For me, it’s better to put the P5S in horizontal position. Because dust mostly fall down to the unit and if the unit is standing vertical, the vents at the top will catch those dust. Though it will still get dust if place horizontally. But at least it will not go directly to the cooling fan & power supply. 😊

Without taking the system completely apart there’s a small opening that after you take the sides off you can gently use a Q-tip and clean that area it will clear up those vents just fine without taking your entire system apart I had this issue and cleared that vent space and have had no issues since this was 3 months ago and I’ve been cautious checking my vents and fan frequently since

I can confirm that this is LEGIT. I had this problem for quite awhile and tried everything. Cleaning it was a must do. But it's amazing how much just a little bit of dust in those tiny whole can mess it up. Soon as I vacuumed them out it was a world of difference. Haven't had another crash yet. Glad someone with some credit is getting this out there to ppl who need it. Use an small handheld electronic vacuum and if u had to do what I did and tape a straw to the end . Just be careful of over working ur vacuum, it doesn't like it lol

There is a dust port on the side when you take off the plates you’ll see a very small hole, you can use a small tooth brush and scrape off the dust inside the port and then use a vacuum to suck it up, happened to me a year ago then after the clean up it was basically running better than before and haven’t had issues with it since then try it out today

This is a seriously great tip! PSUs get clogged fast! Even if you clean your PS5 regularly, if it's standing your PSU will fill up.

Something I would never do...Plug in a console directly into the wall outlet knowing that a thunderstorm or power surge can fry it. Plenty of good outlets like the APC brand for example protect your devices from power fluctuations.

Happened to me a few times when playing Jedi survivor. Opened it up and there was some dust clogged up down in the power supply, cleaned the fan too for good measure and hasn’t happened since

[HARBRINGERZERO]

This man always comes through. I’ve been watching your PS5 videos since before I even got my own PS5 so I’d be ready for it.

I've had to clean it twice in 2yrs from cutting off using a long toothbrush cleaning the dust silver vents....but this last time the power area was very hot, I removed the plates and it hasn't cut off since.

Great that someone has finally put out a video showing the psu vents, I had this issue and you do not need to fully strip the ps5 orsend it back to clean it you just need a thin flexible hose, hold one end of flexi hose in your hoover pipe and feed other end in to ps5, nothing down there you can hit and damage its all plastic case. Happy cleaning all.

Mines been in vertical for 2 years, right beside the tv and also near a window. Still clean and never had issues.

I just got my game a week ago and it’s already doing this that’s crazy

[ginog]

Yup you gotta clean out the dust from within the fan every year. The easiest way is to just take the covers off vacuum all the dust and you are good to go. 👍🏻 thanks for the video.

When my ps5 randomly shuts off in horizontal state and never gets moved but regularly cleaned, then the issue lies within the liquid metal. Hotspots through oxidized liquid metal can cause this issues too. In the worst case you have to reinstall the systemfiles again after solving the random shutoffproblems. Tronicsfix has a solution for that, if you want to solve the problem yourself. Be sure to keep track of the screws, the ps5 has many different screws, unlike the ps4 system ...

I have used Clear cache and rebuild database option in the safe mode.. Everything working fine now. 👍🏼

[cmdrlightwalker_]

This video means more now that I have a Ps5 thanks for keeping us informed. 👍

I've had overheating issues for about a month, so I bought a cooling fan. My ps5 was in the vertical position and still got the same overheating message, I cleaned out the cooling fan multiple times with the same result. I put it in horizontal position about a month ago and haven't had 1 issue since. Horizontal position is definitely the way to go

[sarahlourenco]

I had this issue PS5 games wouldn’t play longer than 50min and ps5 felt really hot and wouldn’t turn on until I unplugged the cable and plugged back in, I cleaned the fan multiple times issue persisted, rebuilded data base and issue was still on going, if you’re experiencing this issue and your ps5 is out of warranty I’d suggest to do a full system clean up by following Stage 3 Clean Up of TronicsFix ps5 video very carefully (its not that complicated tbh), most likely the heat sinks and power supply are in need of a urgent clean up, since I fully cleaned it my ps5 has not randomly turned off and I’ve tested it out by playing GOW Ragnarok with max settings for over 3h with no issues

[GabrielIgnacio]

I had always figured that some of the overheating issues were due to the PSU itself as it’s heavily reliant on the blower fan for airflow. My PS5 sometimes got overheating messages as a result of it getting pretty hot.

What’s weird is that I’ve only had those messages and a couple of sudden shutdowns a week into having it and not a single instance ever since, which wouldn’t be nearly enough time for dust to cake the system up lmao.

Use your vacuum crevice tool and the furry tool that is included, don't what it is called, and vacuum the exterior of your PS Console, does not matter which one, every week, cuts way down on anything building up. Some Vacuum manufactures now sell small tools you can attach that enable you to get any build up off your heat sink without having to disassemble your PS5 past removing the fan for access. Use a long artists brush to loosen anything stuck to the heat sink then vacuum it up. Just go slow over all the openings, I do the same thing with my laptops.
