Hi guys,

Im new her to the forums and have a question about overclocking the n900 and the hopefully soon to come p.r. 1.2

1) What is the best way to overclock the n900 without giving up to much stability?

2) If I overclock what will happen when pr1.2 comes out? Should i re-clock the device or will things keep on working the way they did before the update?

BTW im totaly new to overclocking so please for the sake for this and other noobs,give me some advice.

Thanks in advance

Overclocking with titan's kernel is pr 1.2 compatible. 900 mhz runs most stable.

Great so i could use this titan 900mhz even though i still have the current version and dont have to change anything if the new version comes out?

What about if I encounter any problems? How do I get back to the standard nokia settings?

Yes, it seems so.

everything is written in the Wiki:

How to revert back to non-overclocked factory stock kernel state:
1. Launch xterminal
2. sudo gainroot (assuming you have rootsh installed)
3. apt-get install --reinstall kernel kernel-flasher
4. reboot
5. Uninstall "Enhanced kernel for power users"

If youre bricking your device do this:

900 MHz is NOT the most stable. It is most stable at stock settings without overclocking. If you're overclocking, each device is capable of reaching a stable frequency unique to its chip. In general, most devices are able to reach around 800 MHz at relatively stable conditions. If stability is a concern, try to keep a maintain a low clock speed.

I found 800-850 completely stable. I'm running the leaked firmware and the "starving" power settings. The Wiki overclocking doc and the Jakiman doc summarize ine options well.

i'm using 900mhz and never got any problems. but I agree ofc with unkno, stock is most stable.

I am running Titan's (27) kernel and I rarely overclock my N900.
I have created 3 widgets on one of my desktops for easy overclocking (queen bee con) if I want to have some more power.
750mhz
900mhz
1ghz

The main thing I use the kernel for is the LOWcpu speed, I like it being at 250mhz (or lower) saves a good amount of battery.

So I only have to follow steps (with step 5 only type: kernel-config load ideal
kernel-config limits 500 1000 f.e.?). So I dont have to run through the whole http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...postcount=3412 tutorial?

Thanks for all the kind answers!

ok so did i do it right? :

Xterminal after kernel-config show :

Current kernel config :
current freq : 850
supp freq : 125 250 500 550 600 700 750 805 850 900 950 1000 1100 1150
min freq : 500
max freq : 850
avoid freq : 125 250
........................

so it runs at 500 850 now?
