Your PS5 sounds like a jet engine chomping to launch? That’s not normal. Just before the heat starts getting intense in summer, Sony is up to teaching some helpful tips to avoid getting the console an actual heater.
Seems PlayStation’s Twitter handle had had just fulfilled their this “that: CS5 PS damage control” job on the eve of the complaint-tide, “my PS5 melted.” Two notes on the allegedly diffi-cult resolves: Giving breathing room to your console and clearing all dusty vents. Amazing news, I tell ya???
Here’s the catch: people simply don’t appreciate this enough. It is not there just for show. Curves? For air circulation. All those awkward little vents that you never even think about? Literally saving your $500 machine from frying itself every single second. It also released an entire, full-blown guide, complete with the link in its tweet, on the best position and service cleaning for the device.
It is much crazier how many people are still putting the console into entertainment centers with no ventilation whatsoever. Like, dude, you don’t stick your laptop under a pillow and expect it doesn’t overheat – so why’s that fine for your beloved next-generation console? That fathoms deep into how well the number of complaints against “my PS5 is sounding like a hair dryer” would be taken care of by moving it just a foot away from the wall.
Another tale is cleaning, though. Remember when we passed through that phase when the PS4’s sound was something like a leaf blower? It just turned out where dust bunnies had some kind of party in there for many years: so same here only now we have to contend with the weird side panels which seem to attract dust like it’s paid for.
Now, we have Sony’s guide: it will show you how to pop off those panels for cleaning easily without breaking the clips-because let’s be honest, we’ve all snapped at least one plastic clip in our lives. And then the subtle suggestion, that standing it up doesn’t seem wise if it is wedged between things-horizontal gang might just be taking this round.
Currently, no replies are seen regarding that tweet, something smelling a little fishy about it? PlayStation tweets usually get flooded with “where’s Bloodborne 2” comments within minutes. So, either everyone is actually reading the guide for once, or we are set for a big wave of “too late, my console already died” stories in the coming days.
Keeping your house warm enough to bake cookies; definitely, don’t use if you have PS5 running eight hours at a stretch. This is the same old, 1995, common sense conceptualism we all know – but, honestly, it isn’t so very common where new games and monster thirst is concerned. But melted processors don’t give a damn about your Elden Ring addiction, so strap on those sensible wings.
So yeah, move it before it sounds like construction is going on in the neighborhood. And go on, buy a can of compressed air; your future self will thank you, and so will your electricity bill.
