    About the HP touchpad with kernel 1.5 Ghz overclock

    Filed under: News;

    The CPU is clocked by the HP touchpad up to a maximum of 1.2 Ghz, but it would actually according to the specifications of the CPU up to 1.5 Ghz. To throttle the CPU knows the reasons, probably only HP, but as a user you can override this restriction to happiness. With the kernel via the CPU more you can make a fire under the butt, so apps launch faster and smoother running.Negative consequences for me, I could not find the touchpad is still stable, the battery is drawn, I feel, not empty and the touch pad is faster in operation continues to cool.

    About the kernel you have to first install in a first step Preware, the process I have described at some length in the linked article. Preware is installed, then install kernel is no more difficult than installing an app.

    Addiction in Preware after the kernel about how even after the app “Govnah”. So you can run the kernel with 1.5 Ghz, you need to install both packages. Both packages are installed, you restart your touchpad.

    “Downloads” tab you will now have two new entries, the entry “about kernel” in themselves, you can forget it informs you about the new kernel only. Important “Govnah”, the program shows you including information and charts on the pads of your hardware, you can also define the CPU controller. Chooses at this point simply “OnDemandTcl 1512″ from your touchpad and already clocked up to 1.5 GHz high.

    Consistent negative I could not say how to determine. For this example, the browser now runs much smoother. Other apps that run on the CPU push faster and better, I have seen no negative effects. As a demo I made a little video with the new kernel, it is already installed on the device, it should show you whether to “risk” to work with over the kernel you want.
