overclocking

Hello,
I know it's stupid but i would like to overclock my OneX, what kernel should I choose ?
Thank you.

only faux kernel betas allow OC
big warning OC is bad for the HOX given the thermal envelope
you are risking both you battery and processor if you OC
i know you are used to OC from other devices but those had headroom, it is not the case this time, T3 is operating at its max thermal capabilities on the HOX

You right, thank you.

It's not stupid and I'm dying to overclock my HOX also. Unfortunately Faux's kernels won't let me overclock on my phone, I'm going to name my first kid for whoever is the first to let us overclock this beast .

As already said it gets already hot enough, overclocking will kill it.
And I used to love overclocking on my Xperia Arc, overclocked it 60%
But I think the HOX isn't made for it

the snapdragon 2 on the Arc had a lot of headroom
the chipset is rated @ 1.5ghz stable!
not the case with T3 its milking the very maximum of the 40nm process
in other words Nvidia is OCing its T3 out of box because their chips are designed to survive massive amount of heat (sadly it doesnt mean the battery or other components would survive)
it is already Overclocked lol
sometimes you have to listen to the "science" of it and surrender

feel sorry for the kid

Why you need to overclock this beast. It is already an monster. Don't let it destroy.

It's fast enough already, leave the poor thing alone!
It's already running a fever!

I would actually like to underclock mine to keep heat down

I understand why people want to overclock. Why does someone tune a brand new sports car after all it is fast enough to reach the limit in no time.
What gets me is people posting "just leave it" "its fast enough". It's not your device and I'm sure they know its fast enough. Please those kinds of post really arnt needed.
As for the OC in faux's early (001bX) kernels overclocking was available although it was found there are 3 variants of the Tegra 3 SoC. And Asian variant, European and Australian variants. Each reacted differently to OC.
Taken from faux kerenel thread. Everything about OC'ing is from page 10~ to 45~ for anyone interested.
faux123 said:
WHOA! You have ANOTHER variant for Tegra3 Wow... how many variants are there... I will try to give you an OC build for your variant...
So far there are 3 Tegra3 variants:
Variant 1: European -- So far not OC capable (boot loops)
Variant 2: Australian -- Status unknown.. just reported...
Variant 3: Asian (Non-Australian) -- OC capable @ 1.70 GHz (very stable)

If you're wondering id love to have the capability of overclocking doesn't mean ill be overclocked 24/7
EDIT: @Kris underclocking is available on every kernel something like setcpu or sys tuner will be all you need. Although if your looking to keep heat down there's a thread on XDA about an app called corecontrol (not the one on play store) that can limit the Tegra 3 to 2 cores. Another thing too look at for reducing heat is undervolting. Sys tuner is also capable of this. Currently I believe faux's kernel is the only kernel with true UV control

I use Faux's kernels and even though I have the Asian one that supposedly can be overclocked to 1,700, mine maxes out at 1,500 just like all of the other ones. Still the Faux kernel upped my quadrant speed from 4,700 to 5,000 and seems quicker so I still use it daily. I'm still waiting for the first kernel that can be overclocked .

Only the early kernels had OC it was removed to avoid bootloops in the euro and aus tegra3's the 003bx kernels don't have oc ability

Will an Overclock to 1.7+gHZ be available?

I need it cuz I'll get a ONE x+ which has 1.7 preloaded. Also with loop device pls?
ATT PLS!

But I need 1.7 for special purposes.

Sorry, but I have to call BS on this. There is zero reason that you"must" have a 1.7GHz instead of a 1.5GHz regardless of which system is actually faster.

.... and 1.7 GHz is required for that, regardless of the chip architecture? I'm not a computer engineer, but I know that a 2.0GHz Celeron processor can't do anything faster or better than a 1.5 GHz i5 (even if there is a bigger number in front of the "GHz"). Processor speed only matter if you are talking about the same chip architecture.
btw... there's no need for name calling.

So... If I had a CPU that ran at 1.5GHz, there's no way the game could run on it, even if the processor/system is 1,000 times as powerful? Something simply doesn't sound "right" about that. We're not talking about requiring wavelengths of light syncing up or frequency of signal (if we were then computers of different frequencies could never "talk" to each other).

so the CPU requirements on Team Fortress 2 states
"Minimum: 1.7 GHz Processor, 512MB RAM, DirectX® 8.1 level Graphics Card (Requires support for SSE), Windows® 7 (32/64-bit)/Vista/XP, Mouse, Keyboard, Internet Connectiond
Recommended: Pentium 4 processor (3.0GHz, or better), 1GB RAM, DirectX® 9 level Graphics Card, Windows® 7 (32/64-bit)/Vista/XP, Mouse, Keyboard, Internet Connection"
EDIT: I neglected to add.... And if the game requires something above what current phone processors can do, 1.7GHz has NOTHING to do with it.
You understand that both of the phones that you are considering have a more powerful CPU than a Pentium 4 (which is 12 year old architecture), right?

... and notice that the RAM in the phones is 4X the minimum required.
While we're on this topic, the GPU is far more likely to be your limiting parameter, than the CPU. You need to research that aspect (the GPU's in phones aren't designed to run TV's esp today's large form HD TV's).

I have my phone rooted and would like to now overclock the CPU to 1.7GHZ just for the heck of it. I know the negative affects this can have on my CPU so I don't need a preaching. How can I do this?
Thanks!

Was playing around with LiquidSmooth, RootBox, and Houcha kernel in April. Also ended up purchasing FauxClock.
Some combination of those on some date allowed a CPU overclock to 1.7 GHz and GPU overclock to 487 MHz.
Wasn't interested in the overclock capability, so didn't mark down the dates or versions. But it's definitely possible.

It's is possible yet useless with our phone. Also, our chip doesn't like overclocking at all. Finally, the worth of energy loss vs performance gain is not good enough to justify using overclock.

Totally agree with you chad.
On this device oc is useless,you don't compare overclocking a galaxy s with an optimus g.
Not to mention it's not that easy,to find the proper voltage/freqs table.too much work "just for the heck of it".

Never said it was useful, just that it was possible.
Once you get above 1Ghz dual-core Cortex-A9/Krait/A7, everything is gravy, and it's the GPU or memory controller that becomes the bottleneck. Just look at how poorly the Tegra3 is...mainly due to crappy GPU and limited memory bandwidth.

By default, yes. However I used TricksterMod to upgrade it to a Snapdragon 800. The device is absolutely flying now :good:

You can't "upgrate" S600 to and S800 , the S800 is a newer cheap - uses a newer Krait 400 cores which are more optimized and power efficient and on top of that it has a newer more powerful gpu - adreno 330 vs 320 on the S600/S4 Pro , also the S800 has a newer DSP embedded so it can decode 4K content.
clock to clock the S800 would be faster, and as the S600 wasn't design to run at 2.26GHz (highest bin of the S600 is 1.9GHz on the S4 , then the 1.7GHz on the HTC One, and finaly there is the Nexus 7 Which uses underclocked S600 with different branding) the S800 would be more power efficient .

I can't seem to understand the purpose of overclocking the flo. It's fast and smooth any way that you put it. Not to mention the potential damage that you can do to your precious tablets (especially from the extreme heat of the overclocked cpu & gpu combo).

My idea exactly. Hence I underclocked the CPU and GPU and don't notice any performance decrease.

How in the hell the processor can go 2.00GHz>??

So I flashed Agni Kernel and there is an option to change CPU Frequency. By default it is 1.6GHz so it means samsung created it max 1.6Ghz, How in the hell it can go 2.00GHz???

Ofcourse it can because software controls it, you just specify different values i.e. voltage etc and it can work at hingher frequencies. The only real problems are battery usage (will be higher) and system (CPU) heating... thus possibly shortening CPU/component life....

TMSC created a 3.1 GHz Cortex A9 dual (the processor in note ii is a Quad version of the same chip) to test out the max speed achievable. No information what type of cooling was used for it. Can only assume that it will require heatsink & fan. For tablets & phones, 2 GHz is the max speed you will see with 28nm.

if it's 2GHz the max speed why samsung sold it as 1.6GHz? or it is because of heat?

Vendors tend to slow upgrade the clock as it gives them more room to add every small jump as a new device. You as a customer are obleged to buy any new devices as quick as possible to sustain revenues.

Snapdragon 636 an underclocked version of sd 660

Is Snapdragon 636 underclocked version of sd660 CPU specific in terms of architecture etc. As cpu-z app also show 636 as sd660 .
I am just curious to know that as i want to overclock it to sd660 clock speed .
If it is underclocked version then i guess there will be no risk of overclocking .
PS : please try to answer in simple language ?

I'm fairly sure GPU is hardware-locked so you won't be able to overclock it. The only thing you are able to overclock is the CPU but you would need a custom kernel.

It doesn't heat nor consumes significant amount of battery just worried about cpu temp while playing pubgm

Overclocking is fine (CPU only tho), and rooting isn't hard aswell. I personally don't OC cause I don't need it, gpu oc would be cool. Gonna note that the original bettery lost 12% capacity in 1.5 months, replaced it myself. Maybe fast charging (15w)/ heavy usage hurt it don't know, but new battery is just fine, so factory battery is seems to be bad...
