since it is for newcomers, you should make the disclaimers about how this can severely **** things up much bigger and prominent, including the stuff about how even if in one device it works the same numbers can permanently brick other devices
Since you are now talking about devices being "permanently bricked," perhaps you will link to the messages where that is claimed, and perhaps you will let us know whether your N900 is in fact permanently damaged as you thought it might be.

@TiagoTiago please if your phone is bricked due to overclocking give us a link to that post and i will add it in the disclaimer but to be honest the only reason i overclocked mine is because i havent seen any bricked phones due to overclocking

i don't think you can brick your device this way, if it doesn't like the kernel it won't use it. simple

I would not encourage anyone to set a default kernel-config. It is far safer IMHO to allow the n900 to boot with the default frequency and use a startup script to OC it. I use a Queen Beecon command that runs on the startup of the desktop.
If you set the default to an unstable frequency, you can end up in an endless reboot loop and have to reflash.

according to jakiman.
but i do reboot on stock or a custom setting in some reasons.
i also have QBW widgets to tap if i wanna boot on stock or a custom setting

1. Do you ever see the message saying that the overclock settings have not been made because the reboot wasn't natural, or words to that effect?
2. You are saying that you ignore Jakiman's recommendation and you get into a permanent reboot loop "in some reasons"?
I'm not talking about one reboot. I'm saying that there is protection against a "permanent reboot loop". In my experience, there is.

It would seem that the newer versions of Titan's kernel has a mechanism to override the default profile, but this was not the case with older versions. In any case, I will continue to use Queen Beecon to be on the safe side.

isnt that what OCing is all about ? :P
