Some clarity and additional info: - This is not a sponsored video. - These fans will allow you to optimise the airflow of the PS5 - which is particularly important if it is stored in a cabinet. - It is possible to use these fans without mounting them, as they include rubber feet as shown.

[@elionspahiu1072]

are the fans pulling air or pushing it

[@TheNextUpgrade]

@@elionspahiu1072 they are pulling air from the cabinet and pushing it outside the back

[@jordanent8279]

@@TheNextUpgrade Im dealing with a closed door cabinet situation.(Wifes rules, dont ask) what are your thoughts on this> * cutting a rectangle in the back of the cabinet, push the Ps5 backing itself to the rectangle so the Ps5 exhausts out the back. I see that you are pulling the air out of the cabinet but what if one fan was pushing and the other was pulling? Im just not sure if pulling the air out with both fans are the most efficient way(with a closed door situation). HVAC systems dont work that way so im assuming there is a ventilation method that would be more efficent than the other in a closed cabinet situation.

[@FOZ23]

@@jordanent8279 I'm in no way an expert in this area and I'm assuming that you mean a small rectangle but I've read that people remove the entire back part of the cabinet of where the console is. Also it looks like you said front is closed off (not ideal). I know you said wife's rules but maybe bring up a wall mount intoconsideration. Best of luck

[@HighEnergy]

@@jordanent8279 man you've got it, 1 pushing and one pulling air

[@JMAX79]

I did something like this in my cabinet. I installed a single fan from an old computer. I spliced the wires to an AC adapter which is plugged into a wireless plug that I can turn on and off, so it ventilate all of my consoles and components. Made a world of difference.

[@wwaynec]

This is the best advice! PS5 runs HOT. Installed one 140mm fan in my cabinet (A lot like this video) and it made a huge difference.

I’ll be ordering 2 sets of fans.. 1 pair to push air and another to pull out. Been thinking of doing this and you’re the first person I saw actually do it! Nice job!!

[@Tectosaurus]

Awesome video! I ordered the same exact fans and then came across your video. I was going to just drill multiple holes and mount the fan on top of them using double sided tape but this is so much better and cleaner. I got a new TV stand but sadly there’s not enough room to put my PS5 on top. It gets so hot in the cabinet and I don’t want it to overheat, can’t wait to set everything up! 💯

[@kevinwilkins7031]

It is worth it to do the exhaust fans, also if you don’t have those right now and you have a regular oscillating fan or maybe even a small one just point it at the console.

[@PROUD_CANADIAN78]

My PS5 sits upright on a separate stand about 10 inches away from the wall behind it and nothing else around it so it is well ventilated all around, however this is a GREAT solution for those who have the PS5 or any device inside a cabinet. I am familiar with AC Infinity, they make cooling system for Audio Receivers and are the leaders in cooling systems. I have the Ac Infinity Aircom T10 sitting on top of my Yamaha receiver, I was even thinking of a way to have one attached somehow directly on the PS5 itself. Anyways glad your thinking outside of the box and giving these tutorials how you accomplished it.

[@moritzrossbroich]

I done this myself with the ps3 years ago and it's definitely a good idea to put fans in your cupboard. I put one at the top and bottom. The bottom one blowing in and the top out.. it made a drastic change

[@johnm8986]

I have them in my tv stand with a Thermostat when it hits 85 the fan come on work great never have to worry about your system ever over heating

[@Unchained74]

I second this recommendation. I actually have a few AC Infinity fans. I'm using some for my external hard drives, one is set atop my Xbox One S. I actually have a four fan connection for my Optoma HD39HDR projector with runs hot fast, but since getting this four fan connect device; it cools it down tremendously. I have one for my Modem and router. I also have two coming for my PS5 too. In total I have about 15 of these fans. Life savers.

[@taxi615]

Having both consoles I can say without a doubt the Ps5 is one hot machine and the series X barely get warm. Both are in an open and vented cinema rack. I also added AC Infinity fans to help. Ac Infinity also make great AVR and power amp fans that you can adjust everything.

[@steveboston3792]

Thank you for this excellent informative video, I have ordered the S7, will install them soon in a similar cabinet like yours. But will place them on the inside.

[@FireMrshlBill]

For those that do not want to cut holes, I have used these fans on my ps4 pro and 1x for years, and then with the ps5 since launch. I didn't cut holes for them in the back of the tv stand but what I do is place both at the back of the cubby. The one on the right is faced at a 30-45 deg angle to blow air towards the back and to the left behind the console, which also draws cool air in by the intake on the right. The one on the left blows air out of the front of the cabinet to create a circulation. Since the PS4 and PS5's air intake is on the right side (when facing the console) it draws in cool air. Especially the PS5 since it draws air in mostly on that front right corner more than the right side like the PS4 did. Never had an issue with the PS5 and heat, only ever hear when the disc spins up. I do need to buy their thermal sensor instead of having to manually turn them on and off each time I play. That said, they do make ones with faceplates if you want to cut out the back of your tv stand/cabinet, which I may do for my upgraded htpc since it runs pretty hot now with the 6700xt I put in it. Debating on buying a few more of those plate types for the PS5 cubby and just exhaust out of the back. I just hate cutting holes in that thick cardboard stuff they use for the backing.

[@astroadventures3559]

I think either way is great. I mean wanting to cut the holes and make it part of the cabinet is a cool way to customize it. And if you have the skill and don't mind the holes. Why not? It came out nice my dude.

[@FireMrshlBill]

@@astroadventures3559 I have since made cutouts, purchased mounted exhaust fans and thermal sensors to auto cut on/off, and power them separately to avoid powering off of the consoles themselves. It is much cleaner and I am glad I did it, but my old config worked well enough for those that have a stand/cabinet they do not want to cut.

[@razoray78]

Awesome tip. I did exactly just this. Only difference is that instead of plugging the fan's usb at the back of the ps5, I have it plugged in a usb powered adapter.

[@Tectosaurus]

It’s just more convenient to leave them plugged into the PS5 directly that way they turn on/off automatically. 😁

[@razoray78]

@@Tectosaurus yeah, that's fine too. However, since the PS5 really has no toggle switch for on or off, I got myself a two-socket wall plug with a transparent switch. This is where I plugged my PS5 and the USB adapter for the fans. This way the PS5 won't automatically turn on even if the controller is accidentally pressed... I put the two-socket switch on the left of my PS5 sitting horizontally inside the shelf. Plus I want the fan to run longer to rid of some lingering hot air...and also use it when other consoles are turned on

[@timmiller5886]

With no good place to stand this PS5 vertically (mainly due to kids) I was forced to setup my PS5 horizontally in a cabinet with only 1" of space to the left and right and maybe 4" above. Needless to say the cabinet heats up quickly so I was concerned and came across your video. I ordered the drill and the fans and the kids and I turned it into quite the family project. Everything went smoothly and my only concern ended up being that due to my setup I was forced to install these fans inside the cabinet versus on the backside. Putting both fans in the top left and right corners I had not left enough of a gap to allow my drill to be perfectly straight, making things rather difficult. It all worked out in the end and the kids and I could immediately tell a difference temperature wise and can barely hear the fans running even on the high setting. Thanks for the great video!

[@godskillers666]

I have a similar set up, but mine is vertical standing up with bigger fans i had to modify them a bit and not usb powered they are outlet powered. It's the same brand, these fans are built to last so I'd highly recommend them. I just use a wifi outlet with Google home to switch on or off simple set up. Performance modes makes the console toasty.

[@FireMrshlBill]

You've probably figured it out by now but I just posted this elsewhere: I didn't cut holes for them in the back of the tv stand but what I do is place both at the back of the cubby.

Especially the PS5 since it draws air in mostly on that front right corner more than the right side like the PS4 did. Never had an issue with the PS5 and heat, only ever hear when the disc spins up. I do need to buy their thermal sensor instead of having to manually turn them on and off each time I play.

[@nicoleamy7741]

Nice video. Thank you. I went one step further. Since the PS5 is still going to be warm for a while afterward, I wanted the fan to continue blowing, so instead of plugging the fans directly into the PS5, I purchased an inexpensive usb hub. I grabbed one with the wall plug just to be on the safe side. There are several on Amazon, but the one I purchased is the, "Powered Atolla 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub." I mounted the hub directly next to the PS5, with some Heavy Duty Double Sided, Removable, Clear Mounting tape. The hub has 4 ports, so you can technically use 4 fans instead of just the 2. When I'm done gaming I just leave the fans running for another 15 minutes or so. (Hint: When powering off a port, hold the power button for 2 seconds.) They have pretty blue lights to let you know when the port is powered down.

[@pejhmankeshvardoust8558]

PS5 also has an option to continue supplying power to usb ports for 3 hours after shut down. You could always just plug them in directly and have that on - this will give plenty of time for cooling.

[@LDrift]

There’s no need to continue cooling the PS5 once it has been shutdown. It will passively cool just fine, even in a cabinet. I could run a high stress benchmark on my PC and shut down straight away, again no need to cool once the components have stopped receiving power.

[@pejhmankeshvardoust8558]

[@SiliconDrifter]

If it’s a cabinet enclosure, would you have one of those intake and of those exhaust or just both exhaust with enclosure door slid open?

[@dragons_red]

Having two fans as exhaust (assuming the door is open enough) would move more air. If you set up just exhaust fans, then you need a vent big enough to allow that air to be pulled in from somewhere. Having an intake fan and and exhaust fan isn't really necessary or helpful, the only things I can think of where they would benefit are: -very large cabinet, the intake will help/make sure the air is all coming in from the place you want it to. With a large cabinet, passive draw (exhaust only) means more negative pressure loss by the time you get to the vent (larger air volume "absorbs the pressure as it's distributed evenly across the cabinet) and thus the flow at the intake is decreased. Also, as your cabinet is likely not airtight, that pressure is going to increasingly bleed out through small gaps throughout. So this means either more/larger EFs for the passive draw, or add fans to the intake. So it's not clear which is better, it really depends on specifics and ultimately testing both yourself in your own setup would give you the answer.

I ordered a set of fans for my PS5 and a set for my XBOX. Question - what do you think about making the 'bottom' fan an in fan and the 'top' fan an out fan? I am going to order the 80mm saw blade too but I sure hate to cut up the back of the cabinet.

[@CAMAROG9]

I am in the process of doing this for my PS5 and another set for the XBox. I came back to see if you used the rubber feet for insulation to the cabinet. I will stand the ps and Xbox and mount an 'in' fan toward the bottom and an "out' fan toward the top of the cabinet. FYI I will only run the ps or Xbox one at a time. The fans do not seem to move a ton of air but as stated they are super quiet and the sound of the PS5 running will drown out the fans for sure. I hate drilling in to this cabinet though... It was a fortune lol. Lastly - I will use a sharpie marker or flat black paint to paint where I cut so you don't see raw wood.

[@CAMAROG9]

UPDATE: Last night was the true test as I fell asleep with the cabinet closed and the TV on with programming running through the PS5. The cabinet was at room temperature this morning. NOTE: I cannot find a way to get the XBOX to shut off the usb ports - in other words - if you are using this on the XBOX you will need to use that little switch to turn the fans on and off. Fortunately - the fan kit comes with an adhesive anchor and a zip tie. Thank you for this awesome video.

This is brilliant but mine is vertical. Why don’t they make ps5 side panels with holes them ? That would look cool and better cooking. Cool channel man subbed.

how they held up so far? any noise any issue you encounter ? looking to get some for my router and modem? do you know if i'm looking to have them underneath router/modem should the logo side be facing up or facing down ? thanks

You could have put one fan facing in and one out. That way you push cold air in and the hot air out. Causing better airflow behind it. I would love to see a test to see what way would create a better temperature drop in the Playstation.

This worked well for me. Had my PS5 for 2 weeks in a cabinet and it would get so hot that I got an overheating error message. After installing this my PS5 remained pretty cool after hours of gaming. However, screwing in these fans to my cabinet was a bitch.
