Hey guys,
I've recently been testing out a custom profile for overclocking to 1.6GHz...
So far my device hasn't exploded... if you want to take the risks and test it yourselves, copy the profile below!
L0 1600MHz 1360mV 1160mV
L1 800MHz 1200mV 1100mV
L2 400MHz 1050mV 1100mV
L3 200MHz 950mV 1100mV
L4 100MHz 950mV 1000mV
So far I've tested it with 1600MHz-1600MHz scaling and haven't experienced any freezing or issues thus far, please let me know what results you experience. I have NO idea how this will effect battery life, but it made Modern Combat 3 run extremely well. It also may or may not improve performance by a noticeable factor though you be the judge!
Hope your keeping a close eye on temperatures? be sure and let us know how quickly that CPU burns out.
ZaIINN, why only 5 step profile?

Cool, with that much an overclock I figured it would fry these tiny chips like powering on a P4 Pentium without a cooler in place (for the record, about 30 seconds at best).

What software are you using for this, and what about for temp and voltage readings?
are you using tegrak overclock ultimate? becasue u can oc it to 1.6GHz

Hi im thinking of doing a overclock to 1.5 ghz is it safe for the processor and the battery life witch already sucks. has anyone on here whos done it using setcpu and the rom had any problems after doing so ? and how much faster is 1.5 ghz compared to 1.2 ghz on the galaxy s2 ? and is it safe in general for the hardware of the phone will the phone get hotter or have over heating problems ? also what should my settings be for minimum maximum and the voltages ?
Of course oc is going to make ur battery life a lot worse.

I haven' used Setcpu in a while but I believe it's got a feature to stress test the settings to see if it can handle it. Generally the worst that happens is it'll crash. So long as it doesn't get hot. Heat=death for electronics :')
I'm using tegrak (from market) to overclock to 1.4. I found 1.5 was too unstable. Noticeable difference between 1.2 & 1.4 is almost none. Also voltage increase of 50mv was needed to gain stability. There is not much point of overclocking the device IMO unless like me u just get some satisfaction out of knowing its running faster!

This is true. I see no difference between 1.2 & 1.5ghz. But that doesn't keep me from running it at 1.5 when I'm playing a game anyway :'D

Well it's not safe, that I can say. Nothing is safe when you don't know what other things are changing with the clock rate. But still you could do that. You just have to make sure that the temperature is within limit, it will be definitely high, but make sure it's not that high.
And upping the clock rate to 1.5 GHz won't drain any extra battery than 1.2 GHz.
Regards.

I tried the overclocking and each phone is different, increase then test, there are many benchmarking apps out there, I was stable at 1.4, my kernel does not include 1.5 GHz, and irregardless of what people may say, running the phone at higher clock speeds consistently DOES drain the battery more than 1.2GHz, unless you have found a way to manipulate the laws of physics. I don't see how one can fathom the thought that you can get a faster CPU at absolutely no cost.
Many people think when the CPU running faster means you complete tasks faster, hence 1.5 would complete a task faster than 1.2 and hence save battery, but I believe we use this phone as more than a calculator, so when you are performing a task that causes the CPU to run at 1.5 for a period of time e.g playing a game, browsing or whatever you do with your phone, then the CPU has to draw more power to keep the frequency at 1.5 as compared to the CPU running at 1.2
All in all, I dialed back because I was doing fine without it and I did not need it, other people may need it, and I wasn't gaining anything. to answer your question directly, it all depends on what you do with your phone, I'm not a huge gamer or anything and the 1.2GHz has proven to be more than enough for me to have a very pleasant experience using this device
Using it occasionally is safe, unless you stress your mobile at 1.5+ ghz for more than an hour or so.
The cpu governor will only make use of higher frequencies when there is a need, so mostly you will see your mobile idling at 200 mhz.

Not necessarily a lot worse. It depends on how you are using your phone, and what is causing it to run fast. If overclocking allows the phone to spend longer in deep sleep state, your battery will win. If its games, and by OC you achieve a higher frame rate, then the phone is doing more work, and this will be reflected in the battery life going down.
Most of the time, screen on is going to dominate. If you are a low screen-on user, I guess there is more chance for a higher max_cpu to be beneficial (it won't be used unless there is a task that requires it). More accurately, it helps some of the time, so the net result is not always obvious to predict.
How about undervolting?
Any danger in doing so- other than crashing when voltage is too low?
Before over clocking it might be worth downloading cpuspy from the market and seeing what time you spend in each speed.
Chances are most of the time you won't even hit 1.2 so might not have anything to gain by over clocking.
Then again I dont know how you use your device but I do know I was surprised when I found out.

I've played with the SuperSonic version of this phone (which has a 1.5Ghz core) and the results from photos/video are much better, I'm pretty sure the cameras are exactly the same but the SuperSonic benefits from the higher CPU.
I think it would be cool if somebody could write an app that states
IF user opens Camera application voltage + clock speed is increased to allow stable 1.5GHz speed
WHEN user closes camera application overclock turns off.
Thoughts?
You have a smartphone! Not a pc!
I didnt see any advantage if you oc to 1.5
Btw In normal use your phone keep in 200mhz not 1.2.
I think i only hit 1.2 two or 3 times for 3 seconds in a full battery cycle.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
oc dosnt make sense ,there no noticeable diff,an yes very few times i hit 1.2 mostly its on 800 or few times on 1000....using a device with 1.5ghz proccesor an oc a device to 1.5 ghz which has 1ghz processor is very diff in nature....
Fair enough.
Well I wouldn't mind an app that mazes out at 1.2GHz with camera app open, as it can lag when shooting HD.
oc upto 1.4 ghz is fair enough, anything more than that is a waste. though you cant find any visible difference between 1,1.2 and 1.4 it does helps in maintaining smoothness on some situations.
yes very true i had oc my sgs1 at 1.2ghz and sgs2 at 1.4ghz but frankly i dint see the diff so after few days use i turnd to orignal settings....but many use oc an phone works fine,but depends on personel use......an yes as bala_gammer says its fine on 1.4ghz......cheeeerz

I also noted that gameloft games are makes more over heat for phone..
Which is the best and safe voltage level for 1.4 ghz 1250mv or 1275mv or 1300mv

Hello, I have an HTC thunderbolt, rooted with CM7, and installed setcpu and used autodetect and I put the CPU govern to "conservative" with minimum GHz 245 and maximum 1.8GHz and I am just wondering if this is safe? because I read some threads about Compatible kernels and I jave no idea what that means, they were also talkimg about undervolting, which agaim I do not know means, anyways thanks for reading

If your device will run reliably at 1.8GHz, then there's not much to worry about as long as the voltage isn't too high. High voltages and heat can shorten the SoC's life or kill it altogether. Generally, I don't recommend running that fast because the performance increase isn't as great from 1.6GHz to 1.8GHz as it is from 1.41GHz to 1.6GHz. These cores weren't meant to run any faster than 1.5GHz really, and anything past that doesn't increase the performance as much as the numbers might suggest.
Also, a conservative governor probably isn't ideal if you're willing to run a device that fast. That governor would seldom, if ever, use that kind of speed. I'd suggest smartass, smartassV2, ondemand, or interactive if you're looking to see a good boost in performance.
If you're looking for an app to view and adjust voltages, IncrediControl works well. For all the nitty-gritty of overclocking, I'd recommend reading my OC guide. It's in the "Second Post" of my Q&A thread. If you've got any questions, feel free to hit me up.

I look at it like this. My screen eats up most of my battery. The less time it's on, the better. Overclocking uses more power for the CPU, but the display spends less time telling you it's waiting. It doesn't really add functionality, just speed and efficiency.
after root... i have installed SetCpu, i have overclock my processor to 1.6ghz.. the question is, can i use this setting for daily use? is it will cause my processor hot or damage??
Depends on the phone. Mine can't run above 1.4ghz stable (but my GPU can overclock easily).
^What he said. Try it for a while, but if you get reboots or freezes, pull it back to 1.4 or 1.2.
if it runs stable then you can no problem
Watch your temp. Might be a phone but it's the same as a computer. That reno gets to high, and you're looking at overheating and possibly causing corrupted files from shut downs or worse, hardware damage.
Correct me of I'm wrong.

Just make sure you don't check "Set at boot" until you're sure you can set it at 1.6 with out reboots and crashes...... GL
Why 1.6ghz all the time? 1.4ghz uses MUCH less power (meaning less heat as well) and is 99% as smooth.

Very good point....
I underclock to 800 . And phone is just as snappy. Why would ya wanna use 1.6 out of curiosity ?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
Honestly the only reason someone would overclock to 1.6 GHz would be for bench marking, which i find useless. My processor is usually clocked to 800 MHz and i can play games like N.O.V.A. 3 with only slight lags here and there.
I do something similar to a few people here. I keep it at 800 most of the time and bump it up to 1000 when I'm playing certain games. Then back to 800 when I'm done. Responsive enough for whatever I have to do and doesn't overheat.
Wow OP
What a question OP.
I can't believe no one called you out yet.. I will be the first
If you want to kill your phone hardware then keep it at 1600! (which is overclocked too you dummie)
USE SetCPU so that your phone can
1. remain cool when high CPU cycles are needed
2. save battery by making profiles especially for when your phone screen is off

ok theres good guides out there. just google it
Ok I bought a GT-I9300 and after some months I thought about installing a custom rom.The cynanogen 10.1 rom installed perfectly ran a benchmark test and got 15568 after installing siyah custom kernel i started benchmarking at 1300 mhz,1500mhz and finally 1800 mhz.
The results were quite impressive but i want more the results i got were 18843 but i saw 20218 running at 1600 mhz and the resolution was 716x92 this got me thinking how did he manage that and it was android 4.1.2. By the way im running 4.2.2.
the results don't mean anything
it may be low because apps running background and actually you may get good score on 4.1.2 roms as there are many roms based on 4.1.2, so the developers do so much to improve perfomance.. so try without any app and if you search you may fina an thread which may help you to overclock to an whooping 2ghz

Why the obsession with particular scores? My S3, running codecrom 10.6.1 is silky smooth and tbh I have no idea what my benchmark scores are and don't care. Yes there are endless tweaks and settings that can be changed to massage your scores but they wont make your phone any better.

Exactly, I really don't get why people overclock their CPU/GPU to get higher scores. I mean what good does it do? I undervolted and underclocked my CPU to get a better battery-life and the device is still smooth as silk but also gives me better battery-life. It`s never really healthy to overclock your device.
Try to cool down your CPU.
Liquid nitorgen or helium can do the job.

"Look, these numbers must mean something!"
No, they don't. This benchmark is pointless. You can get better "using" results on lower numbers than on high ones. For example cpu governor. Pegasusq based on Perseus kernel will try to balance used cores based on system load to improve battery life and performance at the same time. Because of that you can get much less points but overall it'll still perform as good as locking 100% all cores, of course if you'll in fact need such power. What's the freaking point using 100% of CPU for simple 2d game for example if it needs only about 10%?
I have a super old galaxy nexus that im currently using because i was flashing new rom on my note 3 and killed it.
So i decided to flash franco kernel in this baby to make this underdog fly with 1.8ghz.
The stock is 1.2ghz.
What i did was i set min freq=1.8 max freq=1.8.
Did some stress test, didnt have issues (no reboot or shutdown). But the frequency will drop go 192mhz to 384mhz.
Everytime i stress the phone (games or heavy multitasking), the phone would simply downclock itself even though i DEMAND and LOCKED the frequency to 1.8ghz.
Any ideas? I assume its thermal throttling
If so, how can i get around it? I just want maximum amount of performance
Thanks guys.

Even if i dont overclock the phone, the galaxy nexus would downclock itself from its 1.2 ghz down to somewhere around 500mhz anyways.
Seems to be aging because literally anything i throw at it, it will overheat regardless.
I just want a usable phone, if its constantly clocked at 500mhz, its literally slow enough for me to certify its a piece of garbage
