Samsung Galaxy s4 Overclock? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello guys my question is ... im goign to get a S4 soon... but i want to know if the CPu can overclock? im goign to get the Quad-Core Version cuz the International Version is to expensive.. so i want to know if this NEW S600 CPU will be Overclockable? like the CPU of the Droid DNA?

Why would you want to do so? It's fast enough as it is. But to answer your question yes. When you can do it. No idea.

It will be for sure possible but remember that the device already throttles on stock speed.

Yes, you can Overclock it. 2.1 GHz should be great (and maybe 22 GHz)

I can see why people would want to overclock. To achieve max pimped out status on their phone like mine

Phone already has heat issues and overclocking will blow it

even the OCta Core? i mean i think i has more Overclock power 1.6 is not the max frequenci

Is there any more on this? I am interested in getting a little bit more speed...

Seriously guys. No matter how much we clock our s4's. We know that the real life result is actually what matters. I am not very happy to tell you guys that iphone5 with 2 cores runs smoother and opens apps faster than my s4. Specially the camera , dialer and gallery app. However when it comes to in app load times and raw processing, the s4 has the edge.
I am already having overheat issues on my i9500. Can't even think about over clocking it. Instead, I was think of some under clock.

If we talk about cpu temp then I can't tell you but even the battery temp reaches above 55 to 60 for some users. In real life usage. It gets too hot to place it against our ear for a call.

What is the Max Overclock?

Hey guys whats the max overclock that the Aria can be set to? I had CM6 on mine and had the overclock widget from the market and the max that the sliders went to was 600... But I have Liberty FR008 on it now and i still have the overclock widget but the max that the sliders goes to now is 864... I tried overclocking to 864 but it froze and something went wrong so i had to flash a backup i made. My overclock options right now are 245, 400, 480, 600, 768, 787, 806, 825, 844, & 864... Has anyone tried to over clock the Aria past 600? and did you have any problems with it? Thanks for any help.
-Cpl. T. King
I dont think the cm6 kernal allows for over clocking. I have the latest liberated rom and overclocked to 806 which is the recomended max setting by the dev.

Use the search button. The safe zone is 806.

The CM 6.1 kernel most certainly does support over-clocking. The CM 6.1 kernel was used as the basis for the Liberated FR008 kernel.
Maybe I was thinking about 6.0. Whatever one I had, I could only over clock to 600.
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
6.0 didn't allow overclocking, 6.1.1 does though. I overclock my Aria to 806mHz and underclock it to the lowest setting when the phone's screen is off so I don't tire out the processor. 806mHz is really good, it puts the phone at the level of the G2 or the Shift 4G...and because I usually run Edge w/3G when downloading, WiFi if available, my battery is really good. Probably about 14 hours of normal (good) usage.
I wouldn't overclock it higher, you risk burning the processor out.
I'm OCd to 825 on-demand and the phone runs very nicely. 245 when screen off
825 is not recommended I don't think. 806 seems to be the sweet spot.

Suit yourself. Just saying 806 is the sweet spot for most people around here. I've gotten force closes and reboots at 825. We don't need your attitude
Then it seems like your particular phone can't handle 825. I suggest people try it on both. every phone is different. Just don't be stupid about it. When using the phone as a gps, under clock it. under clock when screen off. and over clock on demand and I'm fine on 825. never seen any issue.
"Suit yourself." I think that was the point of his post. His phone and usage of it OCd at 825 is good for him. He was just stating an answer to the OP. No reason to go around telling him he's wrong..
Anyways, not trying to start a OC war... because that would be ridiculous (-ly funny I might add).
As for myself, when I did OC my processor, 825 didn't effect my phone's performance, but it did make it extremely hot after a bit of use. So it's up to your phone and how you want to handle your phone. I don't really need the OC anymore though; I just stick with 600 (;

Downsides are less battery life (may be a lot or not) and not going as fast as it would be if you were OCd. It may also heat up more.

Overclocking is not necessary at all. We just recently became able to overclock. If you are satisfied with the speed/fluidity of your phone, then there is no need to overclock. The downsides would be less battery life (cpu running faster), and if you push your phone too hard (overclock stupidly), you run the risk of burning out your cpu. your phone should not be getting hot.

It's not necessary. It's pretty damn cool to make the little Aria have a processor as fast as the one in the G2 though.

{req} gpu uv/uc

Been trying the SGSII for a while, and came across a great feature introduced by the devs, were u can OC/UC and OV/UV the GPU just like the CPU.
I would like to know if it's possible to do the same for the NexusS?
I'm mostly interested in UV/UC as most people know that the PowerVR SGX540 is extraordinarily powerful.
If it's possible and other members are interested, i may start a bounty thread.
Many thnx

[Q] How to overclock gpu?

My question is actually in the thread.. My brand new nexus 10 seems to be lagging in playing 3d games. That's why I was wondering if I could overclcock the house a bit to make the whole thing smoother Thanks a lot!

It's lagging due to thermal throttling not GPU speed overclocking may make it worse

Overclocking isn't going to help. Try it if you want but you're just going to end up with more lag.
You need to underclock the CPU, undervolt the CPU and GPU, and also slightly raise the thermal throttle temperature to about 90 (from the stock 80).

Try to under volt as much as you can and I find even 1.2ghz more than sufficient. 1.5ghz might make you throttle.
This Exynos chip is a serious powerhouse.

I think I'm not going to do it until after I've bought a pair of asbestos gloves.
I noticed a lot of overheating when I had my device running on stock 1.7Ghz or higher. Really annoying that it would stop charging due to the battery overheating while in the car dock.
I have actually underclocked my device to 1.3Ghz and maintained much better battery life, with no noticeable slowdowns during usage.
This is old news if you've been following the ElementalX thread.
There's a bottleneck somewhere that prevents 2.1Ghz from being usable, plus it's probably pushing it too much.
Plus the fact it's not really needed.
Great.. now I can run my already blazing fast One even faster and get better benchmark scores! Because we all know that's what really matters.
In all seriousness there really is no need to oc devices of today. Now if you're running an old phone with slow cpu I can see the need.. but the only thing ocing is really good for is benchmarks and an external heater.

Gpu needs overclocking and not the cpu.

there is a theory by turgot, that increasing a faktor wont increase the outcome at a specific point anymore. therefore i would be really interested how your play handles games at that oc. not only a benchmark, something like a video where its possible to see occouring errors, if there are any
this is great work you did, and it may allows some modification to the play.yes im thinking about cooling..even if it wont be that portable anymore. thanks for your help
2.3GHz
I'm currently going where no developer would go before my customized kernel has 26 CPU frequinces all up and a max of 2.3GHz
But without the GPU overclock and a 8mb GPU memory vs Lupus and dooms 4mb
i cant go even more than 1.6ghz
Needed an extra cooler solution and an powerful battery, like Mugen 3600mAh, to maintain this level of OC for diary use. Would be amazing!

Wait, what? Lupus Kernel offers increased amount of VRAM?
IMHO this is perfectly fine if you don't care so much about the device, otherwise you would be crazy. OC'ng so high will eventually cause in-reversable damage. I know what your doing so no need for me to ask questions But even if its stable for you it wont be for others all depends on the chip and as we know each is different. Also even if people don't use 2.x ghz frequencies tend to jump to the highest for a mili second if even on boot, causing problems with the device actually booting.
Well just my 2 cents on OC'ing...

What about 2 cents on this VRAM apparently being doubled?
At the end of the day its not GMEM which is essentially like a processors cache. Our chip has 256kb of it. But the allocated VMEM, would upping it to 8MB provide any sort of performance increase?

Can you post some benchmarks for the CPU? And also tell us more about the VRAM... Did it make any difference?
I believe that the Xplay has good chances of reach 2.0GHZ, running fine, provided has an good thermal solution. In my test, the games run fine for some minutes, before start overheat. Needed of somebody to build an custom cooler, then, make some tests. In my opinion, the safe clock, for sure, is not only 1.6GHZ. Only for default cooler.
