Cleaning dust filled 18 month old PS5

[@TheTechGiantYouTube]

For all those saying we live in a dirty house. This PS5 is run for 16+ hours a day, every day for 18 months to test how it lasts, and part of that was not cleaning it our to see if it would overheat, that's what we do on this channel, we test things. So when comparing this to your own PS5, take the hours it is used into account. I'm more than positive it would look no different no matter who's house it was in. We also have a second PS5 in the house which is exactly the same age and was used in a more normal way, and when that was taken apart to fit an SSD you can see that even with no prior cleaning and video being shot at the same time, that PS5 has hardly any dust. See for yourself kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2qZY6qXqZV9q9k So i hope that explains things for all those who are being abusive and rude and just shows why you shouldn't jump to conclusions and running your mouth off! With regards to removing the fan and also doing the dust catcher holes. the holes were vacuumed out, but not shown in the video and the vacuum is so powerful that i managed to get the dust off the fan without removing it. This was done by covering sections of the fan opening with my hand and putting the vacuum nozzle over the part i wasn't covering, making the suction super powerful. Why did i not show this in the short video? well i wanted to concentrate on satisfaction of removing the dust that you can see, not much fun in watching dust being removed that you can see properly.

[@thesolidsnek8096]

I am pretty sure mine is as dusted up even without running it that much cause we had a construction site in our area and you wouldnt belive the amount of dust flying in the air and getting throught the windows

[@Billy-Allen]

You can take the fans out on these very easily, ive done it to mine and a friends and made them sound brand new. All you need is a Torx T8 screwdriver, a gentle hand and some patients whilst taking off the air vent fins as they can break easily. There’s a few decent videos on YT how to do it, would definitely recommend it! 👍🏻

[@TheeThunderGod]

@Bloofa exactly. All the dust, animal hair, etc gets clogged at the front of the heatsink. I learned this back when i had to clean the heatsink on my ps4 pro, it started shutting off in thermal protection cuz it couldn't breathe. U could hear the air forcing its way thru the dust and heatsink, making a jet-like whistle. Cleaned it and it was quiet. Recently did my ps5 which is how i realized ps5 takes in more dust than anything I've ever seen and my room is clean WITH an air purifier in there. Still had dust starting to build up at the front of the heatsink on those slits the air passes through. Sony actually designed ps5 to be taken apart easy so thats the easy part, so is removing the fan. Hard part is reaching the heatsink to clean it lol!

[@johndoe3485]

Pro tip, put your PS5 in the horizontal position. The reason is in horizontal no dust gets in. If you look at a PS5 in horizontal, you see the white panels are like a roof around the top of the PS5 so that no dust gets in. When PS5 is in vertical you see how all the open areas are open for all the dust in your room to freely drop inside the PS5. So even though it will take up more space horizontally, its worth it to have it horizontal to keep as much dust as possible from getting inside. ✌️

[@nimbydimby]

It may be news to you but dust is airborne so it will just get sucked in anyway. Yes, you won't have that part of the dust that falls down and into the console but that's a minority.

[@theageofminecraft1]

Dumb comment sorry but it will always collect dust if it’s on as one fan needs or be sucking air in to cool it… just basic PC knowledge. Also this was barely any dust the ps5 performance would not have been affected by that much dust.. I was suprised how little it was. My PC has had 20 times More dust and ran fine lmao

[@japaneserequired6314]

two word, air purifier. you breath more air than a PS5. Think about your lungs.

Not my PS5

[@carriedudik2421]

My ps5 lives in the living room, high traffic area, near the front door. I have 2 air purifiers in the area, and it still gets dusty. Every time my dog shakes inside, dirt and hair go flying. The ps5 does get dirty. Thankfully, I dont have carpet and have a roomba that vacuums daily. The console in my gameroom doesn't get very dirty because it's not a high traffic area and the dog and cat don't go out there.

Home air purifiers are snake oil

This really reminds of that video of a guy having a spider living inside his ps5 and disappeared.

[@quinnhenshaw7293]

I’ve had mine since release and changed plates twice without seeing that kind of dust. This dude my be running an animal hospital

Fun fact: as soon as he opened it and revealed the truth, my video automatically jumped to 144p. Lol. Chill YT, i'm not that sensitive.

Mine was like that after the first 3 months of its release (uk day1 owner) and well cleaned it last night and mine made yours look spotless I was absolutely mortified

[@andycrossland3892]

Just wait until you pull out the fan and get down into the heat sinks. Holy moly! I’ve had mine since release and it also runs 16hrs a day, every day. Never missed a beat, but it’s more efficient than my hoover.

Wow my console is from last February 2023 model and i just clean it today and its not even this close to Dusky just wow.

[@austriadiamolo]

I love how easy you can clean the fans on the ps5

[@voidsnip3z674]

After 2 years you definitely are gonna need to fully disassemble the housing to clean the heat sinks. Within 3 years I’ve had to do this twice because of the power unit tripping/resetting and overheating/loud cracking sounds the second time. After cleaning both times the console was as quiet as a mouse and gave me and extra year+ of usage between maintenance. Plz show love to the heat sinks and not just the fan, you’d be surprised of how much dust is actually in there.

[@Smoshylife]

Must have a nasty ass house

[@anima2418]

I recommend also taking it apart down to the heat sink since dust can sometimes cake up deeper than just than fan. Also, remove and clean the fan.

[@supahboi1131]

My ps5 is like pretty much the exact age and in the exact state and I’ve always been so scared to do it myself in case I fuck it up but this man just made me realize how easy it is and he’s earned a free sub from me

[@kilroy987]

I'm on the third floor of an apartment. I don't play my PS5 a great deal, but I've had it for 18 months and have not cleaned it until today, when I installed an M.2 SSD. I did have some dust buildup on the outside top, which I just wiped off. Very little dust inside, none really all that visible - I just took a blower to it.

[@malnurishedmacupial]

Does not matter how clean you think you are unless you live in a static free and dust free environment you’re going to see it looking like that in about 1 to 2 years. Just done mine yesterday after a year and the fan had a slight layer but was minor. Heat sinks seemed clean.

[@VikkyPandu]

Thanks for the information 🎉

[@user-ng5yq6vc6b]

Great job bro to clean PS5 👍
