Nintendo gives tips to prevent Nintendo Switch from overheating
The heat wave affects France, but not only. All over the world, temperatures can exceed 35° C both outdoors and indoors. This high heat can also impact the operation of electronic devices, including the Nintendo Switch. To avoid possible damage caused by overheating the console, Big N did a little prevention. More concretely, if the temperature were to be too high, at the beach, in the car or even at home, the Nintendo Switch could turn off automatically, but more serious problems could arise.
If you use your Nintendo Switch in a hot place, the CPU temperature may become high. Use it in a place where the temperature is between 5 and 35°C. Also, if the air inlets and outlets are blocked, the main temperature of the console may increase. Improve airflow around affected ports. If the temperature of the console gets too high, it can sleep automatically to protect the main unit.
In addition, Nintendo strongly urges players to invite foreign bodies, dust and consort air inlets and outlets with a vacuum cleaner. This will allow optimal cooling of the console and it will avoid unpleasant surprises.
