So I tried repasting my switch twice, both with Arctic mx 4, I feel as though the first time performed better than the 1st, the 2nd time I actually removed that copper shim.
Today when I tried TOTK docked with FPS locker, fully ocd(memory 1862 and the rest are max using suite oc), my switch hit 65° within a couple of minutes and even without FPS locker and just memory OC, the Switch docked reaches around 60°.
I read posts about thermals and mine never match the lower end spectrum, not even by a close margin, could it be a was just dealt a bad hand (lottery), I even went to the point of replacing my fan since a few months ago when I tired oc during Mario Oddyesy, I noticed that the Temps were climbing and even though Status monitor showed that the fan is at 100%, it made no noise and the Temps kept going up without stopping, I ofc stopped it when it reached around 65°.

Did you change the thermal paste under the shield? Seem most videos and guides etc never change that. It's the paste closest to the Nvidia chip.

I replaced on the SOC, a layer above the SOC and between the heatsink and metal plate, I made sure to research well before doing so as I like my systems running optimally.

Hmm well, if it doesn't crash, it should be fine.
I'm just a bit miffed about it saying 100% fan speed but you say the fan isn't on?

After replacing it, it working, before replacing it, the fan was getting cut off when it reached around 85%.
Weirdly, today when the Temps got up to 65, the fan speed showed as around 45 so I'm not sure what's going on..

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s

  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
