Is it better to have your PS5 vertical or horizontal?
Is it better to have your PS5 vertical or horizontal? Should You Stand Your PS5 Vertically or Horizontally? Sony supports using your PS5 both vertically and horizontally, so there’s no right or wrong way to do it—as long as your system gets enough airflow.
Why is my PS5 so warm?
Debris from dust, fur, and lint clogs the air vents and inside the console. You can use a can of compressed air to clean the vents. You’re playing demanding games for too long. The rise in wattage may raise the console’s temperature.
How do I keep my PS5 cool?
You can keep your PS5 in a cabinet while you use it, but it’s in danger of overheating if you don’t vent it properly. If you’re going to put it in a cabinet, store your PS5 vertically so the cooling fans will be more effective. You can add an extra cooler if you have issues.
What happens when PS5 overheats?
The PlayStation 5 is an exceptionally quiet console, so you may not know when your fan (there’s just a single huge one) has stopped spinning. Without the cooling fan pushing air through the system, your PS5 will quickly shut down as it hits its failsafe temperature.
