Default Overclocking

I have set my Dash to 240MHz from i guess the standard 201MHz, however it doesn't seem to be any faster. I've tried multiple tasks at the same time and I just can't feel a difference in speed.

On the system info it always shows 201MHz regardless to what clock i set it. I also don't notice a difference in battery consumption.

How can i check if the Dash is indeed OCed that what I set it to?

The only way is to look at OMAPClock I do believe.

The only way I know is to go back into OMAPClock and check what setting you have it on. I don't know of a way to see the current clock settings. I can say this-- Your phone's speed greatly depends on the number of applications and programs you have running simultaneously. If you have a lot of stuff going on at once, then you may not notice the difference in speed from 201mhz because the 240mhz is absorbing all of this activity. I noticed a change in my phone's speed when I first o/ced it (significant enough for me to notice a difference), but after a while my S620 became loaded down with all kinds of programs as I began exploring the wonderful world of modding. Now it runs at a decent speed.
In my future, there are no errors. Only...Syntaxx.

I keep my phone very light. Only on there what I really use. The OMAP says 240. I'll keep it at 240 for now and see what happens. If I can see reduced Battery life over the next few weeks I guess it must be working. I'm not sure if I can go 1 step higher.

My old dash burned out on a hot Florida Spring day with a (I believe 252 OC). So I'm also kinda worried about the heat (internal/external), but as far as I read everything should be just fine at 240MHz.
