Switch Does anyone use a fan with the switch when docked

[Joshua Hill]

I've had mine since April and I've never had a fan on it. It's been amazing.

 

[Shiro Wolf]

Only when I'm playing for a long time

 

[Ryan Day]

Only once so far. But then again I don't use it in docked all that often.

 

[Robin Flowers]

Never thought to. But I will now!

 

[Branko Alois Stropnik]

No

 

[Lam Yoong Kit]

I use USB type-c (female) to type-c (male) cable to extend it out. No need docking.

 

[Joseph Loveland]

lol it's not necessary

 

[Derek Strickland]

If you're worried about temps, turn it off every 45 minutes or so and you should be fine.

 

[Jeff T Meklons]

why would you need too?

 

[Graham Clark]

I've spent 180 hours on botw while docked and I've never done that.

 

[Jesse Larue]

There are tons of reports coming up that it's getting to hot in handheld mode and actually bending. Here's a link to a video on it.

 

[David Culp]

Ive got at least 300 hours in docked mode and it never gets that hot.

 

[Erich Curry]

mines been heating up a bit lately after 5 minutes of game play while docked, im getting myself an inter cooler so I'll see if that helps, the bent switches may be due to warping from the heat...

 

[Juan Núñez]

I don't. But that's just because my fan doesn't have a port for the Switch or viceversa

says here we can expect a November release

 

[Logan Dorman]

Yeah. Usually got a fan blowing on me. Handheld mode too. Hot summer -.-

 

[Alan Leong]

No, its super hot that it bent my switch a little bit... i read online as well there are people 's switches being bent due to heat !! I bought one of there , seriously very good to replace the rubbish dock lol

 

[Neil Kelley]

Yup, because, why not? It was $5 and ensures fresh air to the back of the dock.. can't hurt.

 

[Derek Anthony Malone]

The switch only reaches 49 degrees Fahrenheit...

I've played splatoon at launch for about 9 hours straight and mario kart for close to 6 and never had a problem with over heating or warping
