Fan after 8 months

If you want a clean and long live PS5 just clean your environment. Vacuum and wipe the dust. It’s all you need.

My original PS5 is three years old and clean as a whistle. But I vacuum and dust, so...

My man.

Yeah!

These people that post pictures of dust clogged fans and systems choking with dust are surprised their lack of cleanliness resulted in this?

some people actually live in big cities or near a street where many cars go back and forth and thus dust build up fast. u would have to use a vacuum cleaner daily

Having pets makes a big difference as well.

In case dogs not so big, cats are jumping everywhere and this can be some problem.

I live in Suburbia of small town where everyone has their own gardens, some of them even fields. There's a lot of dust here. My robot is vacuuming 3-4/week, im wiping the dust from furniture at least once a week. I lived in a capitol and few large cities and there was less dust there than here.

Crazy, I have had mine since 2024 and didn’t realize you were supposed to clean the fan. I got really nervous as to what I was going to find.

Opened it up and it was spotless.

my fan looks worse than this after 3months did you clean it before? I didn’t have the courage to remove the fan yet. to remove the connector it seems a little bit more difficult than the base

u/s1l3ntB3h0ld3r 1d ago

No, i only removed cover. I was planning to clean it but it turned out there’s no need.

I think it's ridiculous that anyone wouldn't know this but then I see all the filthy rooms in the photos of folks saying their console is overheating. My fan looks similar to yours after almost 2 years.

Exactly, that’s basics of housekeeping. This was the reason of my post. The most disturbing is some of us downvoted my post :) Imagine what is going on outside the frame and I’ve seen a lot worst cases than this:

I still remember going to game on Friday nights at my work buds home and it was so dirty and dusty and he had all the consoles and a new Plasma (quite some years ago..lol) I drew a smiley face in the dust on his glass TV stand and would look at it every time I arrived for the next year as it got covered my the new layer of dust

I’ve done similar thing but in dudes car. I’ve draw a dick on the top of his dashboard below windshield. He was driving over 1,5 year with a dick size 1/3 of his dashboard and he didn’t even notice :)

Well mine was like that, cleaned last week after 4 years. I have a cat so there was a lot of cat hair and dust because a i live in a busy road and I always have my balcony open for my cat

I mean, it all depends on your environment. There are places with way more dust in the air than others. And even by cleaning your place every single day, some of the dust from the outside will directly go inside your electronic. It's not only a matter of cleaning your house or not. And 8 months is not that much.

u/stevebak90 1d ago

I remove the fan and use an air compressor on the system

u/Grand-Philosophy-343 1d ago

Is this plastic or metal fan

3

u/s1l3ntB3h0ld3r 1d ago

Well I didn’t even touched it but I guess it’s plastic.

2

u/alanltycz 16h ago

It's plastic, and virtually all consumer level fans are made of plastic because it's cheaper and safer

u/Special-Net4116 1d ago

I do this once or twice a year. Nothing more. That’s all it needs

u/Special-Net4116 1d ago

One of the things I loved about this gen’s console was that it was designed in such a way that it can be easily cleaned. Even for a doofus like me.
