Officially Overclocked - Thunderbolt General

Snagged Drod's 1.5gz kernel from ROM Manager and pulled a 2495 on quadrant and 53mflops on Linpack :]

I saw this as well (although I'll probably stick with adryn's kernel for now). The future is certainly looking bright for the tbolt.

It's nice. It doesn't have the interactive/smartass governors so I'm definitely sticking with Adrynalyne's kernel. The conservative kernel is just too slow to ramp up (probably due to the huge number of slots) and I'd be worried that ondemand would keep it running at full speed too much and drain my battery.

im not exactly concerned about battery life, ill take the kickass performance thank you very much. no seriously, thank you very much drod!

If your so worried about battery. Use Setcpu profiles with overcook kernal.

Which rom provides the most performance?

I'm currently running ec10 PnP with the green steel theme. I noticed my quadrant score stayed about the same as it was on stock. Is there a rom that provides better performance without a huge loss in functionality?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
I didn't really see any difference in performance between ROM's myself. It wasn't untill I went to the Voodoo Kernels that I saw my Lindpack scores and quadrant scores increase. Im running the PnP with nemisses OTB kernel. Im getting about 16 on lindpack and between 1400 and 1500 on quad.
Also quad scores and not completely reliable so I rely mostly on lindpack for benchmarks.
Anywho, thats my 2 cents. Hope this helps
I've seen a huge difference between ROMs. You crazy homey g.
LOL, I guess I should have added that I haven't tried the AOSP or the MIUI. My main thing was I saw the most difference when I went from the Stock kernel to the Voodoo Kernels. But thats just me. I guess its differenct for everybody depending on what there trying to get out of your phone. For me it has been battery life without sacrificing performance.
And yeah, I am a little nuts, but thats just me, LOL
Thanks for the input. I will search around and see what I can dig up. About to flash superfrakenclean to see what it does

Any of the AOSP (miui, cm6) stuff will be "faster" than the touchwiz(sfc, pnp) stuff. It just comes down to your personal preferences but there is a definite speed difference between roms just as there is between voodoo and non voodoo. Using an overclocked kernel will also speed you up. Try em out see what you like. the real performance lies in how you use it and that it works for you

I am also wondering the same as the OP. Currently I am running sFc 2.9.2 with the OTB kernel and undervolting. I am looking for better battery performance with stock speeds.

You guys that are running sfc and otb kernel, did you have any issues with missed calls? I was having difficulty so flashed back to sfc with a tw kernel...no issues so far but battery life and performance are not as good.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
I haven't had the sfc on my phone but have been running OTB for a while and haven't had any issues with missing calls. Also have OTB on my wifes phone as well and she hadn't had any issues either.

You have to have a kernel that allows overclocking.

Are you using a custom kernel??
If you are use pimp my cpu to oc
G2X
Also, in case you didnt know.. Kernels may state 1.5Ghz and such but that doesnt mean YOUR phone will be able to go that high. Every device is different so every device's has a different max frequency.
Set CPU currently doesn't work with out kernels. You must install one of the OC/UV kernels from the development section and use the pimp my cpu app to overclock
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Ok, that makes sense I'm using the EB 1.04F trinity kernel +48 and was using pimp my cpu and I can overclock just fine there but I wanted to try out setcpu out.
I have it over clocked @ 1.2 -50 in all frequencies and scheduler is the default one. Force Min Frequency is checked as well.
Thanks

On a side note, my g2x has been highly unstable after leaving it sit while using pimp my cpu. However, I created a .txt file with clock frequencies and I was able to use setcpu with little to no side effects. But after all, what is ocing even good for? Benchmarks... Mt4g, n1, g1, mt3g, hd2. Tried ocing on all of them and didn't see a noticeable day to day difference compared to stock frequency...

On the mt4g I was able to play dungeon defenders OCed at 1.5 without much lag. Without it the game was almost unplayable because it would lag like crazy when the graphics got too intense. But on the downside it sucked my battery dry within hours

Post your Overclocks!

I openly consider the opinions of those who are for or against overclocking, I have heard both sides of the argument regarding its usefulness. Personally, I'm not fully decided. I respectfully ask we keep the thread on topic- posting your overclocks!
Here is mine with no noticeable heat or stability issues.
1.252 GHz
2791 Quadrant score
Humble 4.22
Imoseyon Kernel 3.10
Tegrak Overclock
I have heard people getting 1.4 GHz with the Charge, although I have heard of that some can't get above 1.2 GHz stable.
1.3 ghz Performance

Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium
I go the opposite route. Rather than overclocking, I'm undervolting. It really helps battery life and doesn't affect your performance. I'm running stock clocks with -30mV across the board using Tegrak with the interactiveX governor on EP4 at the moment. Using StabilityTest from the Market in scaling mode to test stability. Going to try to drop the voltages down a bit more soon, as I've been fully stable for almost a week on these.

I actually find Quadrant useful for verifying lagfix and verifying over or under clocks.
One thing that overclocking allowed for was smoothing out 480p Flash video in the Browser that was choppy before.
Now that you guys vented your overclocking and Quadrant hate, back to the posting your overclocks!
*EDIT* Forgot to ask, does anybody know if there is an appreciable difference in battery life when overclocking at stock voltage? Theoretically, battery life should be the same no matter the clock speeds if the voltage is constant.

Overclocking without a kernel that supports undervolting probably scales the voltage up appropriately.

If you look at the overclock app it actually runs on medium volt. ..

In other words if you set it at 1275 volts it's 1275 medium voltage.. Not 1275 standard volts... get it..

That is not true. Transistors have different power dissipation when they are switching versus when they are not. The faster you clock them the higher the power dissipation even when the voltage to them is the same.
I can't believe how long it took for someone point out the DBZ reference on a message board filled with nerds.

Better battery life?

Hey, I have been playing around with some rom to find the best battery life and recently I wonder if underclocking my CPU to 1000 MHz and below does extend nexus s battery life?
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
It does, but it also makes the OS noticeably less smooth and can often take a little longer to get things done. 1000MHz is a good compromise. However, TEUV for example defaults at 880Mhz with an overclocked GPU (220MHz over 200MHz) which is particularly smooth if your phone can handle it and saves an extra little chunk of battery through undervolting. I would go that route rather than 800MHz/200MHz GPU.
Is there any posibl

Is there any possible way to overclock gpu on 2.3.5 rom?
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
Any kernel with LiveOC. Matr1x 11.5 i believe was the latest for GB. You might find a link somewhere for Trinity TEUV for GB too. Unsure of others, wasn't on GB for very long myself.

What are you overclocked to?

I guess you can consider this thread part survey and part for my knowledge so I know how far I can push this phone. I am at 1728MHz max with the interactive governor and cfq scheduler. Not sure if I'm going to do any undervolting, I can get through the day with about 40% remaining, and I have profiles set up for low battery and such. I am running CM10 with the 747 (I think that's what its called..) kernel and can push it to 2.1GHz. Is it stable at that high of a clockspeed? I can assume it turns your pretty Galaxy S3 into a convenient portable stove
By the way, sorry if this is the wrong section.

It really depends on your phone, I had mine at 2100 and it was stable. However it can very I had,a, Droid charge that ran the 1440 no problem, had it replaced and the new one could go above 1300 without hot boots. Some phones just hold up better

Stock. I've had it clocked to 1.9. But can't tell a difference with real day to day function except for worse battery drain and phone hotter.
Sent from a SYNERGIZED GalaxySIII
I have run the KT747 AOSP kernel at 2.1 ghz for a day or more and had no noticeable increase in heat, or decrease in battery life. (lulzactive or smartass v2 with either cfq or sio scheduler, no voltage changes in KT tweaker) I also saw very little or no gain in real world performance increase, and the benchmarking apps seemed to back that up. Typically run mine at 1.809 currently. Every phone cpu is different in terms of top speed, and voltage settings. Best thing to do, is to test them and see what works best for you. These 2 links, courtesy of the Ktoonez thread, provide some great info on kernel governor and scheduler settings. Given the number of options in KT Tweaker, these helped me a great deal in terms of making changes.

I've tried 1998MHz and as you said, it didn't yield much. I think I screwed something up, because now oc settings refuse to stick (resets itself to 1512) and short/long benches are not as great.
