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
Well, it depends what you may consider hot.Trigger Warning
ew ReiNX
Also, isn't switch overheating half of the time anyways? i play botw even on normal ofw and the console would get very hot
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.After about 45 mins to a hour

If the console still functions normally, it's not overheating.Trigger Warning

same hereWell, 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.
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 stripI'm itching to re-paste my Switch with some Grizzly Kryonaut, how hard is it to open up the Switch to access the heatsink?
@Indigo Marz few questions:
1. Does it overheat on different games or just on one in particular?
Mario + Rabbids, in handheld mode
2. Is the location you are playing in already kinda warm?
AC on full blast
3. Do you have proper ventilation around the system?
Yes i have it in the "leather" folding case that can sit up like a stand
4. Does it still overheat while playing on stock firmware without CFW running?
I haven't encountered this until i started playing nsp files on cfw, even when i used to play zelda like hell it never cut off on my from overheating. The shit got hot but not to this extreme
