MSM8998 Clock/speedbin overclock help

Copied from one of my XDA posts. I didnt get any help there. But heres the issue, for msm 8998, I want to overclock the big cores more than 2592mhz.

Probably a little badly worded since here people know more of what they are doing haha

Alright whats up guys. I need help. Ive been trying for the past few days after school to get higher overclocks on the big cores. Overclocks above 2592mhz. Dont ask "why would you want that" and questions like that. Its simply because I want to but I need help. Im lost.
Here are all of the speed bins for my kernel right now.

File im in if you didnt already know, Source/arch/arm/boot/dts/qcom/msm8998-v2.dtsi

The little cores are easy to overclock because we can copy data from the big cluster. But the big cluster can only be overclocked because the data is already there to increase the speed to 2592, you can check the stock kernel and youll see what I mean.
To get it past 2592, we need to figure out what to add and thats where im lost.
@flar2 has mentioned frequency rounding before which is confusing to me.

My main issue right now is the second and third column in the speedbins, I cant figure out what they do or what I need to add for another freq step.

Any changes I try cause what others and I call "slow boot" where the phone goes to Sh*t. Performance dies, booting is in slow motion. Apps dont recognize any cpu cores or freqs and yeah its no good.

Any help would be appreciated. I can always build and test easily.

Ive been stumped on this for a while and It would be nice to get big core overclocks

Stock kernel for the device (oneplus 5)

It sounds like you're hitting speed limits.

Things are possible in theory, which are not possible in practise. You're limited by many hardware factors. A design decision about speed is usually taken fairly early on, and the hardware design done with that in mind. It sounds like they aimed for 2.5Ghz, missed, and detuned slightly.

Nobody wants to sell a 2.45 Ghz cpu if he can sell a 3Ghz one by clocking it faster. Back in the '90s I overclocked an AMD I586-133Mhz. It ran at 160Mhz without issue (=33Mhz --> 40Mhz on the bus, multiplied by four), but that is the exception rather than the rule. Modern chips are already running much closer to the physical device limits.

But you want to do this. So do it. You can go faster until things go wrong. That thing has a standard 2.45 Ghz clock, doesn't it? I doubt if you'll get 20% speed improvement; 10% is the max I would try for. Discover where the limit is and stay below it.

It's not that. To get an overclock with the big closer I need the right info for the second and third column. It can go higher. This is for a Snapdragon 835.
Little cluster is overclock to 2112mhz and big to 2592 using the provided speeds. Stock is 1900/2457

This is your desire, your work, and your loss when it doesn't work, Remember that.

The 1st column on your files looks like a decimal number (speed?) the other two look like hex numbers. I'd work out the difference in speeds and register settings, and try to calculate settings for your speed and several lesser intermediate points. Increment up the intermediate points, so if you hit difficulties at e.g. 2.4G instead of 2.592G you will find it and can increment back. Each chip off the Assembly line can have different physical limits. Heat can also be a problem.

Can you afford to throw this away when/if it blows? If not, stop now. Have fun, and tell us whet you finally manage to do.
