|
|
**I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE (NOR IS ANYONE ELSE) FOR ANYTHING THAT MIGHT HAPPEN TO YOUR CONSOLE** (bans, internal component failure, etc.) by installing OC Suite or tinkering software/hardware with any info from this repo.

|
|
|
|
#### Details
|
|
|
|
- **Overclock**
|
|
- **Safe CPU/GPU OC clock: 1963.5/1267.2 MHz**.
|
|
- Anything above that are not in the table of official module and are all wild guess.
|
|
- Max clock(2397.0/1344.0 MHz) may not work on some SoCs.
|
|
- **Recommended RAM clock: 1862.4 MHz**, **1795.2 MHz for Hynix** ones.
|
|
- **RAM clock is set permanently** via **ptm-patch**, rather than sys-clk.
|
|
- Use Hekate to check out the brand of your RAM chips.
|
|
- Proper EM shielding for RAM chips and testing with emuNAND before long-term usage is preferred.
|
|
- Once RAM overvolting is available on Mariko, we may gain more stability and reach higher clock.
|
|
- Mariko variants have much lower power consumption compared to Erista, therefore **GPU clock capping is lifted for Mariko**.
|
|
- For more info, see [README.md](https://github.com/KazushiMe/Switch-OC-Suite/tree/master/Source/sys-clk-OC) in sys-clk-OC.
|
|
- **Auto-Boost CPU for faster game loading**
|
|
- When a game launches or is in loading screen, sys-clk will boost CPU to 1963.5 MHz for ~10 seconds or until the loading screen ends.
|
|
- Some games don't utilize `SetCpuBoostMode` at all, e.g. Overcooked 2, so Auto-Boost will be unavailable to these games.
|
|
- To **disable this feature**, simply remove `boost_start.flag` and `boost.flag` in `/config/sys-clk/ `.
|
|
- **Fan Control Optimization** at high load
|
|
- Higher tolerable temperature and smoother fan curve. Set `holdable_tskin` to 56˚C. Previously it's set to 48˚C, so by default the fan would go crazy (80~100%) easily with a slight degree of OC.
|
|
- Replace crappy factory thermal paste is preferred.
|
|
- **Modded sys-clk and ReverseNX**(-Tools and -RT)
|
|
- **No need to change clocks manually** after toggling modes in ReverseNX
|
|
- Add `/config/sys-clk/downclock_dock.flag` to use handheld clocks in Docked mode when Handheld mode is set in ReverseNX.
|
|
- To **disable this feature**, use original version of ReverseNX-RT and delete `/config/sys-clk/ReverseNX_sync.flag`.
|
|
- Profile-aware clock override for all games
|
|
- Add `[A111111111111111]` title config in `/config/sys-clk/config.ini` to set frequency override globally:
|
|
```ini
|
|
[A111111111111111]
|
|
docked_cpu=
|

|
|
handheld_charging_official_cpu=
|
|
handheld_charging_official_gpu=
|
|
handheld_cpu=
|
|
handheld_gpu=
|
|
```
|
|
- Disable background services, less heat and power consumption in standby mode
|
|
- **Remove** the "Disable Background service" part in `/atmosphere/config/system_settings.ini` if you **use Nintendo Online services**.
|
|
- Game recording and SysDVR streaming @ 60fps with high video bitrate (7.5Mbps)
|
|
- (Recommended)[dvr-patches](https://github.com/exelix11/dvr-patches): Allow recording in any games.
|
|
- For optimal streaming experience, SysDVR via USB interface is recommended.
|
|
- Known Issues (won't fix)
|
|
- Game recordings may be less than 30 seconds if higher bitrate is used.
|
|
- It has noticeable performance impacts in demanding games.
|
|
- Video duration shown in album will be twice than the actual value, while the playback speed is not affected.
|
|
- To **disable** this feature, simply remove the `[am.debug]` section in `system_settings.ini`.
|
|
- Option to change the threshold for chargers providing enough power
|
|
- Find the string `enough_power_threshold_mw` in `system_settings.ini`. The default value is `0x9858` (39,000 mW).
|
|
- To lower the threshold, you may change the value to `0x4268` (17,000 mW). Now the system and "sys-clk" will see typical Power Delivery chargers that only supply up to 18W (9V/2A) as "Official Chargers".
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
- Modded `loader.kip` with embedded pcv, ptm, am-no-copyright, ValidateAcidSignature patches
|
|
- Prebuilt sys-clk-OC and ReverseNX-RT modified for OC
|
|
- `system-settings.ini` with some QoL improvements
|
|
|
|
1. **Restoring pcv backup if you have patched pcv module manually:** Launch the `patcher.te` script via TegraExplorer to restore your backup. Ptm and am-no-copyright patches can be removed.
|
|
|
|
2. Copy all the files in `SdOut` to the root of SD card.
|
|
|
|
3. Grab `x.x.x_loader_xxxx.x.kip` for your Atmosphere version and desired RAM frequency, rename it to `loader.kip` and place it in `/atmosphere/kips/`.
|
|
|
|
4. **Hekate-ipl bootloader:**
|
|
|
|
- Rename the kip to `loader.kip` and add `kip1=atmosphere/kips/loader.kip` in `bootloader/hekate_ipl.ini`
|
|
|
|
**Atmosphere Fusee bootloader:**
|
|
|
|
- Fusee will load any kips in `/atmosphere/kips/` automatically.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Build
|
|
|
|
Grab necessary patches from the repo, then compile sys-clk, ReverseNX-RT and Atmosphere with devkitpro.
