[Q] What are the risk of overlock in SG3?

I Want make a overlock in my Sg3,but what are the risk?
-Greettings-

crashing more than usual is the main problem i think, lowered cpu life span, possible overheating that can cause more trouble in short-the risks are the same as when OC-ing a pc cpu. I just flashed kyrillos 4.1 OC and everything works fine, faster and smoother and my phone did not melt or caught fire. The clock was 1300MHz but i lowered it to 1066, just to make shure everything goes well.

I see in the market apps whos: cpu master.It is ok to do a overlock?

it won't work without a custom kernel. U need to flash a new rom, Kyrillos and Apocalypse have OC versions but Apocalypse is still in beta version. Once u do that u can overclock, i'd recomend setcpu - if rom developers are recomending it than it has to be good,

You need a kernel with built-in ext4 capability. The custom ROMs mostly have one. If you are running a stock kernel, you must install one, e.g. from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978823

[I9300] Post your benchmark scores

The name tells everything. This thread will help you to find the best ROM and Kernel if you're looking for pure performance. The best scores will be listed in the second post.
Post your whole setup you're running and screenshots of the scores.
Antutu and Quadrant scores would be great.
Please list the:
-ROM you're running
-Kernel
-CPU frequency
-I/O scheduler
-
So it's time for me to post my own scores:
Setup:
-Omega 6.0
-Siyah 1.2.6
-1700mHz
-VR

Current top scores from Sak500
Setup: Blackstar V2 ROM with Perseus kernel

-Omega 6.0
-Siyah 1.2.6
-1704mHz
-noop

Currently on perseus kernel @ 1800mhz
Blackstar v2 ROM

Please can anybody post their stock firmware benchmark results. I am getting very low results in the ranges between 8000 to 9000.

Man you're lucky to be able to OC your S3 to 1800mhz.
I can't even OC it to 1800mhz at 1475mV without it restarting.

mine on stock
@rajverrock maybe u get that results bcuz ur running the benchmark with power saving mode enabled

What's ur rom and kernel? I've had problem with siyah and other kernels so have stayed with perseus.

Stock LF1 with all the VodaFone bloatware but S-Voice disabled.

Friend I have checked that my power saving mode is disabled and still i am getting the same results. And also my Antutu tells that my S3 runs on ArmV7 with triple core. Is this a bug or really my phone has triple core not a quadcore? Can anybody confirm it? Thanks for your help friends.

Can you add what the highest score holder is running to the second post. This way we dont have to search through the pages to find out.
In this case its easy while the number of pages is low but to help going forward.
Edit: Also does it make sense to have a quad core high bench as well as a dual core??
Love the post, thanks.

Im using omega 7 fresh wipe installed and siyah 1.2.6 but the maximum Im getting is 5900, do you use oc and extewaks if what are your settings?

I uploaded this video on my YouTube channel.

As mentioned above i've o/c'd the phone to 1800mhz. That's how the score is high. Also i dont know if siyah is good for o/c but perseus and nimpahatimine are good kernels.

Nor Quadrant neither Antutu does work on extreme versions of gl notecore

please guys i dont know is it normal or not so let me know that why does it always gets stuck on 3d tests while performing any benchmark using any of the overclocked versions gl notecore kernel. I really like that kernel but also do want some overclocking but whenever i try doing benchmark test using the extreme versions it gets stuck on the earth and moon rotation animation-testing screen and on antutu on the screen where battalion army animation is shown.
I have tried v2, v4, v5 v6 and till v8 extreme versions(overclocked) of gl notecore kernel. Tried and tested on rocket rom v7, kindroid v4.2 v4 3 and v5.1.1 also on latest and greatest clean note v4 but everytime it got stuck. It never happened to me on overclocked franco's kernel r5 nor did it ever happened on any cm9 or aokp roms while running anidroid kernel. So guys if you can help me out your help would be really appreciated
Thanks in advance.

I guess it's your device because I have used both benchmarks with gl notecore extreme and everything went all right.
I'm using v8 with criskelo's rom v10

i dont think so

Even i thought so at first but then why does other overclocking kernel work then and also once in the blue moon the overclocked gl notecore had worked suddenly but since then it has not. Please someone help me out.

Delete ypur init.d folder....

I face this similar issue. May be the EX version is not for us.

For me it is, just use his rom. No tweaks that will conflict his kernel. Using now his rom and his beta 8.2 at full speed.
Not a single sod ore freez. Antutu 7300, quadrant 5300.
Please if you use a custom rom, delete all init.d. Those are his words. You can find it in system,etc,init.d

i tried it all

By his rom do you mean cleannote v4 as it is the current rom im running. Also i checked for that folder but it is already not present there. Also now i have noticed that on his v8.1ex version i get screen freezes while running quadrant which only way to get rid off is restart the phone. Im loving his kernel guys its extremely smooth but just help me out with this problem as i wanna flaunt its performance through technical data. Lol
Thanks for your support guys.

Well some phones do not like oc and uv. You should do a clean install and do not restore apps and system with tittanium backup.
First test your cleanote without your apps. i use nofrills for to set my cpu. Do not use set cpu because many users experiance problems with that.
Good luck

no results.

Hey mate i have already done as you said. I have not restored any app through titanium back up. Infact i do not have titanium even installed on my note on cleannote v4. There is no set cpu installed too. Btw i tried with no frill but still no luck.
One tiny little request if you can will you post the link of this thread on galvin's kernel thread so that might be able to help me as of right now im veey junior member so according to xda rules i cant.
Thanks for your time buddy.

Hi, as you requested, he did post your thread link over at the NOTECORE kernel thread. However, as I mentioned above, I m facing the same issue and have read the kernel developers answer on this as well. Acc to him, not every phone can support the EX version. Its due to the difference in voltages. My phone cannot handle the EX version as well. However, I m happy to stick with the Standard version. If you're looking for great Quadrant and Antutu scores, just change the governer to pegasusq using SetCPU or any similar app, uncheck Power saving option and then run the test couple of times. I always get around 4400 Quadrant and 7100 Antutu scores.

thanks guys

Thanks to all of you guys for your wonderful support and help throughout. oh so atleast now i know whats the reason for that thanks anyways lifehijack and yeah i hit the thanks button for all of you.
Also many thanks for posting this link on gl notecore kernel thread
So is there anyways we could play around with these voltages and make it work. May be some technical experts here might have the answer to that i hope.

Im using notecore 8.1 ex with classic rom v3 and they both run fine have got pretty good scores too.

All you need is the setCPU app (search in xda forums,you'll find it) and change the governer from ONDEMAND to pegasusq, that's it.

Yes bro i have done just the same as an alternative to ex version and it gives onsiderable performance and scores but will always have a craving for extreme version. Hope to get some technical help from xda experts to make ex version run on my note just fine.

As has already been mentioned not all phones are equal. your needs more core voltage than what my extreme kernel is configured for. if i increased it you would then complain about heat and battery life getting worse.
Stick with my standard version as that uses stock cpu voltages and frequencies. If you took the time to read the OP and even the last few pages of the thread you would have seen this mentioned.

You can use tegrak to adapt the frequency and the voltage. This way you can set the frequencies that suit best for your phone.

No bro im not like that complainbox guy. Anyways i dunno why and how or may be you read this post and improved it in your version 9 ex but now your ex v9 works perfectly fine on my note and yes buddy i have read your op around 4 to 5 times and everytime i install your newer version of kernel. And i wanna give you a big thank you for making us soo many wondeful kernels. Your are awesome mate.
I actually cant believe that such a wonderful and big developer came to my thread to help. Once again thanks alot and also a big thanks to androiadicted for posting this link on galvin's thread.

Thanks for you advice mate ill check it out. Any recommended voltages and frequencies?

I need a little bit of advice on overclocking using setcpu

Hey XDA
i bought the setcpu app on my nexus and tryed to overclock it... as i realised it doesnt really overclock it as it only goes to 1.3ghz which is the max the stock can go lol
i take it to actually overclock the tablet beyond 1.3ghz i need to install a new kernal perhaps a custom kernal?
also whats the best kernal i could install instead of stock?
im looking to overclock it to the most fastest but safest speed i heard 1.8ghz atm also want to here other users thots on which kernal i should try,
also if i ever decide to reutn back to stock does everything as in the kernal and the firmware rom flash back to stock?
thnks in advance

You can't over clock the stock kernel. You need an alternative kernel. I like Motley's kernel but Trinity and Faux kernels are good.

so my best bet is elite kernal by clemsyns,
which file on his thread is the latest and best as in 1.8ghz?

with your thinking, you should go ahead and try clemsyns 2ghz kernel, its posted in the east few pages of the thread
but really, you won't be able to handle 1.8ghz as a daily, its more of a toy to play with. there are much better kernels here to use as a daily, that of from 1.6-1.8ghz too. try them all, find what yo like. when you lose battery like a artery in your neck that's been slashed, you'll realize that 1.8ghz is only for fun.

yeah lol iknow what you mean lol
iv tryed searching for the 2ghz elite kernal but i cant seem to find it within the thread... only mnaged to find 1.8ghz
can someone post it in here for me plz if they could that would be great, i dontknow which page it might be on...iv heard of talk about it but havent seem an actual download for it from clemsyns

wich room and kernel for oc cpu and gpu

Hello guys i jave been serching alot about a good kernel and room but im new on the note 3 so i want to overclock cpu and gpu to match galaxy s5 frquenzys and i can find a good kernel and room wich one can u recomend me
Thanks for the help

Any one brothers?

Why?
Why do u want to oc?? You don´t have to plenty of power??
Try to look about kernel. Rom does not affect
