Maximum OC Limit for ZTE Blade

[Guest Priyansh]

Hey all, this may have been discussed earlier, but I just want to know at how much freq do you use your blade at most times. I use CM NB165 and OC at 729 MHz. Actually thats the maximum it can withstand. More then that, it just hangs while running HD Games and I have to restart.

Waiting for a good poll result. :rolleyes: thanxx all

Thought it just rebooted at 800mhz?

[Guest De@n]

Which governor is everyone using? I'm using ondemand.

It's highly likely but it will depend on your CPU. It could reboot at 650 if your particular CPU is especially intolerant of overclocking.

[Guest Priyansh]

@ hecatae, peter0118 : doesn't your device reboot as soon as you OC it to 800...?? mine does at any frequency above 748 MHz.. also at 748, when I launch any game, it hangs. so one and the same thing at any freq above 729 MHz... :P

I am using ondemand.. :rolleyes:

That's true. When I had CM7 installed the max clock of my blade was at 768Mhz with no problems. A friend's blade had problems over 691Mhz with the same governor (ondemand).

Now my device is flying at stock clock (thanks to GSF)...

trouble with this poll is alot of users will not keep the OC at the same all the time.

for example when i'm playing an intensive game (eg NOVA2) i OC my blade as much as possible (768mhz) but when i'm playing average games or doing web surfing etc i might overclock it less or even leave it at stock 604mhz.

also when doing pretty much nothing but when i want the screen on i.e reading i will often underclock to 480mhz.

i guess what i'm saying is... i didn't know which option to pick :P as to be honest the freq i most use is 122-320mhz which is what it ios clocked to when in my pocket :lol:

but as i'm guessing you more meant what is my max OC freq. i put 768 :)

[Guest Maxsas360]

I use 652. Gives a fair amount of performance and does not really affect battery

lol.. yeahh thats what I meant.. sorry didn't mention it.. :P... btw. on which ROM were you able to run NOVA2.. M using CM NB165 with max 729MHz freq, and it just force closes as soon as it starts.

[Guest Phoenix Silver]

I use last cm7

frequency 710 mhz

on demand

But it's very processor of your blade dependent

My old blade was 691 mhz

[Guest t0mm13b]

The overclocking is dependant on what governor being used - I use ondemand...which IMHO is the safest to use and try get to the overclocking speed gently and easy.

Using other governors and experimenting with the overclocking speed could cause the handset to reboot so watch out for that - 'smartass' is an iffy one - a bit of a smart ass really :lol: (cannot remember if its still in the latest cm kernel..) There was another one that got dropped....not sure

'nuf said :D

CM7 (n161+):

I get 748MHz stable. But when i use my Jellycase i had to go back to 729MHz. If not i get reboots.

That's a reproduceable situation. I think this is why the phone gets a little bit hotter in the jellycase.

It's the same on the PC, heat is not good if you want to clock ;)

With me is 748Mhz , at 768Mhz it only lasts a few seconds, then it freezes.

Mine will eventually reboot at 806mhz... not immediately. Give it half an hour or so... Or being resource heavy it could reboot quickly. 748mhz will act up too eventually, but will last a long time before doing so. 729mhz with Interactive is my key. It seems to never crash and has been stable regardless of what I do.

[Guest HMZX]

Mines the highest so far - 787, completely stable!

Yaaaay!!!!

What governor are you using?

What's the battery like on it?

Amazing that the CPU did not give up the ghost at that speed... wow!

[Guest Taptap1]

With governer at performance maybe you have to go down one at clock speed, and have a bigger battery consumption, but the speed is still significantly higher.

yeah i know! I just use on demand. the battery is actually amazing, considering the amount overclocked, it easily lasts me at least a day, depending on usage, but i do game a bit and the usual web browsing.

[Guest Priyansh]

Now I am running CM NB165 at a stable 748 MHz interactive :D can feel the difference in performance :D:D

[Guest OneB1t]

is there some way to increase voltage on procesor because LG Optimus One have same procesor running no problem at 806Mhz i cant get my blade to more that 710 :-(

runs on any 2.3 rom for me (either CM7 nightlies, GSF, or the newer more vanilla 2.3 roms). tho it only runs fast enough to play properly on CM7 overclocked :P

i did a thread on how to get it work when the game came out. search for it. think it was called instructions to get NOVA 2 working or something like that

[Guest ThermalDroid]

806MHz on CM161+ and stable, not as fast as my atrix but impressive for a cheapy phone.

thanks alot man, but both NOVA n NOVA2 doesn't work on my blade :(:(.. NOVA does start but only with a black screen and some music :P. Somehow, yesterday i clicked blindly and it started working but with almost half the graphics wiped out.. :( so I uninstalled it.

wow, thats sooo awesome. I never managed a speed more that 748. Lucky bum! :D
