is overclocking safe???? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i know overclocking is unsafe anyways but still due to performance lags in the era of 2017 i like to keep my frequecy to 2GHz and Voltage to 1425mV so will it be safe as my primary device is away for repair can i use this settings for my daily drivery??????

2Ghz is very high you can try 1800 or 1900 Ghz maximum is preety safe and voltage to negative 20mV.
You will get good battery life with good performance but it will still consume more battery life then stock kernel 1600Ghz.

Okk i managed to under volt the by 30mV and at 2Ghz are snappy I will keep and eye on things and also after 2 days I will switch to 1.92Ghz
Edit:i just saw u typed 1900ghz can I overclock that high??

[Q] Overclock?

Total noob question, is it safe to overclock? If I use setCPU to slow the processor down once it gets over a certain temperature will I be okay? I am just worried about melting the phone.
I use setcpu I keep my Max frequency at 1157 and my min frequency and around 422 that way my phone doesn't have to use much power if it doesn't need to. I usually run the smartass governor or conservative. Its very safe as the kernels wont let you clock past speeds that would overheat your phone.

overclocking its so last year, try underclocking! the battery life is awesome

Derp.
Just make sure the "set on boot" box is unticked in SetCPU and you shouldn't have any problems.
Thanks everyone!

Overheating

I've OC 1,8 GHz... I know that when playing games, phone's temperature raises, but when I'm playing NFS HP it almost burns me. What can I do with that? Does custom ROM may reduce the overheating?
And which ROM is the best?
reduce your overclock to 1.4ghz...really no need to go above 1.4ghz currently
yeah, but with 1,8 GHz is the best score in Antutu...
So in the end its just about benchmark score..

Antutu means nothing......im not understanding this recent fad in basing your phone on Antutu etc etc maybe im just old school i dunno.....you asked about overheating and i gave you an answer......benchmark scores mean nothing at the end of the day....
Ok... and what about the best ROM?
search for it and install which u find its best for you
dont just say thanks hit thanks if i helped

there is no "best" rom, rom's are down to personal preference. try them all see which you like.
Overhaeting at 1.8ghz while you are playin a game that stresses the RAM? Are you serious??? that is your phone's way of telling you that it cant take it, reduce the OC before it blows up...!

it wont blow up, but it does reduce the life of the CPU ALOT
Ehm... I'm searching for ROM with good battery and RAM tweaks, smooth and fast

sorry i should be straight forward and not scare people like that...
I'm running the Titanium Kernel build#4 and occasionally take it up to 1.7GHz; the handset does get extremely hot (battery temps were somewhere in the range of 50C-60C, I think) so I never OC that high anymore. It probably cant be very good for it
As for "best" ROMs, it really does depend on what you prefer, but flashing the Titanium Kernel and running the Lionheart governor seems to give the best performance and battery life at a 1.4GHz OC, for me anyways.

That is true. The CPU can withstand ~100°C but not your hand. Standard phones has plastick fascia, so you are not sensing the heat that much as in our aluminium V. The phone can withstand that much, the question is how long...
As for me, I use the phone at stock 1Ghz, and for me it is more than enough.

If you're talking about governors, I want to ask you, which I/O scheduler is the best? Cause first time I'm seeing something like "I/O Scheduler"

anyone else underclocking?

I'm running max cpu @ 1497mhz undervolted to 835mV and GPU @ 389mhz. Performance is great (better than Galaxy s4 @ 1.9ghz) and I don't have to worry about over heating and helps a bit in battery life. I think the extra ram really helps with performance lags.

what rom and kernel you running.
thanks
Could just be me but I couldn't determine an increase in longevity from underclocking/volting. I was running a setup with intellidemand clocked at 1.5ghz and undervolted - 60. I will say that my performance didn't take a noticeable hit which I liked

I would agree it's probably not a drastic battery saver, but I was surprise how well it performs on 1.4ghz.

1.8 or 2.3

Hi just wondering what's the big difference between 1.8 and 2.3 just wondered as is it worth buying the 2.3 if I got the 1.8 thank you

Depends on what you plan to do with the device. If you are going to use it for some high end gaming (Gameloft, Ubisoft, etc.) then yes, the extra .5Ghz will help increase the frame rate.
For normal use (web browsing, flappy bird, etc) there wont be much performance difference.

The 1.8Ghz should work fine for you then. It can run the simple stuff with no problem.
Sent from my ASUS_Z00AD using XDA Free mobile app
The 1.8GHz version might even have better battery life because of that and because it powers half the RAM.
The cpu is quite powerful so most the time the phone runs at lowest frequency step of 500MHz anyway.
I have the 2.3GHz version but I'm actually running my phone capped at 1.8GHz anyway to see if battery life difference is significant.
I have the the ze551ml variant with 1.8 cpu and 4gb ram. I think that the device run smoothly also with heavy games.. and you have the advantage of lower consumption of battery...

Did you limit your frequency at 1.8? How so? Don't you need a custom kernel for that?

No, you don't need a custom kernel. I use Kernel Adiutor app.

Later edit: Oh, I was actually looking to overclock the CPU at 2.5GHz, let the min at 300Mhz and play with the gorvernor. I do need a custom kernel for this (for the frequencies).

You need a custom kernel only for overclocking. The stock kernel has limits built in. As long as you stay in these (usually stock clock is max), you don't need one. The actual clock speed limits are written in a file which you can even change manually (needs obviously root). For example:
Code:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_min_freq
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq
cpu0/cpu1/cpu2/... are the different cores.

so any significant improvement to batt life when running at max 1.8?

No, not really. The CPU is pretty beastly and usually runs at the lowest frequency step of 500MHz or the next step up (583MHz) anyways.
It rarely goes above the minimum speed except for touch events (when frequency will be temporarily boosted in anticipation of activity) and heavy usage like Web video streaming, gaming etc.
I haven't seen any performance degradation with my games and emulators at 1.8GHz vs 2.3GHz.
So overall the battery savings aren't dramatic and really not so noticeable except for heavy usage anyway like gaming. I also have the touchboost capped at 1GHz from the stock speed of 1.33GHz. Again, not huge differences but just little things that add up.
As I said, the CPU is already beastly and efficient. It's really the older screen tech used for display sourcing that has the most impact to battery life.

i have asus zenonfe 2 ze551 ml = ASUS_Z00AD = Atom Z3580 2.3 Ghz, RAM 4 Gb, ROM 32 Gb
i just want overclock the GPU PowerVR G6430
default = 533 Mhz = 136.4 Gflops
OC = +25 - 31 % = 666 - 700 Mhz = 170.5 - 179 Gflops = Equal like Adreno 418 (600 Mhz) on Snapdragon 808 = 172.8 Gflops
can that posible just like Atom Z3570 = GPU clock = +20 % = 163.8 Gflops
how i can do that (please step by step) ?
thank you verry much

Core freq controll apps, none works!?

As I'm the typical user that underclocks because I don?t use games or heavy apps I'm used to use some apps to do this, but, they are very outdated (setCPU, our dead friend) or they are incompatible... francokernel, trickster mod, kernel adiutor... you can lock freqs but the CPU doesn't give a duck about those apps...
Why? and... is there any way to underclock?
I can live with hotpluged cores limited to 1200mhz and a gpu to 4450mhz... I think we would improve the battery a lot but... we can't limit the cpu-gpu..

Kernel adiutor works perfectly fine...i have been using it with no issue since i got my g4 2 months ago...also i have found to save battery it's bettet to raise lower clock speeds to 633 and 460...at stock setting it wakes and throttles way more than it should...it stays more stable at these speeds and i get amazing standby time...also smoothes out a bit of lag...this has been my experience on all my g line devices

Speaking about CPU core frequencies, will SetCPU work? I have another question, I noticed when looking at the CPU with various programs, it's always 1.2Ghz, doesn't the G4 actually have a Hexa(6) core 1.8Ghz CPU, what happened to the other 600Mhz?
