how bad is overclocking the 32B Magic/Mytouch?

since i have installed the lated Qtek Hero Rom i have noticed that it helps immensly to overclock to maximum 527 and minimum 383. i kno its a bandaid for havving less ROM than the real HERO but im concerne about extended overclocking on this device.
i would like to know if others have overclocked with good luck and not had any problems with their 32B magics and Mytouches.

When i normally used a Hero, I always overclock my device with the same configuration as above. These days im just using remodded I/ON build to get a faster device.
The new kernel (2.17.401.2) has been released and HTC have made some change to clock frequenses.
Code:
# cat scaling_max_freq
528000
# cat scaling_min_freq
384000
Any discussion on whether it is okay to overclocking or not should be finalized if HTC themselves overclock their own ROM.

528 is not overclocked. It is the chip spec. Going OVER 528 is overclocking.

I'm having some issues with speed.

Device Specs:
Sapphire PVT 32B ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2005 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
Radio-2.22.19.26I
Rom: CyanogenMod 6.0.0-DS-RC2
My device seems to be lagging a lot, not always but i don't think its running as fast as it should be.
Ive turned everything off (gps, wifi, etc) all apps closed (using 'Advanced Task Killer' (ATK)) i get around 29m - 35m memory available which ATK told me.
Is this what i should be getting or should i be getting higher readings?
It may just be me being picky, but thought i would ask anyway.
Thanks
Chris

35 mb is nothing.......
i try to hover around 100 mb.... but i dont have too many apps installed either.
maybe 10 ish.

RAM and ROM are two very different things - althoug they both contain the word "memory".
I guess that's confusing

well thats what i thought. Any reason why im only getting this??
i have very few apps installed prob 10ish aswell
thanks
chris

you have a 32b which has the same memory as a g1/dream is why..
we have 100mb more on 32a boards

Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general

Do you have it overclocked with apps such as SetCPU?
I have a 32b running CM5 also with 70ish apps and it runs well with very little to no lag at all by overclocking it.

what have you used to overclock?
I do have SetCPU but it seems to be making very little difference, if any.

[Q] what is the fastest oc kernal for 32b?

I got a vibrant and gave my dad my 32b w/ cm6 installed which can be oc'd to 576mhz. Is there a faster oc kernal for the 32b. i know the 32a can be oc'd to 710mhz. Thanks in advance for answers

Nope. There's a thread made by the author of setcpu that shows the effects of different frequencies on the CPU used in Dream/32B Magic (32A uses a different CPU which overclocks better, apparently). 576 made a slight difference but anything over that didn't improve the benchmarks at all.

Thanks. I had a feeling this was the case.

please advice.

SetCPU

I agree, SetCPU. Free for xda members.

Thanks for the reply. I already tried the SetCPU but i'm not able to find the good performance.
Do you know any other good application.

The program doesn't really have anything to do with the phones performance. If your not getting good performance, get another kernel.

Don -
I've been through a few posts about kernels on the MT3G (I'm running a Fender/1.2 on NexTouch3g which I tried due to a suggestion you made in another thread) to improve performance.
At this point she's not as fast as my Optimus T (I know, Adreno 200 + 512MB ram is going to make a big difference) and would like to know if you have any suggestions on where people who think overclocking (the person who posted here originally, and myself... I figure OC = faster) is the solution about where to read up on which kernels work with what, etc. It's generally (at least for me) confusing...
Any feedback would be appreciated... either try/read XYZ, or just deal with performance the way it is.
Thanks,
_m

I honestly couldn't delve into the details of how OC'ing works for these phones. Overclocking doesn't always mean faster. Perfect example would be my phone. I started OC'ing shortly after rooting it, and had SetCPU set to "On demand" mode (which means it kicks the clock up when in use and lowers the clock when not) with it peaked at 614 MHz. After a few months, it went down the drain. It got to the point that I can't overclock at all. I can install an OC kernel all I want, I just can't install use SetCPU to change the clock speed to anything besides the default 384 MHz. If I do, my phone comes to a crawl. If you really want to get into the deep deep details, I would talk to ezterry, dumfuq, or pershoot as they're the guys leading the kernel forefront for the myTouch. Alas, about mid week I'll be trading my myTouch 1.2 for a new LG Optimus T (thanks to T-Mobile being ignorant) but I'll still have my wife's to screw around with.

710Mhz kernel for 32B

I'm running GingerYoshi right now on my 32B and its great. But I would like to get a lil bit more performance out of it. I'm overclocked right now to the max of 614 and its stable. I'm just wondering if there is a kernel out there I could use to get up to 710.

I don't think there is a kernel which enables overclocking to 710, but even if you find one, it could burn out your processor. Don't forget that your processor's official max is 528.

I used SetCPU to push my 32A to 710mhz, with no problems.
