[Q] OC - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys
How much can we in theory overclock our cpus? And how do we know that it is safe to overclock at a value?

2,3GHz + 30% = 2,99GHz but there is no one who is such a phone murder like i but when i have a pc with linux i can try 3,4GHz dont know why but i just want test such extreme oc
and you see if its safe on your device when you test it cause most xz1 have another chipset version
ps the kernel with highest freq atm is triinity ultimate kernel by @f(x)THaxxorX which has 2,8GHz oc + 650MHz gpu oc

So it would be possible for someone making a kernel which can oc until 3ghz?
And what about gpu?
Ps yeah I know he has done great job

when i have a useable linux pc (which can take a while) i do something and maybe @f(x)THaxxorX can make something like an extreme edition for those who wanna kill there z1 :silly: would be cool
and i think 650mhz are pretty much, i think its enough for our z1 ^^

In theory you can overclock it as really high, but all chips are built differently and some can OC more than others (like PC cpus). However, unlike PC s, you cannot easily change the cooling on our phones and OC would definitely reduce the life of the phone if it's in constant stress. You could probably overclock it by increasing core voltage but remember it's a phone, not an overclockable rig. Sorry I couldn't give you an exact answer.

[Q] how to overclock any note's kernel?

how to overclock note's kernels and whats the max frequency that it can be clocked...
root it and install setcpu..

You cannot overclock just any Note kernel. Some don't support overclocking (like Franco), some do (like Abyss).
use odin to flash a kernel like CF or FM, after that your note will toot. Then install app like setcpu . You can overclock to 1.7GHz the Max. Enjoy your GSN !

max frequency depends on kernel. You can overclock with programs like setcpu, tegrak overclock, system tuner pro and etc. But your phone must be rooted
Abyss can go up to 1704Mhz

Once overclocked, I recommend trying a speed test app at the speed you want. If I try at 1700, it freezes, at least if it was warm to begin. At 1600 it seems OK.
Each chip is different, but this method will let you gauge the abilities of your processor. Keeping below any speed that causes problem under load will help prevent CPU damage.
sorry noob question, will overclock caused hardware damage?

Funny, when I had the ATT model I had it over clocked to 1853 and it was solid.

Dont forget "voltage control" thats a good one.
Overclocking will decrease the lifespan of a processor. For example intel processors easily work a fifteen year lifespan on stock values. On overclocked values this may decrease to five to ten years as not all processors are created equal. I wouldn't worry about it, i doubt you'll even be carrying the same phone after say, three years.

Overclocking the ULP in the Tegra 2 SoC?

Just looking on Wiki on the Tegra 2 section and noticed that there's 4 models of the Tegra 2, with the OX2 running lowest clocked version.
Our ULP GPU is clocked at 300Mhz but other versions in the same family have theres at 400Mhz.
Is there a kernal that allows GPU overclocking? Would be nice to get a 1.2-1.4Ghz CPU with a 400Mhz GPU..
old VorkKernel could do that... but it broke the camera

I would definately be interested in this myself as I already had a thread going asking about it. A total guess here, but I think the problem 'may' be in the voltage required to get it to 400mhz, rather than upping the mhz itself.
As I say I might be wrong! The Aandtech review of the O2X show's that it does in deed have 400Mhz memory, but only running @ 300Mhz. That just smacks of potential to me

On my old Acer Liquid Metal the last kernal I had supported overclockg on the adreno 205 GPU and let's just say that coupled with the new drivers that Qualcomm released and an overclock it was killing the PowerVR SGX540 in a lot of benchmark.
That must have been one hell of an overclock to achieve that!

Nah, the drivers alone added a 1.5-2x the performance gain!

I dont think so
Ask your kernel dev if he can help you
on horsepower 2x we can set the gpu frequency up to 350Mhz, i think it works...
may b r may b not

[Q] Update kernel?

Hi everyone, I'm a noob in this case, so I wuold ask you something...
Yesterday I rooted my inc s but even if I can now download games like "fast & furious 6" it won't work even if I overclocked the CPU.
My question now is:" How could I install a new kernel to increase the GPU bandwidth limit?
I downloaded "Beastmode Incredible S" kernel but I don't know how to proceed.
Hope u can help me. Thx!

Uhh device information?
And also if a game does not work on your phone, it means it doesn't work. I doubt increasing GPU bandwidth limit or overclocking would make it work. It would certainly increase performance but it wudn't make something work.
And to install a kernel, we REALLY need to know your device details.

Hi, thx for the reply, I start saying that I need to oc the gpu because some games (games that work with my phonenot like fnf6) lag a bit. I'm sure it's not a cpu problem 'cause I raised it to 1.4 ghz using a conservative governor, but I think it's a gpu problem.
In this case could u tell me what I have to do and what details do u need? Thx.

Can you post the device specifications, like how a lot of us have what it says in the bootloader for our signatures?

One plus 3 overclock to max possible power

Anyone is able to do a kernel ( possible based on cyanogenmod) with overclock support?
If is possible, add the maximum overclock on snapdragon 820...
This will get us more performance and higher benchmark

I already knew that? I'm not the OP. I were simply just asking why a OC is needed. That's all

but elementar x only can overclock to 2.2 ghz
i know that snapdragon 820 can be oc over 2.2 ghz

This +1000
This phone/CPU/GPU handles almost all content the Play Store can throw at it with ease. You may have slight FPS drops with the odd game, but you are not going to rewrite history gaining 4fps from a marginal over clock and even then you'd be better over clocking the GPU not the CPU anyway.
I agree with others. This obsession with Antutu scores is utterly pointless. And overclocks are a monumental waste of battery in the form of heat.
This obsession is almost as annoying as the folk that don't use any apps and wake their screen every now and then too increase screen on time, to then boast that they managed 12hours SOT.

That is false... The storage solution is what makes things Load quicker and what governor/io scheduler youre using. Over clocking is useless and trust me I know, I've over clocked every phone of mine until I realized all it does is cause instability, less battery life and more heating. The only viable over clocking is the GPU.

Are you retarded? The phone's already super fast. But no, MUH MAXIMUM POWER FOR ANTUTU!

How to overclock

Hi
I want to know how to overclock the CPU,when I use EX kernel to overclock,the hightest option is 2.2G,I saw some one overclock the CPU to 2.2G even 2.3G,but how to do this
By the way, can the GPU be overclocked?

You probably meant that little cores are on 2188 MHz and big cores 2342 MHz. That's not an overclock, these are actual stock core clock speeds.
No way to overclock. Why even do that on a smartphone and SD821?

Most of the times, the answer to that question would be nothing more than: "because I can". :laugh:
