What kernel version? 1.15 Ghz?
I'm with titan v3.7 and N900 is warm.

Same kernel, starving profile. So far at 805mhz, device never got warm.

But thanks for the laugh :)

If you start crashing unexpectedly AT ALL with that configuration, I think it would mean that you are NOT ok. If you seem to be fine, without a lot of overheating, I would guess you ARE ok.

You seem to imply that the combination of that frequency with starving is especially hazardous. I think that they are two separate issues. Starving doesn't work for me, for example, even without overclocking (I am pretty sure). Everyone has to test and judge their own device.

I think I could probably go with 1+ Ghz overclocking, but I stay with 850 mhz. That makes me feel safe. And ideal voltage, which is much as I can do without crashing from time to time.

I wanted to hear sideffects if there are any like heat issue at the higher frequency. Knowing that my device runs stable at 1+ ghz with the lowest votages makes me wanna increase. It's eating me inside :(

Re: Overclock the N900?

ive been running at 850 with the slightly tweaked voltages per jakimans recommendation for a month or so now, and today I noticed it doesnt go above 600. stupid slow phone... a sudo reboot didnt change anything... ill try rebooting again... and if it still doesnt work, ill re enter the terminal command... has this happened to anyone else?

Re: Overclock the N900?

after a few days with LV 500-900MHz /opt is ****ed Dx

I have no idea what you ment :p

Re: Overclock the N900?

after a few days using the Low Voltage profile, with minimum clock 500Mhz and maximum clock 900Mhz, the /opt partition has gone to hell

Re: Overclock the N900?

Hi just picked up a n900 was following a guide to overclock and install a custom kernel but when i select Enhanced linux kernel for power users (settings) from application manager it says there is conflicts with applications packages:

Kernel-modules-meamo
kernel-maemo
Kernel-modules-meamo
kernel-maemo

That wasn't a typo application manager actually says both of them twice so i guess i need to remove these packages before installing the custom kernel or does anyone know what could be causing this and how to fix it I've read a couple post on this thread about the problem but didn't see resolve the problem.

Also i don't have fcam installed.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Re: Overclock the N900?

Been running mine for a few week at 950....with no issues..ha so far anyway. No crashing, freezing or heat.

And here in UK weather is cooling down so thats the heatsink covered...:D

Re: Overclock the N900?

besides having to reinstall lots of stuff, it seems i might also have caused some permanent damage, already the second random reboot now...
