[Q] safe overclock? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

setcpu
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.

I have to say. If you gotta ask dont do it! Make sure you setup good profiles for heat or you run a serious risk of frying your phone! Good luck some people got lucky and have no problems running 1.9. My phone has no problem with that speed until for some reason i have yet to discover somthing makes it heat up at random times. After that happened a few times i decided 1.5 is plenty.

I thinks it's underclocked @ 1.9Mhz
Root the phone
Install ROM Manager from the Android Market
In ROM Manager, flash Clockworkmod Recovery
Also in ROM Manager, backup ROM ("nandroid" backup)
Download the kernel and put it on the SD card.
Flash kernel from Recovery
Get SetCPU or CPU Tuner to set the CPU clock
As already mentioned, if you want to OC that high, SetCPU profiles with temp failsafes, etc. are a must. You might want to start with lower CPU clock speeds.
If you need more guides on how to get this done:

kernel manager has it.
Yeah, it does. Unfortunately for me, it's stable for less than five blazingly-fast minutes Guess I'll stay at 1.5!
I think for a phone that was clocked at 800, 1.9 is far too risky. I have no factual basis to say that, just seems like common sense.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
^I agree^ That doesn't seem logical....
I can't see OC our phones to 1.9 being good on any level. Seems like were trying to push the hardware a bit too far.
Is that how people are able to get Quadrant scores in the 2000+? I can't seem to get that high at all. I have been using pershoot's kernel with CM7...but now on nightly #91- using stock kernel now. I have been cautious on trying out this one...

Why would you want to clock it down to 1.9 MHz when the stock speed is 800 MHz? Even an XT-8086 ran at 5-10 MHz. An 8080 (the year was 1974) ran at 2.0 MHz.....

Lol, i think he meant GHz, typo =P..
As for quadrant, my DZ easily hits an average of 2100+ when OCed to 1.3GHz using Virtuous G-Lite 1.0.2. I really don't trust those benchmarks though, as long as the battery lasts and the UI is smooth, I can't really complain.

Bravo! I can't believe nobody else caught that.
1.9Ghz will sometimes cause my phone to either overheat or crash. I have it set to 1.516Ghz on Pershoot's kernel.

Stock vs Overclocked

Is it worth rooting my phone and overclocking it?
Is overclocking it really noticable in performance to say approx 1.5GHz? And is it going to kill battery? Thanks

Yes and Yes to both of your questions. There is a noticeable diffrence in performance when overclocking. But it will obviously use more battery
cant say ive noticed 1.5ghz killing my battery.. might be used a bit faster.. but u can easily offset this by lowering your clockspeed and voltage for your sleep state in addition to minimising the required voltage that 1.5ghz requires, id say my battery life is probably better overall, and i run 1.5ghz 24/7.
of course your mileage may vary depending on usage and various settings.
How hard is it to overclock it? My phone is rooted but I have no experience with overclocking.
I'm guessing it wouldn't be a wise idea?
Yeah this seems a little over my head.. thinking of buying another Xperia Play just to mod the crap out of.
Dont really wanna mess with the overlocking now I think about it incase I fry the chips and kill the phone.
At 1.4 and 1.5ghz its quite safe.
To chill out the battery put some screen off underclocking like at Real low with but not the least

Hey guys Just got my hands on a dinc2. I'm coming from the evo shift, its great to see 3.5 roms. Looks like the incredible 2 has a strong community, I will contribute as much as possible.
What are you guys have your kernel OC'd to? How much undervolted can she take? Does anyone use tv-out?

As far as OC and UV I don't bump it real high, as a matter of fact right now I'm running at 1 ghz (stock speed) if I do OC I'm usually running it at 1.3 ghz.
UV usually a decent is -50 under. Much under that and you could run into freezing up.
I don't remember if TV out works very well with this phone (or at all, I just don't remember lol)

1.8 is a bit extreme. That's not something you won't wanna keep for long periods of time. I heard that can mess things up potentially.

Yeah, it got pretty warm, but i was careful to make sure i didnt melt a hole in my back cover xD.
I'm not too sure what the max temp these phones can handle is, i'm just giving an extreme example of what the phone can handle, i wouldnt reccomend more than 1.6, at the highest, 1.4 is fine for daily use

it's always cool to do that just for testing purposes but oc'ing your phone to that level will only fry out your cpu faster as well as kill your battery life. not really necessary to oc this phone above 1.3ghz and if you want to save battery uv between -25 to -50.
I have been running 1.4 for a while now. I uv -25, except the top two voltages I leave stock. Might try -50 eventually. Battery life is pretty beasty with smartassv2
Sent from my mobile typewriter with tapatalk
Oh that reminds me actually, when i oc to 1.8 (or is it 1.9, forgot what aero's kernel maxes at) i CANNOT run it at smartassV2
Locks up for me past 1.5ish every time when i'm on smartassv2, i have to switch to smoothass for the phone to work well
However, i've had no problems with smartassv2 below 1.5, which is why i run it on my phone

Overclocking

Y can't the Droid incredible overclock past 1190
Sent from my Incredible using xda premium
The short answer is yes it can but it's not worth it as it's not stable
The long answer is the CPU in the phone isn't really well built to be overclocked from what I've read online. I can't get enough stability with the current voltage max (1375 - which is already 50mV higher than stock and 25mV higher than tiamat). I won't go higher than 1375 and I get nearly instant reboots at the next speed of 1.22ghz. A lot of what I read online suggested 1325 is the max voltage with 1.113 ghz. I have issues above 1.113 ghz myself so I doubt any higher than 1.19 is worth it.
So, if my phone can't run it (probably a lot of phones as well) then I'm not doing it.
Though if you REALLY want higher, Tiamat (AOSP kernel) supports up to about 1.26 ghz but only allows 1350mV max so if you want to try overclocking higher you are welcome to do that. I have a feeling you'd be disappointed though as I don't expect to see stability.

[Q] Overclocking!?

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 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.

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)
