Product Information

The first part is taking out the stand, but you only need to follow it if you put the PS5’s stand vertically. You can skip it if you’re not using one or if the stand is put horizontally.

Your PS5 most likely will have gathered a whole load of dust inside, especially up against the heatsink - which is responsible for keeping the Graphics Chip and other hardware cool. This causes the fan to increase in speed as the console attempts to combat the heat inside, and in turn creates a whole load of noise. It's time to get inside the machine and give the heatsink a good clean, and this will solve your overheating problem.
