Long-term effects of overclocking. [continued from CM9 thread]

Re: Long-term effects of overclocking. [continued from CM9 thread

The processor on my bricked OV is a BEAST!!! Unfortunately it is perma-bricked -_- It would oc up to the limit without problems.
When I get my optimus S replacement, I'm gonna take apart the V and look at the mobo......maybe I can desolder it and replace the one on the S if it's a bad one. I'm actually thinking about just taking the S mobo and sticking it in the V's case and then flash V firmware on it. I don't like button switch Then I'll sell the OV mobo with OS case on ebay for parts.
OR I could use the bricked V's digitizers in my OM and make myself a custom kernel so ICS will work on it.....that wold be fun.......

Perhaps my Opti S was roasted within that week...and this summer weather only made it worse. Oh, well. If I could afford it, I would get the Opti V or T (Cricket doesn't have the Opti C anymore, according to their website).

As is, it is an expensive proposition, since I had been considering getting my lil' godsister an Opti V before she goes outta the country to teach...but there is no way I could round up the funds to do that, much less get myself one! Lol!!

The crappy part is that there's no way to know how far you can take a phone via overclocking.

The Optimus T is a GSM phone for T-Mobile and I'm pretty sure there's not much dev support, T-Mobile has way better phones to buy, it would never work on VM's/Sprint's network. The Optimus C has very little dev support and most of any dev support comes from the Optimus M. Most of the Optimus M's dev support comes from me, ABCindicate, and BobZhome, notice that the only one who builds from source (BobZ) owns an Optimus V, the other 2 are just porting ROMs. Get an Optimus V or S, M and C doesn't have ICS (yet).

As far as oc, a lot of the OMs and OCs have bad processors that like to reboot the phone a lot, even when running the default processor speeds...

If you can run it at a certain speed for several hours while stress testing it, it shouldnt degrade over time. If its slightly unstable, it may get a little damaged over a long time period. I've experienced this on several desktop cpu's where they would be stable OC'd for about 2hrs max under stress testing, and after about 2 years I couldnt run them faster than stock speeds. Thoroughly test for a max OC if you want it to last.

That is a catch 22.
While stress testing, you could be doing the very damage you are trying to make sure you don't cause.

I've gotten to the point where I'm only stable at 480mhz/600mhz. My phone still runs fine, it doesn't really bother me. Sometimes I'll go somewhere in the 700's when doing more heavy multitasking, like using Navigation and Spotify. It usually doesn't crash on the way of where I'm going, but if I leave it in the 700's, I experience reboots.

My advice: if you want to over clock, stay in the 700's to be safe.

Re: Long-term effects of overclocking. [continued from CM9 thread

im insanely stable at 600 for some reasons OC's dont stick on my v

Speaking of stability on low speeds... I just noticed that on JellyBean, I'm set at 806/480 powersave, so I've been running at 480 for over a week, and its insanely stable as well... I remember setting it to powersave when my phone was dying about a week or two ago, but then I guess I forgot to change it back to savagedzen after I charged it.

I'm fine at 806 interactive on Bobs ICS and that's really smooth. The only UI glitches are when I haven't touched the phone in a bit and the processor is slow and it will glitch when entering the app drawer while the processor revs up. I don't get reboots until I hit 844 really.
