CPU temp 140? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it normal for the cpu temp to be 140+ while browsing the internet? I'm running gingerbread from the sbf in the development section, and I am rooted. Haven't really changed anything other than that though. Anyone else get high temps? I'm not even don't ng any 3d gaming or anything

I think no... Do you have oc kernel?

Im wondering what normal as well. I'll monitor my CPU temp; but I know my battery temp went as high as 51 degress Celcius while browsing or watching a movie.

I have got that high myself without problems. Can't remember for sure, but I think at 65C phone will shutdown to protect CPU.

edgar's OC kernel worked wonders to dimish my Atri's temps, which was hovering aroudn the 60's, and now doest go over 45.

So having a over clocked kernel actually helped in reducing temps?
Edit: I have the stock kernel

also, I'm not so much concerned about damanging the phone itself, it just gets very uncomfortable to hold at that temperature haha

i find it hot running at 45c never mind 60c+.
i'm running stock everything on GB, even on Froyo i only got to around 45c with gaming,

Cpu temp range

I have just installed a custom kernal to oc my cpu. I know the cpu temp should rise a little bit. Does anyone know the temp range for this processor, i tried a quick google didn't get an answer.

pretty good question,
ive only had my vibrant for 2 days, highest temp ive noticed on setcpu was 107 degrees Farenhirght.
Im not really sure whats the highest it should ever be at, on the n1 forums; someone once mentioned that it shouldnt go past 110 degrees. then someone else said 115 degrees...
I would also like to know what is considered "safe". would like to know what temp to try to stay under.
If I had installed set cpu before I overclocked, I would have known what temp range the phone normally runs on the high end before overclock..... but i did not do that....
I hit 122 degrees on kingxklick kernal. Im back to stock kernel for now

What can we overclock it too

I don't think anyone has started to work on OC, but we would need to see what kernel sources we have first... Then we figure out how to OC
also it gets hot with long wifi downloads or 3g ie gps using aura so overclock may not be a good idea.

Overclocking doesn't mean that the CPU will get hotter as long as you aren't changing the voltage. If the CPU handle 1.4 Ghz on the standard voltage, it won't get warmer and also won't consume more battery.
Dual 1.4ghz wud b pretty sweet lol wat if we increased it to 1.6ghz n just increased the voltage a lil bit or is that a bad idea n p.s is it me or since Root my fone only reaches 3.5k on the quadrent ive deleted alot of samsung apps n my memory is usualy at around 250mb iv seen people score ova 4k in their s2,

Might be a good idea, might not work because the CPU might already be near it's maximum. It'll definitely be worth it if you want to push out amazing benchmark scores, though! Just might not be stable enough to use for a daily phone if overclocked heavily.

This is completely wrong. It is very well known that incresing the frequency increases the power consumption (also with same voltage). Just google if you don't believe me.

Of course more speed on a processor will consume more power even if dont change the voltage.

[POLL] Can your EVO 3D Overclock beyond 1.5GHZ and be stable? Over 80% Says YES!

I am one of the unlucky ones that no matter what kernel/rom combination I cannot sustain over 1.5GHZ without a re-boot.
Curious to see how many share my ill fortune to see whether this is more the exception or the norm among the XDA EVO 3D community...
I can do 1728, but 1782 reboots on me. I'm glad though... My hero was stuck at 691, my first shift couldn't top 1000, the second one got 1600 but others got 1800, so I'm happy with 1728. And just a note, I could get higher using on demand versus other governors, so be sure to try that.

I don't know what the **** a 3vo is, but my Evo 3D gets sluggish if I go over 1.5. But that's because of something in the SilverNeedle test5 kernel, from what I hear.

From what I now understand, the CPU bin will play a role of whether your phone can go past 1.5Ghz and remain stable. But some of you guys need to wait because the kernels aren't made for every phone in mind. One may work for yours, the other may work for someone. So let the kernels get out of there beta stages.
Appreciate my help? Thank me
I'm at 1728Mhz and works perfect. Been using 1728 pretty much since the first OC was released.

I'm the exception... guess bad silicone... oh, well may be something else will go wrong and I'll get an exchange...

It isn't bad silicone, just lower binned. But we don't know if that is the case. The kernels are still in their beta stages.

No problem here.
Now we need to ask about battery life. How does the overclock messes up your battery life? Out a normal 100%, how much % gets eaten on your normal day by the cpu?
And the 1.8ghz is max? In standby ect i want it underclocked.
I eun mine at 1.8 and have no issues at all. I'm on mags rom as well

On my E4G I set min384/max1176 for a vast majority of its life and never had bad battery life that wasn't coming from somewhere obvious like 4g on, low 3g signal, etc... And with the havs/uv kernels it was even better battery life than bone stock.... Id image same will happen here. I've been rocking 384/1728 since netarchy released his test kernel and I have no noticeable difference in battery life.

the cpu on the 3d is a 1.5GHz, but HTC underclocked it to 1.2GHz.
i get 1.8 and am stable, on a 1.5, you should be able to hit 1.7 with zero issues. most should be able to hit 1.8+ w/ no (or very little) issues.
Was running 1836 with no problems when I was temp rooted. Now I'm fully rooted and using nets kernel and capped at 1728. Both are stable and fast.

[Q] How hot is too hot?

I installed the webtop over hdmi mod on my Atrix and while testing it out, it got very warm in my hand. I opened the setcpu app and noticed that while overclocked to 1.3GHz, the CPU was running at 75C! I lowered it back down to the stock 1GHz and the temp slowly went down and settled at 63C.
It seems that while in webtop mode, the CPU is taxed at 100% all the time so I'm wondering if it's safe to stay overclocked when using webtop.
Everyone has different opinions of what is too hot around here.
IMO the cooler the better. IMI No Atrix should have a temp above 60c and I'm not even comfortable with above 50c either...
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I have experienced the same problem and worried that something may fry.... I have had mine overclocked at 1.45 using debian linux and all of a suddent he phone freezes and restarts.... Since it did it to me the second time I have kept my phone at 1Ghz... I am new at this so please don't beat me up too bad for being a noob... Just want to see if maybe undervolting it a little might help or hurt it?
Thanks in advance
Here are some tips I can offer
1.Try re-flashing your custom kernel and see if that fixes the web-top thing and over heating
Whenever the phone is plugged to the web-top it will naturally overheat so it's kinda expected remember now it's gotta work harder since its displaying on lap-dock or TV,but if you can cook an egg on it it might be too hot...lol
2.Set profile for temperature on setcpu so this way once you reach for example 100F your phone will clock down a little and so it might help the heat issue.You can set even more than one temp profile so this way when it reaches 96 it goes down a little then when it reaches 100 it will clock down a little more and such.
3.If that doesn't help,which in my situation it did.Flash a different kernel mayb it's just the one you're using that is causing funny stuff to happen.
Edit: not sure but i think undervolting helps battery but causes more heat,I myself don't undervolt I just created litterally a bunch of setcpu profiles for battery level,screen off,incall,charging,temp,and time and I'm getting 13 hour days at 1.3Ghz and temp profiles have been helping by clocking down when it's too hot therefore saving battery and drastic overheating.I dontlike my phone going anything over 104F it gets me paranoid,but that's just me.
I tried reflashing the kernel but it didn't change anything. I'm using Faux's 1.3GHz overclock kernel for Gingerbread (2.6.32.9). Is there something else I should be using?

Do what sktrix said in rest of his post.
I use the stopgap 1.0GHz kernel, and UV does lower temperatures. I would definitely try UV'ing a wee bit. You don't need to go crazy. I am using the following with great results for both temp and battery life:
-50
-50
-75
-75
-75
-100
-100
My setcpu profile clocks it back if I reach 60C, (I idle in the low to mid 30's). Under heavy load I reach around 52C max which is quite acceptable.
Now, granted I am not using Webtop, but the end result for UV should be the same. Lower temps and better battery life. You may also want to try just using 1.0GHz when on Webtop. The phone has more than enough power at this clock speed.
There is a bug with faux's kernel that causes the webtop to clock the phone at max speeds until restart.

I know I'm straying from my correct forums here, however I have an LG Optimus 2X which like the Atrix, is a Tegra 2 CPU.
Our phones get VERY hot, I have had my CPU up to 86C before I decided to back off the stress test. CPUs are very good at handling high temperatures, and IMO you will see no ill effects from doing so, I am unsure of whether or not the Tegra 2 has thermal throttling/shut down, but in my experience they should be fine to around 80C.
The only issue I can forsee is the battery, batteries HATE high temperatures and it is awful for their life span, this is why your laptop batteries turn to crap after 1-2 years, even if low charge cycles, because they are always hot.
I would not be concerned about anything in the 70C realm, at all.

Experienced this countless times. More with the latest 1.45Ghz, but it did happen on the previous release. When I dopped the mhz with setcpu, it wont scale but stay at max cpu. It even did it a few times without using the webtop.

So which overclocked kernel is best for webtop? I too have noticed where the CPU hangs at 100% at 1.45Ghz for a while when disconnected but it is always there when im in webtop mode.... How is Faux 1.3Ghz kernel with webtop?

It will still hang at 1.3ghz, though it's a known bug. I just stick with the 1.0 enhanced, there's no noticeable real-world difference from going over 1.0ghz anyway, it's just a benchmark gimmick. Right now, the software that's out there is optimized to run on existing hardware w/o overclocks. I've run Shadowgun at 1.45ghz and didn't see any difference over the 1.0 enhanced.
Now, if we were trying to run games that were coded specifically or faster-paced chipsets then we'd need overclocking to catch up much like you would in the PC arena. That, however, is not happening in the cell phone market just yet.

You will see a lot more optimization than just upping the clock speed. One of the reasons the 1.0GHz kernel works much better than the stock kernel. Also, the ability to undervolt saving battery life.
IMO there is no need for 1.3GHz or 1.45GHz in everyday use of a phone. The only benefit is for OC'ing bragging rights. Until we can control phone temperatures better, it's pointless to risk the substantial heat increase on ALL internal components for extended periods of time which results from much increased CPU temperatures.

I see... guess that explains why the phone doesn't really feel any faster when it's overclocked. I'll flash the 1GHz kernel then.
Thanks for the info.
Not sure if this is the same with phones but normally a CPU should stay at 40C idle and 50C load. Maximum would be 60C while benching or something.
If it goes above that I would definitely underclock/undervolt.

I know EXACTLY what you're experiencing. I HATED when that used to happen to me...
A fix that I tried and currently still use, is to use CPU Master (or I guess any other app that let's you set your CPU speed and over/under clock)
I usually set it to min. 1000mhz and max. 1200mhz, and voila, problem solved

that's still some pretty massive overclocking, running your CPU so high all the time will eventually eat up a lot of battery.
I think it's a problem with the phone's kernel not being very well optimized. Or.. maybe it's the developers who haven't optimized their games for dual cores, idk
