Which are the best cpu and memory settings for x8?
Wich rom do u use?
If is minicm, you can easily go to, 729 or 748 mhz with no reboots, smooth and stable

Which is the best app?
You must test which frequency is best for you because every processor is different. One can run on 729 MHz without problems but other can't. You can use CPU Master or SetCPU from Market or other apps
but no need to use 3rd party apps if using miniCM, since you can change OC in cyanogenmod settings
and it's just as dbts25 said, every cpu is slightly different, some people can't even overclock cpu to 614 mhz, and some can go over 800...
i prefer using 691 or 710, these two are pretty stable for me, and my limit is 729 - i can't go higher no matter how much i try - the phone reboots immediately
i'd recommend you to check it yourself, and when you find a good, stable frequency, reduce it by 19 mhz - you'll propably have less reboots, if any at all it's more secure to do so in my opinion.
i have have rooted htc wildfire and have installed CM7.1.
can any1 pl guide me how to over clock the CPU.
after entering cyanogen-mod settings>performance>CPU setting, i have min CPU frequency which is currently 352 MHz and max CPU frequency which is currently 528MHz. do i need to change them directly or do i need any kernel for this?
regards.
Just change the values. CM7 comes with an OC kernel preinstalled.

which values are best for Minimum and maximum CPU frequency.
I read 691 max 160 min but it's not law.
where are the experts
pl guide what is the best minimum and maximum CPU speed that i should set to get maximum performance from wildfire.
It all depends on you and your preferences.
If you're playing games use 729 as max
If you want max battery use 480 as max.
352 is a good minimum overall.

Please find the SetCPU thread under XDA Forums, HTC Dream: G1 > G1 Apps and Games. Or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419
It's an app for you to overclock your wildfire with custom rom. Download the latest one, send it to your phone's SD, install the apk using Astro or other file managers. The app includes On demand, based on how much MHz you currently need. It is free, but you could donate to the producers of the app. I'm now currently running on 710Max/245Low On Demand. Pretty sweet app.
Well Min 480 and Max 729 ... if u want performance!! (M using the same)
Only for international s3 variant Disclaimer: Im not responsible if something funny happens to your device Read the guide as much as you want before proceeding with overclocking
Overclocking and undervolting is highly debatable, some say its good and some say its bad... so its upto you to proceed further
First rule of overclocking.. Your Mileage May Vary
Most of the people here in xda do know about overclocking and stuffs but still there are many who are so eager to overclock their beast . Hence this guide.
I have given some good info below about these stuffs as far as i can , you can always use google to get further details.
What is overclocking?
Overclocking is the process of making a computer or component operate faster than the specified clock frequency by the manufacturer by modifying system parameters. One of the most important techniques is running at a higher clock rate (more clock cycles per second; hence the name "overclocking")
Operating voltages may also be changed (increased), which can increase the speed at which operation remains stable.
Advantage:
You can get more performance from your chipset, though s3 is already fast you can see the visible changes in application execution time and much more like instant response time.
Disadvantage:
* Overclocking is always risky if something is configured improperly and may also result in permanent damage of your hardware. As long as it is done safely you are good to go.
* You may see some increased power consumption.
* Extreme overclocking might kill your hardware.
Undervolting :
The process where you provide less voltage to your cpu rather than the stock voltage.
Advantage:
* Reduced heat from your device.
* Good battery life.
Disadvantage:
* Extreme undervolting will make your device unstable and some times even end up with a boot loop.
Dividing the guide into 2 parts CPU and GPU
CPU
The max clock that can be used on our s3 is 1800mhz and the minimum is 100 mhz. Below given is the stock voltage for all clocks for your reference.
1800mhz : 1450mv
1700mhz : 1400mv
1600mhz : 1350mv
1500mhz : 1325mv
1400mhz : 1275mv
1300mhz : 1238mv
1200mhz : 1175mv
1100mhz : 1125mv
1000mhz : 1088mv
900mhz : 1050mv
800mhz : 1000mv
700mhz : 975mv
600mhz : 963mv
500mhz : 938mv
400mhz : 925mv
300mhz : 900mv
200mhz : 900mv
100mhz : 900mv
Requirements:
1. Kernel with overclocking support.
2. ns tools to change frequency/voltage.(you can use the app of your choice here).
3. set cpu and stability test to test the stability of CPU.
4. Some patience.
Step 1:
Set the current clock you want to test via ns tools. (Select max frequency in cpu tab).
Step 2:
Open set cpu's cpu stress test and run it for atleast 10 minutes. If you didnt get any errors on those 10 minutes and the test completed successfully then the clock is ready for daily use
Step 3:
Now for undervolting use the same ns tools and reduce the voltage by -25mv.
Repeat step 2.
you can reduce the voltage further by -25 mv after the completion of stress test until the app become unstable. (Advanced users can try reducing -50mv )
Step 4:
Repeat step 1,2 and 3 for every possible cpu clock you see in ns tools.
Note the stable cpu voltage for every clock, once you finish testing all your clock values save it as a profile in nstools and set it on boot.
Voila !!! now you have finished overclocking/ under voting your beast The very same guide can be used to underclock you cpu.
Notes:
1. Not all chips are capable of running at higher speeds like 1800 mhz. Those speeds are highly experimental.
2. Recomended max overclocking is 1600 mhz.
3. If your device gets hotter allow the device to cool for few minutes before starting the test.
4. Combining the overclocking and undervolting will give you the best of both the worlds
In case of emergency:
1. If your device becomes unstable and not responsive either press the power button until your device restarts or pull out your battery.
2. If you end up with the boot loop due to extreme undervoltage below is the cwm flashable to reset your voltage.

GPU OVERCLOCKING
DIsclaimer :
*** I dunno if any other kernels support the very same overclocking , if it is possible kindly inform me ill update it in the post.
*** Using custom kernel or siyah kernel is purely of your choice, im not held responsible if something goes wrong
I would say GPU is by far the weakest hardware in s3, its weak in the sense that its using the very same architecture used for galaxy s2 with some additional improvements to clock it higher. Thanks to the head room given, though the maximum clock for our GPU is 440 Mhz we can over clock it to around 700 Mhz which is roughly 70% more than the stock. Yes it is possible. Thanks to our developer "gokhanmoral" who made it possible.
Advantage:
* Games can be made to run more smoother.
* Much smoother UI.
By default stock mali 400 GPU has 4 steppings , its clock frequencies are as follows
160 Mhz - 875 mv
266 Mhz - 900 mv
350 Mhz - 950 mv
440 Mhz - 1025 mv
Once you install siyah you will be having an additional GPU stepping(totally 5) along with the following available frequencies to choose from.
54 Mhz
108 Mhz
160 Mhz
266 Mhz
275 Mhz
300 Mhz
333 Mhz
350 Mhz
440 Mhz
533 Mhz - 1025 mv
600 Mhz - 1050 mv
640 Mhz - 1050 mv
666 Mhz - 1075 mv
700 Mhz - 1100 mv
800 Mhz - xxxx mv
The voltages for the above additional clocks are purely approximated values. So you can either undervolt or overvolt it as per your need.
Sample screenshot of stweaks gpu interface
REQUIREMENTS:
1. Siyah Kernel 1.5 beta 6 or higher
2. Stweaks
3. GLbenchmark 2.5(Egypt Classic and Egypt HD)
4. Basemark ES 2.0 Taiji
5. Nenamark
Testing methods and procedure:
Step 1:
Install siyah kernel and other mentioned apps and get used to stweaks.
Step 2:
Select the gpu frequency in stweaks along with the recommended voltage and apply the settings.
Step 3:
Open the above mentioned benchmark suits and run it.. if you feel any stuttering or artifacts when running the benchmark then you need some more voltage. Exit the suite and increase the voltage in stweaks by + 25 and restart the benchmark.
(** Egypt HD benchmark does stutters with currently all the mobile available in this world as the test is designed to stress the GPU to its maximum.)
Step 4:
Repeat step 2 and 3 if you need underclock/undervolt your GPU.
Notes :
* Though there are many available frequencies to choose from i would recommend not to use 54 and 800 mhz.
* Make your GPU steppings gradual (Eg : 1xx-2xx-3xx-4xx-5xx)
* If you feel your device warm let the device cool before testing.
* You can monitor your gpu frequencies in real time by using a tool called mali gpu status(caution: do not use these apps when benchmarking as it will degrade your result)
* Dont use any onscreen overlay apps like cool tool as it will degrade your benchmark scores.
Some benchmark results :
Below is the result comparison of basemark 2.0 (mobile with hd screens). Stock s3 gpu scores around 38 fps.
Here is the result achieved with max gpu clock of 700 mhz. It simply smashes all the records.
Nice work mate :thumbup::thumbup:
Interesting
Thanks, Bala - though I have tried doing this for my S before, I havent seen the need yet to do this for S3.
Having said that, if you have the right OC, UV combinatons that worked for you - do you mind sharing them. That will be the best use of this thread.

Hmmm if 100,200,300mhz have same voltage so better to keep 300mhz as minimum? Talking about battery consumption/performance?

300mhz and 400mhz are not utilized by many kernels so its more or less useless. either 200 or 100 can be used for minimum

Give the cpu voltage settings in my sig a try, to be in the safer side always start with +25mv from my signature

Glad to see someone done a guide like this fro the S3 as well.
Good luck with the thread mate.

It depends on the type of app and the initial load required, it's normal afaik

It depends on the app its not an strange act, if the app requires a lot of cpu usage it will stay longer on the max frequency, if you dont like that you can always try an lazy cpu scaling governor (controls the behaviour of the cpu)

Is 600 kicking in? I've never tried this benchmark but maybe you could try lowering your threshold frequencies.
I dont know if really many knows how to overclock your GPU but i tell it here if you didnt know.
Go to here:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/
Then open gpu_oc in text editor and change number to 0, 1 or 2 and then save.
0= 307 Mhz 1= 384 Mhz 2= 500 Mhz
I recommend not to oc to 500 Mhz because your tab 2 will get really hot in 10 min. in gaming and other use.
All of them are stable at least for ME(maybe because my tab 2 is only 2 months old but still gets hot)
384 Mhz is good because it doesnt fry your tab and you get faster performance.
I dont know if this workson other phones/tablets but try at your own risk.But remember that in some games CPU overclocking may help too and i know it helps alot in shadowgun dz.
You overclock at your own risk.

This only counts for specific kernels, particularly OC kernels, I use mine at 512mhz, CPU at 1350mhz, runs pretty solid, I use CM 10.1.2 with AGNI Pure CM Kernel, prefer either AGNI Purestock for stock based roms and PureCM for CM roms as Boeffla config app is included, in that app you can set the GPU OC and it sticks, in the other kernels, you need to edit and save that text file after every power cycle.
I have actually looked for that type of app so thanks for sharing that app.
TricksterMOD from play store allows you to OC GPU as well.

Hi guys I'm new on xda and I'm really sorry if I post this thread in the wrong place.
I found a method last year with I think we can overclock/underclock our MTK devices.No custom kernel or ROM is required but the problem is that the CPU can't be overclocked.Only the GPU and other components like RAM and internal memory.
All you need to do is to install a MTK Engineering app from Google play store.
After that go to /hardware testing/DE-sense/PLLs - you will get to a menu with some different PLLs
ARM PLL - is CPU ( but can't be overclocked )
MM PLL - is the GPU ( it's safe to OC )
I don't know about other PLLs , I don't think is safe to OC them and you will not get any boost in performance.
There are the default PLLs values for my MT6582 device ( all clock speeds are in khz )
ARM PLL=1092000
MM PLL=500500 max / 266000 min
MSDC PLL=416000
MAIN PLL=1092000
VENC PLL=295750
UNIVI PLL=1248000
The best OC values for GPU are 315 MHz minimum frequency and 518 MHz maximum frequency,the minimum possible underclock frequency is 245 MHz minimum and 450 MHz maximum
From my tests I got a 10-15 fps boost in PSP emulators and 5-10 fps boost in 3D games (real racing 3,asphalt 8,modern combat 4) and benchmarks (antutu 5,gfx bench)
Here are the default clock frequencys for MT6589
ARM PLL=1508000 max / 754000 min
MAIN PLL=884000 max / 500000 min
MM PLL=338000 max / 286000 min
UNIV PLL=624000
MSDC PLL=208000
Here is the YouTube link,check it if you haven't understand this tutorial : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wY_i3u_Wu4w
Anyway I need an expert opinion to tell me what the other components are.
Attention !
- overclock can harm your hardware
- please make sure that you can remove your phone's battery because if you put a wrong value your screen can get stuck ! But if you are lucky your device will reboot
- make sure your device is rooted and you know your default clock speeds
- Do not try to OC any other components,only GPU is safe to OC
- I'm not responsible for any damage to your phone
I can't post this thread elsewhere because I'm not allowed even if I have more than 10 posts,admins please if you find this useful move it to a good location

Edit: whether values stick even aftet reboot and how to check it has overclocked or else.
Sorry for so late response but I don't have a mediatek phone anymore. Anyway so no you can't see what are the defualt values in mmpl but you have to find out your gpu clock speeds ( the maximum freq like 600 mhz and the minimum one,which the gpu idles at like 120 or 200 mhz). If you say that you have a mt6582 phone your maximum freq should be 500 MHz and you could try a 533 MHz overclock. Only big problem at this gpu trick is that we can't change the voltage also,so an stable oc will be very small. I reccomend to oc that idle freq which I don't know why this mali 400 uses it even in games making them lag. So try to oc that 200 MHz to 300 MHz,but don't go higher because the kernel will think that you want to change the max 500 MHz freq so the performance will get worse. First set something like 303000 and after 515000.These are some ideal valuse which I've tested by myself. Sorry for my bad english and greetings from Romania.
how about mt6750?
