What is the safest speed that a desire can be overclocked to?
Are there any disadvantages or any long term drawbacks with overclocking?
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
With a pc, the danger of overclocking was a combination of high clock cycle + increase of heat by introducing more power.
We don't have the heat issue as our kernels are undervolted. This means we get same clock (998 mhz) for less power. Ergo, we can get a higher clock at similar voltage as HTC stock.
Now I'm not going to say your CPU won't degrade over time. But the largest contributor (by s long way) has been removed.
The only issue really is what is stable. Some desires overclocked, when put under load will freeze and / or reboot. If this happens, you're overclocked too much.
1190 is the max but many desires aren't stable there

Also, I presume overclocking decreases battery life?

You presume right.
And what is with thread hyper production mate? Not all three queries could fit in one thread?

Well it depends what you mean by that.
If you have a kernel that is 998Mhz at 1200 mV, then you overclock the same kernal to 1113mhz which is at 1275mV, whilst you are running at 1113mhz you will be using more power than you would have been on 998 - yes.
However, I believe (correct me if I am wrong as its been a long time) stock sense kernels are 998mhz at 1300mV so in comparisson to that, overclocking wont use more power.

Hi everyone
What is the maximum frequency desire can be overclocked to?
And where can i get the kernel?
Thank you in advance
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Max stable OC is 1190MHz and can be found here. Scroll down to the kernels and see whats what.
One caveat: 1190 is not universally stable. Some desires can handle it, but many have found that the phone freezes requiring a battery pull. Overclocking to 1152 seems stable for everyone afaik.

Can anyone help me to use setcpu?
It always return to the default frequency 998mhz!

Hi.
I tried many kernels and many oc profiles with setcpu and now I'm back on stock frequencies 998 mhz, because with that it is stable, batterydrain is "normal" and the quadrant score isn't a score for me...

Mine is 2550 With Overclocked CPU 1190MHz on latest Starburst Rom 1.3.3.4 Data2ext
Without Overclocking at 1000MHz i get 2050
Have you seen my video I get a little more than that with the insertcoin Rom HD PORT

After I install the fake score plus script, I get 4000
Btw, A2SD+ and 1850.

Before the overclock i get a score of 2149 @ 998mhz
Real score is around 1850 with the ROM in my signature (A2SD+ version). With OC, I manage to get near 2000, but not really tested it I'm fine with it.
why are you people so concerned on the Quadrant score? it is impactless in real life usage

Agreed....
Depends on what you use your phone for? Maybe it doesn't matter for texting, calling, alarms and small apps, but its more advanced programs such as PhotoShop or wireless hacking or programs that demand more speed. I want people to post different speeds of different ROMs for trying out and playing with and so people can discuss which speeds can be achieved by different roms and therefore compare easily

Well, then don't rely on those D2Ext fake scores then
devNULL standard 1100 no idea about CPU etc

Mine was 2497 with starburst ROM with 1190 of and class 4 4GB Micro SD card
What causes lighter ROM's such as DevNull to have lower scores than ROM's running Sense? Seems like Sense should be slower since it has more to process.

I think the CPU is underclocked running alot slower

Does make sense but I remember trying it on Oxygen RC7 with OC to 1100MHz or whatever was setCPU's max and all I could get out of it was around 1400...no idea how people get over 2000.
I am getting average of late 1700's with Insertcoin 2.0.0 APP2SD version on standard 998 clocks with smartass gov
About the same,~1100, I'm using leedroid 2.3d

To be honest I'm not too fussed. DevNULL is faster than any other rom I've tried and far faster than a sense rom. Not sure why the quadrant score doesn't reflect that.

How much can you overclock HTC Desire HD without damaging the hardware?
And how much do you have your Desire HD overclocked right now?
Sent from my mind.
I'm running the HTC Inspire, which is just the DHD +4g radio, keep that in mind though. It shouldn't affect CPU speeds, but who knows.
I've overclocked to 2.1ghz, but the most you'll ever need is 1.5. Past that you get stability issues and no speed increase, at all. It might even slow you down because of random glitches. Oh, and it gets really, really hot.
I usually stay around 1.2 ghz if I expect heavy usage (gaming, HD video), 700mhz for normal usage (web browsing, ebook reading, music)
I dunno about a safe zone, I've heard 1.5ghz and 1.6ghz, but nothing to back either up.
Thank you for your answer
And anyone else?
Sent from my mind.
Constantly on 1.25, I get glitches if I go higher, have to increase voltage in that case, works great for me this way though...
Depends on the rom. I'm using cm7.2 stable at 1.5 ghz and it's fast with no freezes or crashes

It also depends on the hardware. Not all devices can OC to the same amount even if on the same set up

1.3 on interactive governor is my usual. Works flawlessly
As Zelendel points out there is no "safe" overclock, anything over 1ghz is outside the manufacturers stated performance and therefore at your own risk.
Yes I know there is a risk, but I know there is a point where the device starts to lag or glitch. Like more than 1.5 GHz

You'd have to test your own hardware, I know of people who can run 2ghz all day and others who struggle with anything over 1.2ghz. Even if you'll run stable at xghz it doesn't guarantee that it's not over stressing your device.

Is there anyway to see if your current overclock is stressing your device?
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
I can't imagine if you don't touch voltages and only overclock the CPU much can go wrong. In worst case scenario your phone will force reboot if it's OC'ed too high.
I been running my phone on +- 1.5GHz for months now and never had a problem (and definitely higher scores in benchmarks), higher seems useless because in benchmarks you see no more improval.
Anything til around 1.5/1.6GHz should be fine.
I'm currently on rcmixed rom as you can see in my signature, and I'm using daemon controller with andrev_oc using daemon controller standard voltages for overclocking.
what voltage do you use at 1.5 GHz?

It really depends
Hi. It really depends how much your device can be overclocked without losing stability. But I don't think overclocking is really necessary on DHD. With the right ROM, it runs pretty smooth on 1 GHz.
I've installed ARHD 6.3.3. with a couple of its scripts, and it runs extremely smooth on my device and there is no lag whatsoever.
Overclocking really can lower the life of your device.

can you uninstall setcpu after your dont over clocking?
I can go up to 1.3Ghz, anything higher just freezes the device after some time and I have to pull battery out.

Don't try to Overclock more then 1.5Ghz.
Hehe I did overclock to 1.8 GHz once and my mobile froze. But I pulled the battery and now I'm running stock speed.

Hey guys,
I actually rooted my One v and also began using a custom Rom - KangBang v3 with hellboy kernel. I found the overclocking and voltag-controll in the menu. What is the maximum you wold overclock and at wich voltage?

I personally don't use and prefer OCing above 1.5ghz.at 1.9ghz,phone reboots every time an app is opened,freezes sometimes...

i never overcloked my Phone for me he is fast i think there is also a risk when you overclock
1.5 is pretty stable, any higher than that is a gamble. I got pretty good scores in antutu at 1.5, but not high enough to warrant constant over clock. Heck I usually run with 768 MHz on the high side for tiny bit better battery life and don't notice any slowdowns.

I go 245 low and 1200 high and 1708 low and max for games, that's the max without reboot

Ok, i overclocked it up to 1.5 GHz maximum. At this frequenzy gta III runs smooth xD.
But for daily use, this drains the battery too fast -.-
But I think 1ghz is enough for normal use without gaming

Hey guys,
I am using Surprimo Rom v30
just wanted to ask if it has any such option of setting the processor setting
I haven't found any such settings during my usage.
So if it doesn't have such settings then what is the default setting set to?
I overclocked to 1,5 Ghz and use it daily with SmartassV2 governor. Battery lasts enough to load it back up overnight.

Your insane for trying 1.9 xD.
Don't exceed 1.4.
Overclocking a 1ghz kernel to 1.9 is dangerous.
Sent from my HTC One V using Tapatalk 2
even at 2ghz,there is no damage done to ur phone.generally people feel that it will damage and fry their phone,but thats not true.it only may reboot and freeze just for some time.there is no serious damage as many feel.
Running at 1.2GHz max right now. I'm too paranoid to go any higher than that. It got rid of the minor lag issues I was having (occasionally seeing "loading" when going back to the Sense home screen from an app)
Just wanted to ask abou your experience in DESIRE Z overclocking - what are the safe limits for CPU? What is the maximum you got keeping the phone stable at the same time?
