Hi,
I bought a Craig CMP741e tablet. It is supposed to be a 1.4ghz cpu, but it is underclocked at 1ghz. I tried to overclock it over 1.1ghz, but it crashes. I am wondering if I can put some thermal compound to the arm cpu and try overclock again. I haven't open up my tablet yet, I just want to ask you guy first beforehand to see if it worth my time to do it. Does Android tablet even have heatsink on their cpu? If not, no point of applying thermal compound?
Thanks.

In general, Android CPUs do not have heat sinks so there's no point in trying to apply thermal compound.
