Hi at all,

according to this eurogamer article, dev mode is 20% OC and safe. Why does ninty not use this on retail consoles?

https://www.eurogamer.net/digitalfoundry-2020-riva-tuner-for-switch-system-overlay-analysis

Which OC values are safe for Switch? Is it really worth it and will it make games noticeably smoother?

Best wishes.

Btw: I noticed my switch does not even hit 50 degrees Celsius in SOC when playing TOTK.
