Over clocking what is safe?

Ok What about overclocking an Qtek 9100?
What is safe and stable to do without dameging the device?
Greetz Jip

Most of what I've seen is about 240MHz. I've seen some have success as high as 264, but if you go much higher than that you run a real risk of burning out your processor.

Even I have read of people not going beyond 240 mhz. I have overclocked it t 234 mhz.
Cheers!

ive had mine running at 273mhz now for a few months with no problems at all

i have mine running at 286 mhz! no problems at all. beyond that it crashes.. tried 300 mhz, hehehe but crashed the ppc
i can post screenshot if you want! i use battery status and other tweaks as well. Works like a charm really.
And if you are afraid of damaging the CPU use the CPU scaller function of battery status!

Yeah screens would be nice thx all of you i clocked it to 264 now.

Can somebody answer to my question: Can, and how serious overclocking affect on battery standby/talk time?

Simple,more you overclock,more battery will be consumed.

And, how overclocking apply to phone performance? In percentage please.

Ive been running mine at 260 for almost a year now and no problems except the battery drain is noticeable vs 200

Anyone else not able to clock over 1100?

After trying out all the 1200 and the 1250 kernels, my phone just doesnt like them while using setcpu. With Setcpu set at performance and maxed out at 1200 my phone will run for a little bit and then lock up. If I try to run a quadrant it will freeze up when the immage starts to walk up the steps to the blue room requiring a battery pull. I am currently running an 1100 kernel that is stable on my phone but would like to run 1200 or even higher as 2.2 comes out and newer kernels are released. Is anyone else having a problem running above 1100? I'm still within my 30 day window and could easly take it back and get another phone, but in reality there is nothing wrong with the one I have, I just want it to run faster (than intended) so would I be wrong in taking it back to get a new one that will run at 1200 or higher? Thanks.

You should be running in conservative mode in setcpu regardless of the kernel...should fix your problem...

Why is that? I always ran performance on my Incredible without a problem. Granted, I realize that this is a different phone/processor. Wouldn't Conservitive keep the processor from max performance?

No, it will rev up the processor when you need it. I don't know if this will stop your phone from freezing while it's being taxed hard @ 1200 though ie Quadrant
Some people can run 1250, some have to stick to stock speed. I think it's mostly luck.

I think its because of all the different hardware they put into this phone to pump it out. Ontop of that the kernel code was not complete that samsung released.

[Q] Safe overclock mhz

Hello this is my second post.
I downloaded yesterday the app "WinMoSpeed" and i am wondering how far i can go with overclocking. I really don't want that my blackstone bricks. So what is a safe level of mhz i can set ? Currently it's set to 576,0 Mhz, but i don't know if that's too high or too low so i can go further. Please help .

hi, i have pushed my blackstone at 730mhz, but sometimes hangs, and I need to softreset.
Using it a 653 mhz works fine for me, but depends a lot on hardware, someone can overclock much more than others.
I do not think it could brick your device, only thing it could happen is a device hangs, you can solve it with a soft reset.
I've installed the overclock software on sd card, so if you mess up something you need just restart your device without the sd card and the frequency is set to default.
Hope i'd help.

PS. I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSABILITY IF YOU OVERCLOCK YOUR DEVICE AND DO SOME DAMAGE.

In my experience safe overclock speeds for everyday use are 595 to 633. No overheating. No lockups.
Also it will not have a significat impact on your battery life.

Hi it's running at 710 mhz now, but my battery drains like hell. Is it because overclock or S2U2 ? I installed S2U2 at the same time with overclock.

In my opinion if it's for 100MHz it's really not worth the shot

Also, if you're also using Android maybe you wanna check out this thread:

710 MHz it's quite a OC, of course your battery it will drain a lot. I think that on about 650 MHz it enough for a snappier device and for a good battery life.
hope i help.

A question. Have you ever thought how many months will last after overcloack mobile phone? I think it will not last long ...

Take in mind that probably you will shorten the CPU life.

I tested on 614 MHz with no notable battery draining. It's about a 15~20% more than standard 528 MHz so I think it's enough to the poor Blackstone.
BUT I ALSO tried to create other "underclock" settings, so that when I sleep or rest, I leave the device "resting" like me (I need the phone running 24h/24). I tried that it will run not far of 200 MHz and I hope this will help the Blackstone life.

for the overclocking in android any aplication?

Hi, I'm not the best person to answer, but I think the android versions for this phone already comes with overclocking. Because the mobile phone quite warm at the bottom (like when we overclocked), and when I'm on windows mobile and pitch for the android when it is overclocked it will not let me open the andoid, a freeze of the mobile phone and need restart.
But what I think is probably a person becomes more knowledgeable than me to answer.

is possible overclock in android 2.2.2 with set cpu in the blackstone? thanks

Has anyone overclocked the Froyo build?

Overclocking ROMs heat issue?

I am going to be getting an Atrix in the next few days and will install the Aura ROM right off the bat, but im wandering, since it appears to use an OC'ing kernal, what effect will this have on heat and battery life? presumably negative, but how much so? i dont want another phone which heats up like mad, but i do like the look of the ROM. please help out an Android n00b
thanks

Just because it can overclock doesn't mean you have to. I use set cpu and keep mine undervolted and set to 1.1ghz. Idle around 30 celsius and when I game it gets up to 50 degrees.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

the atrix on stock 1.0 ghz gets REALLY hot so yea i would assume it would just get hotter MUCH hotter but you can get a setcpu and just set your processor down when you dont use it much or make profiles to automatically do it

great, so the rom just allows OCing, not forces it? thats good to know, thanks

it will automatically clock itself to 1.3ghz, you'll need a program like SetCPU or PimpMyCPU to set it to not OC itself.
i suggest SetCPU myself, it can be found on the market. i prefer buying it over getting it for free here on XDA, we gotta support our devs right?

What actually causes overclock unstability ?

Hi,
My LG P500 (Rocking 512MB!) has a custom recovery since february, now. Since then I've been switching ROMs a lot, the first being CM11 which I switched really quickly to CM7, rock stable and fast, still one of the best ROMs I've tested. Also tried CM12 (KitKat), AOKP, VoidForever and Oxygen.
Using Oxygen at the moment, being the lightest and fatest, really stable.
Naturally I've been playing around with CPU frequencies since february too which was really useful in the long run. Underclocking and underclocking, while I did not kept the LG overclocked 100% of the time.
I did more benchmarks and stuff on Oxygen, testing out more overclock frequencies stability - people complaining of fried CPUs are rare to my knowledge (Well, didn't read much), and anyway, I can now find the LG P500 for 30-50$ used. My LG starts rebooting from 787 MHz, so I generally can use 729-768 MHz for a few time. I always depend on which factors, how much times does it actually takes before the device reboot due to unstability/unstable overclock, which I would like to know why, the hardware logic behind the reboot.
729 MHz has been really stable since a long time - I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like the CPU might be weakening after all this time, if it's possible at all? Not sure. But it does happend that it randomly reboot on 729 MHz still, pretty rare. Doesn't matter thought, if the CPU happens to die, I'll just buy another cheap one I guess.
But what is the actual cause of these reboots, overclocking sure push the CPU more than it should, so in theory it shorten battery life, and CPU lifespan too, also produce more heat. Which makes senses that when the phone get too hot, it reboot due to a thermal protection, same thing goes for computers.
Still sometimes, battery isn't that hot anyway, 32 degrees? 30? I've never exceeded 40 (Which is really rare, while charging - at this point I stop using the phone for a while) Apparently, LG P500 does not support showing the CPU temperature, tried, no succeed.
So is the CPU going too hot in that case? I'm aware I couldn't do anything to, hm, make overclock more stable, impossible besides lowering the frequency, but I'm just curious, would just like to know the logic, why does the phone choose to reboot? Just simply crashing? Hm, may I ask, what causes this crash? Entirely hardware related, right? I've tested overclocking with different kernels, while Android 4.0 had a worse tolerance to higher overclock, doesn't matter which kernel, my device can never get above 768 MHz without an instant crash. Why is the crash instant ?
Would like to know the logic behind overclocking affecting stability, please. Is that explainable? Exclusively hardware crashing? Or hm, does the software report any kind of alert at some moment, I don't know?
(On a side-note, never managed to overclock my PC CPU, Intel Core i3-2350M Sandy Bridge, apparently locked. Not ready to do this (Not the same price value obviously!), just wanted to see if that was possible on my laptop and so, how. Never figured that out, well, doesn't matter)
Thanks
