More and more users of the Nintendo Switch 2 are saying that their consoles are overheating and can even turn off after a few hours of gameplay. These issues seem to line up with recent heatwaves in some areas, prompting accessory maker Jsaux to step in with a fix.

Jsaux’s Solution

To tackle this problem, Jsaux is rolling out a clip-on fan specifically for the Nintendo Switch 2. This fan aims to reduce the console’s temperature from over 37 degrees down to a cooler range of 30 to 32 degrees Celsius while playing games. Jsaux believes this added cooling will enhance gaming performance during long sessions, as it prevents the console’s processor from throttling. Additionally, lower temperatures could help prolong the battery’s life. The fan is powered through the USB-C port located on the top of the Nintendo Switch 2.

Charging and Features

There’s also another USB-C port at the back, which lets the console charge while the Jsaux fan is in use. This port can provide up to 18 watts for charging, and Jsaux suggests using a 65-watt USB-C charger to fully charge the console in just three hours. Users can adjust the fan speed with a rotary knob, but Jsaux points out that higher speeds will naturally create more noise from the fan.

The Jsaux Cooling Fan for the Nintendo Switch 2 (model GP0201A) is now available on the manufacturer’s website for $39.99. Jsaux also offers shipping to various European nations for a charge of $6.99, though shipping is complimentary for orders exceeding $49.99.
