From the knowledge gained from ina tests and math, the pmic limits have been busted. Raising the limits to 1305 (max supported by dvfs tables) is quite reasonable. Up to 1420MHz gpu is theoretically below pmic limits even on terrible binning. CPU limits remaing unchanged due to voltage concerns.
⚠️ Disclaimer
THIS TOOL CAN BE DANGEROUS IF MISUSED. PROCEED WITH CAUTION. Due to the design of Horizon OS, overclocking RAM can cause NAND OR SD CORRUPTION. Ensure you have a full NAND, PROINFO, EMUMMC and SD backup before proceeding.
About
Horizon OC is an open-source overclocking tool for Nintendo Switch consoles running Atmosphere custom firmware. It enables advanced CPU, GPU, and RAM tuning with user-friendly configuration tools.
Default clocks
- CPU: Up to 1963MHz (Mariko) / 1785MHz (Erista)
- GPU: Up to 1075MHz (Mariko) / 921MHz (Erista)
- RAM: Up to 1866/2133MHz (Mariko) / 1600MHz (Erista)
- Over/undervolting support
- Built-in configurator
- Compatible with most homebrew
It is recommended to read the guide before proceeding, as this can help you get a significant performance boost over the default settings, often times with less power draw and heat output
Installation
-
Ensure you have the latest versions of
-
Download and extract the Horizon OC Package to the root of your SD card.
-
If using Hekate, edit
hekate_ipl.inito include:kip1=atmosphere/kips/hoc.kip secmon=atmosphere/exosphere.bin(No changes needed if using fusee.)
Configuration
- Open the Horizon OC Overlay
- Open the settings menu
- Adjust your overclocking settings as desired. A helpful guide can be found here.
- Click Save KIP Settings to apply your configuration.

- On Mariko, cap with hiOpt is 614MHz, with hiOpt-15mV it is 691MHz and with High UV it's 768MHz
- Clocks higher than 768MHz on erista need the official charger is plugged in.
