So what is a safe temp for the battery to be running when you overclock the x. I think I red somewhere that the battery can handle up to 65 degrees c. Also does the x have the cpu temp monitoring probe? I thought I heard that the x doesn't?

Highest mines been was 104° Farenheit while overclocking to 1.45... Usually its around 89° F

Wow ok so temps that high are acceptable? I was a little worried when mine was running around the low 40's. Seems that the battery door gets pretty warm around that temp.

What are you using to overclock? Normal operation on my x without being overclocked, under load of course like streaming music and video, I see temps around 38 celsius.

Acceptable?? Sort of. Just because the phone CAN run at that high of a temperature does not mean it should be run for extended periods of time. Excessive heat is bad for any type of electronics. If you are OC'ing to the max, I would try lowering it a bit to see if it works good and the phone does not heat up so much.
They go into cool down mode at 140

Anyone else having this problem? It ran great, then it prompts me to rate on Google play, then it crashes.

It crashes occasionally for me as well, at random. Also, how does it run for you? On High I see a mild amount of lag. I'm on RasBeanJelly with Trinity TX3.

I have it on default settings and it's really smooth actually. I got passed the rate on Google play crashing problem, I let it sit a while before I said not now and it didn't crash it maybe I was just in too big of a hurry. Also to my amazement the Ps3 controller connected via USB otg cable works with this game. The game apparently thinks its a Moga Pro controller and it maps perfectly

I put the settings on highest and it runs a little slower and I honestly don't like the excessive blur effect it adds so I'm gonna leave it at medium
I'm running stock 4.3 and it work great for me on the highest settings

Has anyone else experienced their s4 getting really hot to the point where you can't even hold it? I closed and froze all the bloatware apps and even have a plain black wallpaper, and it still reaches 95 degrees Fahrenheit.

That's nothing. I use it for texting and I'm at 105° in minutes. I put it on power saving and limited my use and barely got it under 97°. Battery life is still phenomenal though :/

Me and my friends that own a Galaxy S4 experience the same problem.
Galaxy S4 devices do seem to heat up quickly and intensely.
What I recommend is the following (In order):
Decrease display brightness
Enable Power saving mode
Disable Wi-Fi when not in use
Disable Bluetooth when no in use
Disable gimmick features (Air gestures)
Un-install/Disable Bloatware apps
this is what happens when you pack a quadcore into 35 millimeters.... no fix. best you can do is underclock

95 F is not really that hot. About the coolest it can get is room temperature. When you need to start worrying is when it hits more than 65C. Otherwise it is fairly normal.

Anyone noticed scroll speed substantially slower than compared to using a Note 3 phone or an iPad? Seems to be consistently worse in all browsers and most apps. Wonder if this is just the price of the high res display or if driver updates may help? Haven't used one, but wondering if the Nexus 10 has the same problem?
Yes
Not sure.
No.

Does the overheating eventually kill my S4? I have CM 11 (Android 4.4.2) and the problem still persist. I can't update via OTA since its rooted. I also don't want to lose any apps because they are large apps and dont want to bother to download them again. So will it actually gonna kill my S4 someday?

The Android 4.4.2 for S4 is leaked version. It is not published Officially by samsung and it may has many bugs. (eg. overheating, ...)
Overheating can eventually cause some serious problems. The board is able to adjust slightly with flexing caused by heat, but eventually soldered connections will give in and break if your device is getting extremely hot. When or what is causing it to get so hot?

@martikp When smsung officially publish it, do i have to reinstall CM so it fixes the overheating issue?
@megamanDJ It overheats when browsing, playing games. Does this eventually break the LCD screen ( not the gorilla glass 3 ) ?

No it won't break the HD Super Amoled screen.
Overheating will eventually cause logic board failures and shorten the batteries' life span
So if my phone is a little hot can this still happen?

Not a little bit hot but perheps if it reaches 85 degrees+ all the time. But even in doing so it will still (from my experience) last longer that you'd ever keep this phone for.
Oh the is there any apps out there that tells you the temp if my phone. Something that is easy to set up?

They have quite a few apps out there for monitoring temps and whatnot. I personally use Android Tuner for everything I monitor. As a huge plus, this app is one of the most versatile apps (especially if rooted) I've come across and have had for a long time. Its good for adjusting or tuning down anything that may cause overheating as well as view summaries of the culprits

I agree. You don't hear too often about someone's phone overheating to the point of failure. I've seen one phone that would get so hot you almost couldn't hold it in your hand, and had a habit of doing that but was ultimately broken months later by a shopping cart.:silly:
Still a decent monitoring app (among dozens on the market) can help you monitor temps and pinpoint when, where, and what is causing problems.
Thank you the app works. Is there anyway to drop the temperature as low as you can? Like 26 C? I disabled my Google account stuff and sync and removed the sim card because I use this phone as a gaming device. When I play a few rounds of subway surfers it already gets to medium warm and for 3D games it gets warmer more faster.

Is 51 C - 56 C harm the device?

I would say you are safe in that temp range. Its when you get 80 C and above that that's causing damage. Also are these temps from the battery or the CPU? The CPU can and will get to 60 C temps at times which is normal.
CPU I played the game six guns for almost an hour and it didn't go over 65 C and I think I totally screwed up my ext SDcard

If you are having heating problems while playing 3D games alone then you might want to try experimenting with using different GPU settings. You can try tuning down the frequency. It may or may not help with temp being its only a frequency setting. Try also using the app "Greenify" to put as many of the remaining apps that you don't absolutely need running into hibernation. Greenify is a lot more efficient when it comes to keeping apps from using resources.

How to adjust the GPU frequency settings? Does this affect the quality of the game after its adjusted? But I do not think adjusting the GPU frequency settings will work. The overheating problem is caused by the CPU. May try Greenify app.

If your GPU is capable of adjusting the frequency then it will show you in the Android Tuner app next to the CPU settings, but you're right it wont help with overheating. You can set your CPU governor to "powersaver" and underclock by sliding the max frequency setting down one step at a time until you notice a difference in temp. Greenify is a huge help mainly with battery saving which in turn stops a lot of unnecessary CPU draw.
Does under clocking CPU will cause large 3S games crash? Hope it doesnt

Bad idea. When I change it to power save it makes every sluggish and laggy even I turn one step down the CPU thing its sluggish
