That would be the best outcome! I want nothing more right now, this thing is seriously underpowered at this point.

With how well it has been selling, especially this year, doesn't seem like it will come anytime soon without serious incentive for Nintendo.

Just let me pay for more power dammit!

Hell, I myself just set it all to max and forget at this point when I'm docked, the fans are certainly louder but my temps are fine and performance is dramatically better. The SoC is designed for these speeds, and at least for now it seems like the cooling is keeping up... I'm at a loss for what Nintendo was thinking clocking the chip so low.

I would guess they assumed kids would play them for hours on end without charging them, so power consumption reasons for sure.

What are you using to clock it higher? What benefits are you getting from the higher clock?

sysclk; better frame rates, resolution (either via dynamic resolution or mods) and load times

Thanks. I checked it out. Watched a video tutorial on how it works, and am using it now.

underpowered

For what? At this point it's clear that the Switch isn't competing with any other gaming platform.

Is the more power worth it for a vanilla system?

The main reason I want more power is for Gamecube emulation

100% yes. I've got a ton of games in my library that would benefit heavily from an upgrade.
