True, even more funny because the switch port outperforms Xbox360 and PS3 in regards of libretro.Then you hadn't read enough.
Why would Nintendo make their console less powerful if not to mitigate heat damage to the switch's housing?The CPU has a base clock of 1.9Ghz.
So the switch CPU is heavily underclocked to begin with, it's lifespan wont be reduced.
Battery drain isn't much more on these clocks either, but I agree. This feels like cheating to me too

Why do you think that switches come from factory already bent? I'm sure during testing Nintendo saw how much the switch case was being warped and thus the decision to underclock the cpu to minimize damages ie. bending and cracking.
playtime doesn't answer the fact that switches come from factory already bent and also doesn't explain why switch's housing cracks.Because playtime
Why would it affect the battery that bad?
CPU OC does not affect any framerate in any game I've tested. It does affect loading times and general menu navigation around Horizon. Korok Forest doesn't feel any different, still get big framerate drops. Maybe GPU OC will offer better perf there though.
That's scary. Makes sense though, the Switch docked (and fully charged) can draw up to 11W (+ 1W when the JoyCons are being charged), in handheld mode the screen adds a lot of additional power consumption, it's unsure exactly how much but I would guess it can easily add another 5W. Not sure how much the battery is rated for, different batteries and different chemistries have different maximum power consumption ratings, but if the battery is getting warm when playing and not charging you know it's probably drawing too much and will shorten the battery life.Yes - FYI, Beware's battery is now swollen (and pushes the backplate) because of extensive use of OC in Lakka.
Yes, depending on how much you OC - 1.5GHz should be safe, 1.9GHz should not

No, not really. The fan will spin more to combat it.And yet, heat will still be an issue, thermal throttling, etc can't be good.

It doesn't really get any hotter on my tests.
If your switch gets crazy hot its most likely that their shitty default thermal paste isn't making good contact.
That's your choice, nothing wrong with it.Eh, I guess, probably won't bother for a while TBH.

From a technical standpoint there is no reason for fear at those clocks.
But cheating is cheating
Dynarec is not a optimization by definition.I'd rather the emulators get as optimized as much as possible, i.e dynarec, before resorting to overclocking. Seems a bit unnecessary, no?
I am a engineer, what can I say. My job is to make it work.Seems a bit unnecessary, no?

Go on then, write a dynarec and claim that bounty
To all the people whining that overclocking shouldn't be necessary and that emulators should be optimized instead : DO IT
A dynarec is 16k lines of code. Overclocking the console is a shitty 1kb IPS patch to change a constant in a system service.
I'd watch that.watch them switches catch fire or explode boy a $300 bomb/shit in a paper bag on fire would be fun to watch on YT all joking aside i worry about this
