A lot has been said about the heat produced by the Nintendo Switch with some claiming temperature change when the Switch is in certain positions. In this video I test temperatures using a temperature probe to record how hot the chip gets in certain scenarios going as far as to purposely overheat the system to find the roof temperature.

1 in every 200 switches are abused donate $19 a month to save a switch, and we will send you a picture of the switch you saved.

If you have 45° C in the room your Switch not running is the least of your problems. :-D

Here's a look at temperatures when connected to Nintendo's dock. This is an older video I did a few months back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfAW5sQSCeg

I appreciate your use of the international standard of celsius, I know it can be less popular stateside but the rest of the world is grateful.

I can't find a switch, so I'm here watching you destroy yours.

LMAO that skit, the switch had its Right Joycon (thumb) up to hitch a ride, bags all packed

Kinda like that this proves that switch systems don't normally get hot enough to melt/warp/burn the system

Punished "Venom" Switch: Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Every night, I can feel my dock... and my joy-con. Even my buttons. The cooling fan I've lost... The cartridges that I've lost... Won't stop hurting... It's like they're all still there. You feel it too, don't you?

If the temperature in your room is >95F, your Switch overheating is the least of your problems.

I really liked the whole intro, it was spicily adequate in terms of memery.

And what if you just flip it? Lay it on its screen on a soft surface and be done with it?

I seriously wouldn't even expect that Monopoly game to cause the kind of stress that Zelda and Fast RMX do. Like, it's just Monopoly lol, your Switch is gonna be fine.

I'm really loving the bits of silliness thrown into your videos lately. I can tell you're really enjoying making your videos, and I really appreciate that. Keep up the good work!

Love the little skits. And i love how they're just rare enough that it's always a surprise.
