Dang 178F did that hurt your hand when you touched the battery to take it out?I did a stress test of my own concoction just after overclocking was enabled, and I reached 174F before coming to the conclusion that the typical user would never see temps at this extreme. Trust me, you don't have to worry about baking your phone. It does far more damage to the battery to reach high temps than the CPU.
Basically just don't worry about it.
Exactly that's what I've been telling people too. I've gotten mine up to 178f while stress testing a 1.3GHz kernel I promptly turned it off and took out the battery when I noticed it. I usually don't get above 140 and I'm overclocked to 1.2GHz.

That 178F would be the CPU temp (81C) - NOT the battery temp. If the battery were at 81C, it would be a potentially explosive situation and highly dangerous. 81C is also too hot for the CPU core, which IIRC is rated at up to 75C.
In other words, typical OCing won't break a Droid.

What I meant was the cpu was 178 idk what the battery was. The first time that happened I was just charging via USB and a friend called and I picked up the phone and it was scorching hot and I was talking to her and the phone was burning my face lol the second time I didnt touch it, but when I saw it was at 178 I just turned it off and let it cool down.

I realize that, I just worded it incorrectly. Apparently the CPUs limit is about 220 before it gets fried.
