The overclock thread/poll is too big and not objective.

Please post here tests, results and new kernels/versions and news.

Please be brief/succinct and DO NOT ASK TOO MUCH OR GO OFF-TOPIC.

Also, please try to post realistic uses too (using normal phone, some browsing and so on... not only something like playin' ps games for 3h or benchmark-like stuff, its obvious it'll be faster...) and battery life comparisons.

Thanks.

I've had 900Mhz/stock kernel now for ~4 days. Every thing runs smooth, battery life better than i expected, seems to be very stable. I use my n900 for playing, surfing, email, etc. no sudden reboots or crashes. Overall im glad i oc'd it!

I flashed mine with 800mhz and everything was fine. I decided to go back to stock until PR1.2 is released in case anything unpleasant happens.

im using 930 mhz for 3 days now and got no major problems except that my battery drains faster because i frequently browse. also I notice that my phone is much warmer than before when using the cpu for 100% however when idle phone stays much longer than before.

overall the performance is great i even compare this phone with my friend who has got a stock cpu speed and this phone is way much faster than his. his phone suddenly feels obsolete lol

I overclocked my n900 to 800 and 900 MHz. I noticed a slight increase in speed, but nothing amazing - flash videos don't appear to be any faster. BBC IPlayer is still unusable.

I guess I am patient with web browsing, and the stock speed "slowness" I guess I have become used to and happy with.

Possibly down to usage case.

I flashed mine from UK > Global firmware. Then applied the 12/900 firmware overclock and there is a noticebale difference in speed.

For those that say no difference, reflash your device.

Perhaps you can double-check if it was the battery that gets warm.

Been running 1Ghz for a few days now via Lehto's kernel.
(Was initially using 125-1000/480. Now I'm running 125-1000/500dsp)

Have done all the usual stuff I do on my phone since:
- Watch at least few hours of xvid avi (up to 45mins in single session)
- Watch youtube videos over wifi via MicroB. (about an hour straight)
- Browse the web over many hours over Wifi and 3G.
- Making and receiving calls. Talking up to 20mins at a time.
- Angry Birds for up to an hour at a time.
- DrNokSnes for about 15minutes at a time.

Not noticing any abnormalities yet. Battery life is normal also.

I did overclock it up to 1.2Ghz via Titan's kernel.
It locked up straight away and had to reboot. lol

I was able to get it running seemingly without issues at 1.1Ghz.
But only tested it for an hour or so before going back to 1Ghz. (safer. lol)

First OC'ed to 800Mhrz by flashing with a new kernel.

Everything worked perfectly.

Then switched to Titans enhanced kernel, and raised it to 850Mhrz.

Everything still fine.

I was running my N900 with 125/900 for 3 days and I had no issues.
Battery life was also great.
Now I'm testing Titan's kernel with 900 Mhz and the battery lifetime is a good piece less.
But the device did not get warm or freezed at all.
