Given that Mariko Switches can be overclocked past the 1.75GHZ and 921MHZ limits on Erista Switches is it possible for Breath of the Wild to run at a semi-stable 60fps in handheld mode?
Is it realistically possible for BotW to run at 60fps on Mariko Switches?

they obviously just had woken it from sleep mode hence why the temperature was steadily risingDamn that temps are nice... Lucky bastards
Yep, that's for sure but the stable temps will always be much better than my original Switch
Anyway I fully modded mine, but I think the temperature will be close to stock the difference is now that the fans barely work so the more I cool it the less the fan works too but will probably make a considerable difference in battery power though I never tested it and barely even used the switch...
wrong, only Erista can be considered dangeous, as it is already passing the 18W mark with 1785/921. Going over that will kill your console for sure.
Meanwhile a Mariko unit can do 2193/1305 without any issues, the console doesn't get considerely hot or draws more than 18W.
the battery might not like it, but the SOC would do fine. the stock tegra x1 in the nvidia shield runs at 1.9ghz, and can be overclocked (my shield is) to 2.1ghz.
people really think the switch is going to explode, it isn't. just dont run the clocks on battery.
you can really tell the people who have zero clue what they are talking about when they compare the switch to other devices. it goes beyond the battery
Is it truly dangerous for Erista to be at 1785/921? (while charging)
I find this hard to believe.
It's supposed to force the delivered power that the dock can supply, also the temps even if not too hot for the soc it can be for the battery.
It can damage the hardware (in the long run) if you pass 18W power draw. But that of course is depending on the game you are playing. I would say, as long as you are not losing battery while playing you should be fine, if you do lose battery (even slowly), go down with the CPU/GPU clock.
I'd like to know what part of the charging circuit that prevents it from being used for a longer period of time. All I can say is that its not the SOC (since its the same as the shield 2015/2017), and not the heatsink (as if you never seen the heatsink/fan of the shield TV, then youd know the switch wouldn't have the same kind of problem.
I follow multiple youtubers with older models, that have run emulation from wii to gamecube clocking at 2ghz constantly(docked).
Its not dangerous, none have had hardware replacements, the rumours are spread by people with mariko models imo. Ive overclocked a chunk myself to zero issues. Release day model. Mariko might handle it better, but since release no specimen has popped up that has shat itself due to overclocks, in the existence of the 6 year market, therefore Its not something Id worry on.
Like any piece of hardware the more work it does the more its lifespan consumption decreases. The switches lifespan as a tablet is enormous though even with overclocks(according to one of the main devs 24hours daily would net you 5-6 years). So will the lifespan be reduced to a degree? Sure, so will a mariko unit, although theirs is probably slightly greater to begin with. Are you going to damage any components? No. If you want to give yourself more piece of mind, try and find an example of an overclocked hardware unit online with hardware damage, a thread/topic or youtube video anything. They don’t exist.

Android is an entirely different OS and the CPU doesn't run at a fixed speed, and will throttle if it gets too hot, that's not the case for the Switch.
I wouldn't say "dangerous" but at that point you are already pushing the limits. its only a real issue if you are the kind of person constantly leaving it at max clocks for no other reason than "because I can" most games don't even need it that high even with 60FPS mods. people also like to set basically "fake" overclocks that arnt even actually set but since they don't know jack shit about what they are doing they think otherwise and do nothing more than increase stress and heat for no benefit. then you have the people that try to use the logic of "well this other device does this so the switch must too" which just falls into the beyond misinformed area

Its not charging or no charging it makes no difference. Now yes, battery will get damaged but honestly 921 already goes over the limits of the consoles rated power draw (18W).
1.7 921 from what ive seen on my console has drawn 25+ watts with some mods, and shin megami tensei V can draw 19 watts at 921. The problem is that your consoles lifespan will be reduced greatly, and the power lanes will burn up if too much power is drawn
While the TX1 is rated for that, The problem is that the switch TX1 is not equivalent to the Nvidia shield. Also the switch just is not made for that type of power draw. Mariko (TX1+) due to it drawing substancially less power can go higher.
