It is normal for the PS5 to warm up when playing, however, this is not a problem. Occasionally, though, it can’t, and the remedies are simple. Aside from cleaning the PS5 fan, which you may do by opening up the console, taking it to the shop, or changing its configuration, you have three options.
“PS5 is too hot,” is an official error message. Turn off your PS5 and wait for it to cool down before continuing.” Putting the console in a confined place or having too much dust on its internals are two common culprits.
Regardless, overheating your PS5 is not healthy for it. It may reduce its efficiency and, in the long run, irreparably harm the equipment.
My PS5 is overheating, why?
There’s a common rule that any electrical item becomes heated while it’s in use for a long time with no air. A PS5 overheating is unavoidable if you’re not playing in the proper settings.
We assume that your PS5 arrived at your doorstep in pristine shape, free of manufacturing defects. Accordingly, the following are possible explanations for your PS5 overheating:
The carpet, couch, or the floor is where your PS5 is resting. Fans may accumulate a lot of dirt in a short period. If you can, place the console on a cool surface such as a stone or wood.
You’re blocking appropriate ventilation by blocking the vents on the console with other things. Avoid storing the PS5 in enclosed spaces, such as cupboards, because it needs a lot of room to breathe.
Clean the vents using a vacuum cleaner. By generating an electric field, it causes harm to the fans.
Fur and lint accumulate in the vents and on the console because of the buildup of dust. You may clean the vents with a can of compressed air.
You’re spending much too much time playing taxing video games. The console’s temperature may rise as a result of an increase in watts.
Are There Any Risks?
CNET reports that the PS5’s maximum operating temperature on taxing games is 35.1 degrees Celsius above ambient. Tests carried out by GamerNexus have shown that the PS5 system can operate at temperatures between 65 and 75 degrees Celsius without any problems at all.
It’s worth noting that the RAM in the PS5 can heat up dangerously near the 105C temperature limit that most electrical devices have.
Even so, this is quite typical. However, if other parts of the system hit the 90C limit, the system may begin to fail. To top it all off, the RAM’s temperature will rise far more rapidly than the rest of the console.
An overheated PS5 is a potentially lethal situation. The continuous functioning becomes troublesome when the temperature rises over a particular level. CPU, GPU, RAM, and SSD storage can all be damaged by excessive heat.
Under high heat circumstances, the PS5’s system may reduce the performance of the GPU and CPU to reduce the temperature. This may result from in-game crashes, lengthier loading screens, frame drops, freezes, and other issues with the game.
Fame goes down while the PS5 is overheated. As the PS5 (and the X Series X) typically fails to maintain 60FPS at 1080p, this is a major concern.
Tips to Improve Your PS5’s Temperature
Playstation rooms need breathing room. It should be at least four inches away from the wall in an open area.
Under the PlayStation 5, place a marble, stone, or wooden platform. Make use of its stand as well, if you can. In all horizontal and vertical orientations, the PS5’s base should maintain it above the ground and its vents should face back.
When you’re playing, consider using a fan or an air conditioner. Open the windows or the door to allow fresh air in.
Remove any extras that may have been placed on top of the PS5, such as clothing, blankets, or other objects of a similar kind.
Keep the console at least three feet off the ground. As a result, dust tends to accumulate near the floor. The PS5 won’t get dirty if you keep it up.
Keep the environment around your PlayStation 5 clean regularly. Additionally, you should clean the PS5’s exterior using a microfiber cloth. It’s best to turn it off before you start cleaning it.
Remove dust from the back air vents with a low-powered vacuum cleaner. A simple method that doesn’t require the PS5 to be opened by Sony is recommended by the company.
Stay away from the console, since fur might clog the air vents.
