Hi folks,
I was just wondering, what are everyone's speeds? I shall start first I have attached a screenshot of my voltages, speeds, and governor.
WARNING : I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE YOUR NOOK MIGHT INCUR AS A RESULT OF TRYING ANY OF OVERCLOCK CONFIGURATIONS MENTIONED HERE.
Quick note - i would strongly suggest backing your CPU down to a max of 1200Mhz. For some reason, any speed above that will tank your GPU performance (by as much as half); the additional 100Mhz CPU loss isn't really felt (especially with the GPU gains).

Is there anyway to confirm this? How can I measure GPU performance?
I set mine at 1200MHz and didn't bother playing with cpu voltage.

It has been well confirmed in severl threads (Cm7 dev and general), but you can easily test yourself with nenamark 1. Set your clocks to 1200, and run the bench; then set your clocks to 1300, run again (and watch your framerate plummet).

I tried your little scenario of dropping down to 1125mhz and running nenamark. I was 14.8 running 1125mhz and at 15.6 at 1300mhz. I am running chainfire plug ins.
Sent with my Nook, paid the $Buck for XDA Premium—you should 2!
And what do those numbers mean?
14.8 is better or worse compared to 15.6?

Odd.. i can get 21 Fps at @1200.. i would have expected the 1125 to be around the same; though the 1300 sounds right on.
I got 16.3 fps using my current setup. Lawl. What part of android uses 3d acceleration anyway?

UH.. android, not alot, but pretty much any game (or even some web browsers like Opera). Its easy to "lawl", but it actually DOES matter...

Good point however I don't play any games that uses 3d. I don't really play any games. Just browsing with dolphin and lots of email.
I will take it down per notch as per your suggestion once I update to a newer version though.
Also, some of the framerate difference may come from you running the 32bit framebuffer kernel, instead of the faster 16bit (but if you don't game alot, you may not really need it anyway).
Scratch that. I just tested it. I got 22.9fps. Lawl. I am now tweaking it again. What are your voltages?
Thanks for the suggestion again. 1200 MHz Max for me.
P.s. how do I check which framerate buffer am I running?

If u don't play any games, then why to bother for the 3D loss of 1300mhz?
I would prefer to use the extra speed.

Frankly, i am under the personal impression that overall the system is more responsive at 1200, and that is not just the GPU. Something about that speed is the sweet spot.
And really.. only rarely will a system that does web pages and email hit max speed anyway... why not opt for a better all around performance, rather than an immeasurable CPU gain?
I know this could be kind of off topic, but what battery temperatures do you guys get when overclocking? because the other day mine was at 36 Celsius overclocked at 1200, Does anyone knows of a safe temperature range?
Mine hovers around 34 to 36. My hd2 goes up to 43 and that is fine too. Honestly, I would think that as long as it is under 40 you should not worth.
I use 300 min and 1200 max and have the governor set to on demand. No issues with this setting.
300 - .8125
600 - 1.0
800 - 1.1875
1100 - 1.25
1200 - 1.2875
Haven't used it much recently, but about 5% drain for 24 hours in sleep. I need to put it through some heavy use to see how bad I can kill the battery.

You probably got the voltages reversed. Not possible to run 300 mhz on 1.2875. Lawl.

This was my initial setting as well (with the exception of running the max at 1300mhz). However, I realized that it wasn't the max speed that was the issue, I found out that increasing the lower-steppings was key in increasing the overall fluidity of the device as the interactive governor ramped through the steppings.
Is it just me, or don't tegra-optimized games benefit much from overclocking ?
I have Rogue-Kernel 1.3.1 (with GPU OC) running and can definitely say it's working nicely. (Antutu bench @ 1.6Ghz/ performance 7200+ points, @ 1.0Ghz = 5000+)
Playing Riptide or Shadow Gun, I don't really see much of a difference. Just underclocking to <= 400 Mhz produces lower framerates. Obviously these games are heavily GPU-dependant and don't really care about the CPU.
The Rogue-Kernel is overclocking the GPU as well (given you don't install the "N" Version). So is there a way to change settings for the GPU, or is it maybe linked to a "clock-network" like some other chipsets, or is it overclocked automatically - depending on the CPU-speed ?
thanks in advance ...
hm, so all you overclockers are oc-ing for benchmark numbers only
Hello
I recently acquired a nook color and i am going to install cynogen mod 7.1 and google apps from clock work recovery method, but i want to overclcok to 1.2 or 1.3 ghz, i understand that cynogen mod has an overclock facility built in, the part i am not sure about is to reach 1.2 ghz or 1.3 ghz do i have to use dalingrin overclock kernel to achieve these speeds, or is it possible in cynogen mod 7.1 without the kernel.
Any info would be appreciated.
Regards
Mark
Dal's kernel has been included in there for a while now. If you use 7.1 stable to later nighlies you are definitely safe.
ok, thats great, thanks for the reply, appreciated.

It appears the GPU may run best at 1200, even thou the CPU can do up to 1300.
It certainly seems to be true that going past 1200 can slow down graphic intensive operations. I am guessing that's probably because the graphics processor has to run at a ratio of the CPU and going past 1200 ends up with a lower graphics frequency.
But depending on the type of applications used there can be benefit in going higher and most Nooks seem to be capable of 1350. This can be seen in two different benchmarks. Quadrant gives significantly higher scores at 1350 than 1200 whilst the graphically more intensive Nenamark is slower at 1350 then 1200.
I ended up using 1200 anyway as it feels fast and probably also helps with battery life.
Check the voltage settings as well as these can normally be lowered a bit to help again with battery life. I use the one's originally quoted by Dal and don't have any stability issues. ( 09.25 / 1.05 / 1.2 / 1.275 / 1.325)
I did a comparison of 1200 and 1350 MHz with the Sunspider JavaScript bench. 1350 is faster but frankly I have a hard time telling the difference between even stock clock and 1350 in actual practical usage.
The most obvious speed boost I've found is running 16bit color. Big difference in browser scrolling performance.
Is overclocking it fully safe?

From the standpoint that breathing in a metropolitan area is not fully safe, no it is not.
I use the stepper built-in to 7.1 stable and have never given it a second thought.
Try nook color tweaks.

I have run at 1200 / 1350 for the last 4 months and it has been stable and I have not seen any real detectable difference in battery performance or in how warm the device gets. The governor means that a lot of the time the Nook is running at lower clock speed anyway.
I don't recollect seeing any reports of damage on this forum to the Nook through over-clocking. Increasing voltages from the stock values on the other hand is probably not a good idea. There may possibly be longer term effects from overclocking but I'd guess the effect on lifetime is small enough that most people will have changed their device before it is significant.

Being that Nooks CPU is underclocked by default. It is very safe.

Hi there!
I'm have been trying several different ROMS and tweaks to improve my general AnTuTu Score. Although I have a general idea what affects what score there's still one mystery to me - the 3D score.
I've been getting values from 1.000 to sometimes 1.800 and everything in between those two.
I can't seem to get consistent values here. I got the highest values on CM 10 stable (something like 1.900 3D score, up to 9 FPS in the "ogre fighting" benchmark part) and now on JB 4.2.1 (Fishears and CyanAOSP 0.7.5 and 0.6.5) the highest I got was 1.600 with 7 FPS max at the ogre fighting scene.
It's just mind boggling that I cant seem to find out how to raise this score.
Does anyone know WHAT exactly affects this score? I mean which tweaks do you guys run to improve this? Does the 3D score fluctuate as much for others too?
AW: [Q] How can you affect the AnTuTu 3D Score?
My values are from 1400 to 2200 and i have also no idea why.

It's kinda strange that no one seems to know... ;D
But it seems that Live OC as in Semaphore or Devil Kernel speeds up GPU too and therefore increases the 3D score too. (as opposed to normal OC of just the CPU)
Hello, as I mentioned I am facing low fps and poor performance in pubg and when I ran the geekbench test it games 1k in singlecore and 3k in multicore test. I am using stock oos oreo with blushark( I don't remember the name lol) kernal with unlocked bootloader. It also shows only 3 cores idk why, and the score is very low compared to other scores on browser.geekbench which shows 2k for single core and 5.5k for multicore. Please help!
I'll try to keep updating my research on this.
I did a hard reset and installed omni rom 8.1 which got me a 80% increase in single core benchmark (~1850) and 25% increase in multi core benchmark(~3925). Single core benchmarks are now around the same as of what others test results are showing in browser.geekbench, but multicore benchmark is still less. :/
Aah I settled on omni ROM 8.1 with caesium kernel and disabled touchboost and changed big cluster governer to ondemand from conservative. I now could play pubg smoothly on 1280x720p with high graphics and extreme fps thanks to gfx tool app before I couldn't even play the game with so smooth graphics and 956x500 blah blah resolution. I noticed the CPU would throttle down and reduce the frequencies for big cluster to like ~1530mhz and little to ~1350 MHz but the gameplay was good.

Stock kernel will give you the best results IMO. Try the Bane kernel, is good too

Will try that too! Thanks!
The stock kernel gave me the above result 1850 singlecore and 3900 for multicore and after caesium kernel I got 4050 in multicore and 1650 in single core. But I don't how to go back to stock kernel without reinstalling the rom :/

Use a file manager, such as Solid Explorer, to copy boot.img from the ROM zip file and flash it in TWRP by selecting Image in the install option.

I am back on the stock kernel of omni rom 8.1 which gives me a average score of 1900 in single core and 3900 in multicore tests and pubg runs great on hdr 720p 60fps although it doesn't run at full 60 fps and there are some stutters here and there but gameplay is very good.
Simple fact: oos sucks except its face unlock.
