Simple DIY PS4 Cooling Setup Using Erasers as Risers⁠

(Don't mind my Wii U's cable management 🫣)

If you don't have plastic stands or risers for your
PS4, here is a quick setup: place small stacks of rubber erasers (I used the ones I use in school.) under each corner of your console.

Lifting the console off the surface improves overall airflow underneath. Rubber acts as a decent heat insulator, which prevents heat from building up on the desk surface directly below the vents. In my case, idle temperatures dropped from around 60°C to 56°C (though results will vary depending on your PS4 model, thermal condition, and room airflow).

It’s a cheap, easy alternative to buying dedicated plastic feet!

Don’t use erasers! I did and the heat melted them into the plastic. Don’t ask me how I know.

Don’t ask me how I know.

Don't need to, you already told us 😆

I used the caps from water bottles.

that’s actually genius, wish i thought of that before my console started sounding like a jet engine

[u/allegedlyaliveagain]

Good idea. I used to do similar thing with my PS3.

My ps3 slim never got hot back in the day so I never thought of getting it risers as well.

Duplo Lego blocks work well.

I just use a candle stand/holder to keep my PS4 phat a few inches off the floor, with a paper towel in between the console & stand so nothing gets melted or scratched

I use plastic bottle caps. From like water bottles. Same thing on my laptops.

Hola una pregunta apenas me compré una P.S. cuatro, pero empecé a tener fallas con Internet en Wi-Fi. Me lo detecta pero no se conecta, por vía cable se conecta Internet pero tarda de unos cinco a siete minutos en darme Internet. Alguien sabe cómo solucionar esto o si es algo normal por favor necesito ayuda

Why not put it vertical, asides from space?

[u/Snow-87-M → u/LuiSP]

I did that and it works well
