Overclocking Noob! HELP!

[Scooter217]

I am currently running Simply Stunning 4.7 Running ChevyNo1 Kernal 7-Slot ULV 1.0ghz. I downloaded Overclock Widget from the Market.

My first question is if I am running that kernal is it necessary to have the Overclock Widget?

My second question is if I use the Overclock widget what would be a good setting for a minimum and maximum screen off and screen on setting? I am 100% new to any type of overclocking so be gentle.....

I'm pretty sure that Chevy's kernels don't OC on their own, but I've never used OC widget (use SetCPU, myself). I'm going to assume that the max/min settings are for clock speeds, and if that's the case I'd put the min at the lowest (250m, I believe) and the max at 800m for starters and see how she works for you.

i think only Pete's roms overclock the processor automatically. im using chevy's rom and have setcpu and i set my standard setting at 250-1200. though chevy's rom runs great even at 550 so not sure what is better for you. setcpu is pretty much the standard app when it comes to overclocking
