I say works perfectly because no matter how long I play it, it keeps it cool. When I didn't have the fan it would get considerably warm.I really don't think these cracks and damages are caused by overheating, or heating of the plastic. This is probably something they would have seen in their QA's. Also, how do you know this works perfectly for you? Absence of cracks does not equate to proof of a solution.
Because Switches sometimes come out of the box pre-bent, in which proves that there's no proof for this. So unless Ninty is heating them before they leave the factory (which I guess isn't impossible, but again, QA should have figured this out), it's not caused by heating, or at least in the majority of cases.I say works perfectly because no matter how long I play it, it keeps it cool.

Also, something's has got to be causing the warping or bending. there's plenty of proof for that and if not heat then what?
just means they could have bent during testing. The bend is very slight on the majority so it's mostly unnoticeable.Because Switches sometimes come out of the box pre-bent, in which proves that there's no proof for this.

Then how do you tell the difference between something that was bent during testing and something that was bent due to heating?just means they could have bent during testing. The bend is very slight on the majority so it's mostly unnoticeable.
my family play it for hours now and it barely gets warm.the front screen on switch is only half glued iirc.
some ppl did experience the warping front screen with extensive docked play session.
the fan should help in some way i guess.
i have heard some ppl plug a usb-powered mini fan beside switch.my family play it for hours now and it barely gets warm.
bent console itself or just front panel curled up?I bought a usb c extender cable to keep my switch outside the dock.
Also doesn't heat up as much as it would, if it were inside the dock.
Switch is slightly bent, not sure if it was like that or bent over time.. but barely noticeable

thermal grizzly ftw.Best solution to avoid letting your chinese plastic crack is to properly re-apply the shitty factory thermal paste. The stock paste looks like someone sneezed on the heatsink and figured it would be enough to keep these devices from melting.
they said right side panel is poorly glued.If i place the switch on a flat surface, its a little uneven.. also the front screen panel is slightly lifting up at the bottom right.
But my tempered glass protector is keeping it straight.

This is my Switch cooling solution. Replaced the original Switch Dock with a small DIY Dock and my ceiling fan. And if it gets to hot in the room! I just turn off the ceiling fan and turn on the AC. So far so good... LolEver since the news of switches bending last year and now with the cracks I've always been concerned with overheating. This works perfectly for me. Anybody done something similar? Post your cooling solution.
I wasn't even aware that you could do this. I like this idea.
