OverClock Your Droid X/Droid 2... Is 2GHz Okay?

2ghz.jpg


If you are looking for a new speed boost for your Droid X or Droid 2, a new developer seems to have a solution to your problem. Today an article on AndroidCentral seems to point to a guy that supposedly has an over clock method which safely get’s the new Droid’s to an unthinkable speed of 2 GHz. The article does not give you any step by steps or things in that nature but just a video that can be watched if desired.

Due to the lack of information the article seemed a bit fishy and the developers of SetCPU thought so too when they said "Okay, the 2GHz video is a deliberate and obvious hoax, not even confusion." Now I don’t know about you but that kind of speed is a little hard to believe, and to make matters worse, a trusted developer that we all know and love seems to think this is a fake as well. Like AndroidCentral said, I want to believe you, but come on, just give us a little proof in the form of a quick painless Benchmark test.

Does anyone believe in this over clock rumor (what I shall call it until actual proof is released) or do you all side with SetCPU’s developer in calling this a fake. Let’s get the comments rolling in this thread.

Update Can you believe it... They went passed 2 Ghz... Now in the 3 Ghz turf. Check out the picture

Update V2 Our member silvasrt4 just put a smile on my face with this picture:

I'm sure its possible, 1.4ghz is getting common, i guess you could say, with people who overclocked there X or D2.
At 2ghz I cant imagine the CPU lasting to long. Just like with computers and overclocking heat is always an issue.
 
complete bull crap. all he did was modify setcpu to show permanent text Max 3000 and min 300. and it was clearly 3000, dunno where the OP got 2000 lol no offence
 
Fake.

Another thing to note, looks like he was moving in slow motion, then played the video back at 2x speed to make it appear to be faster CPU speeds.

Definitely a fake.
 
seeing as how the droid 2 processor specs listed here cant handle the supposed speed, THIS IS FAKE:

on a brighter note i believe this processor can handle around 1.4ghz but i would be shocked to see it at 3ghz, thats faster than my old laptop.

thats faster than my current laptop!

exactly my point, but your laptop's processor is completely different then the ARM processor on the phone.
 
The first thing that made me think its fake. Min slider all the up, yet stayed at 300. Read 3000 max 300 min. If it was real would have read 3000 max 3000 min.

I'm saying setcpu was altered to show those speeds. That phone was slow for 1.2 ghz let alone 3ghz.
