Not neccessarily - we can definitely do an OC to docked clocks without problems.
Keep in mind that the Switch is ridiculously cool in handheld mode - other devices like the GPD Win will get your hands sweaty, but it's still not dangerous to the chip

OC should be fine, it made the Vita sooo much better after overclocking. Sure the battery ran out faster, but games such as the Neptunia series lagged like it was no tomorrow until the OCs came about.
more stress to the battery due to
* more power drawn
* more heat (from SoC and from the batt itself)
This kind of hardware doesn't even need a fan to cool it, but it's nice that Nintendo put one in anyway to keep the SoC from getting toasty as modern mobile SoCs tend to do.
Good video, although the camera could be zoomed in on the TV.
I have my comment on Super Mario 64:
Is the HUD missing because of the widescreen hack, or is it an emulation bug?
Also you might not know this in terms of framerate test of Super Mario 64 as of this build.
Jolly Roger Bay and Dire Dire Docks are laggy areas to test out.

AutoRCM + Overclocking = Battery will last about 1hour max 
Next SX OS update incoming: overclocking support
Next SX OS update incoming: overclocking support

I am not sure OC is active in recovery mode at all.

Yeah i agree. You could already run n64 on old dualcores back when i was a kid. Overclocking is not needed for this but optimization is. Overclocking would be a lazy method of making it to work better
Overclocking will obviously have an impact on heat and battery life but at least its nice to have the option, and be able to play with N64 emulation until a dynamic recompiler is released. I'm all for more options :-) Besides I rarely have more than an hour at a time to play these days anyway lol
Not all N64 games will be fullspeed. But we didn't find a slowed down PSX title so far and many N64 titles reached a playable state and/or fullspeed
Overclocking a device that already has pretty shitty cooling, sounds like a brilliant plan.
The cooling is good, maybe your thermal paste doesn't make any good contact anymore, you should replace it.
If the overclock can take the handheld switch and upclock to docked-mode speeds, I don't see any overheating issues besides the typical "bend" and battery drain.
mmm overclocking the Switch.. yeah great idea with the Australian summer rapidly approaching where the ambient temperatures are usually in the 35-45 degrees Celsius range (95-113 farenheit for the antiquated Americans in the audience)
It seems like important bug fixes, like the black sky in goldeneye rarely get ported for some reason... One emulator will fix that bug, get ported, and the bug returns. It's VERY annoying.
You could swap Ninty out for nearly any laptop, smartphone, tablet manufacturer. I agree with you that its not a good idea to play with for FPS. Its something to play around with if you're curious about the switches limits and don't mind the risk.
This is not about getting GPU OC or docked clocks (in the first iteration)
This is only about OC'ing the CPU for now.
Framebuffer emulation. I have hard-disabled it because performance reasons. This is not a bug, this is for performance reasons.
In the Upstream builds its a core option still.
