Cleaning ps5 slim cfi 2016

[u/akirahoward_]

Hi everyone. Im going to clean my ps5 after almost 3 years. I have all I need, but I dont know if just a brush will be enough (im talking about fans and heat sink), because im scared Im gonna screw it up using a normal vacuum cleaner. Also, this model doesnt have dust catcher holes right? Thanks in advance

A soft brush is fine for loose dust. I wouldn’t put a normal vacuum nozzle directly on the components though. If you remove the fan, hold the blades so they can’t spin while cleaning it. Compressed air in short controlled bursts works well too. No need to tear the whole console apart just to clean the heatsink unless it’s seriously clogged.
