HTC Performance (overclocking) OEM - Page 8

weird... ok, I'll check that again tomorrow - I didn't see any difference when I measured it today. Did you soft reset after changing the speed or not (just so I can do the same thing?) Thanks!

I have it at 624, and it is wicked fast! Yes it does suck down the power (though not as bad as I had expected - just got a 3200mah seidio so we'll see how that goes) Compared to stock and 520 it really seems to move a heck of a lot faster. I was worried about 624, but since I have the insurance, I figured, what could it hurt

So, y'all are using 6700s? And seeing actual battery differences?

I just put mine into 624 mode, and as expected, no idle battery draw difference before soft reset.

Soft reset, and - still no difference. I'll leave it in that mode for a while, but I don't think its doing anything at all - at least on my 6700.

520 is snappier than 624. helmi has made one kickass placebo effect.

I think we'll rename this in the next kitchen to "HTC Sugar Pill".

j/k, kinda...

I love it, placebo oem's...

So now that we basically agree this does not do too much...does anyone use anything else to overclock? XCPUScaler?

You know what's weird... if you pick the 624 speed, battery life sucks, *and* its slower. But the idle ma draw is unchanged.

If you run into Helmi_c, you have got to ask him about this oem

And yeah, 520 feels faster then off. Freaky.

Is there any way of checking to see if the processor speed is actually increasing?
I've been running at 520, and notice little if any, difference. Hadn't tried 624....

It's not. If it did, cpu benchmarks would have shown that.

See the early posts in this topic by me, where I did cpu benchmarks with this "overclock" and an actual real live overclocking app.

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...7&postcount=32 (that's the post)

I have no idea what this is doing - it's doing something... just not doing anything to the cpu clock.
