According to DOAlaboratories, senior XDA member and Android developer, there is now a CM7 compatible kernel available that can overclock your HTC Inspire 4G to a whooping 1.8 GHz. So far, this is the highest stable OC done to inspire 4G and we will be happy if the chip doesn’t roast after a day or two of consistent usage.
Here is the step by step guide to overclock your Inspire 4G to 1.8 GHz with CM 7 custom kernel:

• The first step is to make sure that you have root with CM 7 installed on your phone.
• Now connect your phone to the computer, download the overclocking kernel zip file from here [Mirror], and save it in your SD card root.
• Once done, reboot your phone in recovery and make a complete Nandroid backup.
• After this use onscreen recovery options to flash this kernel on your phone.
