Nope, they have probably reached a safe production stage, overclocking the AC56U is now safe. I keep mine at 1100,666 and it's on 24/7 managing a pretty big home network (laptops, tablets, phones, wifi appliances, extenders, NAS...). I tried 1100,800 but after a couple of days WiFi wasn't working anymore. Had to switch it off, let it cool down a bit, and turn it on again. Since then, went back to 1100,666.There's something that I'm missing or I'm just "luck"?
Please note that for now the router is in stand-by, this means is just on with a laptop connected directly for the SSH...I'll perform some test soon.
Regarding the CPU Temperature is safe 75 or is too high already?
It's already in the first page.Please, post your EU CFE for others to try, thanks. Eventually in CFE thread.

With DDWRT it will run about 6/7 degrees cooler. To overclock with the latest beta, save the nvram command as a startup command:Nothing to do with DD-WRT v24-sp2 (02/04/15) - build 26138 that basically is the latest beta (at the present) build for the Asus RT-AC56U. After i put the router in 1200,800 / commit / reboot I got a bootloop... Only the 30/30/30 (WPS) reset procedure fix the problem restoring the classic clock freq...
Gyte, 30/30/30 reset does not work with Asus routers on RMerlin firmware.
Dude, this is weird. Are you getting 2398 when you check the bogomips??? I get the same result running the router at 1100,800...In term of usage I know that's better 1200,800 vs 1200,666 but from daily point of view the overall performance comes from cpu speed or memory speed? Because if the CPU do the "tricks" I'll stick on 1200,666 otherwise 1000,800...
Let me know what you think
I think this values enable overclockingI compared the RT-AC56U cfe version 1.0.2.3_eu and 1.0.2.6_eu and the only differences are these parameters :
0 pa2gw1a0=0x1b18
0 pa2gw2a0=0xfa47
0 pa2gw1a1=0x1a34
0 pa2gw2a1=0xfa24
does anyone know what they mean?
