Nintendo Switch 2 Teardown Reveals Detailed Look at New Nvidia Chip

Sure thing, let’s dive into the messy world of tech dissection. So, here goes nothing—get ready to meet Nintendo’s latest marvel, the Switch 2. It’s just barely hit the shelves and bam! Some tech-savvy YouTube wiz from ProModding is already in there, tinkering around. I wonder if they get popcorn delivered while cracking open that sleek console. Focus, right? Back to it.

Okay, imagine this: screws. Yep, they’re everywhere on this thing. It sounds like a bad day at the dentist. Start beneath the console and under the kickstand, then… oh, wait, what was next? Oh yeah, over on the colorful panels where Joy-Cons hang out. Those sneaky screws and clips—they’re the reason the back lifts off like magic. Sort of.

You’d think you’d find a treasure map or something, but nah, it’s just a ton of metal shields. Our pal at ProModding? Yeah, they whisk those away with—guess what?—more screw-unscrewing. Antennae out, metal shields gone. Hmm, like peeling an onion layer by layer. Except, this onion has a cooler and a battery that get tossed aside, too.

Next thing you know, the motherboard raises its silicon head. ProModding yanks off another shield and scrapes away… thermal paste? Sounds messy, right? And voilà—there’s the gleaming Nvidia chip, marked with the mysterious ‘GMLX30-A1’. Like a secret code the cool kids shared back in 2024. Or maybe it’s just tech people being techy. Who knew tech had drama?

ProModding even zooms in under a microscope, checking out every tiny doodad. Kind of like a high school science project gone rogue. Still, probably not a do-it-at-home thing unless you’re cozy with lawsuits.

Nintendo’s rulebook is clear as mud here—don’t mess with the goods or suffer tech purgatory. They might turn your Switch into a fancy paperweight for tampering. Ah, the perks of modern technology.
