NX Venom is a pack that includes a whole bunch of tools and resources that will allow you to boost the performance of your console, including overclock support.

Of course overclocking your console is not without consequences, it presents a risk for your data, knowing that Horizon OS was not designed for this, and that it is advisable to do this only in emuMMC.

Warning

ATTENTION! Overclocking the console does not lead to irreversible consequences, however it poses a risk to data due to the features of Horizon OS. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to use overclocking exclusively in emuMMC and make backups. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Installation

  1. Make backup and delete everything exceptNintendoandemuMMCfolders on the SD card.
  2. Unpack theNX Venomto the root of the SD card. Use a card reader, orHekateToolsUSB Tools.
  3. Use theAll-in-One Switch Updaterhomebrew application for updates.
  4. Installation of additional software, as well as patches for games, is done through theUberHandmenu (clickright) →Software Installer.

How to use

  1. Opening theUberHandmenu (as well as exiting theStatus Monitor) by a combinationZR + ZL + Down.
  2. Use thesys-clk-ocoverlay to manage overclocking.
  3. Use theEOS Wizard(go to theUberHandmenu, press therightbutton) to change the parameters of the loading kip.
  4. The lower the acceleration parameters, the safer and the fewer side effects. Use wisely!
  5. Recommended overclocking parameters for portable mode and battery life: CPU1020 - 1428, GPU768 - 921, Mem Max.

EOS Wizard

Hardware Requirements

  • Nintendo Switch V1 (Erista)
  • Nintendo Switch V2 (Mariko)

Settings

  • CPU
    • Undervolt Mode: CPU energy efficiency management (Marico only)
    • Voltage Max: maximum CPU voltage, recommended 1235mV or below
    • Boost Clock: CPU frequency that affects the acceleration of loading screens in games
  • GPU
    • Undervolt Mode: GPU energy efficiency management (Marico only)
    • UV3 Table: custom voltage table (Marico only)
    • Voltage Offset: negative voltage offset value for gpu dynamic voltage calculation
    • Voltage Min: high RAM clocks will require gpu minimum voltage to be raised
  • RAM
    • Max Clock: memory frequency, recommended parameters range2133-2400for Mariko and1862 - 2131for Erista
    • Vdd2: supply voltage for the input buffers and core logic of a memory chip
    • Vddq: supply voltage to the output buffers of a memory chip (Marico only)
    • EMC DVB Shift: SoC voltage automatically gets raised with higher dram clock, shift number helps with stability at higher memory clock
    • Timings: timings increase performance, but may affect stability

Philosophy

The rule by which you need to be guided using console overclocking is the absence of side effects. The console should work without atmosphere errors, game crashes, shutdown due to overheating. Having achieved this result, you get a stable console, high performance in games and balanced power consumption.
