Let's Overheat The Nintendo Switch!
Рет қаралды 783,196
Күн бұрынA lot has been said about the heat produced by the Nintendo Switch with some claiming temperature change when the Switch is in certain positions. In this video I test temperatures using a temperature probe to record how hot the chip gets in certain scenarios going as far as to purposely overheat the system to find the roof temperature.

He's referring to the intake ports, which is where cool air enters the system. Like you said, the large grill at the top of the console is the exhaust port where the hot air escapes. He's basically debunking people's assumptions that blocking the intake vents by lying the console down will make the console overheat.
@treymiller5736 7 жыл бұрын
CF YT back ports are intake it's hard for air to leave if hard to pull air in. The switch is underclocked the clock could be increased by 50% to be set to the normal clock speed but seems at suck clock rate Nintendo got worried about over heating

60c is actually pretty cool for any processor. My overclocked 7700k which is a high end desktop processor hits around 85c during stress tests. 100c is kinda the too hot temp for a processor when it will either thermal throttle or shut down but in a handheld device you want it to be bearable to hold... Long story short you really dont need to worry about the switch overheating to the point of damage. Yeah it may shut down but it will never damage itself unless you remove the cooler for some reason then yeah running at any more than 20 seconds or so it will most likely kill itself.
@CotyRiddle Жыл бұрын
that 7700k is a different beast with a different archetecture and smaller lithography. the tegra can safely operate up to 75 degrees. intels modern processors are rated up to 100 degrees and with useually throttle at 90 to 95. also the tegra is direct die coupled to the heatsink there is no integrated heat spreader if you dont count the stupid emi shield as one.

@CotyRiddle Жыл бұрын
it should by design help dissipate heat over time. as for it's effectiveness it's meh. probably would run cooler without that extra layer in there. I have removed *emi shields* before with no ill effects other than maybe nearby audio equioment picking up extra noise but if that is a problem then the audio equipment is not shielded very good it's self.

it might not overheat on its back but it will run hotter at the very least which shortens the life of the cooling system (especially fan lifespan), thermal paste and potentially other hardware components. Keeping the vents clear is good practice if you want electronics in general to last. I also would of found this test more useful if you raised your ambient as 21c isnt warm at all. We want it to survive hot summers, everyone knows PCs and consoles suffer heat issues in warmer seasons more often.

That's true, but the standard temperature ratings for components in consumer electronics is -40 to +85 C at minimum--and that's for their rated lifespan. Not to mention, most of the capacitors in the Switch are a couple inches away from the SoC and will be at least 5-10 C cooler than it.

lol That poor Switch, was cool to see the testing though! Glad somebody did it , always wondered what would happen if you left it on its back for a long time.

This is a launch model switch and the video was made 4 months after the system launched. All these years later, the thermal paste on my launch system is likely totally gone as it will get extremely hot doing something simple like minecraft.

I thought my Switch was the only one that had tried to leave me! Thank God someone else has had the same thing happen to them!

I love how your switch tried escaping at the start of the video the same way a hitch hiker would XD.

For the scans dock that's being used the cord is supposed to bend so that the system sits on top, this does not block the vent holes! Why does no one know of this??

nvidia tegra x1 doesnt even start throttling until zone1 reaches 89°C OR zone2 reaches 90.5°C. basically this thing is not going to overheat itself during normal use and even when hitting temperatures to cause it to turn off it is below the temperatures required to do damage to the hardware.

My jaw slightly droped when you removed the fan connector. Don't do it again hahahaha

The air vent is on the top of the Switch. The holes you pointed to on the back is where the speakers are.
@hispanicbaljeet4076 6 жыл бұрын
Mike Mayo thats a fan not a speaker. The speakers are the slits on the bezel of the switch.
@mikemayo4812 6 жыл бұрын
uh.. That's what I said. The fan blows air out of the vent on the top of the switch. The speakers are on the back. The guy in this video was pointing to the speakers. That's not where the fan is.

Think about it for a second. If the fan is where he said they are, the vents would be covered when it is docked decreasing the efficiency of it.

ROFL!! What killed me at the beginning was when the system had one Joycon halfway off like the modeling pictures.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 managed to scare me the other day. I played on my TV for about an hour and pulled it out of the dock and this was the first time I ever heard the switch fan panicking to cool the system. I was afraid that XC2 might be too much for the system at certain points. I think this because the game already has frame drops during serveral battles and while walking around map with many entities. If u wanna try for a thermal throttle, give XC2 a go. Yes thia game is long and i didnt notice heat problems until i made it to Gormott Province
