 What's up everyone, Tate down here. Welcome back to the video. Today I'm gonna be talking about what to do if your PlayStation 5 is overheating. Let's get right into this. The PlayStation 5 is designed to have optimal cooling, but there might still be times that your PlayStation 5 is overheating and today we're gonna be talking about some of the easy fixes that you can do yourself to prevent this. So the first thing to do to prevent your PlayStation 5 from overheating is to make sure that all the vents and the back have enough space, at least 10 centimeters all around. That way there's enough airflow to cool down the console. You're gonna also want to make sure that none of the vents are blocked. You're gonna want to also make sure that your console is not placed into any narrow or cramped space. Mine is borderline, but right now there is still a lot of airflow around it and it has not overheated. If it ever does, then obviously I am going to move my PlayStation 5, but right now it's in a perfect position in my opinion. And the last thing to do to prevent your PlayStation 5 from overheating is to regularly check to make sure there's no dust buildup on the console. You can vacuum out most of the dusts and make sure none of the vents are clogged with any dust. You can also remove the covers on the PlayStation 5, the white covers, to get to the fan to dust it out as well and vacuum it out. The one thing I would recommend is to not open up your console if it is under warranty, but to simply take it somewhere to professionally blow it out or vacuum it out if you do not know what you're doing. So if your PlayStation 5 is currently overheating, first thing I want you to do is make sure you check everything I just mentioned, making sure that it is in good spots, that there's no dust clogging it up, none of the vents are blocked and then what you're gonna want to do with it turned off, you're gonna unplug all the cables and you're gonna leave the console for a couple hours for it to ensure that it is cooled down. After a couple hours go by, you're gonna turn it back on. After a couple hours go by, you're gonna plug everything back in and turn it back on and see if it does work now without overheating it. If your PlayStation 5 is still overheating, unfortunately you might have to move or relocate your PlayStation 5. Now one rumor I keep seeing online is some people say that it only overheats if it's vertical, other people say that it only overheats if it's horizontal. It doesn't matter how your console is positioned. You want to make sure that there's no dust buildup on the console. You want to make sure that none of the vents are blocked and that it has enough space and theory to breathe and have a lot of air flow around the console. That will help reduce the overheating possibility. If it's still continuously overheats and you checked everything that I mentioned in this video, if your console is under warranty, I do recommend taking it back to try to get it replaced. Now, hopefully you did buy that GameStop or somewhere else that offers an extended warranty because their warranties are amazing. Instead of the warranty that comes with it like Sony where you have to send them the console and they'll either try to repair it and send it back or just send you a refurbished one, what you're gonna do with an extended warranty is you're gonna exchange it for a brand new console which is way easier than you taking it and sending it to Sony. So I recommend, hopefully, that you did purchase an extended warranty with your console at the time that you did purchase it. But if it's still overheating, there's likely a bigger issue and some of these easy fixes will not work, but if you at least made sure that there's no dust inside and that it's very clean and has enough space, it shouldn't continue to overheat. If it does, there's a bigger problem with the console itself. I hope you guys enjoyed this video and hopefully you have fixed your PlayStation 5 from overheating. I'll see you guys in the next one. Please take care. Peace.
