Dust. - Help & Troubleshooting Forum - Page 1

I have been watching a few videos on how to clean the dust from the fan and vents some go a lot further and dismantle most of it to get to the vents, could i ask if dust is a major problem causing overheating or is it just an old wives tale?

How often do you clean the internals and how deep do you go?

What do you use?

@Max_Headroom so I hadn’t really thought about it until all the reports of Final Fantasy XVI bricking PS5’s… so when I was about to start the game I watched a few vids the night before on how to clean the PS5, thinking that I’d get it all ship-shape before splaying FFXVI the following day.

After watching the vids though, I in no way fancied taking my PS5 apart to the extent of just a rudimentary clean (fan removal etc.) so I just chanced playing FFXVI without cleaning the console and touch wood all is well.

This seems a good guide he doesn't remove the fan and says do not use the cans of air just a vac with a nozzle and a paint brush.

All I do is remove the covers and get rid of the dust without taking the fan out. It is super easy. The trickiest part I found was putting the covers back on, but even was hardly a ball ache.

Thanks, how often do you do this?
