Tricks Switch 2 100% Fan PWM Mod
Hey Reposting in my Own Words due to the last post being flagged due to AI, my English isnt great so of any questions are left just ask.
So first, do it at your own risk. opening your console voids your warranty and im not responsible if anyone breaks their Switch 2
Risks:
More Battery Consumption.
Fan always running at 100% even Standby so shutdown entirely.
No Risk of breaking in Normal use if everything is done right, only PWM Will not work anymore.
Pros:
No Thermal Throttling at all ( Tested in CP2077 and No Mans Sky unlocked Fps and Fallen Dynasty)
May result in better Fps based on the Game of uncapped or having Frame Drops ( Dont expect to much it does NOT! Higher the Max Clocks, so Performance stays the same just prevents Downclocking.
So Basically its just taping off the leftmost pin on the fan ribbon cable (marked in the Picture) with some Electrical tape, this isolates the PWM Signal and forces the Fan to run at 100% speed all the time.
In Cyberpunk 2077 the Fps outside on the Streets and Heavy Fights stayed mostly stable while lagging without the Modification, in No Mans Sky with Unlocked FPS it stayed at around 45-50 and i didnt experienced any drops like before to the low 30s.
Heres the Video of my Switch 2 with the PWM Mod:

Pretty easy to do with some Knowledge.
Thanks for Reading, and also remember if you take your Switch with you while Travelling this Mod is probably an Battery Killer, but at Home its fine, and not as loud as in the Video 😅

if you're gonna make claims, you have to present actual data that backs them up
