Did the 768mhz mod require a whole new Atmosphere? No patch like the standard?
No, anything to much clocked will just make the Switch shutdown like any other device. It got overheat protection inbuilt.
Also... this makes me wanna play with liquid metal....

The system doesn’t get very hot with the 768mhz overclock, the fan gets pretty loud tho. The main concern is the battery
Ay, the battery will be drained faster. But that's a risk I'm willing to take. I mostly play next to my charger anyway
As a point heat from the system could damage the battery.Ay, the battery will be drained faster. But that's a risk I'm willing to take. I mostly play next to my charger anyway
The system doesn't seem to get very hot, but the fan does get significantly louder/faster
Agree with the fan. Also agree that the system doesnt seem to get very hot (probably due to the fan spinning faster). This is true even after playing a hour wolfenstein in 768 mhz, a game where gpu utilization is very high due to the 720p max resolution in handheld mode.

You mean that you clock the GPU higher if the Switch is plugged into a power source (not docked, just a charger plugged in)?
It's kinda sad that Nintendo didn't think of adding an additional performance profile for this possibility, but I guess they didn't want to make it more complicated for the developers. I remember them allowing a higher screen brightness on the 3DS when it was plugged in compared to when it was running on the battery, but that doesn't have any impact on the game performance of course.
Yes, the latest version I'm running clocks it at 768MHz if you're plugged in. If you're not, 537MHz. I feel more comfortable with it that way. Also, for anyone who PM'd me: I'm not ignoring ya. Just in the middle of something right now.
Seems like a good solution. I'm not running any Switch games on my homebrew Switch, just emulators, so I probably won't have much use for a GPU overclock, but I like the idea of using a bit more power in handheld mode when the Switch is running of a charger. ^^
Wonder if it possible to have a little OC on the CPU, maybe a 1,2ghz unplugged or 1,3ghz plugged. I've understood that the CPU can be OC without rises in temperatures or consumption, and a light OC can help a lot in games with bottleneck on the CPU side that causes framedrops in some games.
The issue with CPU overclocking though is that it can cause stability issues in some apps, 1.2ghz would probably be fine though.
I'd have to check it out further before I'd be willing to uncomment the code for it. It causes a lot of issues with games from what I've tested.

Or, I also heard that if you use flash memory, it can act as more "RAM" at least windows tell me when I stick a flash drive into it. -
