Question Nintendo switch is at 63c is that normal?

[kaib]

I recently got a used switch and I change the thermal paste and removed the copper sheet above the soc and put mx4 thermal paste and in Luigis mansion 3 the temps were Soc-63c pcb-57c skin-51c and fan speed was about 50% and ambient temp was 29c or 84f. Is that normal for the switch? or did I just maybe do a bad thermal paste application?

That's a bit on the hot side, though you also have a very hot environment. What were the temperatures before this?

As everyone in your last thread told you, there was zero reason to do this unless you had a specific problem. Was there a specific problem that required new thermal paste? Or is this something you made into a problem?

Temps were about the same before I changed the thermal paste but the fan speed was at 80% fan speed and that was just to loud for me

Didn't we tell you not to do that...?

About fan speed, the Switch can get loud, yes, but so can amy high power modern handhelds. Or other consoles for that matter.

Also, looking at this review, it looks like those temps are pretty much normal for the Switch, at least with in your hot environment.
