Overclocked Droid vs Regular Droid vs Gimped Droid ( web page browsing)

HA! EAT IT iPhone!

I got mine overclocked at 1100 mhz but it only shortins the life of your droid cause the chip isnt made to go higher than 550.It blows my mind that my pc from the 90's could never keep up with this phone.

@scavenger4life The droid's chip is actually underclocks, it was designed to run at 600mhz.  Now thats the lowest the who batch on a wafer was designed to run but because of natural variance in 'things' in life, some chips can actually tolerate higher clocks. but when in doubt run it like stock =P

[scavenger4life]

@gltovar i keep it at 600 but if i play a psx game then i run it at 1100.

[gltovar]

@scavenger4life good times ^_^

Welcome to the internet.

What's up with that crunching noise when you zoom in and out? Lol. Great video though. I use quadrant benchmark so I cam compare it to other fonts, but this is a really practical test.

haha i love that - "if you can handle this, you'd probably have amazing battery life!" LOL

[BleezyD]

What ROM are you running?

[gltovar]

@BleezyD at the time it was ultimatedroid, but now I'm running cyanogenmod 6 rc2

[ItsTheChief117]

@gltovar Eh, just get the official Froyo update.

[gltovar]

@ItsTheChief117 cyanogen(mod) has been pretty good and it feels like a stock build of froyo.

[uwanaugoda]

so wait does it take more battery and get hotter?

[alteregoharry]

@uwanaugoda Yes it consumes more power, hence why it gets hotter (more current flowing to the processor). But you can set your overclocking to specific tasks. i.e. set it lower when charging and when it's hibernating, and maxed out when in use. I personaly charge my phone daily and in the car, so i'm not worried about power usage.

Not bad. Im a bit disapointed that someone like CNET or Phandroid has never done anything like this

[GavinSpenceR18]

id go with the 125 mhz

[ipodtouchmaster06]

@GavinSpenceR18 You love your battery! ;D
