Xperia mini pro overclocking information - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

I want to know what's the safe overclocking maximum and governor . I also want to know what's the maximum safe temperature? Is 50c' as a maximum safe? Thanks for your help.

theres no such tthing as safe oc.
each and every cpu had different characteristic thus different capability when it comes to oc. what might works with others might just hardbrick yours. you just need to experiment yourself. do note thats its dangerous. earlier one guy already fried his phone when oc to 1.8ghz+playing gta3.
and for me personally 45c feels too hot already.

I know what you mean. You are right of course. Mine is overclocked to 1.3ghz governor smartassV2 and the max temp for overclocking is my problem now. I can't decide what is the max temp at which the phone should go back to 1ghz . Do you think 45c' as a maximum safe?

then use any app that can create profile to automatically lower cpu freq based on temperature eg cputuner or setcpu.

I'm already using CPU master pro . I created a profile for overheating but I don't know what is the maximum temperature that I should use?

I'd say 45° MAX. Or even less. And still you can't be 100% sure you won't have any problem.

Overclock question

I downloaded nemisis's kernel 1200 OC and -50UV. it says the kernel is already overclocked. Does that mean i dont have to use setcpu? I never used any of these overclocked or undervolted kernels before. What instances do i need setcpu for?
You need to use setcpu. Its also useful for when u want to use different kernel governers or profiles under certain conditions.

ok so then the enderst special oc 1200 mhz uv by -50mv kernel is basically useless unless i use that app then (minus the UV)? also what are the chances im gunna fry my processor if i keep this overclock kernel for everyday use?
Edit: also how hot is too hot for a battery to get? aka whats a normal range? also after heavy use (like after playing angry birds or tank hero)?
The battery in our phone (cobalt li-on) should never go above 130c. At above 150c you going to get thermal runaway and have a dead or exploded battery.
For a good article on lithium batteries see: www.buchmann.ca/article28-page1.asp

The profiles are NOT compatible with Galaxy S phones, at least the Fascinate. Some may work for some people alright, but most people experience many different problems, I myself have problems with the profiles. I recommend against using them. Just use it for the governor/overclock.

How many marks you get in Quadrant Standard?

I got 2461 with stock rom @ 1Ghz
I got 2376 with stock rom @ 1gh via quadrant advanced...
pretty much same , 24xx ... bye the way, what is your choice on governer? interactive or ondemand?
I've gotten about 26xx to 27xx

3800+? How did you get that high?
I'm running SGT 10.1 rooted/In Parisv4/Pershoot's kernel and OC @1.4 or so I thought. I read this and opened Quadrant Standard. Ran it and got 1829. I noted this was about the same as those running at 1Ghz and knew something wasn't right. I went into SetCPu and checked "set at boot" rebooted the tab, and my scores are now much betta:
2941
3069
3069
3063
not bad, but based on the advice in the SETCPu setup guide and my experience as an original/gangster of PC overclocking (Celery Sandwich will likely tell my age) this not be any issue at all, for the SGT10.1, but if you start seeing weird ()&(^$# THEN BACK IT DOWN, RINSE, REPEAT AT A LOWER FREQUENCY, if the problem can't be reproduced there it's likely due to instability between frequencies of CPU and main memory. Bottom line step your oclock up slowly until you hit repeatable instabilities/errors/crashes, and then back it down.
Anyone know off the top of their head an app to monitor the temperature of the CPU? I get the battery temp from inside Set CPU along with a lot of great info except my CPU temp, which is typically important for OC'ers.

[Q] SetCPU vs CPU Master?

Hey all,
I've been using CPU Master on my Rezound since I rooted it. But I used to use SetCPU on my Dinc. My question is, which do you prefer? I have the free version of CPU Master and paid for SetCPU.

I paid for setcpu too but I was having issues so i tried cpu master before buying it. least try cpu master and if it setcpu is better then get your refund

well if setcpu works for you then stick with it. cpu master gives extra features

Under/overvolting and io scheduler selection is really the only things it offers in the paid version. I've used setcpu on my og droid and on my incredible, but I bought CPU master when I got my rezound and I actually prefer it over setcpu. One thing I like is that the profiles are already set up for you, all you have to do is enable or disable them.
I've had really good luck with CPU tuner
Free and has a lot of features.
Under 8 posts for me so I can't post the stupid link... Just search for it in the market and check out the reviews.
If I wanted to undervolt, how far under should I go? My kernels have always handled voltage for me lol

this varies from person to person. needs to be scaled right while you're finding the sweet spot. I do -25 for each frequency. run it for awhile to see if you get a random reboot or lag and just reverse what you did. I did -25 for each until I have time to drop them further

Thanks very helpful. Seeing how well the undervolting goes before I make my final decision
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
Depends upon the kernel. I found SetCPU worked better with stock and Ziggy's kernel. With dsb's smartass v.2 kernel, I find CPU Master works better.
Yeah I know that each phone individually responds differently to cpu/voltage changes. The dinc i had before this would take any frequency and kernel would throw at it. However underclocking/volting on my Rezound almost always ends in fc's
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
I use SetCPU mostly if I can... Provides more information than CPU master pro, I have both... The only thing that CPU master pro does that SetCPU doesn't is change voltages, in a crappy way though. I don't go through every clock to change them, that takes way too long. Instead I use incredicontrol to change them all simultaneously... I've never had problems with one over the other. They have both worked for me on all the kernels for this phone.
setcpu
I'm using Ineffabilis v1.0 with Ziggy's kernel. SetCPU has worked for me with no issues. I haven't tried CPU Master but I guess I haven't had the need to cuz SetCPU is working for me. I just don't completely get the whole undervolting. I understand the concept but don't know how to apply it with SetCPU, if that's even possible.

I haven't tried to play around with voltages on the rezound, but on my tbolt I could drop voltages 100 each and be fine, but couldn't run at 1.8 no matter what I tried.

You can't change voltage with SetCPU. CPU Master can. Correct me if I'm wrong but kernels can also effect voltage. Amirite?

I was assuming that SetCPU didn't control the voltage... thanks.

Overclocking progress so far...keep going?

Hey guys I just started overclocking my ace and i must say i am seeing a difference in performance. Now a bit more details:
ROM: Stocklite V6
Using No Frills CPU Control (which came with the ROM)
So far my settings for the highest clock is:
MAX clock freq: 864mhz
Governor: performance
I/O sch: deadline
Should I keep pushing for a higher clock speed or is that good enough, and what are the signs of an unstable OC, i've been playing angry birds after each OC, also going on the market and downloading stuff, is that enough or should I run something else?
I know the minimum clock speed recommended for the ace is 245mhz, right now i'm just trying to get the highest clock speed, when I attain the highest clock speed, which governor would you guys recommend, on demand or smartass?
Try smartass v2
Use zimage which has multi overclock option
And keep min 245
And Max 902

Thanks man, i'll give it a go now and report back.
HUMM...just tried 883mhz and within 2mins of playing angry birds the phone rebooted...i guess I will have to live with 864mhz...but still it's a good OC, everything feels much more.....crisp
Study about the CPU governors before you start using them. Performance governor uses the MAX CPU clock @ ALL THE TIME, Uses the hell of a battery. & SGA is meant to be working on 800 max at all the time, it was running 864 continuously. No wonder why your phone rebooted. Continuous OCs will hamper your phone life.

Please, please, PLEASE. Don't use that gibberish writing style. Use normal english, as we all try to do (I think a very few of xda users speak english as a native language, as well).

i can say that u speak for all of us. and u can read minds!
I'm not going to leave the governor on performance, I was just using it to let the phone run all out while OC'ing, I have enabled the Smartass V2 governor now and all is good. Now i'm finding the lowest clock speed where everything still moves smoothly. So far 320mhz is pretty decent..jittery but decent.
guys, which kernel i can use for a good overclock? I am using zImage-Mod v1.5 more i can´t overclock with this..

what u suffering???
mine since last 3 month until now 24h oc..320 min 902 max using ketut kernel..
please share what u suffering...
If i OC mine beyond 844 MHz my phone restarts
Dont think that if one person gets 902 or 920, that you will be able to as well
test each stage carefully. IMHO OC isnt worth it (im happy with max 800)

Max safe processor clock?

I use 1200 mhz but is it safe also is safe any higher clock?
Sent from my WT19i using Tapatalk
each cpu is different and unique even for the same model. what is working with me doesnt mean it'll works with u too, and the other way around.
what is safe for me doesnt mean it'll be safe for u too.
do experiment. try all which is most stable.
but remember, set more clock than standart is shortening cpu life.

Shortening CPU life? Lol... No, it only shortens your battery life...
Sent from my ST17i using XDA
It will shorten the CPU life if it constantly stays in higher than recommended temperatures.
always remember,
with great power lies great responsibility,
overclock responsibly...
