Guys I'm currently testing a 1.6 over clock kernel from Steve. It's not perfect yet but it's running way smooth! 57-58 in linpack for me and like 3400-3600 in quadrant
running smoothly here as well. and same scores all around actually seeing upwards of 3800 in quad
Is the bluetooth fix in this version?
I dont care about.bluetooth at the moment I want to test
Bt is still broken

Hi all.
I was running 2.1 Eclair just a few hours ago and was getting constant scores of 2.2K+ on Quadrant with the OCLF. I'm now running a rooted 2.2 Froyo with the same OCLF and scoring 1846. I can barely see a loss of performance... Does anyone know why this is?
Thanks in advance.
Because Quadrant is a SYNTHETIC BENCHMARK! It only tests a single specific workload
I was also under the impression that OCLF didn't work on Froyo unless you first ran the Z4 app and then the OCLF. I also agree though that Quadrant isn't that useful. The best test is whether you're happy with the speed of the phone. I'd be happy with it if it responds to my touch without a pause of a second or more.
Quadrant means nothing really, anyone can get 1k in there and outperform a 2.6k score.
I had a chance to try it in corp store, but the result is disappointing.
Only 15xx? Are you kidding me?
With same Tegra 2 CPU, my A7 can achieve 2400-2500.
What is yours?
Is your A7 running stock firmware?
Quadrant is 1995 on stock.
Quadrant 1867 37.769 Linpack
As I thought dualcore means nothing reason I love my Nexus s with its 2825 quadrant score people better wake up as to the marketing that's going on

I only trust my experience when playing Angry Birds.
If it doesn't have hiccup, this would be good.

1913 for my Streak7. Tested right after restarting.
1900- ish with about 250 MB RAM available....
39-ish on Linpack...
For those that may not know...
The quadrant score doesnt really mean anything right now. Reason being; Froyo doesnt support dual core, so until HC gets ported, you will never see the full potential, even though its already there. Anf even when it does get ported, it really depends on which filesystem we get this running on a custom oc kernel. For instance, etc3 has trouble with the read/write db, even though the kernel is super fast. And rfs and jfs dont have that issue as much, but usually arent as fast as say a voodoo kernel.
Dont rely on quadrant or linpack. Right now, but not for long, the DS7 has the fastest processor on an android tablet, but we cant even use it to its full potential. This is why I know we will get HC, its just a matter of when we will get an official release from Dell/T-Mobile.

Thank you for clearing this up. I did read about Quadrant and 2.2 not supporting Dual Core a few months back.

Have been reading through this (and GTab) forums about how others have been overclocking their units. Been a tad leery of doing this on either of my NCs as heat is one of the biggest "killers" of hardware. Now going from 800 to 1.0 or 1.1 isn't a tremendous jump I grant you but with only that small perforated port on the back, one wonders if that is enough area to dissapate the increased heat generated from an overclocked cpu. Over time that is.
Anyone concur or have other input on this? Most curious. Thanks all!
I've OCed mine and have yet to see or feel any damaging effects.

I think alot of people worry way too much about this, for no reason.
Two things to keep in mind - the TI 3630 (which our chip the 3621 is based on) is rated to run at 1Ghz by default; so it isn't suprising that our chips are hitting 1.0-1.1 with no problem.
Next - we are bumping the clocks a bit, but we are not really raising the voltage, which is normally the major source of chip killing heat.
As such, the onboard temp sensors that we do have, have never given me a reason to worry, so i don't Yes, a chip that could probably run for 20 years, now may only run 18, but that really isn't a worry...
Great question. I've been thinking about that myself and am happy to hear a confident answer.

Thanks Mr. Mudcat Appreciate the input. True, voltage is the heat demon but given how compact the NC is, one wonders if the restricted space might be a factor albeit negligible. 18 years on our NCs? The concept is boggling!
I've been OC'd to 1gHz since day one. I see more heat from charging than from heavy use at that speed.

I had the same fears when I got my Droid (stock 650 I believe) and after hours of forum reading and a friends advice, I OCed it to 800 to 1Ghz and have never had a problem in a year and a half.
I OCed my Nook right away to 925 and it runs soo smoothly!
im sorry for kinda going off topic but i cant overclock it the most i can go to is 528 which is lower then before.
My number one complaint so far about the nook is our OC speed... i think we can go higher.... heck my Droid 1 is at 1300 right now

I haven't had any issue with OC to 1ghz. Been running strong with no real noticeable heat issues.

Some nooks can go up to 1200, but not all. Maybe more voltage will help,but there comes a point where it is a risk where it can get too hot..
My OG Droid has been running at1Ghz for over a year now w/out problems. And that nearly 2x over stock speeds. I'm not overly concerned.
Heat management is the only concern, but I have yet to feel my NC get even remotely warm like my Droid does on occasion.
I have CM7 installed and mine won't run with less than 1.1ghz. I get fc's if I run stock clock speed. And I agree, I haven't noticed anything resembling excessive heat
I run OC'd on demand scaling with my max usually set to 1.1ghz, runs great I get no heat issues. I did nhave some stability issues, but updatiting the dalingren OC kernel for Froyo to I think the 2/25 version fixed that.
I use CPUtuner (free app on market); it works great, and has a good profiling system.
Hey guys,
Posted under general questions and to my surprise not one reply in a week. So, I'm curious to know somethings about overclocking these tablets. What settings are you using? Have you had any issues with overheating and shutting down?What settings are recommended for web browsing, gaming etc? Let's talk linpack and benchmark testing. Where do you rank and how did you get there? Let's talk SetCPU benchmark scores, what kind of results can you squeeze out out of your device? How does someone pull off 41916.7 MFLOPS?! (Nexus) I'll start......
GT-7310 Running 3.2 / Motley Kernal / SetCPU
SetCPU Scores
Long Bench @ 178ms / Native @ 621.5ms
Linpack Scores
Single thread @ 42.4 MFLOPS / Multi thread @ 83.2 MFLOPS
Obtained running 1504MHz max / 216MHz min
Note: I have overheated and shutdown at 1504 web browsing. At 1400MHz I have had no issues. I see some scores are through the roof. I'm not to familiar with Overclocking and just would like to hear what you guys have to say. Thanks in advance. I may of posted this in the wrong area and I apologize. I would like this to be a thread on the topic rather than a Q & A.
Well I personally run my tab @1200Mhz with -25mV on the 1000&1200 steps, but anyhow, due to the interactive governor the most used setps are 216, 456 and 1200. I don't undervolt the lower test for stability reasons as I mostly work on the tablet so I don't want to test yet how low uV can go, don't have the time to test it right now. (Even though I'm pretty sure -25mV even on lower steps is still largely stable)
As for the set CPU test I tried them out on 1504Mhz: 150 and 595ms. I once pushed the tab to 1600Mhz but it ended up in an immediate freeze so I will skip on trying that again.
I don't have linpack but tried running GLBench 2.1 Egypt and the score was pretty embarrasing
Thanks for sharing. Since my post I have flashed aokp-34 galaxiansoup with v-3 of the Motley Kernal. Running 1400 on 216 no undervolting and am seeing a tiny increase in numbers. I'm still stumped on these linpack scores. This thing runs great. No complaints whatsoever. Anyone want to chime in on the best bench testing app or what the stock numbers on these 7310's are?
everyone will tell you that benchmark scores aren't very representative!
run the test 5 times and each time you will get a slightly different score.
i don't really care about benchmarking, as long as i feel that my tab runs smooth (which i think it does) im pretty happy. im normally at 1,4ghz and everything is smooth and stable!
Thanks for sharing. I couldn't agree more. My tab runs great at the same speed settings as yours. I just don't understand the numbers and how certain device's have like 100 times my mflops......I'm a numbers guy by nature, I like to see it on paper....but I am content with my device. Just always looking to make it cleaner and faster.....you know the addiction I'm sure.
Are you happy with this kernel? I found it stuttering and laggy...

Yes, I've not ran into any issues. Totally impressed and content with v3 motley. If there is a better kernel out there I'd love to hear about. I have yet to look, no need.
Been running a few custom profiles via Setcpu peaking @1.5GHz on B37 for a few weeks now. Other than a force close or two and an occasional browser freeze, which is normal with these roms, this thing is running pretty snappy. Gotta watch the temp though.

I sure hope that you've set up your profiles so that your tab overclocks to 1.5Ghz only occasionally, it's a thing that you HW can handle it, but will it on the long term?
Also, I regret that you can't overclock the bus frequency to get an overall performance boost (the GPU could really use it..) as on the Galaxy S
Yeah, I'm only pushing 1.5 on occasion, per profile. I normally run 1.4 all day everyday for the last 3 months with heavy use and no issues. Just gotta watch the temp. I've had mine to 113 degrees which kinda scared me.

Hello!
I was wondering if someone could provide a kernel running at a speed above the 1.5 Ghz?
I think to remember that Maromi already offered a kernel with 1.6 Ghz but due to freezing issues (smartflex?!)
it's not available anymore.
Actually I'm having the 1.5 Ghz (thx to Maromi and Hashcode by the way!) running on the last CM10.1 (06/04)
with persanos tweaks (thx to him as well!).
The device isn't getting hot even while playing games, watching movies or running the Antutu Benchmark (~9200)

Hummm... I would use Hashcode's kernel but i'll see what else I find and get back to you.
Yeah, maromi and Hashcode have the lead on the kernel thing. They have been working together to provide the 1.5 ghz kernel. As far as I know it is the only stable OC kernel for Kindle. I remember I think it was Hascode said the Kindle actually isn't even meant to get up to 1.5, so to go higher than that probably not, and I think it was maromi said basically it was a fine balance between OC and heat issues and 1.5 ghz is really pushing the upper limits of the cpu. So just taking a guess, but probably won't see higher than 1.5.
I think the smartflex thing had something to do with the voltage tables of the CPU and I also read that maromi had a 1.7 but never released it. The overheating issues had to do with the smart flex being turned off but hashcode fixed that with a new voltage table for the 1.5. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed they can release something higher that is stable and doesn't overheat. I'd test it.
