what about binned pandoras as next premium offer?

[mhadf]

I've found the sweet spot at 850 - Any higher, even with OPP5, and it gets errors building Firefox Although it seems ok for all other uses at higher speeds!

Ouch.


I have pushed it to just over 1000 at OPP5 without any probs, OPP3 has never worked beyond 720 for me though.

But 720 is virtually the standard OPP3 clock-speed?

They will all do 800Mhz anyway and dare I say 1Ghz.

So if mine crashes at 1Ghz, can I get an RMA?

 

[Nintendo]

No, because all you have to do switch it back on and it'll be all good. When it crashes it won't break the Pandora.

Heh... The main site says the processor is capable of '600+' MHz. So officially they can only support 601MHz.

In any case, between OPP3~OPP5, the Pandora won't die.

Mine tops out around 850-900Mhz at OPP5. Some apps run fine, but compiling will break it as will some emulation.


Bit disappointing, but gets the job done. But I don't think suggesting 1Ghz at OPP5 is fine is good plan.

at OPP3~OPP5 ITS INDESTRUCTIBLE!! \m/ (O.O) \m/


/me gets sledge hammer to test it out.

I can get mine to just over 1ghz, but it's not always stable. I think the highest that I've had mine (at OPP 5) was 1050mhz. The desktop freezes immediately if I try to push it past that. I think 850mhz is my sweet spot on OPP3. I rarely overvolt as it doesn't make most things that I do any faster.


PCSX-ReARMed doesn't like anything past ~800mhz now that notaz has implemented the NEON instruction set (not that it needs more speed than that).

 

[Nintendo]

Thanks for that David, I might go with what you do, because at the moment I'm running my battery dry quicker than 10 hours.

My Pandora's maximum is somewhere between 900-950Mhz. At 950Mhz, it crashes.

At OPP5?

Um... at whatever voltage is the default, if I'm understanding this correctly.


I remember back from the GP32 days that simple overclocking was considered safe, but changing the voltage was not, so I haven't tried changing the voltage.

Oh the GP32 it did require you to open it up and manually solder in a new resistor though, we're not going that far!

WTF? That's awfully high on OPP3? I only get 850 max on OPP3.


What's your max on OPP5?

 

[craigix]

They should all be able to do 720mhz at opp3.


I thought they all did 800mhz, but it looks like the odd one can't.


I've seen units reach 1ghz on OPP3, but really you would need opp5 in most cases.


I think the beagleboard runs at opp5 now.

 

[Nintendo]

Lol, I want 1Ghz on OPP3!!! B)
