“Oh wow I wonder what 35c is Fahrenheit”<br>…95f <br>As a Floridian I really can’t believe shit just falls apart in other places when temps get to our average summer temp.,(reply>), @acoupleofschoes my point wasn't that external temperature doesn't matter. My point was that switch and steam deck are made of same materials for every country they are sold. And in some of those countries 35 is a normal temperature, so why would the console have the issue with it being 35 in UK while it can survive 40 in Australia,(reply>), @Nishant Rajani The room/surrounding temperature does matter. There's a reason they also don't recommend putting consoles in closed off cabinets. The components can handle getting to those temps IF the surrounding air is cool enough and the temp gradient is large enough between them for the air to absorb the heat. If the air's too hot, having a cooling fan spinning at 100% isn't going to do anything at all to dissipate heat.,(reply>), @Cescobb but why would anyone build a gaming console, which would get hot no matter of your room temperature which can't sustain a mere 35 degrees? And I'm not aware if they make different versions for EU either so it's confusing to say the least.,(reply>), The fact is that is your <b>average</b> temperature.<br>Let's take for example the UK which has just registered its hottest day.<br>There the temperature in summer is usually around 20°C/68°C , with really hot days being 30°C/86°C.<br>Now things built with those temperatures in mind just kinda crumble at like 100°F.
