if you are worried about life and still wish to clock, it may be worth trying some of the low voltage kernels.
titans "XLV ideal" kernel runs 850MHz at the same voltage that stock runs @500MHz.

so if your phone is stable using the low voltage options i would go for one of those!

the 125 bottom end seems a tad problematic also. altho this can be set higher in the configs should you desire.

BTW, titan's kernels (or some) are seen at the extras-testing right?

cant find it

titan's kernels have do be installed via wget (app that needs to be downloaded) in xterm. www.maemo.org/overclocking for titan's writeup!

I think you mean http://wiki.maemo.org/Overclocking - not www.

just OC'd @900mhz, so far after an hour, no problems. i used the same procedure as i did @800mhz.

the only thing confuses me is the 100% or max use ie: using the machine/device up to 100% cpu.

is that the max frequency (mhz)? or the CPU % usage?

what a NOOB am i,

People, please NO OFF-TOPIC, just post test/results and new kernels' news...

I've created this thread to be a fast resource for those sayin' "to OC or not to OC?" and not for talking...

Please, talk and get the overclock thread bigger, not this one.

OC'd mine @125/930mhz - 500mhz

for 5 hours so far, everything is smooth.

i experience less produced heat when i'm running multi-apps.

thats a wicked idea, could you explain what you changed please

Which method did you use?

I used lehto's kernel following jakiman's procedures.

i only flash via xterm, i use no pc or maemo flasher.

EDIT: and i can see that the number 14 of jakiman's oc summary has been deleted. so i have no idea what was the reason, but i can tell that those worked great on my device, i already OC'd 4 times now (from 800mhz to 1000mhz) no problems all in all.

here's my current main desktop screenshot:

Using titan's latest maemo25 kernel and booting to kernel power setting's ideal profile. (500-850 low voltage)
I used Queen beecon widget and created buttons to change oc profile on the fly. (stock to just compare)

eg ideal button's script: (ideal_default) is a copy of ideal from /usr/share/kernel-power-settings/

Code:

/usr/sbin/kernel-load /home/user/MyDocs/files/ideal_default | sudo gainroot

Very left widget just displays my current max frequency when clicked using following noob script:

Code:

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq | awk '{print $1/1000"MHz"}'

loving it so far. been overclocking to 1ghz everyday since lehto created his first modded kernel. no issues yet.

I got ~18fps with drnoksnes yoshi's island at stock speed.
Now I get over 35fps at the same spot with 1ghz. Amazing.
