Minix Neo X7 Stable Overclocking

[Ilker123]

I have tried Finless' 1.8 rom with CPU 1800 and DDR 800, seemed pretty stable, only issue is that the TV flickered every 30 seconds or so, and in addition, i would see horizontal white artifacts flickering across random areas of the screen. Once I went to stock Minix 008, this problem disappeared. Is this a known issue with this overclock? I know, I know, I went for the most overclocked kernel but I wanted to experiment before I settled on a stable rom.

If you want to have a good setup go for this: 1600-1700 CPU / 600 GPU / 720 Ram
Ram over 720 will give strange behaviour i noticed.
Overclock above 1700 doen not give a noticable advantage ( 5-10% tops )
Oh and dont just look at benchmark numbers, see what it actualy does in use!

Have fun

Cool thanks I'll give it a go! Yeah I'm more interested in daily usage than benchmarks.

Careful with over clocking, what seems ok at first can end in corrupt files or rom... I found that what works today might not work tomorrow with over clocking. Pc experience. Like an engine over rev'ed it will fail overtime.

To every oc'er: I suggest running the AnTuTu stability test to check if the device stays stable over longer periods of intense usage.

I have said this many times but it's worth repeating: Each device is unique. My X7, for example, is perfectly stable with cpu1920/ddr800/gpu798 kernels, others' won't even boot with anything over cpu1608.

+1000 My X7 is not stable over 1800 cpu, all up 1600 must be considered like an extra, maybe you can got it, maybe not.

Had a gpu for pc over locked for a year.. Then become unstable and had to lower to factory.. Still ran ok then
