to be honest i have no idea how 125 is get activated.

yes it is marked as avoid as shown in the pic attachment labeled as screenshot02.

however later on it changes to 125 as shown in next pic labelled as screenshot04 even though avoid 125 shows in both pics.

Looking at your screenshot, it's working as expected. I think you are getting confused.

You have 125 in the avoid frequencies. That means even if you have Min Frequency set to 125, it will never use 125 and only go down to 250. So it overrides what you have set for the min. frequencies. If your "current frequency" was showing 125, then there would be something wrong. That isn't the case according to your screenshots. So all is working fine and your N900 is current using 250 - 850.

Is the starving profile really the one that use the less power? I use that and 900mhz overclocking and my device is stable so I was wondering if it is really what it is...

"...Finally, being the device basically plastic, not perceiving high temperature at surface level is not so relevant, since plastic is not such a good thermal conductor and allows for higher and longer power peaks. Phones with metallic casing have lower max temperature allowed at surface level because of the higher transfer efficiency (the delta being 15C, on top of my head).
..."

Mr. Igor states that phones with metal casing have a LOWER MAX TEMP allowed.

Shouldn't it be the other way around? Shouldn't phones with plastic casing have a LOWER MAX allowed temp?

So plastic is indeed a poorer thermal conductor, so wouldn't you want the plastic one to have the lower max allowed temp? the plastic means there will be a bigger delta, or difference in temp, therefore the sensor or whatever is going to be receiveing news of the high temp later, rather than metal casing, a good thermal conductor, with a smaller delta, or difference in temp, delivering the news of high temps sooner :P

Does anyone see what Im getting at? I must be thinking of something else?

Maybe he's talking in relation to the external temperature of the case?
Maybe you aren't allowed to make the phone get too hot externally. (or it could burn your hands)
So the allowed max temp for the CPU is lower with a phone that has a metal casing possibly.

hi there , ive had my n900 since 19th december , and im quite sateisfied of it . after following the overclock thread a while i decided to oc my n900.
i used the ideal profile 500-850 used it for 3-4 days , the 4th day i was connected to my wifi , and was listening to an internet radio station why prepairing to sleep :S
i fall asleep and forgot the radio ( media player app ) running and streaming ! thnk god my brother woke me up a couple of hours later , when i went to turn of the n900 it was VERY VERY HOT !! i can surley say if i left it 2-3 hours more it would smell bad !
notice that NOTHING ELSE was running .. that was it for me :S done with OC.

dont know ! but the thing is that is was realy realy warm .
too bad thought cause there was a realy notisable difference in speed it opened the messeges gallery scroll through menu etc :S
