Overclocked Htc Desire HD benchmarking

Hello every one ..
i overclocked my htc desire HD just to see what i could get out of it ..
if i went further than 1536 it would crash ...
And to be honest i dont need it, i just tought it would be fun
i uploaded af video with the benchmark ..
Check it out: youtube.com/watch?v=PPRq4vTNB3Y
Im running 1460 now.. and im more than happy with that
PS. im not verified by moderator .. so i had to remove some of the link

youtube.com/watch?v=PPRq4vTNB3Y
BTW:
AWESOME WORK MATE!!

so your max now is 1460.
how about the min?
any of you guys who use this had discover an optimum min value? (i.e save on battery drain)

Getting past 1459 MHz is an achievement.
Im running 1459 -100mA havent tried to push it past that,but a lot of people can't.
@roopney you use setCPU min setting 245 MHz and set scaling on demand.

is there a dummies guide for this and also how does it affect battery temp and battery life

Yes, i put my max to 1460 .. But when i did the bench i was @ 1536 or so ..
i dont need to overclock that high ..
i dont even need the overclock .. but its fun , and it doesnt hurt

[Q] Real world noticeable benefits of Over clocking G2?

Hey,
So I'm on the fence about perma rooting and over clocking my G2, but i have a few questions:
1) Will my battery life suffer greatly due to over clocking say to 1Ghz or 1.4Ghz?
2) Are there any real world noticeable real world performance gains besides benchmark scores?
3) Will perma-Rooting it decrease performance? (Back when i had the mytouch 3g, the phone never felt as snappy after i rooted and installed custom roms, as compared to stock).
Thanks

1) battery life is the same if not better when overclocked with setcpu in ondemand mode at 245/1100mhz
2) there is a definite performance increase
3) custom roms can decrease performance depending on the rom and ui (sense is a bit heavy). Just simply rooting will not decrease performance. Also, CM6.1 is super snappy, especially using Launcher42
DO IT!

Launcher42? that's a heck lot of upgrade from Launcher2 I'd like to check it out
but he's right overclocking is not going to eat up your battery much. Heavy graphic ROMs do however suck up battery and performance. I personally like to stick to rooted stock roms and tune up here and there to fit my personal needs.
You should however read carefully and make sure to understand every steps you're doing if you want to root your phone.

Alright I'm going to give it a shot later tonight probably, i forgot about the SETCPU profiles where you can have the phone under clocked while the screen is off. That should definitely give me better battery life. Ill be back to post results

Good luck and I'm sure you will enjoy your G2.
Oh, and don't forget to show it off to your friends. Let them see how this thing "Fly"

I oc to 1.4+ with setcpu and a few profiles set up i get much better bat life then stock. Im also running a sense rom which feels sluggish until you oc. At 1.4 it runs smooth as can be with live wallpapers plus all the pretty sense animations. The only problem i have is i hate the sense dialer and msg system also i want to change the "personalise" tab....do people really change theyre settings everyday that they need a dedicated button for it? Anyway i digress

No, that's not entirely true BUT with SetCPU you can profile it with different mode which can benefit the battery life.

I don't notice any difference in battery and I have the 1.9ghz kernel. I normally keep it at 1ghz though. I enjoy it overclocked. My games run incredibly smooth, when navigating my phone it literally almost feels like it knows what i'm pressing a split second before i do and benchmarks rape the face off anyone else I know with an android phone. It's just sooo smooth. It really boils down to being the kind of person who likes to hold a powerhouse of a phone in the palm of their hand. (Literally) with even just the 1.4ghz OC you'll never have to ask yourself "can my phone run this without being sluggish?" because the answer is yes, it can probably even run two or three instances of whatever made you question yourself in the first place without being sluggish. Any if you're worried about custom roms from the past, just remember how outdated your old android is compared to this one. No offense because I can relate, I used to have a G1 that is now a hand-me-down to my brother and whenever he asks me to mod something on it, I'm just amazed at how slow it is and really don't know how I tolerated it for the last 2 years. I mean I'd score a 150 quadrant on the G1 (on a good day) but with my full OC on, the G2 scores 3000~3100. That's roughly 20 times faster...
Bottom line is that you won't need to worry about "will this make my device sluggish?" for quite some time.

Hey
Alright guys i got the phone perma rooted now, but i havent installed an OC kernel yet, two questions.
-Which kernal should i install if i want 1.4Ghz? there seems to be two threads with 1.4ghz kernels
-Do i need to install Bacon Bits for the kernel?

just install cm6.1 and setCPU and you will be fine, then you can tweak it up to 1.42 if you like or whatever you want it at

Any heat related issues? Let's say I get into a zone and play some graphics intensive game 6 hours straight on USB power at 1.4Ghz? Wouldn't that put out more heat then the G2 was design to handle possibly shortening its life span?

It doesn't. However, overclocking is misnomer. What we really mean is over and UNDER clocking. For example with SetCPU is can create a profile that greatly slows down my CPU when the screen is off. This saves the battery a lot, since my screen is nearly always off.
Also, I can create profiles that slow down the CPU as the battery lowers in order to offset the fact that I overclock the CPU when the battery is fuller.

Probably could shorten the life span. I keep phones for a year or two, though, and shortened life span for me isn't an issue. The phone becomes outdated before the CPU gives up.

^This.
I've gone a full 10 hours with my battery still reporting 100%.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

my default sense rom does not feel sluggish at all.
this oc is not really required from my point of view. and it also does not increase battery. the thing what increased is the underclocking when screen is off.
and this you can do even without overclocking. and THEN it brings even more gain.

an example of "real world" for me is how well my g2 plays PSX games on the emulator. I have it overclocked at 1.5 on setcpu and it runs chrono cross pretty much flawlessly with no noticeable slow down.

i use setcpu for underclocking since i don't do enough just yet to overclock, i haven't noticed any battery increase just yet and i've been using it for a few days now. i almost questioned my self if i was losing battery life due to my system mhz always fluctuating? is this a possibility? i just added a profile for screen off 245/245 but i still had to choose on demand? what should i put there. thanks for ur help everyone

I installed the bacon bits 1.4ghz kernel and setup some setcpu profiles.....battery life is much better now.

[Q] LV or SV?

when overclocking which one is best for beast mode?
LV or SV?

LV or SV? I am taking it you are using Faux's kernel in that case LV means low voltage and SV means stock voltage. Which has more to do with power efficacy as lower voltage will be more battery consumption friendly. Far as the OC thing goes they are both sharing same enchantment as they don't differentiate. So try LV first and if it does not bootup as not all chips are same then try SV.

thanks for the info and yes they both load up fine
but in LV my phone isnt that hot as it is in SV
weird? because u say LV eats up more battery so its working more right?
idk but thx good info nice benchmark score
what would be the best scaling for overclock
i run performance at 1.84 the whole day seems to be working fine
but like to here info from anybody

I know i'm going to stand alone on this one.
Unless you are trying to prove something to someone or get stupid high Quadrant scores there is no real reason for overclocking your phone.
I'd recommend backing down from 1.84 and using something less than 1.5.

No I said LV uses less power where SV is using little higher voltage. If you want balanced device I would recommend you use LV. Far as scaling to max @1843mhz all the time goes it will have adverse effect in long run. BTW only reason your phone is running hot is because you have it scaled at max frequency.
HKM said:
Well yes if you OC you are in danger of frying the SoC due to heat as you might know from middle school when thinks are hot they expend and when its cool they contract. So this consent extend/contract cycle has impact and can fry or crack the circuit in long run thus limiting the life expectancy.
Now that being said OC does have its power more for us its the control so we can manually increase the power when needed like I do to conserve battery power and underclock it when power is not needed as it will waste battery. Based on how you have setup you can setup mCPU profiles but make sure when its idle (screen off) you have the lowest min frequency selected.

No we all share that as no need to scale to max when not needed that way you only kill more battery and slowly wear out the SoC. lol but ya if you are showing off your phone to your friend then scale it other than that I don't see what anyone need to run at MAX scale for 24/7. I personally have my setup underclocked.

wow thx for clearing it up
yes max is on 24/7 for couple more days
just testing how well it can work
so ill guess ill stick with LV for now
since ill be out IT'S FRIDAY

again if u have info on scaling blackshelf you'll make me smile again LOL

[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.

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.

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?
What's safe?

Huawei P8 Lite OverClock?

Hay everyone! ​
here, i have some questions... here it goes :laugh:
Is there any possibility that we will get OC (overclock) for our p8 lite?
If we will get cpu oc will it be possible to overclock GPU?
How much is our gpu capable of and whats the current clock?
Vulkan API support one day???
Thanks!

OC - definetly kernel related
Vulkan API - pretty old gpu sadly, it can receive vulkan, but it depends on Mali

You may be able to overclock the CPU, but it isn't worth it. Already the battery life is bad to terrible(at least in my case) so overclocking a CPU-> making it more power-hungry will crush the battery life. And I'm pretty sure with overclocking we will get maximum +3K points in Antutu
