Hi Guys.
What is overclock and how to get it.
Wats the use of it.
I am using project X
Overclock is the process of changing the frequency of the processor to a higher value. The use of it is to make the phone faster (nof sure of this). And of course if you overclock, your phone's battery will die faster. There's undervolting too.
You can get it by using apps like SetCPU from the play store. You also need a kernel with OC support e.g. Redux kernel, xs-ics.

Spot on zukri
On a basic level, if dome right it should make the phone more responsive, faster, smoother. It will raise the voltage which raises heat and more voltage is drawn from the battery though

Geez. This kind of questions are easy to answer. If there is an exam for this, I will get a straight A

There are different settings, Ondemand, Performance, etc. What should it be set to to get best performance and does the Set to Boot box be check marked off?
You mean XOOM overclock, right?
interactive is more responsive and use a Tad more resources than ondemand. For the XOOM being dual core interactive is fine. On demand requires a signal to increase speed whereas interactive just does it. I wouldn't set at boot until you know your settings are perfect. Set at boot sets the speed at boot rather than having to go in and raise or adjust speeds.
1.5 ghz and interactive work wonders for me.
Lol I'm probably the only one but I love performance/start on boot. My batt still lasts days and I never have to worry about touching a thing.

U leave it in performance at all times and u still have battery life for days? That's amazing.

Lol I thought so too. I work 50+ hrs a week though so I play with it once, maybe twice a day, for a Max of a couple of hours.

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

hi all
i have installed prime hd 9 with custom kernel i want to exactly know at what min and max CPU frequency should i keep for good high speed performance which is stable i kept some frequency at random and it was not that much speed it slowed my phone and in what governor should i keep
I personally dont recommend doing anything with your CPU because from my experience I didnt see so much difference and speeding up your CPU will make you battery drain faster and you CPU will reach highier temps. For the governor I use the performance one because it is constantly keeping the clocks on the highest set values. It makes the phone work smoother and while changing clocks its slowing the phone down. You can try and look for every governor meaning but I recommend the performance one. To monitor the temps use SetCPU`s widget.

Hy XDA,
I have a simple question:
Why does my phone turn off if i OC it too high?
Cpu can't handle it or battery overheat?

But Which?
All theese too?
Anyway i'll make a test:
I will OC higher and higher and run a Quadrant Benchmark, while holding my phone in front of a 90cm fan, without the phone's back cover
Will report the test's performance ^^

Its due to the cpu, every cpu is different, their tolerant limits for oc are different, you should oc the processor only uptill the point where it runs without any reboot.
Do not cross the safety limit, it might damage your processor.
Oh man. Accidentally pressed the thanks button again.
Volkswagen is cool and I hope to own one.
No problem, there we go there is a Big Thanks for you too

I OC my n7 to 1.5 and 51mhz and when I play games like mc4 the CPU gets to 70 are higher is that bad or good please help me.

Yes, it is really bad
As long as you don't push it behind 80°C you should be fine. But as always with silicon, the cooler the better longivity.

It never hits 80 only 70-75 and are you sure this is bad? And what should I OC it to?

K I put it at 1.5 and 204mhz is it still bad ?
The effects of heat are cumulative. Same thing for temperature cycling on material work-effects (e.g. fracture mechanics)
That means that a lower temperature for an extremely long time can be worse than a high temperature for a short time. There is no magic "you are safe below this temperature" assurance that can be handed out.
If you use your device hard, you will wear it out sooner - on average. (What an individual device will experience can not be predicted in advance.)

So what is the best Overclock settings for the motley kernel and what is the safe zone for my CPU while gaming or browsing or YouTube?

Try it and find out.
What is this?? Read the kernel thread. Why would you install a kernel without knowing anything about it?
I read everything about it.... I just need some good oc settings so it won't hit 70 while gaming or is it normal to get that high while playing intensive games?

There is nothing magical about 70C.
For long-duration loads (say gaming for several hours straight), the CPU temperature rise will be a certain temperature rise above ambient for that load condition - so somebody gaming outdoors in the tropics will experience a higher CPU temp than someone indoors in air conditioning.
My tablet (stock rooted) idles at about 38-40C with the screen on in a room at 20C (68F). Call that a 20C rise above ambient for an "idle, screen-on" condition.
I have coded a threaded native program meant to saturate each CPU core as well as the memory bus (& tweaked it for max temperature rise); when running it simultaneously with a long-lived graphics benchmark, I have seen peak cpu temps of 85C. This corresponds to a 65C rise over ambient. This is a ridiculous load, though.
As mentioned elsewhere, the stock kernel has thermal protection mechanisms: a rate throttle at 95C and an emergency shutdown at 100C. With that (above) ridiculous load, I couldn't get there with 4 cores @ 1.2 GHz. It is possible that by running the same load for many hours continuously (or inside a hot car) it might hit that limit though.
But I don't think that the existence of an emergency shut-off means that below that temperature means "your device won't experience long-term degradation" - more likely that emergency shutdown is there to prevent somebody's defective tablet from burning down a house. Asus/Google are much more concerned about tort lawyers and product liability lawsuits than they are about the longevity of somebody's stupid $200 tablet... that has an invalidated warranty.
If you are gaming for an hour or so at a time, 70 or 75C is probably not going to cause an immediate hardware failure.
Your tablet is made out of a bunch of materials that are subject to a variety of failure mechanisms. Every one of those mechanisms proceed at a faster rate at higher temperatures. (Remember the old rule of thumb "reaction rates double for every 10C rise in temperature"?)
So, enjoy your tablet for gaming. But don't leave the performance governor enabled all the time: your device will spend more time over the course of its life in an idle condition than actually doing anything for you - there is no point in you cooking it slowly to death while it does nothing useful for you.
cheers
You're right but I get 70c in a matter of minutes I think I'm just gonna retire from oc and stick with the stock kernel

it is better it in1.3 and min 200 (for battery saving) but 1.2 is well, why dont overclock gpu a bit, or use some tweaks or a new kernel

You can do it with M-kernel and trickster mod

I can't stress enough the importance of voltages to temps. On stock Trinity kernel I ran 1.6ghz at "default" voltages (can't remember how much, something like 1.2v) and hit temps of 95c.
I dropped it down to 1.125v and my temps went down to a max of 75c and usually much cooler.
Anyways, you'd be surprised just how much the voltage affects the temps.
Good luck guys!
