I'm guessing no since tegra drivers are close-sourced. But I could be wrong.

The GPU is indeed Overclock able, and the epeen version of vorkKernel for CyanogenMod Overclocks the GPU a little

Thank you.. do you know how much? btw brothers in arms 2 is lagging like hell..

The GPU is overclocked from 355Mhz to 366Mhz, on the EPEEN version of vorkKernel. But remember only to flash it if you're running CyanogenMod

Wiki says original is 300mhz for 2x or am i missing something? Btw strange thing ive noticed when running multitouch benchmark try to add more than two fingers and whatch fps drops from 120 fps to 60.. is that normal or there is touch bug like there was in optimus p500.

300Mhz might be the default. In that case we have some OC on the default one too.
Lag might occur on touch depending on ROM and stuff. One some devices a lot of log spam happens, and this slows down the device considerably

Ok thank you, same drops on cm7 fresh install as on fresh stock v10b its like 10 fps for each finger..

i need some help to overclock
n now running miui , expected its kernal to support overclock but still setcpu shows only 1ghz max

It's kernel doesn't support OC, you should flash an alternative kernel like swiftkernel, see thread in dev section.
And you're off topic, his thread if about gpu overclock, not CPU.

oopsy sorry
so whats the difference :O
the tegra also can be overclocked??
i'm new here n new to flashing

GPU is the graphics chip.
CPU is the chip used for everything else.
Overclocking the CPU will see performance gains in nearly every field, and the Tegra 2 can be overclocked from 1GHZ to 1.55GHZ or so.

oh thanks , but what is it that we usually overclock??
is it the cpu or the gpu??
seen o2x with 1.5ghz
so is it the cpu that is oc or the gpu??

just a quick through :
cpu can be overclocked(controlled by pimp my cpu/setcpu)
gpu based on source code can be overclocked too, but i can't find any voltage control that control gpu clock. so, overclock gpu is really minimal, from usual 335mhz to 366mhz. in benchmark, you won't see any noticeable score. so, i don't know if the gpu overclocking working fine or not, 30mhz increase seems not helping...
cheers...

Is there any way to reach 400mhz?

Yes it comes.. but based on my testing,it will cause black screen of death after screen turn off for several minutes. Normal clock or a little increase doesn't make those problem.

Try to set cpu min to 800mhz.

Question: CPU O/C to 800MHz...isn't that risky, the hardware O/C at 768MHz gets unstable, so how will battery/stability be affected by such a high clock speed...also anyone know how hot it runs at 800MHz?

can you add savagedzen governor?

I was thinking the same thing.
My phone crashes at 768MHz
Also, could you possibly enable undervolting?
(Can the Wildfire even BE undervolted?)

I thought about this, depending on your device (some have more kick than others) you might be able to get this high, I did this because I have seen phones with 1GHz processors overclocked to 2GHz.
If you are stable at 768, you could try higher, but it is your choice.

You will have to use a lower frequency then, I can't go any higher than 691MHz without crashes, but some people are fine on 768.
I am not sure about undervolting though.

I'm running stable at 710MHz, didn't try anything between 710 and 768 tho.

thanks for savagedzen.... it work?
for freq stay on 710, max 728 and phone doesn't crash.

Savagezen works, using it now.
Next version will have up to 768MHz but with more intervals

Yeah likewise, I am stable and very few if any system FCs at 728 MHz...so theoretically you can add near 80% more CPU speed with the right governor? Haha wishful thinking I know but imagine the Wildfire at 810+ :]

Yeah, I am going to put the CPU max speed back down to 768, and add some more governors.
I think 800MHz is a bit crazy, 768 is good.
Does anyone know how to do an update.zip? I have an idea to make a script that fetches the kernel and wifi module, then shoves it in a zip with an updater script and binary.
Currently looking at CM7 updater script in the zip to try and learn how to do these things.

Mine runs perfectly fine at 768 too, on every rom. 768 is fine for me though I don't think it needs pushing any further.

With the right CPU governor, you should be okay at 768, maybe you could have 778?

To make things clear, at 768 MHz wildfire doesn't crash at any app except games, when you play for 2 or more hours it simply reboots. At 748 MHz it behaves the same. It's fully stable at 729 MHz, so 800 MHz it's unreal

Is that just from your experience or have you actually tested every single wildfire ever produced, I have 2 wildfires and both run perfectly fine and stable at 768, would also probably run just as well above this and have never rebooted on me after playing games continuously for a lot more than 2hours.
And just to make things clear some people cannot use the phone at 729 as it unstable and freezes.

[Q] Overclocking ace with SetCPU?

i got freez on my phone every try i want to overclock it via setcpu,i currently using Grif CM rom,before overclock i flash the OC kernel named ketut,and then installed setCPU.First i was try to set max to 844mhz and min to 122mhz,if i goes up my phone starts to freez after few seconds...i was seen something on youtube that it could be run on 903 mhz even on 940mhz so what's the point?
and sry for the language....

What's the point ?
The point is that all CPUs are different like humans .
Like us people , some can withstand going faster while other cannot .
It's all down to how much the CPU can do
Herpderp Adreno + Tegra.

Yup. Listen to him.

You can try a rom based on stock instead of cm7 and try the cf-root OC kernel. Might be the same though.

Going over 844 can cause damage to your CPU. I would recommend not doing so
Yes, people have taken it to 904 and then drained full battery in about half hour.
So, if you're so unhappy, buy a new phone

[Q] Can't Overclock my ACE

i know this is noob but here i go,
Well this strange thing that bothers me. when ever i try to OC, with a OC kernel my phone's CPU drops to 600mhz.. donno why and there is no way around it. i tried to OC through CM7.2... its like Setting> Cyanogen > performance.. and there it shows only up to 600mhz. :crying: please help me... also i would appreciate if anyone could recommend a OC kernel for me. :laugh:

Try SetCPU
Enviado desde GALAXY Ace S II [email protected] 2

What do you mean it drops to 600MHz?
Becuase one thing is Min and Max CPU speed and other is the current speed...
+ Which ROM you have installed?
+ How do you know it drops to 600MHz?

Try setcpu app.

I'm using Tegra Overclock, Pimp My Rom, System Tuner Pro and Trickster Mod.
LoKKeR, I'd highly recommend Tegra Overclock for settings number of CPUs.

I'm trying to use Tegra Overclock a lot since it sounds really useful but when I install it I CAN'T DO ANYTHING! Seriously, I touch the icons and nothing happens, the only thing that happens is that the cpu freq on top is allways updating, but the app itself doesn't let me do anything ! Any thoughts about it ?
