Overclocking your phone in CyanogenMod

As I told you before overclocking is a process when you change the speed of you phones processor.
This sounds like a great thing to do, but in reality this activity can make your phone a bit unstable. If you follow everithing as written here, you don't have to worry about a thing.
The interesting fact in CyanogenMod 7 is that it comes preinstalled with overclocking software; also the fact that this ROM is rooted by default helps our cause greatly.
So, finally, the steps to do it:
1st Step: Go to menu.
2nd Step: To to settings.
3rd Step: Go to CyanogenMod settings.
4th Step: Select Performance .
5th Step: Tap on CPU settings.
Minimum value is okay at 122 MHz, because it is advised to use a low frequency too, in order to allow the processor to swich to this value when not in use, conserving energy, prolonging lifetime.
Maximum value should be set to around 600 MHz, preferably this value, because of safety and security reasons. The device is fully functional at this clock rate, without any stability issues. Of course you can increase the clock speed for experimenting, but in this case you risk of winding up with an unstable and faulty OS at demanding processes.
