"Possibly Patched" Switch

[Xytrophico]

So, a while back I considered hacking my Switch simply for the purpose of overclocking it. I've heard that you can definitely determine whether you have a patched unit if you enter RCM mode and attempt to inject a payload, and I was thinking about trying this. If the payload injection fails, will there be any side effects? Could it damage my system if I try injecting a payload into a patched unit?

Nothing bad will happen

It will either work, or it wont

No, if you try to inject a payload. Nothing happens.
