Overclock your Xbox One

This was first posted in @dominater01 's discord and was discovered by Title OS

Enabling a basic overclock on your Xbox One
This was discovered by Title OS:
1) Download hwinit.overclock.gpucpu.cfg
2) Rename it to hwinit.cfg
3) put it on a usb drive under a folder named $SystemUpdate
4) plug the usb into your xbox
5) reboot

If you hear your xbox beep twice on boot up that means its working

hwinit.overclock.gpucpu.cfg : https://anonfiles.com/57J60cDdo2/hwinit.overclock.gpucpu_cfg

More info:
The file enables an overclocked mode controlled by a byte at 0x8 and can have a value between 0x01 - 0x58. File Magic: 0x1-0x58 - 4E,49,57,48,02.Unknown FF range.

No, just a beep during startup (when the green screen with the xbox logo is on) and that´s it.

I'm so intrigued by implications of this files existence. The file is obviously unencrypted if it can be hexed, showing all those zeros is a dead giveaway. So that means the Xbox is hard-coded to check USB ports at boot for Dev options in pre-designated file directories, for testing purposes. Does this remind anyone of the PS3? Maybe we can use a USB sniffer to see what it's looking for.

I actually did put this file+folder inside the root (U:) of the Xbox One hard drive (using My Files Explorer app).

Does that method also work?

yes definitely works and worth doing! My Xbox one Fat dose not beep but i can tell a difference in gameplay, warzone dose not hang and lag like it was. over all a much smother game play experience, the hard drive in use is a 5400Rpm hard drive so im kind of looking toward to throwing in a SSD and see if that makes a improvement on gameplay.

    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.

    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
