After playing on my switch today I noticed it overheated, so I did some research and one of the things I could do is buy a fan for my switch. Even though it overheated in about 30 minuets to an hour.I didn’t get that message where the switch supposedly says it’s going to sleep mode. I’m wondering if buying a fan really matters though because as hot as the switch was, will buying a fan to prevent myself seeing that message really matter, even if the switch will feel like it’s at a cool warm temperature wouldn’t it still be overheating even if I can’t feel it.
this is basically what I’m looking at

It's like putting a bandage on a fractured bone.
You need to either take it in for service or open it yourself and find the problem.

Sometimes electronics get alarmingly hot but it's "normal", no need to open it up and void the warranty. Are you getting error message/crashes?
Mine also gets hot when in the dock, I don't see why a fan solution would hurt, or move the switch to a cooler place.

Don't buy this. You have some empty dock housings with fans built in where you can transfer your original one 2.

I think leaving the back of the dock open (where you connect the cables) helps avoiding overheating. One day i was playing Super Mario Odyssey and the switch was getting too hot. Now i leave the back of the dock open and rarely see my switch overheating. I saw someone giving this tip and though it was stupid, but looking at the back of the dock open you can see one of the exits for air on the back of the switch. I think is worth testing.
No need for that, there is one that fits into the stock dock and looks seamless.
Plus, I am 90% sure that doesn't have a fan. Those vents are for providing some ventilation for the dock board, which doesn't help.
Get this instead, looks much nicer: https://m.ebay.com/itm/Cooling-Fan-...669857&hash=item25fa106014:g:QRkAAOSwCRRbK5f-
How do you know it overheated? What happened?

I just submerge my Switch in a tub of water for superior liquid cooling.

Update on my brother: He's home now, tired and hungry, obviously, but other than that, seems to be doing fine.+2 -

Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
