I didn't see this posted yet but here's an interesting article from engadget.

I just cried for battery life but still a good step forward nevertheless.

One of my co-worker has a Droid and he's been overclocking his to 1.2Ghz with no problem so I don't see it being a problem for the Evo beside draining the hell out of the battery.

shouldn't drain it too badly. The guy said he only had to up it like 35mv...not bad at all. And you can go to 1.19GHz with no voltage increase.

More than likely they have a custom kernel. You cant just overclock on the stock or even the custom roms until someone releases one that has the capability.

I found the files and have the program but am wondering how to do it. My phone is rooted via unrevoked. Do I simply copy the contents of the zip to the phone over writing the other files? I will try this but want to know what to do so I don't kill my phone.

There is a custom rom posted HERE with optional 1.2 gig overclock.

Lot of good information here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695750

I want to point out the camera is not working with this kernel.
