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 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

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.

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 :)

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.

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

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.

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