So let me get this straight. You can overclock the N900 to nearly twice it's stock cpu speed and it...
  • Runs faster,
  • Runs cooler,
  • 1.5-2x the battery life,
  • doesn't void the warranty or the warranty is ridiculously short?

This being the case, is there a good howto on overclock + undervolt? I know it requires the power users kernel...Is it just that and setting the kernel settings as the post on page 1 of this thread?

I saw an overclocking guide on the web, but there was no mention of undervolting. It ran the phone hotter, shortened the life of the processor and voided the warranty. I had thought about Doing that, but wanted to wait until it was closer to the end of (what I thought was) the end of the warranty period.

Thanks a million, gang!
