In short - unless a program proves that it can disable our scaling, only use an overclocking program if you need more speed.

The only times our unit disables autoscaling is when it is plugged into external power, or using camera mode, or when using VJLumosII (high brightness prog).
I used to set a overclock speed, turn on Lumos proggy, then close the either overclock program and Lumos will hold the overclocked speed untill turn off or sleep mode.
Hopefully this newer version will adresses the fact that all our units can handle a higher Bus speed(260) which makes as much or more difference that just the overclock speed, which alot of newer units cannot handle. older units were able to pass 620Mhz but now my newer unit will not reach this speed unless I manually adjust with Pocket Hack Master, which allows more tinkering but not as safe as Xcpuscalar .
I had mainly given up on overclocking now but sometimes can come in handy.
Underclocking 2 save battery on our units is like finding the holy grail. Dont expect 2 see it but then again you never know. |
Thats the funny part that happened with mine, XCPUscalar underclocked my CPU just fine, and when hooked up to the cradle, it would do the opposite of what you described, it would lock the CPU at 420mhz when plugged into USB... After removing it from the cradle, it would drop back down to its set idle speed of 208mhz...
