XCPUScalar 2004 2.6

[pochreyes]

Hello,

Has anyone tried using XCPUScalar? There is a new version available released today. I'd just like to know your comments if it's worth it, and if this type of application is safe to use.

I use v2.53 which seems very stable.

I'm not sure how good it is at over-clocking and the real difference this makes yo the XDA's useability.

However, the fact that it can reduce CPU speed depending on need, and therefore extend battery life is quite useful.

From the release notes for 2.6, there are a couple of improvements I'd welcome, such as the ability to set the speed on boot rather than revert to default.

Last time I tried to overclock a PDA was with one of my Ipaqs... it hard reset... and I never did it again...

Can someone give me enough reasurance to try this new piece of SW?

Thanks,

Chris

started using xcpu scalar last night, and i gotta say, its incredible!

got my xda2 running at 530mhz at the moment

before that i used to use pocket hack master, and was good, but complicated,* plus my xda2 would only run stable at 528mhz*

so i got 2mhz extra lol! ;-)

i highly recomend!!

Thank you!

But... how do you know up till what point is stable... and at what point it hardresets? How do you know you could push it to 530 rather than 500 or 700? You push it until it crashes? You get a warning message?

Sorry if the question is a bit naive :roll:

Thanks,

Chris

The maximum stable frequency for xda2 is 472-530 Mhz.
Where 472 has more benefits in stability and fatest memory clock.
Mine runs good on 530 in Os menu,but freezes instantly in hard processing soft..like Quake,WmPlayer.(it is also like to anaylze if some programs are running in background and don't support these frequencies)
Note: some application like Camera are more sensitive than others to overclocked fr. but personally I did only encontered benefits in Camera app with more fps.
A benchmark reported that in same cases better performance is on 400mhz and 472 max. (on xda2)
Faster overclock will only degrade your performance,but you can try it.. at least you will have to Soft-Reset or Hard-Reset your device,so backu-up first all your data.

There is no 2mhz extra,the real freq. is 528 but approx. to 530
Also Hack Master is recommende for more professional use,because it offer many options like no other overclock application.

I am sure you are interested to read the overclock results:
