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.

[Q] Can SetCPU actually OVERCLOCK my EVO?

My apologies if this has been answered but I haven't been able to find it ...
I'm running AvaFroyo V7 ROM on my rooted EVO, and installed SetCPU. Things are definitely faster. But it appears SetCPU only allows me to UNDERCLOCK (to save battery life, etc.).
Can SetCPU *not* overclock? What am I missing here ...
Thanks in advance!,
Jon

Overclocking has to be enabled in your kernel before you can set it ine set cpu.

It will allow you to overclock if you are using a custom kernel that is capable of the higher frequencies.

Thanks Steve!
Any recommendations ....?

I personally prefer Netarchy CFS 4.1.9.1 and I overclock to 1.19. King makes good kernels too..

Thanks, much appreciated!
Btw, what kind of clock speeds are you able to attain with those kernels?
-- Jon

Most of Kings and Netarchy's kernels can overclock to 1.26 but some CPUs become unstable at those frequencies. Mine runs real nice and safe at 1.19

Duh, my brain was on auto-pilot, didn't see the 1.19 in your previous post.
Thanks a bunch man!

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.

Overclocking My Desire Z=Risky??

So in CM7 there is an option to overclock the Desire Z.
Now my question is if I can do this without having to worry about damaging my phone?
For example, the desire Z has a 800MHZ processor, so will it damage my phone to overclock it to 1000MHZ? Or maybe 1200 MHZ?

well it depends if your kernel allows overclocking to that speeds. if it dosent its very risky but if it does support it then its not that risky. for me i have e kernel that goes to 1.7 ghz so i safely clocked it to 1.5 ghz

Sorry, I'm really a noob, but what kernel do I have with CM7?
And where can I get other kernels?

sorry but i dont sure CM7, im using virtuous unity rom so i wouldnt know. but im sure your using the stock kernel that comes with cm7. just ask someone who has cm7. also there are a wide variety of kernels that you can use. just search them up on google or the xda developer forums

The CM 7 Kernal will allow you to overclock up to 1.5ghz (which for the DZ/G2 seems to be the consensus of a 'safe' overclock)
One thing to remember is that not all processors are created equal. Meaning that although we all have the same processor in our phone, some processors are able to handle overclocking better than others. It also depends on what you use your phone for and how much you need the overclock for what you are doing. I ran my device at 1.2 ghz for a while and now run it at 1ghz as it feels plenty fast to me. When playing some graphic intensive games, a higher overclock may help performance as well.
If you overclock and your phone starts to act up, then dial it down a bit. 1.5ghz is fast as hell but will alter voltage and affect battery life as well. Just play around with and see where you like your CPU speed to be at. But you shouldn't have to worry about damaging the processor by overclocking. If its more than it can handle, you will know quickly and can tone it down.

So just for example if I'm going to use Virtious(I quit because it's lagging on the Desire Z) and install this kernel and overclock my desire z up to 1,500 mhz, virtious should run way smoother, right?

if your kernel doesn't support overclocking, you can't overclock no matter what... there is nothing "unsafe" about overclocking without an overclocking kernel because it cannot be done.
OP: cyanogen has its own overclocking kernel (with capability up to 1516mhz) built-in. as far as safety, it depends on your device, but the most common worst-case scenario is random restarting issues or waking issues.
on CM7, with a launcher other than the bundled ADW launcher which is choppy and slow no matter how high you're clocked, you should be able to have a smooth experience at stock speeds. I am clocked at between 1017 and 1209mhz at any given point as I have been since January and I haven't ever experienced wake or random reboot issues. YMMV but I think the general consensus for the Vision is that a mild overclock is very safe.

HELP!
I overclocked my DZ, but didn't really notice any difference, since CM7 is pretty smooth without overclocking, but know suddenly my device begins to lag very very bad. I put the CPU limit back to 245MHZ to 806MHZ but it keeps lagging:-(

which governor are you using? which launcher? have you rebooted?

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.
