Generally 750 is safe, but every frequency you will go higher can reduce your CPU lifespan drastically. The SoC found in the N900 is meant to run at 500mhz, Nokia already overclocked it to 600mhz.

So my advise is to leave it at 600mhz, *unless* you really need more cycles for eg gaming. For general use it isn't recommended, of course you can decide yourself to run fulltime on higher frequency and some here also do that, so I don't say it is dangerous but 1 thing is sure, higher frequencies can/will decrease the lifespan of the cpu.

only when i do hard gaming or such stuff i would use 800MHz.
or else leaving it at
min-250
max-550
ok?not even 600.....

BTW why is my settings icon taking 3 taps to open???

Just press once and wait, also make sure you press the button right; I caught myself "miss"pressing icons sometimes and nothing happens. Also settings app sometimes have to load for 1-3 seconds

@marmistrz: Well, you get the idea

This is my first deb package, be careful. It installs and works perfectly on my phone, so enjoy but be warned

This package was based on marmistrz's script where he noted this:


So I'd like to know if the patched QCPUFreq works ok with KP51 and later. Thanks!

Wasn't that problem independant from frequency? I used to have trouble with SR on one of my machines, but after KP50 it never gave me any trouble again. Than again, I never OC above 900 anyway.
