The CPU Tweaker layout is pretty bad.

Are there any better suggestions, or do most others cause reboots?
[Asus Transformer TF700] tijsva:
Still going strong with 1225mv for 1.8Ghz, have been testing quite a bit today and it seems rock stable! :good: The only issue I encounter is that if I use cpu stress in stability test, after a minute or 2 the clock speed starts to fluctuate between 1.8 and 1.3ghz. Benchmarks and games run flawless ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] RpR:
I just use Antutu's CPU thingy, put it at default values (0 - 1800MHz) and checked "apply at boot" then restart and put the tablet into performance mode, now I'm pulling 6k quadrants easy :)

No messing with voltage or anything!
[Asus Transformer TF700] konpakuyomu:
Thanks, but I cannot understand how to use this. I shouldn't be here....

Anyway, I'll post the SS.

Like these pics, I cannot get over 1.4GHz even set to performance mode.
[Asus Transformer TF700] clemsyn:
UPDATE:

We finally got 1.9 ghz working with 675 GPU!! Unfortunately not all my testers can handle the speed. 1 can't get it to boot, 1 can boot but unstable, 1 is stable at the speed (still waiting for 1 more tester). Although I'm thinking of decreasing GPU back to default to get 1.9, I think an increase in GPU is better than increase in CPU. IMO, 1.8ghz with 650 GPU is best balanced performance/battery life.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Maybe just post both options - 1.9 with 650 GPU and 1.8 with 675 GPU? Or, is there any way that the kernel can be setup to allow the CPU to be set that high, but default to 1.8, so that those that have TF's that can handle it, can take advantage of it? What about the GPU- any way for the user to set the GPU speed without having to recompile the kernel?

Thanks man - donation coming your way now (never made it around to sending it yesterday!). Also, I'd be perfectly willing to test if you need another tester.

I think that the gpu oc is more needed in our device than cpu oc and drain less power.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
Well,imo the best combo so far is CPU@1800 ,GPU@650 and maybe a new version with CPU@1900 and GPU@650.To be honest i don't see the benefit of a highier GPU frequency if we don't have a consistent gain in performance,also because GPU is not used for 2D content by default on our device.Gaining 2FPS in a game or a benchmark will have little or no effect on performance, but considering that we might need higher voltage it will generate much more heat and also drain the battery.CPU instead could improve the overall performance a bit,but once again,imo it would be useful only if we manage to achieve speed but with decent voltage (this is a portable device,we don't have a Noctua cooler for it :D ).Another advantage for CPU overclock is that we have much controll over it than for GPU.

EDIT: @clemsyn - i know Asus was using 1.9Ghz for CPU with some old firmwares (9.4.5.21 and 9.4.5.22),did you managed to have a look at the kernel sources for those firmwares?I wonder what voltages Asus used for those two firrmwares.
[Asus Transformer TF700] eckka:
I am currently running the new Kernel and can say that it made a great difference. Today I tried the Developer Setting of forcing GPU rendering for 2D and can say that this has improved things again. As long as battery life does not diminish or there is not too much heating then maybe a step up on the CPU speed could be good. If there is an impact on battery or heat then I'd be happy to stay with the current 1800 / 650 Kernel.

When OC was implemented on the OG Xoom by TeamEOS they enabled a choice of settings - for CPU overclocking as the GPU was set and fixed - and also a governor setting which auto throttled the CPU. Could something of this be implemented in this ROM?

Thanks for the great work. The combination of CR2.3 and this kernel have unleashed the beast within this tablet.

Cheers,

Eric
[Asus Transformer TF700] clemsyn:
Thanks for your opinions. 1 of my tester got 1.9 ghz at 1.3mv and 675 GPU. Very impressive. Looks like a really good batch of t33 ;) I shall continue to OC his device but at the moment, I'm working on a universal kernel for TF201 and TF300.
[Asus Transformer TF700] clemsyn:
Yes, those can be done in the ROM. Also, I noticed that controlling the GPU has been successfully done by morfic but some users reported SOD.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dgjl:
Do you flash it zipped or unzipped?
[Asus Transformer TF700] hellalucard:
Just flash it zipped :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] clemsyn:
Yes, I looked at that kernel and it was not implemented properly (at least that is what I think). It was actually had a max voltage of 1275 but only till 1.8. It didn't have a voltage for 1.9 and the tegra3-clocks.c is missing one value to OC to 1.9 so I am not sure how they did it. Some users are unable to clock lower than 1300mv in 1.8 ghz during heavy benchmarks of cpu.
[Asus Transformer TF700] clemsyn:
Thanks. Donation received...

Awaiting for response on the universal kernel. Maybe we can tag along those devices as we build this kernel ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] tijsva:
Do you know what voltage that tf700 requires for 1.8ghz?

[Asus Transformer TF700] hellalucard:
Yes it will.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dgjl:
CleanRom 2.3 with Clemsyn's Kernel

Sunspider - 850 in balanced; 848 in performance

Quadrant - 6166 (performance)

Antutu - 14718

Is that good?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Snah001:
Tried 1.8 kernel and at first it looked good, Good scores with antutu.

But..... then I discovered tablet got warmer than before and checked cpu freq.

Seems that cpu0 is constantly hitting 1.8 GHz. Up and down.

Looking at CPU freq times indeedi it is active at 1.8 ghz more than other freq.

Reflashing kernel, wiping cache and dalvik cache didn't help.

Will flash back previous kernel with 650 gpu only.

Edit: on 650 gpu kernel all looks normal, it uses other freq between 51 and 1.7 also.

But on 1.8 ghz kernel it scales constantly up to 1.8 ghz and uses barely or not the others between in (also in powersaving mode!)

That is why it is warming up (and eat battery)

But when benching it of course it looks good because it uses the 1.8ghz constantly.
[Asus Transformer TF700] danger-rat:
I don't believe the stock power modes work with this kernel. You have to manually change the frequency in the CPU settings...
[Asus Transformer TF700] chugger93:
what cpu settings? through something like setcpu you mean? Cuz mine only uses the 1.8 frequency says "cpuspy" sux...

My battery probably will suck cuz of that. Should we be using an app to run alongside this 650 kernel?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Slammin:
I'm pretty sure that the way it's working is, your 5th core is always at 1.8. The other cores are scaling fine, or offline, depending upon current load.
[Asus Transformer TF700] willjohnson:
Hey Clemsyn!!!, dont know if you have checked out Clean Rom thread lately, but your kernel and Scott's rom are doing some amazing stuff together. Go take a look at the scores its getting in Qaudrant, its crazy. Thanks for your work and effort. We really appreciate it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Snah001:
Indeed.

Now the freq will jump between 51 and 1.8ghz without using the freq in between.

So under slightest load it will jump up to 1.8ghz.

For benchmarking this is fine but for normal use the kernel is un usable.

It will suck your battery empty before you know.

And yes power modes are not working anymore.

So some work to do here.

Back to 650gpu oc only kernel.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Slammin:
SystemTuner says my tab is hitting 1.8 and everything in between.

Same here.

Although other CPU states are used, most of the time it stays at 1.8GHz

Sucks battery like hell.

I did a complete and fresh reinstall, but it didn't help. Unfortunatly the 1700 Kernel is no longer downloadable....
[Asus Transformer TF700] RpR:
Mine does 51,475 and 1800Mhz. Jumping to the high clock straight away is normal behaviour of any CPU, it's trying to get whatever workload done as fast as possible, then fall back to the lower speeds.
[Asus Transformer TF700] chogardjr:

[Asus Transformer TF700] clemsyn:

[Asus Transformer TF700] shawnten:
Lol where would I find out how to do that. I am on clean 2.3 with newest recovery
[Asus Transformer TF700] louiscyphere13:
Love this kernel made a huge difference
[Asus Transformer TF700] Slammin:
Are you sure? I mean, from my understanding, the 4 cores were originally limited to 1.6 while the single core was limited to 1.7. Now, the single core is limited to 1.8, as are the other 4 cores.

One other poster eluded to this would equal bad battery life even though he did not actually experience bad battery life since he thought all cores were locked at 1.8, so he instead reverted before even knowing.

I'll admit that I really can't say what battery life is OC'd since I have a dock, but so far it seems a non-isseu for me. I may be mis-understanding the TF700 but I really cannot see how such a small OC would have a significant on battery.

And as for the person that said the modes don't work, that is also not true. Energy saving definitely caps the cpu, at least it does for me, although, it does appear that performance and balanced are pretty equal, as far as performance. I need to run more tests, but this effort looks like a win so far.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rob93950:
This is not proof and I do hope some of you will investigate in some controlled experiments. My limited experience is that my device got much hotter after this overclock update. Also looked to me like I was draining the battery faster. Heat is energy so it wasn't unexpected. Overclock is about 12% higher than stock so I wouldn't be surprised to see at least an hour less of battery life. For me battery life is very high on my requirements list.

The controlled experiment should be Cleanrom with and without this overclock.
[Asus Transformer TF700] clemsyn:
I get the feeling that should just keep at 1.8 ghz and 650gpu. I havent even implemented my battery saving hack ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] tf201:
My tablet is rock solid at these settings. Please consider going further. Each bump helps make this device noticably smoother and faster which is a departure from stock jitters.

1.8ghz was in some of the early kernels as 1.6 was in the tf201.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dgjl:
I'm getting about 5 minutes use for every one percent of battery - and that's with a very dim screen, just doing browsing and kindle reading. Not noticed any extra warmth yet. Not having access to different performance modes is frustrating though, and there is a noticeable decline in battery life.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jupppo:
What also would be very helpful if the ASUS power buttons would work again. Currently its 1.8GHz only, no balnaced or powersaving available.

I got more than 6h with your 1.7/650 kernel, now I am getting 4,5h battery life.
[Asus Transformer TF700] hillyard:
If battery life is most important factor for someone, then ma-bee they should not consider a overclock kernel. I am willing to sacrifice some battery life for performance and stability. I have chargers both at work and at home. Also have the keyboard dock to use as needed( that is mostly use as a stand anyways :) )
[Asus Transformer TF700] Snah001:
Experience described below only confirms my outcome of testing the kernel.

Cpu-0 is constantly jumping immediately to 1.8Ghz already with the slightest load.

This means it is operating at least 10 fold more at max clock than stock kernel, which does use the freq. between the lower and upper limit.

The overclocking should be only raising the max clock without throwing away all the normal control of the cpu's including the modes settings.

And it really gets quite warmer when holding the tablet in landscape mode in the left upper corner at the back.

Battery life is about 20% shortened by this behaviour.

And yes it is nice when you like to benchmarking constantly, but for normal use it is unusable.

These problems are not new, in fact in the beginning of tweaking the kernel for the HTC One-X all the kernel devs had the same problem and it took them quite a while to figure out how nvidia was controlling the cpu because for example the 5th core is hardware coded, only after that they were able to overclock without the symptoms as described here.

So we will wait till the only real kernel dev here (Clemsyn) figured it out.

But never the less keep up the good work here :good:

I'm using interactive governor and I get just about every cpu state: deep sleep, 51, 204,370,475,620,910 and 1800. Batterylife seems fine...off the charger since 6:00 am and still have 90%, with WiFi being the largest user. haven't tried setting profiles, but to me, this is working perfectly!

[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:

[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
The issue is that it's not using any of the frequencies between 910 and 1800 - there are quite a few that it seems to be "skipping". The can be influenced by some parameters in SetCPU too though (go maxspeed load, go hispeed load, etc)... I have mine tuned to at least use 1400 often as well (until it needs more power). Still skipping freq between 910 and 1400 though...
[Asus Transformer TF700] clemsyn:
Can you try using the stock rom/kernel and use interactive and see if it also skips frequencies? It seems like a governor issue to me.

Not every chip can handle more frequency. Try to set lower speeds with SetCPU or so.

It doesnt. it works even fine with your previous kernel version.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
FYI - Flashed the stock kernel back - will run for a bit to see if all of the freqs are used...

Keep in mind that CleanROM can (and does) set parameters that can (and do) affect which freqs are used, so this may actually be a CleanROM "issue" instead of a kernel issue...

I'll report back shortly.

EDIT: I'm seeing the *exact* same thing with stock kernel - it's going from 910 -> 1600 and skips the freqs in-between... This is on performance mode. I'll try balanced mode now to see if that is any different...

EDIT2: I'm seeing the same thing in balanced mode - it goes from 910 -> 1500 and skips the freqs in-between... So, it seems like a non-issue, I guess. Or, it has to do with the tuning that Scott did in CleanROM 2.3 maybe? I know that he is tuning stuff in the /etc/init.d/99CleanTWEAKS file, including CPU scheduling parameters...

Anyway, I'm going back to Cleamsyn's kernel now - it's faster and smoother! :)

I can easily flash back to stock now though, if anyone wants me to run any other tests.

From that screenshoot, I see a lot of 0's in the freq between 910 and the 1500 - that's what I mean by "skipping" - it's not using those freqs at all... I would think that if it did use those freqs, it would actually save battery...

[Asus Transformer TF700] guile229x:
Actually it IS saving battery...

Looking at the screenshot, it does appear that CPU0 does use all the available frequencies. The other CPUs (1-3) should only use the other frequencies as needed; in other words, based on what apps you are running at a given timeframe, all CPUs may or may not utilize all available frequencies.

In addition, to save the most battery, you would want the CPU(s) to remain offline. From the screenshot, 87% of the time the 4 CPUs are offline, which should amount to a significant amount of conserved power. Based on what apps one is using, one shouldn't expect all CPUs to hit all the frequencies all the time. If they did, that would likely use more power than being offline.

Hi mate,other ppl temperatures are irrelevant imo because there are other factors that must be considered ( ambient temps,CPU ,software enviroment,etc) so what i'm trying to say that you should only focus on your device performance,see how it behaves with certain OC speeds and voltages.

Judging on your experience with PC overclocking i guess you already know that a CPU will throttle with high temps so imo as long as Clemsyn doesn't modify something in regards our CPU should be safe,but keep in mind that OC could still have an impact on the device's components life.
