    Overclocking and voltages? do i have an issue?

    Hi all,

    Got an odd one, well i think its odd.

    been running overclocked kernel (used to be 37, but now 40 as im using multiboot for Nitdroid) for quite a while now, using Queen beecon widgets as per Jakiman's (cheers dude!) excellent guide and posts.

    i have notice for some time, my N900 can lag quite a lot. and can be very jerky / stuttery. and a lot of the time hangs if a couple of apps open. it also stutters the audio mor SMS and email. (see here ) tho ive started to put up with this annoyance.

    BUT, the other day, i noticed everything was running sweet as a nut. nice transitions, fast app opening times, etc. so i went to my widgets to see if it was running at 1ghz

    to my surprise, they wouldnt work, a quick check revealed id accidentally booted into the normal kernel (2.6.28-omap1)

    (ive got multiboot installed, Nitdroid, 2.6.28-omap1 & 2.6.28power40)

    My question is, why does it run so bad in stock mode when overclocked, as runs better on stock kernel? 850mhz isnt much better really. do you think its a voltage issue?

    how can i alter the voltage levels for my 3 preset beecon buttons?

    any thoughts appreciated

    Cheers

    when I first overclocked, i also followed Jakimans guide, in which i loaded the low voltage, adn set limits to 250 850, which i kept at for about a month, awesome!... but then i wanted to try 900, and my phone would keep crashing... per jakimans suggestion, i loaded default voltage, and that works very well with 900 and 950 Mhz...so u never know with these things...

    p.s. 950 is even better than 850
