The fan noise started right out of the box right as soon as i turned it on.
It constantly blows a high speed as you re playing handheld or when its in the.
My fan was spinning very loud everytime the switch was not in sleep mode.
If the fan is still working but not much better or if it still isn t behaving like you think it should be keep reading for some more ideas.
If after cleaning a fan it doesn t move at all it s time to replace it.
Does your console overheat or freezes or cuts off during games.
Remove the four 6 3 mm tri point y00 screws from the rear panel.
I exchanged it for a new one and the second switch makes absolutely no noise at all.

Loud enough where i can hear it over whatever game i m playing even when docked playing through tv speakers.
Remove the single 6 1 mm phillips 000 screw from underneath the kickstand.
Its been like this for about 3 weeks now but the switch seems to be running completely normal otherwise.
The intercooler increases the airflow to the nintendo switch consoles and allows the dock to be placed horizontally or vertically.
Check first that the fan is plugged into the motherboard or whatever is providing the power but beyond that it s time for a new one.
I think it s worth noting that the replacement fan was a delta brand fan while the bad one was from foxconn.
The fan on my second switch made a rattling noise which never existed in my first switch.
