Overclock to 1.6 to match note 2 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was told the Note 2 has the same processor as the S3 only it is overclocked to 1.6, is this true?
If that's the case that must mean we can overclock our S3 to 1.6 perfectly safely?
I'm just curious as overclocking is not something I would normally do, in fact I normally under clock. But if it's totally safe too then why not!

yea it does mate, mines overclocked to 1.6 ghz and you do notice a little boost in peformance and it doesnt affect battery life too much not in my experience anyway

Same kinda went funny at 1800 so keeping it safe at 1600

[Q] Why does the Atrix use so much power at low CPU speeds?

So I am working on undervolting the atrix, and right now its stable with a -500mV setting to the 216, 456, 608, and 750MHz speeds. Why is the stock voltage set so high?
I noticed that also.....kinda crazy.

What, other phones usually run much lower?

Honestly I forgot the exact amount my sgs ran at but I could UV it by like -125, -100, and -50 from slowest to fastest so -500 seems like a pretty extreme UV...its like 60-70% undervoltage...

I think you should go compare the values of other tegra 2 devices to see if it's common across tegra or specific to the atrix. That's first place to start.
But yes that is amazing that you got -500 mV stable.
PM me if you need some other tegra 2 repository links.

MiniCM7_Pro_V9 Help?

Hi, I installed MiniCM7_Pro_V9, when I try to overclock my phone over 756mhz, it frozes, I already did a factory reset and i also formated the sdcard, but i still have the problem, another issue that i found is that if I go over 710mhz the camera does not work.
Somebody help me please...
The freezing issue is simply your processor not coping with that high a clock, my girlfriends can't go above 729mHz whereas mine is clocked to 806mHz with no over heating or freezing issues at all even under prolonged heavy use, not sure about the camera isssue though

I have no idea why mine can operate so high and others can't, the only explanation I can think of is its the same with a pc processor, ya can get 2 totally identical processors yet when ya overclock them they have different tolerance levels with regards to how much and how far they can be pushed

Well, how many apps you have in your phone? That might be the problem, because i installed a lot of apps (around 60 apps).
Or as you said it your processor has a better tolerance level, so your a lucky men .
Thank you very much Lancerfq.
It has nothing to do with the amount of apps. It is just simply you will never get any piece of hardware that is exactly identical.
As Lancerfq said, due to manufacturing constraints each cpu has different tolerances.

EVO 3d Processor Clock Standard

Why htc evo 3d is 1.2 ghz when the MSM8660 is 1.5 ghz natively?
And if i'll overclock it to 1.5 ghz the processor will have less life?
Thanks.
The 3vo is an overall less stable phone so if they set it any higher it might as well be a brick
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
every one of my current kernels run the cpu @ the qualcomm spec'ed speed by default
for the 3d, it is 1.51GHz
not 1 person has had an issue with this... and stability is solid
Its not uncommon for manufacturer to underclock processors for overall performance improvement and battery life.

They do it for stability and to keep heat down along with battery life in mind
Same goes for all CPU or video cards for the pc or laptops heat and stability . It's what ran best at the factory when it was designed .

You can do what you want man lol just the more you up the CPU the more battery it will use also if you don't do it right it can burn it up. So just be careful .
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
if you look at qualcomm`s website you will notice that they state that it is clocked at 1.5ghz. I have been running it and it reduces lag with minimal battery drain. because it was built to clock at 1.5ghz it will run at optimal efficiency at this speed. what causes instability is over and under volting.

I don't know where you get your info from about the 3VO being an already unstable phone to begin with, and setting it to manufacturer standards will only make the phone a "brick."
I really hope that was a troll post and not from a real 3VO owner.
Most ROMS you find, O/C to 1.5ghz anyway. Stability? Pffft.
mmmm.. i can't understand you. please write english a little better. Anyway if i'll set the cpu to 1.5ghz i don't ruin it right? It will not have a lesser life right? Because it's 1.5 ghz native.

Stock speed is what it was designed for . I wouldn't mess with things. You can if you want but whenever you bump the CPU up it does tend to use more battery among heat.

its rated for 1.5ghz -on the reference system-, if a builder make a system which dont follow reference board specifics it has to adjust something to make for it, in this case clock speed.
as generally builder are required to leave a lot of leeway in their specs you shouldnt have problems, just a processor a bit warmer than what specs require and which use more battery than for htc specs.
yet keep in mind that you arent using it as for -htc- specs (which supersedes the cpu maker) so you arent covered by warranty if something goes wrong.

I'm running my EVO at 1.5ghz for 2 months now, and I dont experience any of the mentioned issues, NO extra heat.(maybe because of the winter temperature ), NO battery drains.
Remember that there is a cpu governor which manages the cpu ghz as per the use demands.
Hope this will satisfy your concerns.

Lol I agree cause of the winter... Tho the kernel depends on who messed with it some folks tweak things and other can tweak it to run all the time at a certain speed which isn't good to do all the time..
ya i think HTC did it just to squeeze some more life out of these batteries.
Mmmm... Ok that's right. But you haven't answered to my question >.< Overclock to 1.5 Ghz will ruin the cpu?? Will have the cpu less life time?

how do you know? will you refound him if you are wrong?
dont just give false assurance if you cant put your money were you put your mouth..
1.2 ghz are what the hardware designer set as specs, anything else is a risk - minimal but still there is a chance that something will go wrong and if it happens its not covered by warranty as you are running the thing out of specs.
so its the owner choice, the risk its really small, nearly irrilevant but you cant tell him that there isnt any.

Why do you want to raise the voltage? Usually you lower the voltage even when Overclocked, on mine it's OC'ed at 1.83 GHz and undervolted between -50 mV to -75 mV depending on the frequency steps. Any way, the hardware has a tendency to perform differently for each phone/user so you'll need to find what works well for your hardware.
What are the stock CPU voltages for a Att Note. I'll looked around a bit and found some for the International Note. But, not for the ATT and TMO Note.

If you run system tuner it starts with the default voltages, I beleive it's 1375mV at 1.89 GHz, 1350 at 1.83 GHz, with a 25 mV drop for each cpu down clock, I say "I beleive" because I haven't been at stock voltages or clocks for a long time. Get System Tuner, free btw, from the market and it will till you.

{XPERIA U}[DISCUSSION] Overclocking to 1.15 GHZ

I just wanted to ask people because many kernels force 1.15 GHZ frequency and I wanted to ask people what do you think about it,is it safe or not and did anyone do stress test with SetCPU and is phone overheating with it.
Thanks,XperianPro.
It can do damage after a certain time. If you have it set for a long time on that frequency it will overheat! It is safe but as long as you don't use always use it. You should use it only to speed up some tasks! There is a reason why they have chosen not to set it as max frequency on stock rom.

the same ideal with u, i dont think it wll be safe for a long -time using.
I think Your CPU will be damaged when u used 1.15Ghz for a long time day to day
if the voltage used for getting 1.15ghz is the same as 1.0ghz then there is no difference...any heating up will be a minimal increase over the stock, if any
if voltage is higher...then i would imagine it would have an affect after some time as others stated
15% overclock is a joke, my Galaxy Mini was overclocked over 40% (from 600MHz to 864MHz, but i used 800MHz almost all the time), was hot like hell and still works fine now after almost 2 years and shows no signs of stopping
Unless you want your phone to last 20 years, YES, 1.15GHz is perfectly fine by me.

thats because Galaxy mini was Downclocked by samsung
other samsung devices wich have exactly the same cpu gpu are 800mhz at stock
and they can be ocd to 970MHz
galaxy mini can run those 800 mhz freqs easily because they downclocked the device

That CPU on that board was designed to run at 600MHz, so you can't call it a downclocked CPU. Galaxy Ace and Mini had the same chipset, but the CPU itself wasn't completely the same. Not all Galaxy Minis where able to go 800MHz+
Same could be said for our Xperia U, Galaxy S2 has a dual-core Cortex A9 CPU running at 1.2GHz, so does that make our CPU downclocked? Ofcourse it doesn't, because the SoC is completely different, although the cores might be the same.

I have some Questions
How can u call it a downclock when it supposed to be 600 mhz as I know
And why could Samsung downclock the phone it is better to make it 800MHZ then
I think overclock is different between all chipset
Just like snabdragon and and our ****tyThor cpu

Well my old live with walkman worked to on 2.0 GHz but I could feel overheat remember that this is Novathor not Qualcomm.
So anyone brave enough to test phone with stresstest on 1.15 GHz for about two hours?
Sent from my Xperia U using xda app-developers app
There are kernel that boost cpu to 1.3 ghz... so 1.15ghz is safe for me
I read somewhere, that max safe frequency for NovaThor U8500 is 1,2 Ghz. So 1,15 Ghz should be safe enough.
Xperia [email protected] 2
It's safe i'm using my phone for almost 2 weeks at 1,15 Ghz and not a signle problem, not even overheat! I say it's 99.9% safe.
I am using 1.15ghz from about 3 months and no problems at all
I have been using 1.15 ghz for months now and I play games quite frequently and it has been safe and stable for me
I Think that the Novathor U8500 in focus, can be easly OC to 1.15 GHz without having particular trouble in fact of stability or hw issues, as it is capable of a theorical max of 1.2 GHZ ( as seen in some websites on fast google search "NovaThor U8500 max freq" )
.Hoping this is real, remember that this may affect nor the voltage but the steps that the governor has to do before reach the 1.15 GHz. Some good kernel, as most of the JB Designed kernel are set by default to max 1.15GHz.
