As some of you might know, the HTC Desire S overclocks very well.
I've done alot of research, and I've found no difference between the MSM8255 chipset our Desire S runs on, and the higher clocked MSM8255T (which runs at 1.4-1.5GHz).
I've created this topic to gather some information on what method you use to over/underclock (built-in, custom, app etc), how high you've clocked your device, what governor you're using, and what temperature you're at.
Right now my Desire S runs at 1.4GHz, incredibly stable, ive stress tested for hours (so far) without any errors, maxing at bout 36,5c temp.
My current method is SetCPU, using 245-1401 interactive scaling.
Please post your findings / preferences / device settings.
I never overclocked my Desire S. Ok sometimes he can be slow, but I don't like overclocking a CPU of a smartphone... Maybe it's because I'm scared to blow him up or something, dunno. I just leave it like it was, in my eyes, the best thing you can do
I'm using OC/UV Beater2 which came in Endymion ROM. My DS is overclocked to 1,2 Ghz and it is very stable, never freezes
But I have a question, what is default undervolt settings? Because I think when I set for example -25 undervolt settings, that will come default setting after a while..
So I dont know what is default voltage... So if someone could tell what is though 122Mhz voltage, I would be happy!
1ghz ondemand. Sometimes 245/768mhz and in games 1.2ghz

Yeah, I've done some research too, and cannot find any differences about the 8255T vs 8255.
Ours are highly capable of going to 1.8Ghz stable.
What are the key differences?

Same CPU 'issue' with the Arc and Arc S ->
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396071
That pretty much sums it up, why the Desire S (some - mine?) overclocks so well..
Same thing they do with desktop CPUs.
Like my old C2D E6600 2.4GHz OCs to 3.4GHz without adding volts and running only on air cooling, 48c after 10-12hrs of stress testing with SLI nvidia cards in the case.
All in all, the MSM8255 and MSM8255T could easily be the exact same chipset/CPU, just at different speeds, some tested more extensively than others.
Has anyone tried running speeds above 1.5GHz+ successfully? 1.5GHz should also be doable, as the HTC Flyer has the MSM8255T and runs at 1.5GHz.

Ah!
Many thanks for that mate!
Been looking and couldn't find much info too!
Yeah, i guess the T stands for being tested more.
My Desire OC's very well. I can go to 1.8Ghz stable for very long.
(I don't usually OC though.)
I tried 2.0ghz too for about 10 minutes with no issues. but I quickly went back to 1ghz incase I had any issues.

My CPU clock is as in my siggy. I don't undervolt though.
I have overclocked my phone to 1.5GHz almost all time and I do not see any problem, it's very fast and snappy. I use Sense roms, CM7 and ICS without freezes or something like that. Battery life is nice for me, 1 or 2 days of use.
I've got mine oc at 1.2ghz and uv .75 on everything using ocuv and has been stable for weeks now with good battery life.

Hi there,
Yes I use setcpu. Tiamat kernel is Undervolted by default which is good.
I'm my experience, I'm getting much better battery life with Tiamat kernel.
Are you on the nightly build or the stable version? I heard a few issues with tiamat on nightly builds, but not too sure!
Also a small note; undervolting doesn't help massively with battery life... the battery gain is minimal. On sense based ROMs, I UV by about 125V and it doesn't make a HUGE difference.
I think tiamat has really good battery llife as it has been exclusively optimised for our 8255 CPU by the brialliant Devs
Hope this has been some help to you!

I'm on latest nighly, which doesn't work with tiamat 1.1.5 (no sound). Nightly fixed some bugs which were crucial for me, so no way going back to stable.
Reason i'm asking: on lowveld's hyperions i got 8-9mA consumption while idle, on CM i'm always at 10-15. The min freq on both is 245mHz, which was suggested as lowest stable so the next difference i thought could be the undervolting... From battery stats i see that phone was not awake...

What bug fixes did the nightlies bring? Please share!
Hmmm... I guess you could just wait for CM 7.2, I think its coming very soon with the bug fixes, so I guess you could go back to stable from there, and use Tiamat.
My lowest CPU clockspeed is 184Mhz on CM (122Mhz on Endymion)
Its very stable for me. No freezes, etc
I use smartass2, so it will throttle up the speed in sleep if 184mhz is too low. When it has many tasks to load etc.
Not to sure how to Manually UV with CM, (as OC beater doesn't work - FC on me)
But on Endymion, OC beater app does the job.

Side note: on sense, i could OC easily to 1.5ghz, possbily more! And it was very stable.
But now with CM7, i OCed to 1.5ghz and it froze... I tried several times too ..
So does software depend on how much the CPU can clock?

Why not just not overclock? Also, the kernel that comes in Inspired Ace isn't overclockable.
There are many battery saving options! If you have the Leedroid kernel, in setcpu you have the option of running your proccesor at Powersave, performance,smartass and so on...this is also in a few other kernels but I am not sure which ones at the moment.
And if you are really hyped up on saving battery, shutoff haptic feedback, turn of data when you are not using it, lower screen brightness, Use a task killer to kill stray apps(if you were playing angry birds kill it afterwards).
These are a few things you can do that will increase your battery life significantly...
With an overclock capable kernel, you can underclock. I run mine at 921 MHz and don't notice any performance hit. I've tweaked the undervolt to as low as I can get away with. I get pretty awesome battery life that way.
Before you ask, I'm using a kernel I compiled myself from HTC's latest linux source for the Inspire. It's essentially stock with only the addition of the frequency table and hooks for OC/UV.

This.
Simply underclocking will solve your problems. I prefer to run @1.4 Ghz. I have everything optimized for speed & efficiency and still don't lose in battery performance.
Running CM7 with LordMod UE 2.6 kernel and smartass CPU governor, I can set the max speed to 768mhz with very little performance hit noticed. I might just keep it that way, haven't decided yet. Scrolling is still smooth, Angry Birds is still smooth. The cool thing about running max 768mhz with the pinky undervolt script is the CPU voltage never goes above 900mv.
I'm running CM7 with nightly 91 and on my Vibrant, they made a kernel that was stock uv no oc and u could use it all day, literally....

This post has been edited because I added Mandrobench results because it utilization of both cores. Mandrobench scores were identical for both kernels. Running Mandrobench at 1500 more than once tended to overheat my phone and cause reboots and other signs of instability.
One thing is clear, if you run either Faux or Trinity kernel you must OC at least to 1100 or you take a huge hit on performance.
I ran 4 different benchmarks on every configuration of CM 10 times with the Faux and Trinity kernels. I normalized the results so that each benchmark was evenly weighted and so the numbers are better understood they were normalized so that CM with its own kernel scores 100. All other numbers are relative to that. The 4 benchmarks were Quadrant, Smartbench 2011, Linpack, and Mandrobench. The results are a bit surprising, I am attaching the spreadsheet so that anyone can check my methodology.
CM w/CM kernel 1000 MHz score 100
CM w/Faux kernel 1000 MHz score 77
CM w/Faux kernel 1100 MHz score 104
CM w/Faux kernel 1200 MHz score 114
CM w/Faux kernel 1300 MHz score 123
CM w/Faux kernel 1500 MHz score 138
CM w/Trinity kernel 1000 MHz score 85
CM w/Trinity kernel 1100 MHz score 116
CM w/Trinity kernel 1200 MHz score 124
CM w/Trinity kernel 1400 MHz score 140
CM w/Trinity kernel 1500 MHz score 147
Test for each configuration were started following a reboot with a battery charged over 60%. They were run sequentially the same way for each configuration. Each number above was the result of the averaging a total of 30 benchmarks.
Interesting note, the first couple Quadrant scores on each run were generally lower than the rest, result of caching by the phone perhaps? On certain configurations the Smartbench results fluctuated wildly producing unexpectedly low scores. Not sure what the reason for this fluctuation but it is repeatable, at least on my phone, but only on certain configurations.
This took a long time, I am sharing it because I found the results unexpected and that they might be useful to somebody. Not everyone is dumb enough to sit and run benchmarks all day. Would be interesting to know how close the numbers are ran on another phone. I am intentionally only providing the numbers and my methodology, I will leave it to someone smarter to explain them.
Add Mandrobench to the list... only app that utilizes TWO cores for its benchmarking (free too). Then we'll talk.

I agree, Mandrobench should have been included, I didn't originally because it has disappeared from the market. I have searched my back-ups and found the apk, so I will incorporated them into the experiment later today. It is my understanding that most current apps do not take advantage of the dual core, therefore the results from benchmarks that are not optimized for dual-core have significance.

Both kernels were ext4, made much easier to switch back and forth by the new version of clockwork.
Both of these are file systems and ext4 is newer and theoretically faster, probably more so on a computer where there are more read/writes to disc. I don't think any of these benchmarks test for this. Someone else may correct this as I don't know a lot about phones, I am a computer guy, and an out of date one at that.

Running consecutive benchmarks can kill a battery in 2 hours.
Battery life is a subjective, I haven't thought of a way to objectively test it. I feel I get the best battery life with CM with its own kernel or Eaglesblood Froyo. Bionix appears to eat batteries.
After seeing these results, I plan to run the Trinity UV11 kernel for awhile and see to see how good the battery life is. The performance increase appears significant for only OC to 1100 and I like the idea of getting the advantages of a little OC/UV without having to run Pimp my CPU.
I have gotten a clear increase (hours more idle time) by simply turning off 4G and only toggling it on when I need it. I use Pandora a lot and it ironically runs better at 2G when I am bicycling (less drops interruptions in the streaming as I move around).

Faux's newest kernel is ~1.5 correct?
He's probably using the Trinity battery saving kernel clocked at 1.1 and undervolted.
I use the Trinity 1.1GHz kernel and undervolt to -200mV (for the lower ones, leave the top three at stock for stability reasons) and I score around 6100 in Antutu.

It's a significant difference. I don't have any data to back it up. But I've accidentally left it on the max after a benchmark and it would be in a free fall. Especially when playing a 3D game like MC3

I've tried using both Kernels as well as stock. Granted they both seem to run better then stock, I'm currently on Trinity with Standard Voltage, because the Under voltage versions of both Faux and trinity seemed to freeze on reboots for whatever reason. They both appear to run about the same set at 1100 which is what I've set to.

My chip could only use faux's OC 1.2ghz, using the kernel OC 1.5 would cause my phone to boot loop. I could go stable @ faux OC 1.2 with minimum UV, getting qudrant score of atleast 3000 - 3500. Another kernel that i tried is MOrfic's, I can go stable up to 1.4 Ghz/minimum UV- quadrant of atleast 4000-4300. I believe i have what they say as the "weak chip" though running OC @ 1.4 ghz doesn't make it look weak. Thanks to the great DevS!

I honestly don't see the benefits except lower battery life and a warmer device, I doubt you'll notice the speed difference past like 1GHz. All of the higher freqs seem pretty much the same and aren't really worth the bother with, use a governor that accesses higher freqs quicker and you won't be needing high freqs.

What governor would you suggest??? also, i know that when using you phone and maybe even playing games i wouldn't see much of a difference between the stock 1.2 Ghz vs 1.5 or 1.9Ghz but it's all about the bragging rights, lol. I like to go to my geeky friends and slappin’ a higher clock frequency than they have on their poor devices or silly I Phones. Also I have to tell you from my tests I do see Mike1986’s latest 3.6.7/4.1.7 Rom using much less battery life than stock Rom. I have noticed about a 10% improvement, maybe even more.
Also i do see a big improvement in Benchmarks. When i was using stock 1.2Ghz setting i was benchmarking much lower than the 1,5Ghz i am at now.
Thanks again for the input.
The benefit of custom ROMS and kernels, is that they are optimized to run well. Unless the chef sucks, most big name ROMS are optimized and more efficient.
I was running 1.2ghz for a while and whenever I'm playing Snes roms it would FC. After bumping it up to 1.72ghz it never did it again. Although 1.72ghz may be overkill for what I use my phone for but everything seems to be running extremely smooth.

What governor would you suggest??? also, i know that when using you phone and maybe even playing games i wouldn't see much of a difference between the stock 1.2 Ghz vs 1.5 or 1.9Ghz but it's all about the bragging rights, lol. I like to go to my geeky friends and slappin’ a higher clock frequency than they have on their poor devices or silly I Phones. Also I have to tell you from my tests I do see Mike1986’s latest 3.6.7/4.1.7 Rom using much less battery life than stock Rom. I have noticed about a 10% improvement, maybe even more.
Also i do see a big improvement in Benchmarks. When i was using stock 1.2Ghz setting i was benchmarking much lower than the 1,5Ghz i am at now.
Thanks again for the input.

I use conservative(810/192), super charger v6, ultra smooth rosie on 4.1.6. I haven't used benches, but they'll be low on this ROM since I'm assuming it's based on the Sense 3.5 leak for sensation.

What Kernel is this? Can you provide a LINK?? thanks.
Thanks again to all for the imput.
My battery overheats and gets up to 56C!!
Probably because i wiped the battery stats because after i did that it always warms up so much. My battery also drains very fast (after 30 minutes of playing 40% are gone).. Is there a way to fix this problem?
What ROM, firmware, kernel? Are you overclocked?
IMO your battery usage when playing games sounds normal enough to me.
I second what the above poster has said. Are you over locked? Also, I doubt wiping battery stats would make your phone run physically warmer than usual...
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z715e using xda premium
I run ARHD 4.1.13
Kernel 2.6.35.13
I downloaded no-frills to set my cpu at 1.51 ghz, but then i uninstalled it and still the same..

Haha 1.51ghz ?? The CPU runs at 1.5ghz by default lol (if u have XE ROM) there isnt no point overclocking by 0.01 ghz
Anyway, Update your ROM ARGD is on 6.6.2 now.. that might improve things.
Also, When playing games the phone does get hot, Mine does it too its normal. Even more so if you have a case covering up the back too !
dont panic you'll be fine, and if by any chance your phone catches fire and burns you.... You can sue HTC and get the newest release for life
Lol thanks for helping.. I can't wait for my phone to catch on fire now
and for some reason my cpu is 1.2 ghz by default. I know phones usually get hot while playing games but 56C is too much isn't it?
well under hardware information it will say 1.2ghz but the actual processor is a 1.5ghz, But it has been downclocked to 1.2 by HTC so they could release the XE version as a 'better, improved version' (which is bull****, Its the same phone)
I only mentioned the fire part cause it was in the news last week lol
i ran cpu benchmark it showed 1188 mhz..
