Can't Overclock Anymore

Yesterday I used PicoDrive for the first time on Pandora. I remember an old Genesis-emulator on my PC having lots of gfx glitches with Contra - Hard Corps. Not PicoDrive - everything works perfect. Also perfectly smooth and perfect vsync all the time. Great.

But now I can't overclock anymore. Could it be that PicoDrive automatically sets OPP3 to OPP2 as soon as it knows 500MHz are fast enough to run the game at fullspeed? And then set OPP2 permanently in the system? Cause that's the only explanation I have why I suddenly can't overclock anymore without the device freezing (550 MHz worked, but at 600, 650 and 720 MHz it froze).

If my assumption is correct - how can I set the power mode manually to OPP3 again?
 
Hmm... /proc/pandora/cpu_opp_max is still 3. <_<

edit: Tried OPP4 => still freezes at 600MHz.
 
Fixed with HF5, remove battery and reinsert it.

You were right, it's the OPP setting ;)
