# Switch OC Suite
[![License: GPL v2](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-GPL_v2-blue.svg)](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.en.html)
Overclocking suite for Horizon OS (HOS) running on Atmosphere CFW.
## DISCLAIMER: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
- Overclocking in general will shorten the lifespan of some hardware components.
- Due to HorizonOS design, instabilities from unsafe RAM clocks may cause filesystem corruption. **Always make backup before usage.**
## Features
- Erista variant (HAC-001)
- DRAM Overclock
- Safe: 1862.4 MHz
- Unsafe:
- DRAM bus overvolting
- Modded sys-clk and ReverseNX-RT
- CPU & GPU frequency governor (Experimental)
- Fast-charging (2A) toggle, set charge limit (20% - 100%)
- Global Profile
- Sync ReverseNX Mode
- Mariko variant (HAC-001-01, HDH-001, HEG-001)
- CPU / GPU Overclock
- Safe: 1963 / 921 MHz
- Unsafe:
- Enable "Allow Unsafe Frequencies" in overlay to unlock frequencies up to 2397 / 1305 MHz
- See [README for sys-clk-OC](https://github.com/KazushiMe/Switch-OC-Suite/blob/master/Source/sys-clk-OC/README.md)
- DRAM Overclock
- Safe: 1996.8 MHz with built-in timing adjustment
- Unsafe:
- [DRAM bus overvolting](https://gist.github.com/KazushiMe/6bb0fcbefe0e03b1274079522516d56d).
- Modded sys-clk and ReverseNX-RT
- Auto CPU Boost
- CPU & GPU frequency governor (Experimental)
- Fast-charging (2A) toggle, set charge limit (20% - 100%)
- Global Profile
- Sync ReverseNX Mode
- Auto CPU Boost
- For faster game loading
- Enable CPU Boost (1785 MHz) when CPU Core#3 (System Core) is stressed (mainly I/O operations).
- Effective only when charger is connected.
- CPU & GPU frequency governor (Experimental)
- Adjust frequency based on load. Might decrease power draw but can introduce stutters. Can be turned off for specific titles.
- Fast-charging (2A) toggle, set charge limit (20% - 100%)
- Long-term use of charge limit may render the battery gauge inaccurate. Performing full cycles could help recalibration, or try [battery_desync_fix_nx](https://github.com/CTCaer/battery_desync_fix_nx).
- Global profile
- Designated a dummy title id `0xA111111111111111`.
- Priority: "Temp overrides" > "Application profile" > "Global profile" > "System default".
- Sync ReverseNX Mode
- No need to change clocks manually after toggling modes in ReverseNX (-RT and -Tool)
- **[System Settings (Optional)](https://github.com/KazushiMe/Switch-OC-Suite/blob/master/system_settings.md)**
## Installation
1. Download latest [release](https://github.com/KazushiMe/Switch-OC-Suite/releases/latest).
2. Copy all files in `SdOut` to the root of SD card.
3. Grab `x.x.x_loader.kip` for your Atmosphere version, rename it to `loader.kip` and place it in `/atmosphere/kips/`.
4. Customization via [online loader configurator](https://kazushime.github.io/Switch-OC-Suite/):
<details>
| Defaults | Mariko | Erista |
| ---------- | ------------- | ------------ |
| CPU OC | 2397 MHz Max | Disabled |
| CPU Boost | 1785 MHz | N/A |
| CPU Volt | 1220 mV Max | Disabled |
| GPU OC | 1305 MHz Max | N/A |
| RAM OC | 1996 MHz Max | 1862 MHz Max |
| RAM Volt | N/A | Disabled |
| RAM Timing | Auto-Adjusted | Disabled |
</details>
5. Hekate-ipl bootloader Only
- Add `kip1=atmosphere/kips/loader.kip` to boot entry section in `bootloader/hekate_ipl.ini`.
<details>
<summary>Deprecated: patching sysmodules manually</summary>
This method is only served as reference as it could damage your MMC file system if not handled properly.
Patched sysmodules would be persistent until pcv or ptm was updated in new HOS (normally in `x.0.0`).
Tools:
- Lockpick_RCM
- TegraExplorer
- [hactool](https://github.com/SciresM/hactool)
- [nx2elf](https://github.com/shuffle2/nx2elf)
- elf2nso from [switch-tools](https://github.com/switchbrew/switch-tools/)
- [hacpack](https://github.com/The-4n/hacPack)
1. Dump `prod.keys` with Lockpick_RCM
2. Dump HOS firmware with TegraExplorer
3. Configure and run `test_patch.sh` to generate patched pcv & ptm sysmodules in nca
4. Replace nca in `SYSTEM:/Contents/registered/` with TegraExplorer
5. `ValidateAcidSignature()` should be stubbed to allow unsigned sysmodules to load (a.k.a. `loader_patch`)
</details>
## Build
<details>
Grab necessary patches from the repo, then compile sys-clk, ReverseNX-RT and Atmosphere loader with devkitpro.
If you are to install nro forwarders, stub `ValidateAcidSignature()` with `R_SUCCEED();` in `Atmosphere/stratosphere/loader/source/ldr_meta.cpp` to make them work again.
Uncompress the kip to make it work with configurator: `hactool -t kip1 Atmosphere/stratosphere/loader/out/nintendo_nx_arm64_armv8a/release/loader.kip --uncompress=./loader.kip`
