No man , recommended by all installers to put 3 lines on the heat sink on top.
After opening the switch i honestly dont know how this processor is being cooled, with the thermal paste on the caps not cpu, and blobs of paste everywhere
Cooling is only really done by the heat pipe. The top shielding is for interference. Nintendo just happens to double it's purpose as a crappy heat spreader (which is why you see that extremely low quality red paste on that layer).No man , recommended by all installers to put 3 lines on the heat sink on top.

I've been running this for a few weeks now. Shortly after my sxlite came in, July 20 something. I had the main interference shielding off for a few months since I have one of the smoke clear shells. But I only kept the SoC/Nand shield off after the installation of the SX Lite. There was no way for me to measure actual temps before hacking, so I have no real measurements to compare against.Good to know, so i can remove this crap and mount directly, that is way better and effient cooling totally
Might try that really, how long you been using it like that
ill decrease the paste going forward, i focused on the main chip a pea sized drop of artic.
TxswitchHello all,
Can you please tell me where to buy the sx core ?
It took me over an hour easily. I wasn't really timing it. I wouldn't be surprised if it was around an hour and a half.After installing an sx lite, how long does it take to create the Emunand? Is it as long as dumping the nand? Because that took a looong time, like 2+ hours
Contact @ModderFokker619 for part with installation. He’s in San Diego. Trusted and super nice guy!Any sx core reseller in US?
Need some help with my lite stuck on Boot.dat screen.
I installed the sx lite yesterday, it went well, I got the green light. I put the the latest sx os beta on my sd card, powered on the switch with the card inserted, updated the chip firmware then dumped the nand (which took a long time, over 2 hours).
Because it was late I decided to leave the creating Emunand part for today. So I powered off the switch, took the sd card out and copied the nand dump to my pc.
This morning I wanted to continue with the setup, but my switch shows the Boot.dat screen with the sd card inserted. Tried several times and I can't get past the screen. What can I try at this point?
My switch lite has the latest Nintendo fw version 10.1.0
Exfat drivers are installed
Sx lite updated to fw 1.3
Sx os latest beta 3.0.4
Sd card is Sandisk 128 GB formatted to FAT 32 with guiformat on pc
I had the same issue with an unpatched switch on the same SX os 3.0.4 and formatted to fat 32 using a software. It always shows that it’s corrupted when I plug to Macbook. The issue was with the SD card. I formatted to FAT using MacBook them went to win 10 and formatted to fat 32 then plugged back and made sure that MacBook reads it and it worked fine. Try it and see. I hope it worksNeed some help with my lite stuck on Boot.dat screen.

Just as I was going to reply, I tried again and it booted to SX menu. Creating Emunand as we speak, but it goes slowly (the dumping nand part).Can you test with another micro sd ?, h2testw the card ,inspect micro sd port, cap solder point, qsbs soldering , can you post pictures with the install ? try to boot with qsbs disconected from sx lite, if nothing works i can inspect for you and test with another sx lite if is the case.

I will see if the problem persists after I'm done with the emunand. I didn't take pictures of the install and I'd rather not open up the console if it can be avoided, but I can tell you that I protected the sd card slot with tape during the soldering and I checked after for solder splashes and there were none.
I will test the card with h2testw (I assume you mean the full test which takes a long time, right?) and I'll see if I can find another card also.
well the the write speed was around 27mb/s when I copied a big file on the card a couple of days ago (not using usb 3.0 reader because I don't have one)i test only 40000mb write/read to check if is a fake card, if you have time do the full test.
And i also check the write speed buy just copying a big file using usb 3.0 card reader, so if the card is rated 40 write speed and i get only 10mb/s i start to suspect fake card.

So i will say is not fake but can by foulty.well the the write speed was around 27mb/s when I copied a big file on the card a couple of days ago (not using usb 3.0 reader because I don't have one)
