The Desire HD has a similar processor running at 1Ghz from the factory so coolbho3000 was able to get it to that speed without any real issues he says. He then decided to push it a little further, and further (as these kinds of things usually go) and he eventually got to 1.42Ghz running all day without any freezes (the minute he
