Hacking Question How safe is overclocking the Nintendo Switch?

[Chocola]

hehe perfectly fine. I used MX4. I also put on the copper pipe.

I use the same thermal paste and works like a charm, about the fake cooper sticker, you remove it or atleast change the paste between the SoC and sticker too?

I have the whole bottom of the motherboard with thermal paste on all chips... Top motherboard I have cooling on storage chip, memory chips directly to backplate (thrown in the garbage the whole aluminum SOC/memory cover). Only use the console portable, never even tried the dock since day one for years...

Now the fans barely kick in even playing the witcher 3 and just going to main menu with the game open the fans start to spin down in just a few seconds... (Used arctic MX-5 on SOC, memory pads from a old GPU on top of the memories + a bit of MX-5 on top, lots of MX-4 everywhere else in HUGE mess specially all over the copper pipe )

Did anyone ever had problems with OC??

ps: I'm also thinking to cut the backplate, just a square on top of the SOC copper pipe and add a slim all copper memory cooler with small fins for maximum cooling
