I'm all for guides and other information sharing methods, as long as they're peppered with disclaimers when applicable.

"Safe" overclocking has to proven over time. It may work fine over the next few weeks/months, it won't explode or combust, but little things may start happening (e.g. random lock-ups, "unexplained" application crashes) you may not notice it straight away - no matter how many times you re-flash the n900 the problems will persist.

Your device is now royally f***ed!

The CPU may not fail but other components may get damaged. Heat and battery-load will cause problems (especially in a teeny-weeny densely populated device).


Running anything beyond it's specification is risky.

If we are very lucky the n900 is built so well it can handle reasonable increases in clock speed and everything is ok - maybe I am being paranoid.

I will wait a few months and see what happens before I try anything like this.


PLEASE BE CAREFUL PERMANENT DAMAGE IS POSSIBLE.

Thats the first permanent damage warning i have seen. In most cases it seems a reflash can fix the phone. im staying well away from this in that case

Very well said! This is why I am waiting too. Clocking it to even 800 is like an %33 overclock, and that is huge when you compair it to overclocking a CPU in a normal computer. Perhaps water cooling will be the next step for the N900 lol.

Hope no one has any trouble though because would love to give mine a boost. Fingers crossed!
