Your PS5 Will Overheat Because Of This

Here's why your PS5 is overheating when playing PS5 Games & how to fix it easy! If new PlayStation 5 games cause your PS5 to overheat then you need to check for this right now.. I show you step by step the best ways to prevent your PS5 overheating & what to do if you experience this very serious problem. The good new is this common PS5 issue can be fixed if you follow these steps to prevent it. The most common reason your PlayStation 5 is overheating is because the PS5 power supply vent is clogged with dust. You can easily prevent this from happening by simply cleaning your PS5 cooling fan at least once per month. You can also try placing your PS5 horizontally to prevent future problems with liquid metal on CPU. Try using Performance Mode on PS5 & see if it fixes the overheating problem! Lastly, make sure to clear the system cache & rebuild the system database. Thanks for watching! for MORE tips & tricks videos for PlayStation, make sure to SUBSCRIBE.

[@HullRupture]

Its important to keep your system clean and ventilated of course but it shouldnt require you to take the system apart to prevent it from overheating on certain games. That would be unacceptable from a design perspective if it required you to disassemble the fan every year to prevent certain games from over heating the system. The system should be able to handle some dust build up and compensate with the fan speed accordingly.

[@AzminShazli]

Yes i agree

[@nickkins9632]

It is able to handle some dust build up, but it's more of trying to prevent an excessive build up of dust that would cause any electronic to overheat

[@DeathscytheZero]

I don't have these problems. My PS5 stands vertically I just blow out air vents with an air can periodically

Hard disagree. This is something that should be done with any electronic that has an air intake. Like everything else in the world, these degrade over time and simple maintenance can keep it running longer. Doesn't take much time or effort to do.

[@michaeldietz2648]

You don’t need to clean your system once a month!!! once every six months or year depending on if you live in a dusty location or if you have pets.

That’s true, and as long as you’re not a smoker nor having anyone smoking inside the house then you’re all good. I personally have a dust cover on mine, it was around $20 off of Amazon where it goes over the middle portion of the console while simultaneously allowing the same amount of airflow.

Taking the cover off and removing a fan to clean it every month is an insane maintenance schedule. I've had my PS5 nearly a year now and I've never taken the cover off. I also shouldn't have to. At most, Sony should build them with removable filters that slide out without removing the case side, and those should get cleaned or replaced every 6 months or less often.

Dat louvered air flow doe

[@trollogic1505]

A note about vertical placement. The way the air vent is shaped leaves the vent holes for the psu on the “floor” inside the channel. It’s on the wall when laid horizontally but vertically it ends up on the bottom. Over time dust will lay there and pretty quickly can be clogged in completely. I’ve fixed half a dozen ps5s that were shutting down due to psu overheat and those holes were the culprit every time. If you’re gonna have it vertical blow that shit out bimonthly

[@reubenbrannon7349]

I have a random one in case anyone finds the information helpful. If you have a traditional HDD always hooked up in a port at the back to play your PS4 games and you get random shut offs or overheating then try it without the external HDD. I used to use a 4TB ext HDD for PS4 games and had no problems, however I saw a special on a 5TB external HDD one day and decided to get that. I found that the power draw and heat on that new HDD I had specifically seemed to cause my PS5 to shut down a lot, but I didn't make the connection at the time and almost sent the console in for repair. As soon as I went back to the old HDD and subsequently a portable SSD I never had any more overheating problems

[@enigmalfidelity]

Lol. You don't use vacuums on electronics. Always use blasts of air VS suction. Air blasts won't dislodge anything. A vacuum will. It can even cause enough air pressure to snap solder points due to refraction of the unit. It will work until one day it will just do damage

[@moribnd]

The power supply is likely the key problem. The good news is: I recently disassembled and cleaned my entire PS5 and while there was dust on the the PSU vents, it was not clogged. Note: I have a dusty apartment and let the PS5 stand vertically since November 2020. Keeping the PS5 horizontal, in an open place and possibly a disassembled cleaning of the fins, fan and PSU every ~3 years will probably be good enough. One might even look into getting an extra long straw for a compressed air can, taking the fan out and then attempting to blow out the PSU vents from the fan cavity (see view in the video). One more thing: users might be more inclined to stand their PS5 horizontally id they have doubts about liquid metal on the heat dissipation plate above the CPU or if they do run a long hours of true PS5 gen games.

Honestly just remove both stock faceplates. You can easily do that to ensure maximum airflow and heat reduction. Once every couple weeks just take the hose of your vacuum and clean any dust by gently running it along all sides of your system paying particular attention to the fan locations. Sure, it doesn't look pretty without the faceplates, but it's super effective.

[@gander2]

You should use compressed air, vacuums generate static and that can cause partial ESD to circuit boards.

I've only had my PS5 since August, but it hasn't had this issue. Maybe because it's horizontal and in a relatively open space, but I feel like if you need to clean the fans once a month, you need to start with dusting the space the console is in. If you keep the place pretty clean, I don't think you should have too many issues.

@@QuantIosi Because of the fan making it shut off?

[@MulliganSnicker]

Some people, my good friend included, are having issues with the console shutting off. They do not receive a “Your PS5 is too hot” message, and it doesn’t even seem hot. I’ve troubleshooted with him and, being a subscriber to your channel, thought I could help. After giving it a thorough cleaning we experimented with horizontal/vertical placement, plugging the power directly into the wall, and clearing cache/rebuilding the database. It’s led me down some Google search rabbit holes. A few Reddit users pointed out this same problem only happens when they play PS5 games. Lately, like you’ve pointed out, big new powerful games such as Diablo and Final Fantasy have released and it’s these games he’s had issues with, not PS4 titles. It’s been said that these consoles with this issue may have faulty GPU’s. That seems like a tough pill to swallow. PlayStation support does fixes for like $200. I want to help him because man, that just seems like a tough deal. Not sure if anyone will read this comment or if it will help anyone, just thought I’d throw it out into the universe. Much love!

I Really Trust you but.. now that i Realize it's so Unfair: Did we all been Scammed by Sony? Basically, if you buy a new console in the 3 first years it means that it was a prototype and you are destined to lose your PS5... wtf

I had the same problem, a thorough cleaning and laying it horizontal stopped it completely for me. I never got a msg saying it was hot either, but since I took it apart to clean it and changed the position, fan barely has to run at all

​@jimjam_the_wong_and_only1942 whenever I've had to dust off my PS5, I noticed that dust never really gets in too deep. Sure, my plates will have dust inside, but the real culprit for me has been the vents. Mine is a launch day model, and I've only cleaned it when I noticed the noise. Once I wipe, the noise disappears, and my console is quiet again.

[@erdvilla]

The Power Supply irradiates too much heat, they should revisit the build and isolate it with an independent fan so the grills at the bottom only vent out hot air from it, the tiny honeycomb window is not sufficient to keep it from reaching over 60C. Thats why systems usually turn off after 2-3 hours at 28C. If they add a 7.5cm fan as intake from one of the sides that would solve all overheating problems not related to liquid metal dry up.

[@samuelastrom8603]

I’ve had my ps5 since lunch. Haven’t cleaned it out once and it still runs fine. Nice and quiet. actually just replaced the plates with black ones, and there was barely any dust in it. I did some light cleaning before putting the new plates on but that’s it.

[@RobK-rl6sn]

I think getting people to disconnect their fans with that tiny little plastic connector will cause more problems than it will fix. That little plastic plug is very brittle especially after it ages. It's not meant to be taken apart 12 times a year as you are suggesting. But to each their own. I've had my PS5 since launch and cleaned it for the first time yesterday. In a Dusty room with pets. It sits vertical and has the entire time. I have not had an issue yet nor any overheating. It was barely even Dusty. Maybe I'm lucky but still I've never had to take any console apart like you are here. To be fair though if I was having overheating problems I would definitely consider taking a part and thoroughly cleaning the machine but if you have to do that once a month just to keep it running there is something else wrong. It's not the Dust. These things are meant to run with some dust. I personally think it might be Sony trying to save money and going with a smaller heat sink and maybe those are the machines having a problem overheating with these newer games. Developers are now starting to push the hardware. But I say tear apart your PS5 at your own risk. If you are not having any problems with it I would not take the fan out.

In the PS5 version I have you can see the PSU vent without removing the fan they put a slot next to it on the black case presumably so you can clean it out.

[@somebody4763]

I've had a PS5 for 4 months now and I haven't cleaned it once. It turned off on its own once and then I wasn't sure if it was because of the settings or because it was really overheating, which was almost impossible since I just got it and was just downloading some games. I have it vertically next to my TV with only a few centimeters between it and the wall and lots of cables. A few times I felt if a lot of hot air came out, which was not the case and I don't really see much dust from the outside either. I had no issues with the PS4 Pro either. The PS4 is known for blowing really hard, and I've had it in a small case for 5 years. It was only after those 5 years that it started blowing concerningly hard and failing when loading advanced games which are also for the PS5. Then I cleaned it for the first time and there wasn't even that much dust in it. So I think people with a PS5 that overheats must have a lot of dust on their desk or something like that.

[@CENECISTA1515]

I really like your channel and have been following you for a while, but there are two huge mistakes in this video that no make sense: 1 - The PS5 in horizontal position makes no difference, and it has already been proven. After all, the console was designed to be in a vertical position. 2 - Performance mode - this has nothing to do with temperature. Even though the CPU won't be pushed to deliver graphics, it will be to deliver double the frames per second.

[@kryptomaniac4946]

The title is clickbaity too!

[@ericnesbitt3340]

It has been proven that keeping your system horizontal is better. Not sure where you're getting your info but almost every source says keep it horizontal

[@scanchrisyeg]

Hardware experts from console repair shops are telling a different story: According to 68Logic, a PlayStation scene member who owns a hardware repair shop in France since 2010, using your PS5 vertically can damage it permanently, and he’s seen the result first hand with his clients’ consoles. Apparently the seal around the cooling material over the chip can degrade and it can leak away causing the system to overheat. Whereas lying flat keeps it in place, and that's why ppl are finding this solution clears up the overheating problem.

[@soniccinos]

Heat generated in Performance mode vs Quality Mode really is game dependent.... But is most cases Quality Mode offers more headroom for the system, due to the 30 fps cap.

[@ArtisChronicles]

I believe horizontal with the stock plates just takes in less dust. Which is the goal of the video to avoid heat buildup. Trapped dust is really the big culprit here. Otherwise you're right that the orientation makes no difference in temperatures in its own.

There are multiple PS5 versions out now, the newer ones will consume less power and gets lower temperatures. But if your PS5 overheats buy a PS5 side plate which has vent holes on it.
