The same people on Famiboards who leaked the initial shipment data stuff (fwd-bwd, Thraktor LiC and other posters) also later on scoured the data and found the dock has a radiator fan inside of it (the shipment data lists metal brackets inside the new dock that are for a radiator fan specifically). "Radiator fan" is just a more formal/technical designation for what we just call a fan inside a computing device. The content may be hidden unless you're a Famiboards member. There are also two separate product code numbers for two different fans in the shipment data (so the Switch 2 likely has two different fans). This video has a summary of everything found by Famiboards: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgw_6Rg7wDY A second fan in the dock should allow for potentially max performance of the chip when docked. They also have I believe the size dimensions of the Switch 2 (without Joycons attached) and they're a good deal larger than the Switch 1. |
Thanks, but ...
I knew about the information in the link.
Update: After comparing to other fan part numbers from Delta Electronics, I can say @fwd-bwd was right, and that the first "05" in the BSM0505 fan refers to a dimension of roughly 5 cm, compared to the current Switch model's fan parts which are all BSM0405 for a dimension of roughly 4 cm. For example, the Delta part BFB1012 (10 cm) has actual listed dimensions of 9.7 x 9.7 cm. The number after that is the voltage, so all the Switch (or possibly Switch 2) fans here use 5 V.
One question is whether the "new" BSM0405 fan is really new, or just a revision to an existing model. The OLED fan seems to have been switched to a newer revision in early 2023, so it's not impossible that could be happening here. If so, there's only one new fan, the BSM050, and in that case I would lean toward it being in the console, not the dock. But anything is possible.
One 50mm fan in the console and one 40mm fan inside the dock.*perhaps
I am looking for a source that says there are two fans inside the dock, did I read it wrong?
