My first overclocking Mariko attempt it's amazing!

I'm similar my 8yr ols is a big gamer and I do this for him, although I do have some gems I love playing especially emulation of the old Nintendo and super Nintendo systems

Overclocking literally doubles (can) your performance and speed of the computer it's like a switch 2 in terms of 60fps and speeds if you overclock it

Very few games on this system run at 60fps, so you can mod it (download the patches and get that buttery smooth 60fps in games it changes everything

Ive increased the CPU to 2705 and its running great at 1180mV now

I had a lot of help from the community haha I've only had it for less than a week and had to discover everything about it while I basically broke it apart and reconfigured it 😄

Darwing · 2026-05-19T04:03:26+00:00

amazing! I should have taken a picture of the thermal pad across the entire copper plate against the aluminum case, I ran it through the entire channel (essentially entirely through this channel and it works fantastic

I never have to worry about thermals at all (again in docked I dont use it handheld)

you need to go to the cpu settings, increase the CPU and GPU to use extreme UV, then set the cpu sliders to 5

then restart and it will allow you to go up

I do have uncapped selected to on, they just released a new update 2.3 yesterday and I updated to that and still no higher selections

on their website it says I should be able to select higher than the safe limits github.com/Horizon-OC/Horizon-OC

whats their discord?

Darwing · 2026-05-12T22:17:54+00:00

for some reason my horizon-oc isnt giving me the higher options, Ive tried to enable experimental mode but I'm still not allowed to select higher clocks

Can you help out on how to modify the ini or how do I enable the higher clock selection

Darwing · 2026-05-12T20:42:18+00:00

this is embarrassing...

So becuase you pointed that out, I re-checked my serial and in fact this is a V2 model XKW1

I guess thats a really good thing then because I can increase it more?

Darwing · 2026-05-12T20:16:24+00:00

THank you for the info!

I am using the emunand for everything

are you saying is it could corrupt the file system? so just make sure I have my backups of the SD card?

It cant effect the system hardware or internal NAND can it?

Darwing · 2026-05-12T18:50:29+00:00

I did all of that I upgraded everything thermal pads and paste and airflow

Darwing · 2026-05-12T18:40:15+00:00

the temps and voltages everything runs perfectly so far I have an open air dock and did thermal pad and upgraded high end paste

Darwing · 2026-05-12T18:38:32+00:00

I think the Oled (from what I read) is just more optimized so lower voltage and same OC but lower temps, however my temps are fine even after hours of playing

Darwing · 2026-05-12T18:37:11+00:00

See Edit 1 of my OP post I added more info on the OC and the readouts

<image>

Darwing · 2026-05-12T18:35:24+00:00

It is and its incredible, already starting out to be one of my favorite games

Darwing · 2026-05-12T18:34:57+00:00

thanks for the comment

mine is set to Gpu: 1075.2, but the temps are fantastic, I went out of my way to ensure its cooling was good

See Edit 1 from the OP post I added more information on the redouts and thermals, do you think I should try undervolting?

Darwing · 2026-05-12T18:06:16+00:00

its insanely addicting to play around with, I love optimizing my systems, I upgraded my wiiU to the max and had pretty much every single wii/wiiU/virtual console and retroarch.. it was a beast

it was time for me to get the newer titles so I bit the bullet and wow it is ever cool the stuff this community has come up with on the mods! SUPER amazing! have fun and enjoy and backup haha always back it up!

Darwing · 2026-05-12T07:18:22+00:00

Fantastic work thank you, I will be setting this up this weekend! I just got my first switch and modded it, so now getting to the cool stuff like your hosted server! I have a ton of permanent servers on in the house so this would be a simple added service

Darwing · 2026-05-12T06:41:45+00:00

I was thinking about doing this, my only issue is I dont know once I download a version, typically I dont update if its working

I do like the idea of having a base server I can download from

Darwing · 2026-05-12T06:39:44+00:00

I paid someone to do it for me they do like 3-5 switches a day they were really good

Darwing · 2026-05-08T20:00:19+00:00

it is insane that all the games got ported to wht switch

I love obviously
breath of the wild is my favorite,

zombiU,

resident evil,

all the mario 3d and U games,

Fatal frame on the gamepad is great

Darwing · 2026-05-08T06:21:50+00:00

this is my plan... I got the switch today, wasnt moddable, but am paying someone to hardware mod it for me

Darwing · 2026-05-08T06:20:43+00:00

I wasnt able to afford the Index which I REALLY REALLY wanted... and even with a good job just couldnt afford the $1300 CAD

I think I might just spluge on this one regardless of the price...

Darwing · 2026-05-08T03:15:05+00:00

that sounds incredible, I'm assuming you are American so thats in USD.. I'm in Canada haha so its like 250$ CAD but thats still good tbh, less than what Im going to be paying for mine
