Root Overclocking the Droid - how hot is too hot?

[Highland Ranger]

(you guys need to get a thread right? for the record, I pay for good work even if I don't have to; but then again, $1.99 won't break me)

Back on topic - I pushed the limit up to 130 degrees F before SetCPU rolls back the speed. Seems to be more stable with respect to app performance - with the 120 degree setting it seems like anytime the clock changed, if I had something running it would get hung up for a while

I was under the impression 110 and up wasn't good, so my SetCPU *Paid for, thank you.* profile is set at anything about 40C to knock the CPU speed to 400. Normal is 1.0 GHZ.

or becuase coding for the blackberry is a real pita. read some dev's take on it..

anyway, im done arguing with you regarding set CPU, fact is.. if the dev didn't want it out there for free -- he wouldn't have it out there for free -- signing up for a membership to XDA is a breeze and doesn't really take much... if you like the dev, the work he does, the app, etc .. then you will donate and 'buy it'. but for the people that a) want to try it b) don't think its worth 1.99 (hah) c) whatever else might be the reasoning.. the dev has made it easily available for FREE on his site after signing up for a membership.

btw, an extremely quick google search for 'setcpu free' gives you the link so its not like it is that hard to find... i think he just wants people that are getting it for free to go to that site for 1) increase hit counts on his site which, makes his site more valuable, 2) probably some add revenue off people visiting.

let me tell you some thing the topic on this forums is not about defending devs ok its about overclocked im over all the bs an plus i wouldn't care what u think an its not my website theres alot of people pay for apps thats no good. so what i got mines for free an did you see me post a link of the website in this forums so how would i increase my counts on a web you idiot go find something to do loserrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr follow me lol

don't worry about it i just got one for free any body want the link to get free setcpu apps let me know i aint stingy like others are lol peace

Aren't stingy? Dude, it's a $3 app that you refused to pay for. I think that's the definition of stingy.

EDIT - I'm almost willing to pay the developer on your behalf. SetCPU is a super cool program and $3 is more than fair.
