- Nintendo Switch 2 users report overheating problems in portable and moored modes
- He arrives in the middle of the recent controversies of Nintendo surrounding his new Switch 2 device
- This would happen even when you play less demanding games
It is not a secret for anyone that Nintendo has been at the center of the controversy since the announcement of the game prices of $ 80, as well as recent conclusions around its new Switch 2 display and its ghost problems. However, the problems of pocket computers apparently do not stop there.
As highlighted by Notebookcheck, several users report overheating problems with the Nintendo Switch 2, even by playing less demanding games. In particular, most of the reports suggest that overheating occurs when using the switch 2, a vital component that allows users to play on external screens and provides more power for improved performance.
A plethora of Redditors expressed his frustrations with the lack of ventilation of the SWITK 2 Docking despite an integrated fan. The latter is not designed to cool switch 2, but rather the quay.
Others also highlight higher temperatures when using its Ethernet port, to the point where the pocket computer and its accessory are too hot to touch, and the output of the display ends despite the console still running.
Nintendo suggests putting aside the console to cool down and ensuring that the ventilation mouths of the pocket computer are not obstructed – but frankly, it is hardly a solution to eliminate overheating supposed.
Switching 2 overheating. Switch
It is not only the quay alone; Users also report that the device displays a warning message before passing the sleep mode when it is not wrapped. This seems to be the way in which the dragonfly system, but instead, it does not make it playable during rest.
This is a worrying sign for owners of Switch 2. If these problems become more widespread, it would certainly replace concerns about the quality of the display.
Analysis: I hope this is not a more important problem than I think …
It is not uncommon to hear reports on overheating with new equipment. I became quite used to him, with new GPU launches, and (more relevant) the first SD card reports overheat in the ally Asus Rog.
Since this is a similar problem, it seems that Nintendo could be able to address a software update, similar to what ASUS has done. However, there is no guarantee that this will lead to a resolution. He also arrives at a bad time for Switch 2, given his recent controversies.
This is the worst absolute case for a new owner of the portable console, in particular at $ 449.99 / £ 395.99 / $ 699.95 at the price; It should also be noted that the original switch has seen an increase in prices in certain regions, so it’s not exactly a good time for these overheating reports to emerge.
If the platform happens to be a detriment of the cooling of the Switch 2, I doubt that any software update can solve the problem. There is also a lack of compatibility with third party quays, so if you are faced with these temperature problems, there is not many solution for the moment.
Let’s just hope that Nintendo is not going to solve this problem before it becomes uncontrollable …
