well I've heard that the safe overclock is around 1.15 GHz so really it's your fault...

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

well, tried to load starving... it just shuts down once starving is loaded...

guess i'll stick to xlv/ulv/lv for the moment

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

yes mine too! After ocing it to 1200 also even limit is only till 1150. Opps! I forgot! After OCing I placed it beside a candle covered with fireworks for christmas.

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

Mine goes all the way up to eleven. So there.

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

Hi guys, i'm new here. I did the OC of my N900 and i'm using LV with 250-850Mhz profile. And I would like to try to Fix the minimum and Max frequency to 850Mhz. I know how to do it, thanks to jakiman, but i have one question. What would be the overall effect of this fixing the frequency to a single value to the Battery Life? would it drain a little bit faster? or it would help lengthen the battery life of my N900? please clear this thing out for me. thanks.

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

I can't answer your question theoretically, but in practice I have mine set for max 900 and min 900 and don't see any difference in battery life.

The auto-scaler is pretty well tuned on the N900 to adjust between 4 or 5 ranges.

I do know that when some of the initial testing was happening (back in the 40 to 60-ish range in this thread?) it was found that using any setting below 250Mhz could cause instability, and that "optimal" energy performance was at 500Mhz. Using 500 as a min (with lower voltage) seems to be a theme in most of the pre-loadable profiles.

Personally, I have a 4 tier setup: 500, 650, 800, 950 and battery tends to last me 30ish hours with normal usage, 50ish hours when mainly on standby (eg light texting, no major browsing, etc).

I don't think setting it to one frequency will buy you much, and may actually reduce battery life. The built in scaler is pretty efficient at what it does, and it's running even if you have only 1 state (because technically, you always have two, with one being 0, or "standby"). All of this is based on how you use the device though, so the "best" settings will be different for everyone.
