over- and under clocking your mda compact

[rickske]

I just tried chainging my cpu speed using some programs I found

first of all I tried xcpuscalar, but the whole machine freezed and I had to do a soft reset

next I tried a program I found on this site called overclock, it was not designed for this device but I wanted to try it and hoped that it would work, but unfortunately it gave the mesage when I tried using "unable to execute"

and now I am using phm but this also has some problems as an example the whole machine freezes with a bus of more than 130, so this limits the speed to 520 mhz. this happens while using speed configuration on that item

Is there someone else who tried o/c or u/c on his magician(I have an t-mobile branded version)? and if so with which program, and what are you're experiences? How far were you able to go?

I find it hard to believe the max for the magician is at 520 mhz so I hope there is someone who knows more about this

Did u try pocket hackmaster yet......??? It has a good reputation.

yes phm is pocket hack master, but when I try a bus higher then 130 the program hangs, and I have to do a soft reset, the maximum speed I can get this way is at 520 mhz, and I was hoping to push it some bit further

edit: I had the hack master 3.05 version as a trial because I first wanted to see if the program worked, but now after only 2 days the trial has expired, so maybe there is someone else who has a registered version and willing to also give it a shot

i also tried PHM 3.05.001 and noticed the 130MHz bus limit..

however if you add a manual speed, u can increase the clockspeed multiplier and take it way higher than 530MHz - i had it running at 845MHz!!! but surely that cant be good for the phone? although it passed all the stress tests and so on....

also... shortly after i did that the phone crashed and i was forced to hard reset!!! my punishment for overclocking too much :oops:

[rickske]

thanks for the info, the only problem now remaining is that the trial has expired and I first want to test this before buying it :(

ah well, too bad, I only find it very strange that when you have a trial for 10 days it stops working after only one day :?

Dear all

Try to Put in 111 111 111 111 111 111 on the serial no and see.

enjoy

nice the code works thx's

Do Yyou erally notice that higher speed on your compact? Because otherwise i would overclock mine also to bus 130 mhz :)

What are the advantages ?

[jackleung]

Don't trust the clock value reported by PHM! Use third party program like Betaplayer and U will found the value report by PHM is not correct

I can set PHM to report a 926mzh!!! and un the tests OK. But betaplayer reports only 494 (and it can be proved by the similar benchmark of PHM itself or from Betaplayer)

Magician probably use some relatively poor quality ram or components that post a 130mzh limit on the bus and there is no way to use any software to overcome physical limit. For stability, I will only set it to 124mzh.

HOW DO YOU SET UP A MANUAL SPEED FOR BENCHMARKING THE CPU SPEED?!?!?!?

[iCue]

I just wondered if the mini ( or ppc architecture in general ) is layouted for scaling cpu and bus frequencies. all you guys just do it, and I think that at least downscaling during idle time like centrino notebooks do is a great feature to save batterie time, but is the basic hardware architecture made to cope with the chaning tensions / currents ?

If the answer would be a yes, then why the hack this feature is not implemented in windows ce ?
So I tend to say no it isnt... maybe somebody could give evidence

thx in advance

in response to the question by iCue,

yes, the hardware is made to cope with the changing clock multiplier/clock frequencies...

the title of the CPU itself, "scalar" means that it is capable of scaling the speeds up and down to conserve battery life etc...

unfortuantely, microsoft being micrsoft, did not implement this (hence programs like pocket hack master being needed)

When i use XCPUscaler, then i notice that my magician works not so good as else. Under 10 % it scales to 208 Mhz in stead of 416 to save power but when i do something big like view foto's then xcpuscaler sometimes doesn't speed up my magician. Nobody noticed this on his magician?

That's the reason why i stopped using it !

Thanks
HighPingBastard for this precise answer :)

@ThEScReW : Naturally it is a problem that if you use 100% of 200 Mhz it is hard for phm to gain enough to upscale the cpu...
so well... no I didnt realise this problem yet ;D
