Although I do side with the idea of maybe turning min frequency down to about 500Mhz.
but when you have a process running on 100% load and put the N900 in your bag...... yeah... Burning down the house *singing* xD

but everyone decide his own choice.

BUT PLEASE
stop crying when the N900 goes down
and say


stupid phone or something else

All who overclock the cpu!!!

you can calculate the % of overclocking



people arround the world can do jobs with 180% power.
but how long

this wasn't the only reason for the poll, but it was a biggy.
I have nothing against you and your poll: I think you had a good idea! And, if you opened this poll also because of me, it's not a problem at all: why it should be? If this poll will prove I'm wrong I will not run away crying desperately
Simply, I don't like lack of respect by some people here on TMO (I'm not talking about you, obviously...).

Ok, stop talking about me, please, let's go back to the topic

Outrageous? Absurd?
First of all, I was only speculating, I was not "quite sure": I didn't say "I know that everyone overclock", and I didn't say "I am sure that the majority of us is overclocking", I only expressed my thought (I said "I think") and tried to explain it. Instead, you are sure that I was wrong, and that my error was otrageus: on which bases do you think I could have been outrageus? Maybe what I think is absurd as you said (I don't think so, maybe it's simply not true: this poll will show us), but not otrageus. Why are you so angry?

Btw, I didn't say 1.1GHz, but 1GHz: 100MHz of difference are important when talking about a 600MHz processor

/*OFF TOPIC END*/
Yes, it was you. It makes me mad because it is so far from reality. It's like guessing the typical American driver goes 90 mph daily. If you are going to guess at something, at least have glanced at the evidence.

It is clear to anyone who has spent a while reading the Overclocking thread that users overclocking at more than 1 gHz are relatively rare. Most of those who do are happy, but that is not the issue.

A poll is the best way to counter your off-the-planet assertion.

Have never overclocked my N900. On a two year contract, first year ends at the end of January. I figure I will overclock then and have a brand new feeling phone for the 2nd year

Yes, the warranty issue stops many people from overclocking, I'm sure. I personally only got a one-week warranty from Nokia so it wasn't a factor for me.

I installed powerkernel for an app (I don't remember which, maybe mobilehotspot) and I tried it, then Fcamera came which was incompatible and I returned to stock. I've never felt the need to bother again to install the powerkernel now that it is compatible. Maybe when I start MyPainting again...

I don't use omap kernel for maybe 1 month, running everyday kernel-power at 950.
If I put my device to charge, use WiFi to download something, and for
example watch a movie/play something it gets up to 58°C.
It's really, really hot, but also because of my country's temp these times.
Need to see how it is when it's winter... probably not much difference,
as the lowest climate temp I could get here is 15°C ( what for me is alreay freezing ).

As long as there has been no reports of burned device.. im not gonna clock my device down again. ive been running 900-950 since OCing became possible with kernel power. atm i run starving profile with limits 500 950. works great. no errors for many months.
