Overclock to 1.15 Ghz
 

Finally my phones is fast, no more waiting 5 or 8 secs to answer a call, the browser is a dream guess this is the cpu speed the n900 should have from the store... this is the first time since i got this phone im happy w it :D :D

Re: Overclock to 1.15 Ghz
 

Wow good for you. Couple of qs..

1. Does teh phone heat up when browsing and / or using cpu intensive apps?
2. Whats the idle speed?
3. Are you using mod kernel or using CPUfreq util? If kernal can u giv us the link?

I've been using zImage's 930/125mhz for 5months already and pretty happy with teh performance. I would love to try it at 1GHz or higher but dont want to risk frying it. Can you advise?

Thanks

My n900 runs stable at 1.1 ghz. however is not stable at 1.15 ghz ie will reboot crash etc. using titans power kernel. limits 250 and 1100 mhz.

Re: Overclock to 1.15 Ghz
 

what did you guys use to do this? i have the custom kernel plus CPUfreq program. max i get is 9xx

its really funny. it saiz nos all over the walls. soooo overrated ****!

i NEEED NOS! (for my n900)

N900 doesn't need 5-6 seconds to answer a call. If so, you must have installed phone related stuffs like recaller or mycontacts.

I have customized kernel from below site. unfortunately 930/125 is the highest avail. I dont need to use any app to o/c it or code anything. It will stay like this even if i reboot.

Personally, I've gotten mine up to 1.15GHZ stably with all voltages under what Titan's XLV settings were:
0:22,90 125:22,180 250:22,180 500:30,360 550:32,400 600:34,430 700:39,430 750:41,430 805:45,430 900:50,500 950:54,500 1000:58,500 1100:67,520 1150:71,520

With those settings, I can run it under full load indefinately at 1GHZ, though it gets warm in my hand. 1.1GHZ is good for about 5 minutes before it gets warm enough that I stop testing; probably less than 50C core though. 1.15GHZ, about 3-4 minutes.

Note that those are under full load - If I planned to watch movies on my N900, something that needs as much processing power as it can get, I'd go with 900-1ghz max. If I was looking for quick response, say in webpages, but not something that will keep the processor loaded, 1.15ghz is probably fine.

Now, those are with my voltages. If your settings are higher, you'd probably want to clock it lower so you don't overheat it, or run it less time under load.

1. not when browsing, games like Zen Bound maybe but not so far...
2 500
3 i followed this http://wiki.maemo.orghttp://wiki.mae...ilable_kernels i guess is power kernel by titan or something like that

let me try more i've been trying for a day, let me try a week and i'll let u know how it works, the true is that i was so disapointed on this phone that i decided to burn it w 1150 but to my surprise the phone is amazing at that speed :D...

Also a very essential setting (especially if processor is enabled for 125 or 250 mhz!) is the Sampling Rate, which is 300.000 ms by default. I've been using 75.000 ms now for months, and it works great without any effects on battery draining. Up threshold 90 has worked nicely also, and Mhz setting has been 950/500. On vacation I noticed that the battery lasts about a WEEK (!), because I didn't do much surfing, calling or anything else than idle.
