Discussion Switch overclocking released (improved N64 & PSX emu)

Wrong

Ofc this is a hack

It will be handled just like in Lakka..

Not related but we have a mitm service set up. It gonna be released independly.

Doesn't matter for CPU, its always 1020mhz.

 

I am sorry, but how do you install this libnx_retroarch_oc.diff? Diff?

 

Maybe soon i wait patiently

 

Never mind smash is already out on nsp and xci dont care for this anymore....sooo... amm *leaves quietly*

 

What actually is the top "safe" speed then, before heat-related issues start to crop up? Assuming the user hasn't put arctic silver on the processor.

I was attempting something similar a few weeks ago with PPC/apm: performance profiles, but I quickly realized that was the wrong approach to overclocking once pcv support was merged into libnx. The mitm API in libstratosphere REALLY needs documentation, so I kinda get why this is taking a while. Take your time.

An SDEV unit could be running at 1.224Ghz. I suppose that's irrelevant, though.

 

Protip: Don't overclock unless you thermal paste your Switch.

 

Did you already tested it?

 

Not the overclock, no... But docked and undocked, my temps stay low. I have Arctic Silver 5 on my Switch, and the fan never kicks on to high anymore. It CLEARLY helps with thermals.

 

To be honest, I'm not sure if redo'ing the thermal paste is needed for an overclock, but it certainly won't hurt because:

1. The thermal paste on the switch is low-quality and dries out after a year.
2. The people/machines putting it on are inconsistent or the paste has weird properties that aren't desirable, because 3/4 of my thermal paste was on top of the heatsink, not under it. There was also none in the center and it was crusty around the sides of the copper plate. Aside from that, it was stuck all over the shield, meaning they really did not apply it properly (e.g. center dot, spread)

In my case, I replaced the paste with MX-4 since I wasn't sure if the switch was safe to use a potentially capacitive paste on.

 

Does the oc run 24/7 or only when retroarch n64 is running?

 

oc is not officially out yet.

 

....Clearly refering to this patch limited people have right now.

 

switch overclocking coming; improved n64, psx emu

 

Can the overheating idiot meme die yet? The Switch overclocks the GPU way higher whenever it's docked, and m4's said that overclocking the GPU raises temps by a significant amount while OCing the CPU is almost unnoticeable.

Overclocking a component that produces way more heat is literally the hook of the system.

 

OC runs globaly under RA, so every core is benefied, OC smoothes other cores such 4do and Picodrive (32x) to archive full speeds

 

+1

 

+10

 

+20

 

Any reason everyones begging for this like it's not goin to get released officially????

 

You forgot free.

They always want free.
