About 6 months OC@900Mhz(max; 500 min) with stock voltage, undervolting (as in "ideal profile") caused video recording failures, at least in 1.2. No problems at all but it once "reboot unexpectedly" when decompressing a couple GB tar.gz file, maybe it overheated or violated some memory region, don't know.
Performance boost is really noticeable, specially psx4m games really need OC. Also some rmvb videos.

hi..i was running with ideal constantly 900 Mhz.it was perfect, the reason is that Im in work all time on gprs connection (web,facebook,skype), calls, sms, emails...and for this usage it was really fine. but im worried if it did not short the lifetime of processor.what do you think abou it..the temperature was max 35°C..

here is my profile

Code:
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - CREATE A COPY OF IT FOR CUSTOMIZATION 
# minimum frequency to use
MINFREQ=125
# maximum frequency to use
MAXFREQ=750
# list of frequency configurations: each "frequency:volt,dsprate"

SMARTREFLEX_VDD1=0
SMARTREFLEX_VDD2=0
GOVERNOR=ondemand
UP_THRESHOLD=75
SAMPLING_RATE=150000
IGNORE_NICE_LOAD=1
POWERSAVE_BIAS=0
max heat is 43Celsius
in high and long usage

all works fine and smooth including flash videos

and i will never ever go to the normal state xD
my battery stands for 1 day @ high useage

i'm fine with my profile
my n900 likes it, too

That is of course absurd, and the reasonable way to prove it's not true is to poll people.

BTW: I do regularly oc to 900 mHz max, but I have never even tried faster, not even once.
I think you are talking about me (http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...postcount=1660), but tell me if I'm wrong, I will immediatly apologize and delete this post

Outrageous? Absurd?
First of all, I was only speculating, I was not "quite sure": I didn't say "I know that everyone overclock", and I didn't say "I am sure that the majority of us is overclocking", I only expressed my thought (I said "I think") and tried to explain it. Instead, you are sure that I was wrong, and that my error was otrageus: on which bases do you think I could have been outrageus? Maybe what I think is absurd as you said (I don't think so, maybe it's simply not true: this poll will show us), but not otrageus. Why are you so angry?

Btw, I didn't say 1.1GHz, but 1GHz: 100MHz of difference are important when talking about a 600MHz processor

thats it...what do you think?

It only heats up under load. It can be running at 900Mhz comfortably without issue so long as there is zero load on it. Once load is applied and it starts to have worker threads that's when the heat starts to build up as the current starts to pass through it.

Although I do side with the idea of maybe turning min frequency down to about 500Mhz.

dont take it personally, for one it wasn't geneven who started this poll it was me, i believe i did see your comment but its hardly the only one on these lines. so yes that is ONE of the reasons for this poll. not to debunk your claims or make you look stupid but so we can actually have an idea of the real picture, and the next time you wont have to make a wild guess as to percentages of oc'ers, and up until now the rebuttles to these kind of claims were based upon as much evidence as the claims themselves. with many saying only the hardcore overclock.

this wasn't the only reason for the poll, but it was a biggy.
