768 a no go, but 750 works fine...

hey maybe for poeple getting different and high clock speeds when you post please post the build date of your device also. maybe then we could see if maybe different devices have a slightly better clock then others

Good idea..
I'm using the 3/28/10 build from MACKIE with a class 2 16GB Sandisk card.

EDIT: 760 works too. Maybe increments of 10 work better than other numbers. Doing more tests.

EDIT2: 770 worked as well. Getting the feeling that 10 MHz increments are key here.

825000 and screaming like a daemon! But it sucks up juice like it's going out of style! 03/28 Mackie

wow seeing how much people are pushing out of this originally 528mhz processor i wonder what are people gonna reach with the snapdragon on the HD2 its already 1ghz lets see what it can go up to lol

Overclocked at 768

Benchmark CPU score: 220.32057

running the official Mighty Rom 3.23.10

4gb san disk

about half what the Moto Droid gets.

Not to be too rude, but it sounds like some of you need to read up on overclocking...

Basically, chip manufacturing is NOT an exact science - at least when it comes to clock speed. The rating on the chip is the recommended setting that the manufacturer is guaranteeing. It is usually much lower than what the chip will actually perform at. However, individual chips are not tested for the maximum rates, only that they perform at what they are supposed to. Therefore one chip that is rated at 528 Mhz may run at 700, 800, or even higher while another one rated at 528 may barely cap out at 600. The only way to know is to test it. Furthermore, running at higher rates also requires more power. You may get lucky and have a chip that can hit 900 or 1 Ghz, but it'll be draining your battery like nobody's business - and may even cause underlying calculation errors when processing. There's just no way to know.

any one know what im doing wrong... everytime i try adding the overclock command i get unknown keyword error.

Copy and paste your startup.txt into a post and others can take a look at it.

Exactly, while some are hitting 800MHz or higher, my highest stable clock speed seems to be 730MHz. 740MHz will boot, but it restarts the phone within a few minutes. I've tried higher clock speeds and Haret locks up either in WinMo or during the Android boot screen. But hey, 200MHz over stock speed is fine by me, more is better, but I'll take what I can get.
