Looks like you have a PROBLEM, I think cleaning the vents out is the only thing you can do.
After about 45 mins to a hour
Vents are very clean
Fan cuts on when it wants but not when its needed, game is already hot by then

Perhaps your idea of overheating is everyone else’s idea of normal?
So you have soft, sensitive skin susceptible to warm surfaces?
If the system is “normal warm” and functions normally don’t worry about it?
Then your fan is probably going bad. Send it to nintendo ;/ Atleast your fan isnt running at 200% constantly.... I had that issue and had to send mine in...
Well, it depends what you may consider hot.
Mine also gets hot, to the point where it can be a bit annoying but it doesn't hurt.
It gets nowhere as hot as my PC GPU, in which case just touching the heatsink for a couple of seconds may result in a blister.
You would have to open the console to see if the vents are clean. Keep in mind that's the exhaust, so dust enters through the air vents in the back and come out the top, therefore dust would accumulate on the bottom of the heatsink where the air comes in.
If the console still functions normally, it's not overheating.
But the console does indeed get hot in docked mode. In handheld mode I haven't noticed much heat from it. You can get a fan that slots into your dock and looks completely stock, it's sold on eBay.

If the fan is working intermittently the it's probably a lose connector or damaged sensor. Have you tried taking the heat pipe off and seeing if there is a good amount of conductive grease on there? There are several layers of material transferring heat in there. Sound like you might need a repair.

That post is neither a troll nor sarcastic.
Good luck interacting with people and getting help with the paranoid incompetence you show. You have mental problems, too much pride and you shamefully don't stop a second to analyse and recognise that you err.
You don't give enough information and being aggressive with people that try to understand your problem will only make people avoid you and your idiocy.

Sometimes your switch does get hot in handheld mode if the game is graphically intensive enough (i.e Breath of the wild, splatoon and fortnite)
I'm itching to re-paste my Switch with some Grizzly Kryonaut, how hard is it to open up the Switch to access the heatsink?
Not hard at all. There's several YT vids that explain how to do it. A couple things to keep in mind tho. You only have to unscrew the middle screw on the joy-con rails, and remember to be careful with the screws because they're super easy to strip
@Indigo Marz few questions:
1. Does it overheat on different games or just on one in particular?
2. Is the location you are playing in already kinda warm?
3. Do you have proper ventilation around the system?
4. Does it still overheat while playing on stock firmware without CFW running?

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
-
@
Veho:
But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

@
Veho:
Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.

Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need -
