So i've rooted my sgs3 and installed siyah kernel, and today i have overclocked my cpu to 1,6 GHz and my gpu steps are 1. 160MHz, 2. 275MHz, 3. 400MHz, 4. 533MHz, 5. 640 MHz, is this safe in long terms or should i lower those values? I've ran the stress test in set cpu and it showed no errors and i havent experienced any so far, my governor is pegasusq and my scheduler is row, i just want to know what more experienced users think about the values i've set and is there any posibility that i damage my hardwer? Thank you for your response in advance

personally think any overclock is not good thing for hardware. unless you really really need it and doesn't even care about hardware lifetime.
just like human body , if you make some sport slowly and smoothly , your muscles won't be harmed. otherwise , like you have done some sport which is very heavy, you know you will feel your whole body is ache all over in next day, or something like that.
the only different is that your body will recover itself if the damage is not too serious , but phone's hardware does NOT ...

Hi everyone,
I recently stumbled upon Hakeem's thread, which details the necessary configurations to extend the battery life of the HD2 running Android. One of the key configurations is to use SetCPU to underclock the device from 1GHz to around 600MHz.
I really want to try it out, but my bf told me it might be risky. He said that since the CPU is now running at a lower clockspeed, it might lead to HD2 overheating if I were to run multiple applications (compared to the default, 1 GHz config). I'm no techie, so I really don't know if what he's saying is true.
Are there any risks associated with underclocking the HD2 using SetCPU? Thanks a bunch!

I have used SETCPU on my device for 1 whole month, there is nothing bad happens and it is safe.
In addition, you can install this app "current widget" or put a SETCPU on your homescreen to track your device temperature. This is the safest way.
Cheers,hope this help...
As opposed to overclocking, underclocking shouldn't pose any risks. You are basicly running your CPU at a lower frequency than designed, so your device will be cooler to start with. Even when maxing your CPU load, by running a lot of apps, your CPU is operating under its designed capacity. It will therefore never get hotter than a stock HD2 running full load at 1Ghz.
Furthermore there are built in safeguards to prevent catastrophic overheating. So basicly its safe and you should have no issues. Except, maybe, insufficient CPU capacity when running a lot or a heavy app.
Hope this helps!

He's an idiot. If you make it faster, its generating more heat, if you pump up the voltage it makes more heat. There is no possible way for lowering it to cause it to run hotter.
If you are that concerned, create a profile in set CPUto lower CPU and use conservative when temp reaches a certain point.

My HD2 is locked to 245mhz - 400mhz when on a black screen (so locked.) When in use it fluctuates between 245 - 998mhz depending on usage.
had it this way for months. No ill affects and makes the battery last that little bit longer.
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.

i hope u are aware of the ill effects of OCing.....battery takes a real beating....well i have done it upto 886 mhz....many others have done it upto 1ghz mark...but i personally do not recommend...
CPU Tuner
I try CPU Tuner, is similar ti setCPU but is free whit THE END 3.0 custom ROM and use the 864-254 mhz for screen on and 480-122 for screen off whitout problems, previously I use 904 mhz, but sometime it freeze...

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.

Can i overclock my OPTIMUS ONE p500 running with 4WiSEMONKEYS ROM to
Minimum CPU frequency = 320 or 480
Maximum CPU frequency = 729..
CAN I OVERCLOCK IT?
what is the disadvantage of this? or what is the bad result of this??
PLEASE HELP GUYS!
thanks
Read other threads first..................
I think 320 and 691 is best for our O1

Yes u can safely over clock it upto 748 MHz. But over clocking the phone has its disadvantages. So I'd recommend overclocking while playing games whereas keeping it on 600/480 at other times
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
Yes you can UC and OC this ROM, but as you were told it has disadvantages:
Heating, to mention one. Instability?
If you are using some OC application (e.g. setCPU and similar) that supports profiles, you can enable different frequencies for different cases (screen off, charging etc) so if you're on 729MHz and temperature gets above, say 45degrees, profile can enable something like 600MHz and so on.
I've found through trial and error (actually more error than trial ) that is it not such a good idea to OC this phone beyond 729-748MHz, and it is really dumb to OC beyond it + enable "start on boot" option
So, just in case you finger "accidentally slides" to higher frequency ranges, better have either an "undo settings" flashable file or a recent nand backup...
To make long story short: no real benefit below 300MHz (I had lots of freezes with lower freqs), not much gain above 729MHz (unless you need desperately something to heat the room in the winter ).
Thanks for the help guys
i think stable o.c for our optimus 1 is ranges from 320 up to below 700..
by the way im asking it becoz i will use it everyday..
maybe thats all i think.. hehe

Basically there's not much difference between voltages at 320/480 Mhz. So you can use any of them while among the higher ranges 729 is much more stable than 748.What I mean to say is-take your pick

by the way, if i overclock it up to 729? it will make my battery much weaker?
and i think if i use wifi or play it will make my unit hotter? something like feeling something in the back? im just curious )

Over clocking above 700Mhz will always produce more heat than normal...and let me say-while playing games or using internet-you will really feel the heat Battery falls much faster...Do not allow increase of temperature above 40°C or it can seriously harm health of battery
PS-Heat can be decreased by opening back cover and exposing to a fan or something.Personally I overclock upto 748Mhz (mostly 729)

OK its final i will overclock it less than 700 )
LOL!
thanks
but i think i can feel the heat in less than 700 hahahaha!
but its ok i will just get the back cover
In the thread it's recommended that, as it is unstable, you shouldn't overclock it and stay the way it is
I don't know if mileage will differ from one phone to another, but mine's set to 320-768. I've kept it that way for the longest time, even before trying out 4WISEMONKEYS. So far so good. If I set it to any other 700-something MHz that's when I feel the heat.
Hello all
I have a bit of a small problem. I like to run my phone using the Performance Governor but after a while it goes to 1Ghz on all 4 cores despite me running it at 1.8Ghz. Setting it back seems to correct the issue but in time it goes down again.
I believe it is getting a bit warm and thus it hits a limit and the system auto slows to 1Ghz.
Can anyone confirm this behaviour? It never happened to me before but I have had a few kernel updates and updates to the Omega ROM that could be the cause but I am not sure. Is there a setting where I can tell my phone what temps to throttle at?
Also, I assume all this is down to the Kernel and not the ROMs?
Would like some imput regards where to start my search to return my phone to its previous state as a pocket heater.
Many Thanks

Don't use it. Pegasusq is the only one really working for multi-core CPU's with hotplugging and so on.

1.8Ghz is not healthy for the CPU in the long run and will cause overheating which is exactly what you are currently seeing.
Especially since you keep the phone on 100% CPU power all the time (performance governor) which should drain battery like hell as a side effect.

This is down to your settings. Neither rom nor kernel.
- Don't overclock (much)
-Use a good kernel such as Siyah
-Undervolt if the phone remains stable
-Use pegasusq Governor

Hi buddy and thanks for your response.
I am not sure about what you said regarding it working correctly, it gets the best results for any benchmark compared to others so I would be interested in more detail about the specifics of how its not working correctly as I have never been told that. It would be appreciated.
I dont mind the battery drain although I do heed your warning about about longevity of the CPU.
I have been using Siyah Kernel for some time now and I find undervolting a little unstable, for now I am forced to use pegasusq.
Can you or anyone else answer the original question as I still wish to pursue this to a resolve other than not using it.
Many thanks for your time and efforts non the less!

it´s samsung´s based roms related: when the battery temp hits 41C the cpu will throttle. Nothing related with de cpu temp (can be at 80C before throttles).
try CM10.1 and you´ll see what im talking about.
We need a solution for this throttling with samsung based roms
Hi, I own this phone and I do overclock the processor, if you can help me , tell me step by step how.

Your english is fine.
To overclock the CPU, you need a custom kernel that supports CPU overclocking. If you're using a stock rom, use a stock kernel, otherwise use an AOSP kernel.
I don't recommend overclocking this phone in particular. It has heat damage issues (can damage digitalizer at specific temperatures).
Overclocking in general is a good idea, but bad for phones. Remember that the temperature rises very quickly with slight voltage additions. Therefore, the CPU will be throttled instantly to a lower frequency (ie: 1497MHz) anyway to prevent damage. It also drains the battery that much quicker.
Quad core (armv8?) @ what? 2.5Ghz if I'm not mistaken. Dude that should already be plenty fast. Honestly most people overclock older devices to give them that last shining chance to go down. Your G2 isn't dated by any means and is still up with the crowd as far as hardware goes.
G2's cpu is still good enough for most tasks without compromising any performance issues.
