Is over heating a defect issue?

Yeah this. I just played 7 hours on splatoon in dock mode.

Pic of your switch anon, to check for melted plastic. Doesn't happen for mine. Worst that happens was that it's a bit warm

>>384759213
Yea. It's probably a heat dissipation problem. Can you post your set up? It should be in a clear area

>>384759096
Is this the pretendo thread?

>>384759096

If you're not bullshitting, the only part that sounds bad is the smell of burning plastic. It gets hot naturally at the vent and back.

>>384759096
I remember my Switch's fans going insane when playing the splatfest.

>>384759315
This. Post your setup. Should be well ventilated

>Things that didn't happen

do you hear the fan when you play?

with ARMS and splatoon my fan gets somewhat loud, but because of this it never really gets hot

I guess it's more like a hot glue gun smell. Like that heat and plastic smell.

I have a screen protector on it, could it be that?

>>384759161
This. I've played 100+ hours in docked mode and its never been more than warm

>>384759259
When you put the switch into the dock it overclocks itself to put out a bit more power

>>384759096
Can someone tell me why the front plastic part of the dock is necessary? Why is it important to hide the screen? Why can't it just turn the screen on and display a clock or some shit?

is there a cross section of what the dock looks like inside?

maybe you could cut the unnecessary plastic parts and give the switch room to breath.

>>384759416
Shouldn't be. Unless you applied it incorrectly. Do post your setup though. Is it very near your TV or on top of something?

>>384759510
It is to stabilize the switch so the console doesn't tip over

>>384759161

>>384759510
It's to provide more presence for the dock so that normies don't think they're buying just a handheld, that's why Nintendo doesn't really care that people are making 3rd party travel docks

>>384759510
BECAUSE WHAT ABOUT THE SATISFYING CLICK?

>>384759553
It's in an open area. Even in handheld mode it gets pretty warm.

>>384760356
??? It's true. It applies for every console ever. /v/ is full of falseflaggers that fish for (You)s

>>384759259
He's talking about the console itself you fucking moron. Just like >>384759476 said it uses more power when in the dock, so naturally it uses more power and generated more heat.

You didn't fucking think of something like that especially how there are all these games that boost resolution/graphical quality when in the dock?

>>384760149
The failure rate is pretty low it's just there's people out there actively searching for any failure video so that they can blow it out of proportion. I haven't heard anything since launch desu

>>384760354

nvidia housefire was not a joke you know.

>>384760735
you're supposed to react like something ridiculously disgusting is about to happen (like she's actually going to tear her finger off)

then when they post the second image, you react in pure unadulterated amazement. The new version of the meme she actually does tear her finger off.

That is the whole meme.

Yeah, it can get hot. Shouldn't be a problem. I think someone tested it and while it does get hot, it doesn't get much hotter than modern phones so it should be fine.

>>384760765
She's faking it

>>384760719
Yea, it's made of plastic which scratches easily.

Smartphones dont scratch as easily cuz they use screens with diamond sapphire glass or sum shit but the switch wont shatter when you drop it.

>>384764680
So if you don't the console or actively try to break it, you don't need a screen protector?

>>384759096
It cannot get hotter than 65C, most C/GPUs are fine running at 105C.

>>384760765
Betcha can't do it twice.

>>384759096
I played my Switch for about 9-10 hours docked on BotW then was rushed to the vets with my dog and left it running for probaby another 12 hours or so. Literally no issues and I was paranoid about the bending so I checked and it's fine. I reckon the over heating issues involve faulty fans

>>384760841
>non-plastic screen

This was an intentional choice by Nintendo though and not skimping measures. Glass and kids don't mix well

>>384769073
Who owned a vita?

>>384769073

No kids even bought it and you underestimate how many people have cracked phone screens.

>>384769073
The Vita is plastic though and I can guarantee a good number of people have cut themselves on glass phone screens

do you have any idea how many japanese children have a vita? fuckloads. loads of fuck.

>>384769234
And the screen is plastic so they dont have to worry about cutting themselves. Glass on handhelds is retarded

>Not only that, but the place where you insert the game cart was slanted slightly on the inside, making it push in weird

I guess that's just launch quality for you. I should have listened to myself and not bought it at launch, but I was worried about stock issues.

>>384768839
Wrong, Nintendo went with plastic screen because it was cheaper. Kiketendo strikes again

>>384769289
Yeah I'm sure they were so worried about saving a dollar per switch

>>384769289
Plastic also doesn't crack nearly as easy as glass.

dude why
literally why.

>>384769640
Do that even do anything?

>>384759326
That's exactly the problem. Sometimes the Switch goes insane and overclocks more than it should and fans go crazy and shit.

You have to put it in Sleep mode then turn it on again.

>>384770873
cool the plastic, in theory. Not really too useful since the switch is so plastic it'll still deform in the inside, cooling phones with fans is a thing because of glass paneling heating and retaining heat significantly longer than plastic.

The top right of mine is a bit bent it was like that out of the box but theres no major defects apart from that it works just fine

Holy shit nighttime is terrifying.

>>384769361
Do you have any idea how much that would save?
Of course it was a cost saving measure, The Switch is filled with them.

>>384769073
>thinking it's about danger, not the kid's fucking up the screen
I've seen countless broken screen phones in the wild, I'm sure one of the primary purposes was to avoid that sort of nonsense.

>>384760646
Implying I dont have an industrial fan blowing at the switch during the hot portion of the day.

Also you nigs can open the back of the dock so the vent slit gets more circulation.

If you're really concerned you can probably just buy some mini USB powered fans and attach them to the back and use the USB ports.

>>384772597
the vent slit is on top of the console, next to the game card, what's in the back are the audio outputs dumbass
