at the risk of offending you, I would not recommend setting your phone to 2ghz..I can assure you nothing great in the long term is going to happen. As for kernels give LordClockan and TalonAce a glance, I'm not 100% sure if they are 2ghz kernels but its a good jumping off point

2ghz will fry your CPU. Maybe not initially buy your phone will definitely fail prematurely. The only reasons other people do it is because they can and they probably have a newer phone for their daily. Even just overclocking a little bit can have a negative impact but not as drastic. If you insist on overclocking I wouldnt exceed 1.4.
With that said there are several Aosp kernels that will allow you to push it to the limit. Just search the dev forum.

Overclocking your cpu will not hurt it unless its running hotter than the cooling system can handle. It will cause lock ups and failure to boot. If you start overvolting it, you WILL cause premature damage to the chip itself. Optimum overclock has always been 10-20% increase for any processor. Personally id rather underclock and undervolt a little, runs cooler and less power drain.
gizmoe is right, 2ghz is a 'just cuz i can' overclock. it wont run stable at that level. its like the 8ghz overclocks you see on the intel processors using LN2 cooling lol.

2ghz is bad.
I ran my inspire at 2ghz and besides the battery practically counting down the phones was heating up and that was maybe 15 minutes. Definitely not a goods idea.

Thank you for the input and info guys.
I could over clock and undervolt on a past captivate. Is there any app you would recommended for the inspire on cm7 to do this?

Setcpu use to be the go to app but many found it to lag after waking the phone. Many have now moved on to daemon controller. From the looks of it you're using CM7 which has the function built in..I believe its menu > settings > CM settings > performance...or something like that...don't check set on boot until you know how much OC your phone can candle. If you like CM, take a look at Absolution by the Collective. They have scripts written for custom profiles for OC and UVing.

I've clocked to 2ghz a few times just to get a crazy quadrant score but that's about it. I usually keep mine somewhere in the 900mhz range with a little lite uv'ing and found that to be plenty.
2ghz can definitely be bad for your cpu..... Like to much bacon can be bad for your arteries.....

does he have a Corsair Hydro Series H100 Cooler strapped to it?

Hahaha not even! Its barely getting warm for me! I LOVE that guy

Could you previously overclock to 1836 without problems? I only ask as that clock for me way back was too much.Wondered if he had cracked the "only for some devices"

I was made aware that it is not 2.2ghz and is actually 1.78ghz with false identification on actual speed, trip has been made aware of this whether he did it intentially or by accident.

so what exactly does this do for the performance of your phone? Is it just apps opening up faster and games a little better?
I understand the performance gains in cpu overclocking for computers in that you get faster encoding for videos, maybe a few more fps in gaming etc but how noticeable is doing an overclock for your phone?
Is it more of a just because you can or is there a real benefit to the user that they can notice?
A 30% overclock on your PC might give you 10-15% better performance but does that equate to similar improvements with a moving to 1.5 or 1.78ghz on your phone?

why stop at 5? carry a bottle of Liquid Nitrogen with you and the sky is the limit !!

Even IF it isn't 2.2 (which surprises me) it is INCREDIBLY snappy and faster than when I was running sebastianFM's 1.728 or whatever and benchmarks are pretty damn high

Eh, not amazed but it's decent I guess... Coming from the Glacier we have a kernel capable of 2.1GHz but I never go above 1.4 anyway. Clock speed isn't everything.

It's a balance there is only so much you can get out of the CPU in anything once it passes the threshold you get less from it more heat less life we are at 1.2 default I would say after 2.0 we won't get much more but a dead battery is 3 hrs I got mine at 1.1 I am good with battery vs power consumption

He just said it...the battery consumption is much better. I don't run any apps/games which need the higher clock rates. So I also underclocked to 1.1 Ghz and I'm very happy with it.

Yes I saw this kernel! This is awesome! But my phone will fry i think

so going from 1.2 down to 1.1 improved battery life?? By how long?

A lot but I have set cpu and can jump to 1.7 easy
You tell me as of now what app needs more then 1.1 1.2 ??? Once phone boots up the phone don't need more then that

[Q] ICS Inquisition - running 1500MHz constant (no scaling back) - risk? bug?

Is this a bug in the rom, or is it safe?
It's constantly running on the OC of 1500MHz.
Usually the cpu is meant to scale down when idle. Not the case here.
Thanks

Are you using setCPU, system tuner, or any user app to OC?

It's OC'd out of the box
I just downloaded and run CPU MASTER FREE and it shows constant 1500MHz reading.
I think I will have to depart from this ROM (even though it's very good). I am assuming it will kill the already week battery

Try another CPU controller like system tuner, setcpu or no frills. Its not the roms fault.

Overclocking implies increasing the CPU clock speed (more cycles per second).
Overclocking helps increase performance my overloading the processor thus, everything runs faster.
This can however cause phone hardware to ware out faster and cause overheating problems also.

our cpu can handle 1.5 ghz of clock speed. by default is set at 1.2.
the overclock is speed up the cpu above the maximum speed (es 1.7, the maximum stable clock we reached IMHO)
obviously high speed means less the battery, more heating and you risk to damage the cpu, because the frequency is above the max. limit
I personally keep it at 1.2ghz for daily use and at 1.5ghz for gaming, you should find you settings...
take a look to the governors, too. they are very important to control your device's response and speed. search for a specific guide to understand better

thanx allot to the both of you!!! helped me out heaps. Ill play around with it

Not too much. 1.2-1.6 is the safe range at most lower 1.7

Don't use an app.Do it naturally with a kernel use a faux v006.

ok can u post a link so i can download??? thanx

Make sure the kernel is compatiable with your Rom and firmware! You can find then either in Android development, or themes and apps. Try development first. Good luck! remember over clocking can be more of a battery drain, just so you are aware of that. Have fun!

Google faux kernels and you will find them o.k.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA

I would not recommend using setCpu it will not give u the best performance.
Use a kernel which is already overclocked and it will be much better. I recommend faux or bricked with that rom.

Overclock value

I try to find more information about overclocking but I didn't find so much information .
I have many questions about overclocking which are :
1-which is the best value for desire s?a combination between daily usage and game....
2-it can harm my phone if I use a higher value?ex.1450....
3-stock value is 1024,and I set to 1200.is good or worse?
4-could someone explain every value from 1024 to 1450 value?

I'm currently using an Interactive governor with MinCPU 368MhZ (Less is laggy) and MaxCPU 1401Mhz...
I don't have any game installed on my phone so I can't tell you how they work...But battery is very good (almost 13hours) with an heavy usage of phone and messaging!
I think the major improvement you can archieve is changing IO Governor to noop -> it's really faster and reactive...

Tanks for your answer,is good to know that overclocking is benefit for phone but overclocking to maximum level it won't damage your phone?I meant that you can damage your cpu if you don't have the right value....
So my question is if someone know which is the right level minimum and maximum for a balance performance between daily usage and game ...

Every chip is different, some will handle oc to the max some won't. I suggest you start slowly and see what you're phone can handle. The phone handles most games and daily use at about 1.2. Don't try to push it too far too soon.

It all depends on what are you using your device for. As long as it is smooth and works for you it is fine.
I personally always had lag while opening the app drawer on Viper whatever kernel and CPU setup I had.
