Switch overclocking suite for Nintendo Switch devices running Atmosphere CFW.

What's included:

• Atmosphere
• Hekate
• Sigpatches
• Switch OC Suite
• SaltyNX
• FPSLocker
• ReverseNX-RT
• InfoNX
• Uberhand-Overlay
• Status Monitor
• DBI
• Tinfoil

Warning: 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

Make backup and delete everything except "Nintendo" and "emuMMC" folders on the SD card.

Unpack the NX Venom to the root of the SD card. Use a card reader, or "Hekate" > "Tools" > "USB Tools".

Use the "All-in-One Switch Updater" homebrew application for updates.

Installation of additional software, as well as patches for games, is done through the "UberHand" menu (click right) > "Software Installer".
