your peers only. Maybe through quadrants. But later on make sure you underclock it back.
Cheers. =)
thanks for the help, lol whole thing just froze while i was reading it better underclock it lol : /
OC up to 1.5ghz should not harm your device.
Take a look at ths HTC Flyer: it has the same CPU as the DHD but it's set to 1.5ghz by default.
So there is no risk in overclocking up to 1.5ghz in my opinion.

The hd2 can go up to 1.5ghz I know so why can't the desire, you may ask 'why does it need to get faster its fast anyway ' well that's because I want to see how far it can go. ages ago our kernels were going up to 1.3ghz and surprisingly it was stable for me. Any answers

DHD has a different processor
What? He is not even mentioning Desire HD, only HD2, which has an identical chip.
My fault, swear it said DHD!

No cpu is the same, even if its the same model, one person may be able to oc theres to 1.5 ghz. where as another may be only able to oc theres to 1.1 ghz. someone on another forum oc'd there droid x to 2.5ghz lol

This is very true not only that there is the stresses that your ROM and apps are taking on the CPU some will be OC'd to be extremely fast but never actually use that amount of CPU speed so will always be stable however some users will take theirs to the limit and will only remain stable at much less CPU speed.
It's pretty much the same with all processors but who really wants to fry their processor just checking how fast they can make it run. If 1.3Ghz is stable for you then that's all good bump it up yourself once your cpu burns out you know it can't go that fast

+1 and if the op really wants to try it, why not throw a donation at a dev, get him to compile you a kernel that can be oc'd that much

998Mhz does me just fine on my Desire. I used to run 1.51Ghz on my DHD but all I got from it was an awesome Quadrant score and a piss poor battery life. For day to day use I really don't notice the difference from 998Mhz to 1190Mhz with a HAVS/BFS kernel on my Desire.
my amoled went up to 1300 and my wife slcd wont go over 1030(i menan it will but any stronger activity will crash it)
2.5ghz overclocked with a droid x?
how good was the battery life on that?
I think 998 MHZ is enough for my Desire. 1.5 GHZ is nothing to me.
II'm very new to xda but i successfully flashed SyndicateROM frozen 1.10 and wanted to know what setting i should be placing in setCPU to achieve the advertised overclocked 1.3gHz and undervolted at 1.0gHz, i've read min:200, idle:800, and max:1000-1300. Anyway I appreciate the help and thanks to all of you hard at work in the Android dev community!
You'll get the undervolted 1ghz by default. If you want 1.3ghz, use it as the max.
so if i understand correctly, if i overclock it to 1.3ghz i will be undervolted at 1ghz, so as far as battery life goes, will overclocking it to 1.3ghz give me battery life of the stock 1.0ghz? Sorry for the possibly erroneous questions lol

No. You will see less battery life at 1.3ghz. If you want battery life, don't even bother with SetCPU.
Set min 100, max 1.3ghz ondemand governor. 1ghz is uv automatically when it runs at that, but with 1.3 as your max it may not spend much time in 1.0. If your concerned with battery (UV) then min 100, max 1000 might be what you want. I've been running that and I seriously cannot come up with a single speed complaint. K0 and team have done an amazing job with this thing.

is setCPU safe to use on the epic with syndicaterom? i searched the forums, and it looks like some people are having problems with it...

is it possible to overclock above 768mhz? my phone never gets warm and battery lasts 2+ days, completely stable at this speed, i want to learn how i can edit a kernel and increase the cpu voltage ever so slightly and increase max cpu clock and see whats stable, could you help me?
i think you will just start to get kernel panics if you try to go much higher .
i have another phone (lg 500) also with the same arm6 cpu that comes clocked at 600 from factory. i have the option to oc to 825 with custom kernel but it always panics at 806 and is stable at 787.
So i think if you want a faster phone go buy one

Nope.
P500 has an ARM11 MS7227 processor
Wildfire has an ARM11 MS7225 processor.

lol the chipset for the wildfire is MSM7225 but the cpu is arm6/11? on half of the sites is arm6 the other arm11..
Hi I have mine set to 710 and any higher starts getting random reboots.
But overclocking any higher than 768, your risking a chip melt or definitely shorting its life.
Waaazuuuuppppppp Guys?????
Can anybody tell me if it's dangerous to overclock the CPU to it's stock clock speed (the stock 1,5 Ghz of the OMAP 4460, not the stock 1,2 Ghz of the GNex).
I was thinking that it will not harm the CPU in any way because the OMAP was designed to run at that clock speed, am I right?
Hope anybody here can help me with my question

Depends on heat really. I'm sure it can run 1.5Ghz, but the increased voltage needed and the associated heat will shorten the life of the processor. I've had issues while charging and using nav on the phone where it reboots due to heat on stock clocks...I'd really not advise going to 1.5Ghz without proper ways to cool.
Every phone is different, some handle overclocking better than others, I haven't had any of the problems described when overclocked to 1.65GHz, but I'm sure others do.
I heard there was a problem with stability issues before. Has it been fixed?
Also, do any of you guys feel the need to OC in the first place?

I tried OC'ing to 1,4 for a short time, didnt get any instabilities.
Which leads me to question two. No I don't feel the need to OC this phone, it is still good enough to cope with everything i throw at it.
The worst that will happen is that it will run a little hotter than normal. I was running Trinity Kernel on RasCream ROM clocked at 1.5GHz and it was fine, nothing crashed, no reboots, all was well.
Besides; It's a Nexus, it was built for this!
This varies for everyone

Meh. It all varies. No 2 chipsets are the same. What may work for someone else may not work for you. Trial and error is the only surefire way to find out.
Hi,
I agree with what has been said above, all the CPU's are not equal but actually the progress made by the kernel devs allows all (or almost) phones to run at 1.3* Ghz (1.34/1.35 Ghz, it depends of the kernel) without any issues.I think it's for all, actually I don't remember a user with issues at 1.3* Ghz...
And for most phones 1.5 Ghz is fine.For some others, above 1.5 Ghz is problematic but it depends also of too many factors.
Now it's not like it when the Genx came out, where 1.3 Ghz was the limit of CPU overclock for all the phones.
And many people can run stable at 1.65 Ghz, also it depends of the kernel.
For me for example my max CPU freq usable each day, so stable is 1.72 Ghz with Glados kernel, above (like 1.8 Ghz) it runs fine for 30 mins, sometimes 1 hour, but after always freeze/reboot... maybe my CPU can't reach this CPU freq or maybe my settings are wrong (voltage) ...
I agree, an extreme overclock like 1.72 Ghz is not really necessary for all day (heat, battery life, etc...) but a little overclock like 1.5/1.53 Ghz and you a difference in certain case (openning some apps, general UI, browsing, etc...).
But if we have the ability to test and play...why not... ,in any case for me it's yes, I like overclock and test the possibilities/limits of my phone, different settings...
Everyone does as he wants and it depends on what you want (battery life,a little more power in some situation like playing or a higher bench score ).
Well considering Texas instruments recommended highest clock speed for this processor is 1.5 ghz I'd say your fine. Anything above that is dependent on how well your chip set will handle it. Besides who honestly has needed to OC for anything other than benchmarks?
