The EU revision of Switch 2, BEE-001(-01), features a different PCB and cooling fan, according to a new teardown by Austin Evans.
The original circuitboard is BEE-CPU-01 (img below, top), and the revision OSM-CPU-01 (bottom). Aside from the printed model numbers, there aren’t any other visible differences on the board though.
The fan has been changed from BSM0505HPJQC (img below, right) to BSM0505HPLBQ (left). Evans claimed that the newer fan was slightly quieter when playing Fortnite. Since it wasn’t a controlled test, I wouldn’t put too much stock in it yet. By the looks of it, this might be just a controller firmware update.
