Weird i have more ps5 issues than i had with the ps1, ps2, ps3, xbox360, wii combined. Youd think future gen would be better yet its the opposite

Certain games just make it die. I don't even get a warning

Or the Liquid metal is dripping down causing a dry spot because the ps5 is standing vertically causing it to overheat due to lack of heat transfer. That's how i fix a family member's ps5. I simply replaced the liquid metal with thermal paste. Sure the liquid metal is superior but the thermal paste won't drip and you will not have the same issues again leaving it standing.

Using a wall plug instead of an extension lead is genuinly underated, its suprisingly helped me alot

I can't say I've had any overheatings yet, and I've had my PS5 for the better part of 2 years. The worst I've had was a couple of random crashes during a Spider-Man 2 session, within that game's first two weeks, and a moment just yesterday where the console randomly froze just after the PS5's home menu loaded. I rebuilt the database and cleared the cache, along with uninstalling a few games I no longer play for good measure, and no more such lockups have happened since.

I finally cleaned the fan properly yesterday, as well (I'd previously only swabbed and vaccummed around the fan ventilation and the black vents, as well as vaccuuming the holes above and near the PSU, once the top cover is off). As far as I could see, the absolute worst of the dust was on the fan.

Wish you would’ve mentioned saved data erasing at the beginning

Also if you are able to place ps5 side way’s instead of upright, apparently it is better at cooling itself

[MrLasox]

One another pro tip don't have PS5 on base stand. Have it at vertical side because the liquid metal could be leading into some issues and could lead into overhetading issues.
You should always put your fan out completly too clean it completly.

When it's first dust on it it could be having dust on the thin plates and could be difficault too remove it from the distances you are showing and it's always good too doing it very well at the first attempt.

I give up on playstation. Ive had so many issues with ps4 and now ps5. They sell unfinished consoles that you have to fix and do stuff to get them to work properly. Meanwhile my xbox series x has been running fine and ive never had touch it

[DropTopKingM]

I removed the fan. Remember, the 4 screws are all different lengths so they will have to be reinstalled into the same holes. I took a shop vac and vacuumed out all of the dust. Then I rotated the hose so the air can blow out and I blew all of the dust out of the PlayStation. I reconnected all the screws and now it’s working excellent.

You’ll also want to dust the area where the PS5 sits so the unit doesn’t suck any new dust back in.


I will post a step by step video on my page and I guarantee you this method will work flawlessely.

Great i thought that the heating issues will would stop

Spider-Man 2 is unplayable now I am in the screen and it just overheats and turns off it’s actually stupid how I can’t play a game that the bundle was made for

[justintrudeau]

If you haven’t already try plugging the Ps5 directly into the outlet and not on the power bar

My PlayStation is gaining heat but I dont feel or hear the cooling fans getting more intense, What do you think is causing this ?

[gudacoo]

I went back to my PS4, too much overheating messages and shutting down on my PS5 at least I got the platinum trophy in Helldivers 2

[abdo.]

My ps5 says its overheating even though it's not and the fan sounds like sony airlines it louder than ps4

[mattplayz]

I just let my ps5 sit idol anf after 10 minutes it beeped 3 times then turned off. And when i opened thenps5 my fans where not moving when i powered it on any help. Don i have to change the fans?

[Solomoniscool]

Mine says that it’s overheating but it’s not hot at all and it just shuts off on me. Any idea of what it can be?

[shanehanlon]

It always happens me when I play Ea fc

[Juli_Juli]

It gives me a warning but my ps5 ain’t hot and the warning is only when I play fortnite
