Is over clocking cpu bad for phone? - Moto Z Questions & Answers

I have an Indian version of Moto z running on stock nougat. I installed custom kernel (elemental x) and overclocked the cpu from 1.8ghz to 2.27ghz.. I ran the antutu benchmark test out of curiosity and the results came of to be stunning. Got 1,51,000 score which is insane. As you can see in pic. But the question is, is it bad for our phone?

Yep, its bad for your phone. But difference will be in couple years. Likely you broke it first by yourself, or change for smth else. So dont think about it.

[Q]How much max Ghz can be on X10? Overclock

I mean is this possible to overclock and undervolt stable our X10 with Snapdragon QSD8250 to....maybe 1.5Ghz? With Custom Kernel, or after fully unlock/crack bootloader? Please answer.
to 1.5ghz.....noway, its unstable as it is at 1.2ghz, so far the highest stable frequency is 1152 and mayb 1190.4ghz. the chipset we have cant really be highly overclockd without being really unstable and can damage the phone, i dnt think ny dev will even attempt to do this, even the desire which has same chipset isnt overclockd too much
Thx for answer dude, but one more - Desire have unlocked bootloader if I good hear, how much freq have Desires users?
BTW: I read long time ago that someone do 1.7 (??!!) Ghz for our X10, but it was very unstable, and thread disappear after ~20minutes. You know something more about it?

it doesnt matter if its got a unlocked bootloader or not the chipset itself is not highly clockable it is a hardware limitation, ive jus seen most of them in desire development page dnt go above 1.2ghz, no i didnt hear abt the 1.7ghz and it probably didnt happen, the phone probably wud be dead in 5 minutes

It disappeared because it was wrong.
It was due to an incorrect multiplier and was actually only running at 1152mhz
1228 is the highest anyone can reach without reboots. At this frequency there is a huge possibility of burning out your chip if you leave it there for long periods
supports the x10 Overclok and undevolt to (1113Mhz or 1228Mhz) spends the useful life of the cell
It is best to use stock kernel :S

CM7 Quadr

Hello,
I've had the phone rooted and the new cm7 (bad***), it all runs great I just wonder how some people are getting 5k Quad score while I am at the same 3.2 as it was on stock. I do have the same Kernel and everything when rooting and flashing went so smooth. Is there something I am missing.......
Thanks in advance.

I did, than quadrant freezes while I'm running it. As in when I click submit score, it automatically goes back to the 1st 2d test and than force closes.
"sorry I left that out" :/
call me ignorant but do people STILL think that quadrant scores mean soemthing? why are people still comparing them???
Some people just want to stroke their epeen on the net.
And as to overclocking - not everyone will be able to overclock. There's a reason the device is only sold as 1.2 GHz - that's all it was tested to. Some might hit 1.4, some might hit 1.6, some might be right at the edge and only be able to do 1.2.
its not the quadrant score that matters. Its the idea of why it is different. All the devices have the same cpu have the same kernel and are rooted/flashed as stated in the forum (the same way). So why is mine doing so when clocked and running. I don't care what the score is. even 1200 score is enough for a phone. I didn't want to stroke anything. Its the matter of where the problem/case/scenario is coming from. As in, will it cause other problems and is it a problem at all. having had 5 android rooted/flashed devices I've never experienced it........... Why do people have to be ignorant and troll a forum is an issue I cant understand?

if you're asking why your quad score differs from other ppl's phone with the same setup, then you need to research more.
Not all phones are built the same. Just because they all have the same hardware and software, doesnt mean they'll all operate the same.

So we have bad gaming performance and now the camera too?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Das_lYSODo
This is how Oneplus X performs on low-light conditions, is this software related?
Update: It seems to be hardware related, Oneplus X uses the AA version of the SD 801 which is the weakest version with a GPU performance that loses to phones 2-3 years old. I don't know if this is related to the camera but I already feel cheated as this CPU was marketed as "very similar" to the OPO, this explains why it stays miles away from the OPO and is beaten by phones like the Xiaomi mi 4 which is in the same prince range.

I'm waiting to see what the professional reviews say before drawing conclusions. Even so, I still won't care because I normally don't use my phone to record meaningful HD video.
Just so you're aware, the SOC isn't simply the AA model. It's the MSM8974PROAA. The PRO means that it still has the high end 578mhz gpu. It should dominate current games, yet it doesnt. It's most definitely software related, and oneplus need to get this sorted. Stop misleading people, the phone is technically very powerful. It's Oxygen OS that's letting it down.

Nonsense.
Like someone already said it's AA Pro version which is really good. Game performance and video lagging is software related for sure. Probably due to poor default governor.

I rooted my device without unlocking bootloader.
I than tampered a little bit with the cpu and got way better performance in games as well
I considered flashing that kernel, too, but didn't want the hassle of resetting my device for it (unlocking bootloader). I'll do that when more custom roms are available.

Not really sure. In all the charts I've seen online the "AA" model of the 801 has a 450mhz gpu. I've benched the X and it has the 578mhz and a clear PROAA designation. Did some tests with gaming too. Even running riptide gp2 with all the graphics settings on off/minimum, it stutters. That just shouldn't happen on ANY 800 series. Just hoping people don't underestimate what this phone "should" be capable of

just because it displays the frequency doesnt mean the gpu will ever reach it
indeed the soc should have a better performance. i still guess its really bad software and they will fix it in future ota

I this iteration of the 801 has the talent to be an absolute beast. Just need to have decent firmware to run it.
Apparently the Oxygen kernel code is so messy.

I far as i know the MSM8974PROAA has indeed the high GPU freq. (578 MHz) but compared to AB and AC variants it has much lower ISP freq. and RAM Memory Interface freq. I've an OPX E1003 with Antutu 5.7 3D score of ~11000, whereas the Galaxy S5 scores ~13500, so 22 percent better in gaming according to Antutu. The total antutu score is sligtly lower than of the Galaxy S5, but it seems largely to have to do with 3D performance.
But I noticed using a Usage Monitor app that Asphalt 8 really doesn't push this phone to the max (CPU and GPU wise) ánd has a low framerate (might be app specific issue). With the same Usage Monitor I found out Antutu 5.7 3D pushes the GPU freq. to the max (578 MHz) but still scores significantly below Galaxy S5. Gaming NFS Most Wanted is okey, but GTA San Andreas has lower framerates than expected. I didn't expect the differences between 2 SnapDragon 801 variants to be this big!

Blu_spark kernel gaming performance

People are stating that the performance is much improved after flashing the kernel. So I want to ask how does GTA sanandreas run on the device is it comparable to the ONEPLUS ONE ? Could anyone maybe upload a short sample to youtube of the game running at max settings on the device with the Blu_spark kernel ?
Video I found of gta performance with stock kernel skip to 2:00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCfUUhp_M54
With Blu spark it's exactly as one plus one performance.

Possible yes but not with Blu spark. Noone working on it as far as I know. Eng.stk could implement it in Blu spark but does not want to, which is the correct decision in my opinion.

Why wouldn't it be the correct decision ? it could be completely optional
Yeah. I wish that someone would even make a 2.5ghz possible as optional. People that tweak with kernels usually know what they are doing plus one setting that is above the normal values would not even bloat it. Also we have thermal limit that will kick in that there will be no damage. It would be nice to experiment just a little bit.
Ps. Still one helluva kernel. Thanks to eng.stk
Great kernel. I use it on CM 13 with an incredible undervolt. I'd bet I could hit even 2.8ghz easily and stay under stock voltages. Loving it for everything else though.

Been my daily driver for a week. 729mhz was unstable so I had to raise it to 730mv from 725, but its great. Hence why I'd like more options for frequencies haha. I think I have an insanely high binned chip even though its an AA model. Can't wait to see what frequencies I can hit though.

925 actually works too, but I had a few bugs. Rule of thumb is generally 10mv above whatever works so I settled with 935. I will test 930 though. Had to raise 1900 to 910. 905 gave me issues in stability testing.

You dont want to use anyones voltage settings. Undervolting is random. Some people get amazing results while someone gets crashing.
Undervolting cpu makes the phone run cooler and will save a bit of battery also.
Less heat also means that the cpu will propably survive a bit longer. Same goes for battery because cpu temps affect the battery too.
You just need to test all the voltages yourself and see what works and what does not.
Always make a backup that if something goes wrong you can always restore the system.
Also if you undervolt dont go complaining to devs about crashing or system lockups.

Cpu feequency doesn't go over 1.7 ghz

Hy guys.
My girfriend bought a beautiful S9 plus and she loves it. It is a great piece of hardware, from design to speed and camera. Just amazing.
Of course i had to test a few things myself (still a rooted note 3 owner). I tried my old "Nemesis", Retroarch, with a couple of games (3rd gen Cave shmups) that put to shame every smartphone Cpu sp far.
The games finally ran full speed, except for moments where a ton of stuff happends on screen and the framerate and audio start going a bit crazy. What is strange though, is the fact that the Cpu never goes beyond 1.7 ghz, never once, which is the little cores max frequency. I'd expect it to reach 2.7 which is the max for the big powerfull ones, to further smoothen the performance.
Is there something i'm missing here? There is no power saving activated and the game center(?forgot the actual.name) settings are set to performance (though from what i understand it only affects display, not Cpu).
...help?

I haven't gone beyond 1.7ghz since my last reset, I did when I first got the phone but my assumption is that s new kernel was installed that changed the way the CPU ramped up (Exynos btw) to counter the battery life claims. In all honesty from my limited knowledge it's probably the GPU that limits the frame rate but that's only a guess as 8 cores @ 1.7ghz is plenty of processing power.

The S9+ is not rooted, so it's on stock kernel.
Also, the emulator (mame) is designed to only use Cpu for 2d games, with Gpu used at minimum.
1.7 is far from enough, especially when it can go up to 2.7 to improve the otherwise non-optimal performance of the games. I'm very curious what's the issue here...

Oh, now i understand. Well, it's very strange and frankly, a bit alarming. Could anyone else with up to date stock software share some numbers as well?
Same.
Same here on G965FXXU2BRG6.
Edit: It seems that CPU Spy doesn't work correctly on the S9. When using CPU-Z and running Geekbench 4, I can clearly see CPUs 4-7 running at 2704 MHz at times.
That's interesting. So my next test will have to involve Cpu-z as a monitoring tool. Thanks for the replies guys.

God damn it. Haven't got the time to do further testing myself yet, but by the looks of it 1.7 seems to be the max. and not 2.7.
Any rooted phones owners care to share some numbers? Can you lock it to 2.7 like it should?
Are we talking Exynos or Snapdragon here? That'd be a good piece of info while sharing the stats!
Personally i'm talking about exynos, but apparently snapdragon behaves the same.

Yes, i tried all settings including performance mode. It only affects brightness and screen resolution. The Cpu speed is still limited to a 1.7 max.

I did the same, then I tried in WQHD+ resolution hoping that it may create more demand from CPU/GPU and no, same 1.7. What is the best way to make a complaint about it to Samsung? We bought an 8 cylinder Maserati and after the honeymoon they remotely disabled two because the engine might blow?

Probably the official forums.
It would be great if a rooted user with a Cpu oriented kernel (overclocking, voltage, governor manipulation) would show us that those big cores can, at least when rooted, be used at full potential.

Thanks, am gonna register there, see what they have to say about it. That and my other question I'd have: why I received my 'new' S9+ with IMEI SV 07? And when I did IMEI lookup on line, found out that the phone was registered for warranty one month before I ordered it. My email to Customer Service was returned with "Samsung sells only brand new phones". Didn't know that there is no replacement policy at Samsung, you can only return it for refund, it's not a good option for me, because I took that 'bundle deal' and I don't owe the Chromebook anymore, they would subtract some$ from it. Well, according to Samsung, the warranty on my phone runs until October '19, we'll see.
