[One (M8) General] HD2Owner:
hi

i did some research regarding the topic and want to share my finds/work with everyone.

the comparison shows all pvs of MSM8974AB 2.3ghz (one m8 - pro_rev1_2p3g) and MSM8974AC (gs5 - pro_rev1_2p5g).

all table data manually taken from latest one m8 kernel sources.

in addition i added one m7 (APQ8064) and lumia 930 (2p2g) chips (pvs0 and pvs6) for intresting comparison.

with this guide in combination with root access, custom kernel and trickster mod you can find out your cpu's pvs bin (compare default voltages).

alternative to find your pvs: adb shell from recovery (su) "cat /proc/last_kmsg | grep bin: -i".

also it serves as a template to try out higher pvs settings on your cpu.

as you see, qualcomm did some impressive work with binning and trying to get most out of each cpu.

however there is usually still some headroom for optimizations if you do some efforts.

same research i already did for the m7 (APQ8064 compared to APQ8064T of galaxy s4) if someone is intrested (let me know).

happy clocking/volting!

i take no responsibilities for potential harm you do to your device. all on your own risk.

please share your results of which pvs level works on your personal chip (also tell stock pvs value of course).

best min frequency:

lowest possible setting (300mhz in case of MSM8974)

i highly recommend to run those values (exept if you are actually playing demanding 3d games).

use trickster mod frequency lock feature to do so. you will experience amazing battery life.

how to get the maximum battery life:

if you have a MSM8974AB pvs 6 for example, try the following steps:

try the next higher pvs levels (pvs7). don't try AC pvs values on AB chips.

AB chips are binned for lower frequencies while AC are binned for higher frequencies (duh).

so if you have a AB chip, work your way up the AB pvs values until you have freezes or similar and move back.

if you have a AC chip, work your way up the AC pvs values etc...

if you found highest setting that does not cause any problems after intensive testing and usage:

congratulations, you did it. :good:

how to get the maximum frequency:

first try higher than stock maximum clock and see how it behaves.

if you don't reach your desired clockspeed, try the next lower pvs setting of your chip. yes, i said LOWER.

this gives the processor more voltage to reach higher overclocks.

i don't recommend it tho since we all want our phones to last as long as possible usually.

signs of too high overclock:

device lockups (not responding) or sudden reboots during heavy load.

signs of too low voltage:

problems with audio when screen off, long screen wakeup time, lockups and reboots even without cpu-load.

caused by not enough voltage for low frequency levels usually.
