Guest omegaone Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Some nice Russians have released a way to overclock the TI processor. Works fine on my Qtek 9100, but note this has the potential to do irreprible damage to your device, so use at your own risk. http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=236173 For my Qtek the following values work: 240Mhz 264Mhz 276Mhz 288Mhz I haven't tried using it at these speeds for long, but good news is if you use it on Wi-Fi you can get 2 way Skype calls working on the device. I tried with EDGE but only got a one way conversation. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jiffk Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 not sure if its a great idea ... ok its not amazingly zippy but it works and overclocking a pda, you cant cool it any more and as swampy points out its just going to kane the battery life. I would be intereseted to see any results you've got from overclocking it how about underclocking it to increase battery life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest omegaone Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 You can underclock it with this app down to a potential 60Mhz. As you guys state, it will of course affect the battery life, and will make the processor run hotter. However, if you need a bit more speed for a short time (like when running Skype) it could be useful. One interesting thing I found, if you turn the device off and on again the processor speed reverts to the old speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thereaperman Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 you can set it up to auto run when the device starts and when it comes out of standby etc, so the clock speed can be made to stick etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spacemonkey Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 A general rule of thumb on these kind of devices is that heat isn't a big issue, normally processor speeds are set to balance battery life against performance. Can't guarantee that this is definitely the case for the wizard of course... Any tips around setting up the autorun for those of us too lazy to figure it out ourselves? you can set it up to auto run when the device starts and when it comes out of standby etc, so the clock speed can be made to stick etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wozbacca Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 i use my vario to stream divx or xvid over wifi or alternatively stream the IT crowd from the channel4 website... I have to say that the performance is a bit lame compared to my old m2000 however the omap overclock does make it watchable. i love the vario, i just hate the 200mhz cpu after using my m2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pondrew Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 i love the vario, i just hate the 200mhz cpu after using my m2000 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey Wozbacca, after overclocking my HTC Charmer (MDA Compact II with the same processor as your Vario) to 250MHz it slightly outperformed the Blue Angel in TCPMP's benchmark. So the OMAP processor must be pretty capable to outperform the 400MHz Intel at just 250MHz... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wozbacca Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 ooh interesting... i might have to look up the script to run the overclock app on bootup and on resume from standby on a similar thought, is it possible to underclock it to be about 100mhz when in standby, and as soon as you turn it on (so to speak) it cranks up to 250mhz... so battery life would be better when its switched off, and still be speedy when powered up.

Guest ultimate_fish Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Doesn't the wizard effectively do this anyway. They certainly don't run at full pelt all the time, the battery would only last about 5 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
