So I've looked around the forums and done lots of searching and reading on overclocking and setCPU. I saw that you can fry your phone if it can't handle the overclock so I am way too scared of doing anything with it.
My question is, can someone show me step by step how to overclock my phone without frying it?
ROM: Trigger 3.3 final
Kernel: Bali 1.8.5
I read that you should do the automatic check thingy and I did that, the max is 1,000,000 and min is 100,000. Can someone also tell me what that means?
I'm just an uber noob and I'd really like to learn more.

1,000,000 = 1ghz
100,000=100mhz
Bali isn't an overclock kernel btw

Okay so what does that mean exactly? The 1ghz and 100mhz?

That your CPU will run a min of 100mhz and a max of 1Ghz.
Okay, and I'm assuming the changing mhz at the top in big letters is what my CPU is currently running at? If that's the correct term.
And if I set it to the max, will that fry my CPU?
I've been running bullet kernal for awhile now. Currently using project v with bullet oced at 1.4ghz max and 200min. To answer your question, if you do oc your hardware will take a beating IF you do not manage your phone temperature well.. I have an extra vibrant that runs on oced at 1.4 24/7 and it is still fine cause I don't use it a hell of a lot like I would do to my 1ghz max and 100min vibrant. Eventually all hardware will die at some point but if you plan to keep your vibrant forever I suggest you don't oc but if you plan to replace or get a new phone in 1 or 2 years or until your contract ends then oc all you want.

hi there
i am a noob i just brought vibrant previously using htc hero...
i tried to flash bionix and bionix fusion with the new 1.2 ghz oc...
phone works well except when i play games like asphalt, neocore my phone freezes then i have to remove the battery and insert again...
what could be the problem
i am using J12 RADIO....
PLEASE HELP ....
VIBRANT IS 100% AN IPHONE KILLER ... LOVE IT....
mine does the same thing not really sure why yet but if your using setcpu just put the speed at 1000 on both the proformance is unnoticable

Your phone might not play nice with that kernel. Try flashing core 1.0 instead and see if that helps.
Yes, not all phones are stable when overclocked. Use the stock kernel and you should be fine.

^^^ this, but I'm sure you knew that since it says so every where.
My phone runs great at 1.2Ghz with JAC's XMOD Voodoo kernel, but locks up constantly with Core, OCed or not. Try swapping kernels, but don't give up on the OC yet.
I'm having the same exact issue, mine will just lock up for no reason sometimes as well. I'm not sure what it is, I kind of feel like it's the rom. I had problems originally with fusion to begin with. Maybe I'm not doing a proper procedure to install it?
Is it because I'm wiping and going straight to fusion? Please anyone else are you having this issue, I'm getting frustrated and feel my phone is slightly useless like this. I HATE stock.
Edit: Setcpu doesn't let me set to 1000 with Core 1.2Ghz, I can only get 1000 if I use Core 1.0Ghz (obviously). Again though, same issue regardless.
Core is still in beta status and not all the bugs have been worked out yet. The issue the OP is having has been mentioned before in the Core thread in the Dev section and on the TeamWhiskey.com forums as well.
OP: To alleviate the freezing issue you're having, flash the 1.0GHz CoreV1 instead of the 1.2GHz CoreV1

Right now the jump between 1ghz to 1.1ghz shows no real world benefit. I have a couple of questions:
1. Does overclocking to 1.1ghz effect the battery enought to see a difference?
2. Does undervolting save battery enough to see a difference?
3. If i have a custom kernal but still running at 1ghz, will the battery be the same/worse/better then runnning 1ghz on stock kernel
4. Does undervolting have any negative effects on performance
Thanks in Advance!! XDA RULES!!

1 Yes it does, but the phone only uses that frequency when pushed to limits, so not much.
2 Yes, i believe it does.
3 I found faux kernel to drink my battery like water even oj stock clock. Edgan's didnt have that problem.
4 it may cause random reboots if ur UV lvls are beyond the phone's capabilities.
Ps1: hes got a point, all impressions are too personal, they dont translate to universal experience.
Ps2: the greatest use of OC on the atrix right now is the webtop, that really pushes all possible processing power.

is fauxs123 oc kernal v2.0 1.3oc
is this the limit of our devices is this the max we can push our cpu with respect for rhe overheat issues and the negitive
affects that follow along with overclocking one would speculate we could oc to atleast 1.5-1.8 or even 2.0
mabe im just hopeing yea i know its not a pc and no we aint dumping liquid nitrogen onto the cpu to cool it down
but dang could we please have more power; put some pimp juice in this thing 1.5oc or 2.0 i know im prolly spining my wheels in the mud here
just thinking out loud i gess
at&t unlocked alienv4 fauxs v2.0-1.3oc
custom webtop( xfdesktop-xfce4-panel
Lol, that would be cool, but I don't think it'll show at all any performance difference ... until ICA. (Hopefully)

Well if you go to his post about the Kernel he is still having issues getting the second core running the same speed as the 1st when OC is functional. So I would assume once that issue is resolved there Might be fast OC but that also depends on how Hot the CPU winds up at the higher clock speeds and of course the stability.

ive tried every rom/kernal combination and with each i get lock ups when doing intensive cpu work such as a game or benchmark overclocked to 1.6 any ideas? Thanks
Just means your processor was built a little weak. Its only built to run at 1.2ghz so anything above that is pushing it hard... some phones can be oc'd that much, some can't. Just take it down to 1.4. I can't even get mine to 1.4 so he thankful
Sent from my AT&T cellular device.
What voltage do you have it at? Try raising it 25mV at a time stressing you cpu at each step until you're stable. That is if you are determined to run 1.6 and i would not push more than +100mV personally.

I do not think entropy is the one who has issues...
This has been discussed in 10 different threads already and in great detail. If the OP did as much as search he would of have found the answer himself. That is why they call it research
the only question left is...... You mad bro?
Keep all voltages stock, then use voltage congrol and click on 1400 and increment the slider+ 25, then do the same for 1600. This is what i had to do to get my phone stable at 1.6 Some phones may need EXTRA voltage and others need less. It takes some testing to get your particular phone stable at anything over 1.2Ghz. I only did it to see if I saw any gains. Actually for me and my phone I found as far as MY SETUP and testing many different benchmark style apps at 1.4Ghz i got better benchmarks than i did at 1.6Ghz. Now everyones phones will act sligbtly different so your mileage may vary.

At 1.6 ghz... your phone will be discharging your battery ON your charger... I personally wouldn't recommend doing it as it gets the phone really hot, and causes the chip lots of stress due to high heat. Personally if you need more performance (this phones pretty damn fast anyways) go to 1.4ghz.
Most of our phones can be overclocked to 1.4 and some can go to 1.6 but not all. If you change the voltages and it still craps out, then take it down a notch to 1.4 and see how that works for you.

Now now. Since when do we encourage keeping things stock.
My point is - if it were guaranteed to hit 1.6, it would be sold as 1.6.
Being able to hit 1.6 is luck of the draw, pure and simple.
There's a reason:
1) OC is not default on my kernel
2) I held off on providing OC support for a while here, and NEVER released it on Infuse (users weren't mature enough to handle it over there)
3) I have a warning in GIANT RED LETTERS not to complain about OC stability issues on my kernel thread.

This is all true... but the OP was simply asking a question now lets all play nice.
We should have an OC that allows n00bs to melt their cpu.... 2.5ghz ftw
No no no.... We have too many "I tried to load the ICS in the I9100 forums, and I bricked my phone, please help!" threads. we don't need "I OC'ed my phone to 8ghz and melted my cpu" threads too
Tegrak allows you to go past 1.6. I thought these CPU were locked @ 1.6 but i had to up my voltage at 1.7 and i got a small bump in my benches though i probably did run my test enough to confirm the bump. At so.e point, when i get some time ill beat on my CPU some more

I ran my phone at 1.6 for days just to see performance. No UV at all.. battery certainly drained faster, but not while charging. It charged just fine.. and stayed cool even when stressing. Like many have stated, all CPU's are slightly different .. just cause yours melts at 1.6 and wont charge doesn't mean this will happen for anyone trying to run 1.6GHz.
sent from my SGSII... suckas
Try bumpin' up the voltage 1-2 notches.
Just to add to the stats...
I've been able to run @ 1.4 with the same voltage as 1.2, but my phone will freeze once in a while when running apps like camera or navigation. Had to bump the voltage up slightly to get it stable, though I will likely just run 1.2.
I cannot run at 1.6.

Try changing or updating your kernel. Im the OP and had the same problems. with the new siyah kernel at 1.6 even if i try i cant make it lock up or freeze.
Your processor was made from a different silicon wafer than other people's phones and was rated for 1.2ghz.
Since each wafer is different, some processors take voltage better than others as well as speed. It happens.

Hey guys,
I have just installed OmegaRom by Team Cooper and what a Rom it is!!! Amazing is an understatement.
Okay so with there new Rom v2, it has an OC kernal built in and it does work...BUT I need to know how to OC the thing safely and squeezing as much performance as possible!
I have it at 825 and min 806 mhz, scaler is performance.
What settings would you pro's recommened?
Thanks!
Edit 1- I am using SetCPU to OC.
"overclock" and "safe" cannot be use in the same sentence, it just wrong.
theres no safe overclocking. moreover each and every device is unique even for the same model.
what is working with others doesnt guarantee it'll works with yours.

What I meant was a stable OC that may work with my phone... I OC computers too so I know the risk's involved. So what I was asking was what OC's worked with peoples phones so I could get a rough idea on how to govern my cpu and OC it without totally messing it up.

Thanks for the comments guys... Gives me a rough estimate on its limits.
So far I have been running 844mhz performance for a while, since I created this thread and the battery has remained at 82%!
I have benched using AnTuTu twice and have excellent read and write speeds, compared to other benchies I have seen, OmegaRom is the best Rom I have ever used!
Cheers,
i tried cpufrills and its the best for me
I don't Think U mustuse over clocking,even my setting was min245 max 902,the effect just draining more battery,and if using to much can damaging ur prosessor
I know you might think what I'm going to write is unnecessary and going to contradict with your believes here. but I'm going say it anyway.
If you are going to use your device for a long time then I would suggest not to overclock too much. You'll know when something will go wrong with your over-clocking. Your SGA would start rebooting randomly. Heating up would be excessively common once you start overclocking, using your SGA while it's charging. Over clocking will definitely reduce your processor life span. People who do can over clock their device to get the max out of their device and know they're going to change the device in sometime later anyway.

Don't worry! Like I said, I have experience O/C'ing processors etc and I know how bad the effects can be! I am not going for a massive overclock at all. Just a tiny bump in the speed. At the moment, I am running 825mhz and already the speed has improved dramatically. I may go a little further but 902mhz is a bit mental for my liking.
