Over clocked N7

Anyone else see this article? Not surprising its brutally fast. What is surprising is the usable battery life....

Whoa! How cool is that???

On xda there are many threads on it. We've found 1600 with the GPU just under 500 to be the most efficient.

Let me add [KERNEL][GPL][Linaro][OC 1.624GHz][UV][GPU+][ZRAM][SIO+V(R)] 2012-08-03 motley 1.0.12 - xda-developers

I like Motley's builds because he finds the balance between power and heat. Reducing heat usually means increasing battery also since work = heat and work = battery usage. Morfic with his "trinity" kernel is good as well but my Nexus runs a bit warm on it. I'm told that Faux's kernel is good also but so far Motley is the one I'm using.

Overclocking is a bit new on the Nexus as we just got it but sticking with one of the three above should be safe. It seems to be stable at strangely high clock speeds. Someone went over 2000 (stock is 1300 by the way). I've seen it said that Asus under-clocked the chips with a few different theories as to why. It seems to be true.

Even at the stock 1300 this thing flies. I guess I will wait until it seems like the n7 is lagging behind or unable to run certain apps before I over clock it. It is tempting though.. :-D

It's extremely tempting to do it lol.

I have my Nexus 7 overclocked to 1.6GHz with the Trinity kernel. Honestly battery life and performance are great either way.
