nobody is brave enough to remove the plate to clean the ps5
True that, I’m thinking of vacuuming it like using the small one to suck all the dust
It’s very simple
Ya I broke the little piece that has a lot of lines for the air flow. And now I have scars on my knuckles. It was super hard to take off
Except like half of the ps5 community lol
Disconecting the fan looks like a stress fase lol
I can't imagine how many people will break that fan connector trying to unplug the wrong way
Guilty
@@20vitorneves oops! Now what?
Noobs.
You have to be insanely dumb to not understand how a simple connector like that works
@@datboitmic There are a lot of playstation noobs lol
Quick, easy, straight to the point, doesn't take too much of your time and explains what you need during the process of cleaning the system. A really simple and efficient informational video and tutorial! Haven't seen these short videos in a while and appreciate it! Subbed! ☺️
I think the reason people don’t do this is because of how inaccessible this used to be. Cleaning your PS5 is surprisingly easy and I’m glad they changed it
@@LiveDark yes mate I don’t think anyone is that dumb
Facts i hate t screws j to take the cover off ps4 now i j need it for the fan🙃
you call multiple screws accessible? lol
Yeah I'm honestly just lazy AF. I've played video games all my life, and rarely have I ever thought about cleaning any of them. I've only done it on occasions where it felt like it needed it.
I'm not even a super dirty person. I'm just bad with maintenance...
@@jagy3174 don’t say mate then be a complete dickhead, some people are gullible believe it or not, if you experienced more in the real world you’d realize truly how many dumb people there are out there.
This may not be an issue for everyone however, I’ve had my PS5 since launch and recently opened it to increase the storage. I thought whilst it was open I’d clean it as well however was surprised that there was hardly any dust. Definitely not enough to cause any issues.
The pictures shown of dust I’d imagine are extreme cases. I think a lot will depend on room ventilation and air quality.
If you have a dirty room or have your ps5 in an open area it will be prone to dust build up
Its all depending on how clean everything else is because if there's a ton of dust on the fan itself clean yo room
Bro I did the same. Hardly any dust when I opened mine up
I’m still trying to get a ps5
Exactly depends how u treat ur ps5 and what's around u
@@thebutchersboy1138 I got one for you let me know if you need it
Doing this every 6 months is great, but in between make sure to check those vents, remove the face plates and give them a good cleaning (check the dust catchers with a vacuum as well).
It's a fast process and if you do it frequently enough you'll have less gunk reaching the fans - and worse - the heatsink.
Cleaning dust from your console is 101 of what any owner should do. Don't understand why people are surprised to see dust when they haven't cleaned it in months or years
exactly, I been maintance, not just PS Consoles (Like PS3-now), but PC and other consoles like nintendo gamecube fans etc. This isnt something new.
People just forget, not that deep
@@aegis5986 yeah or they don’t care lol. Unless it’s completely clogged the average person will be fine.
I've never opened up a console and cleaned it. Had my ps4 since launch and never opened it, worked until i traded it
@@balloonedraccoon2503 🥱
I never take apart and clean my consoles for the simple fear that I'm gonna mess it up. I just try to keep the outside of it as clean as possible. Dust buildup has never been a problem for me.
watch a disassembly tutorial and follow along, it's not difficult.
Yeah. I tried too hard to obtain a PS5 I’m good on potentially messing it up. I keep it clean. Surface level lol that should be good enough.
i had to take apart my ps4 slim it was a pain because u had to use a knife or a pair of pliers to cut the edges of the plastic screws that are unremovable just to take the metal cover off to get to the fan it took me whole hour but it was worth it because it looked like a cat had puked a giant hairball inside my ps4
Same here I understand people are like it's so easy but it's something I'm not comfortable with especially taken that fan off hell no even the covers on the ps5 is a big pain
Thats just stupid in 2-3 years from now the inside from your PS5 will look like a cellar of a house where nobody have entert for 10 years.
Worse with al that dust your PS5 will be getting hot as an oven. If you clean stuff up, the longer it will run without problems.. Dont be an idiot.....
One tip I can give to someone going to try this on their first time is to take picture before you remove something, so you’ll have a guide when you put it back.
Good advice, but for the ps5 there are like 4 different parts and 4 screws lol
Are USA people this slow? You cant remember how to do a few steps in a correct order?
I did this around 2 weeks ago and my PS5 was absolutely spotless. I can only assume some people have filthy homes if they’re getting that bad. Keep the environment tidy & that’s more than half the battle
That’s what I was thinking, especially when he shows the post at the start showing the amount of dust that had accumulated in a month. I just checked mine which I have since launch and it has pretty much no dust in those vent vanes.
Depends on where you live. Air quality matters, is not just the "filthy home" problem.
He's trying to sell people those screwdrivers so it had to be worst case scenario in the video.
Mine was caked in shit, but I also had all the rear walls removed from the back of my house and an extension built, looks like my ps5 turned into a temporary Henry hoover.
My ps4 caught less dust in 9 years than those ps5 did in 2 years
I took mine apart a few months ago, took the fan out and brushed it all the way through, used a vacuum cleaner to clean dust out of the holes specifically designed for the purpose, and even used compressed air inside and outside to clean the heatsinks, then vacuumed again.
The PS5 is SOOO much easier to clean than the older systems.
👍🏽💯
I'd recommend to never use a vacuum. I killed my og fat ps3 that way. It'll ruin the gpu. The console could basically be useless and not worth repair
@@Snickerus-Snape Shit really?
@@Snickerus-Snape there are holes specifically made for vacuuming. Literally recommended in a Sony video.
@@Snickerus-Snape how can a vacuum damage the gpu?
I have to admit. I'm one of the owners who didn't keep track of the screws as I took them out so of course it was a pain putting back together. So thanks for making that a valid point in the cleaning process.
If you think keeping track of 4 or 5 screws is difficult id love to see you try dismantle and pull an engine from a vehicle without keeping track lol
Loved that Sony made this console very user friendly when it comes to maintenance.
You literally just pop off the covers and you have a few holes where you can just use your vacuum.
same to clean the ps4 you probaly had to remove 40 screws or more
Lmfaooo
@@JesManVP yeah the ps4 was just a big NOPE when it came to disassembling certain parts for maintenance every time I cleaned my ps4 I genuinely worried and would become anxious that “this is the time I finally do something by accident and break it” but with the ps5 super user friendly and done in mere minutes
@@jamiewillis7093 I couldn't agree more I remember I broke my PS4 because I was trying to clean it it would overheat all the time and it was awful I didn't care if my PS4 broke because I ordered a ps5 and during the time the ps5 was coming in a month honestly the PS4 felt like it was the easiest to collect dust the PS3 had no issue overheating anyways ps5 is very good I recommend anyone with no experience to look at videos when cleaning it because it's simple
Not a skill set I expected to need 🤷♂️🤷♂️
Even just taking off the plates, wiping and vacuming what u can has served me well. I wouldnt trust myself disconnecting any electrical components.
Depending on where you live and whether you have pets or a smoker (of any kind) in your home, you might want to give it a cleaning every 3 months or at least check it that often. That works for my situation with a couple of very hairy cats in an apartment. Also, air cans are way expensive now. Don't forget to use a vacuum to get the main stuff out before you start blowing dust through the system.
@ᱬ Sad B!tch ᱬI don't doubt that many players never have a problem. These things are almost bullet proof. I was surprised by the fact that my PS4 didn't stop earlier. It was grossly plugged with 5 years worth of everything from the places I lived. I'm watching the PS5 more closely as the PS4's was a sad, uncool, and an, as always, untimely death.
I have an alaskan malamute. So i feel that. 😂
I feel bad for my consoles sometimes cause I live in Texas always dry here we live down a dirt road I have cats and a dog and I smoke I might go clean it right now actually lmao
The tar from the smoke seems to bond with the hairs and make nice little clumps. I got an airfilter for my consoles health not mine.
@@NunayahBuisness It does bond. Wish I could post a pic of my old PS4 fan here. Just wow. I have to say, the PS4 was a rugged beast. It should have had problems much earlier. I like the idea of a filter for the PS5.
Something important that was failed to mention in the video is when taking the shells off the console.
Which you have to hold the top corner that is on the front side and hold the bottom corner on the opposite side which is the back. The important part he forgot to mention is you have to Pull and PUSH down. Not just pull off or otherwise you can break the parts that attatch the shell to the console
First video he already mentioned how to do so. By this time most users should already know how. Even Playstation has instructions on how to do so on RUclips as well
Wdym pull and push
A lot of people don’t realise lots of dust can be mitigated by using a dust cover. Whenever your not using the ps5 just slot the cover on top and it’s prevent at least 80% of the dust build up over time. 😊
I’ve been doing this for a while now and compared to my ps4, there’s been basically no dust buildup.
I would do this but having this c9ver over my ps5 looks ugly. I like how the ps5 looks next to my tv
**you're
I have done on that on every console I owned. I always cover them up when I'm not using them
I’ve found that placing the ps5 on its side rather than upright with the stand screwed in is less prone to allowing dust to build up.
I have mine with some covers when I'm not using it and the Series X. No issues so far
I can’t get over the amount of people not talking about this solution 😂 so many comments and you’ve been the only one to bring up
Love your videos. Helpful, short and straight to the point
??
@@thacaptain8484 it’s a bot
i’ve realized it’s super important to do this, i’ve had my ps5 since it came out & never cleaned it til about a month ago when i was forced to because my ps5 randomly started sounding like a HELICOPTER, cleaned the dust out of it & it’s back to normal now
Another tip!!
When the fan is out, use air duster to blow dust out of the heatsinks whilst you have easier access to them!
Remember to take a shower. Gamers are the filthiest people.
Agree, this should be the whole point of removing the fan for a regular user
@@s173nc10 I was pretty sure he was planning to do this, why go through all that effort and leave the dust stuck in the heatsink vents 🤗
I've cleaned mine Atleast 3 times now, just depends on your house/area
Live in north africa it's crazy
And if it stands in an area where dustbuildup is slow or fast. Its the same with computers, they are somewhat very weak vacuumcleaners ^^"
Mine had a dead rat inside hadn't cleaned it since release day..grabbed the water hose now its good as new
At this point I’d rather just get a new ps5
Bruh. Or just pay some money to get some pro clean it for you
I haven't taken my ps5 out of the box for ages and it still looks new
Why does he just have a stroke at 2:09
Rip😂😂😂
I just ordered mine, and didn't realize how easy it is to take apart and clean it. I'm definitely going to do this, hate to see how much dust is inside my PS4 slim.
Forgot to mention that you can and should use one soft paint brush to help removing the dust from the fan area.
I live in a super dusty island environment and have to clean regularly (every month or so). D-brand makes plates that have filters over the fans intakes that cut down the dust build up substantially. Ever since i got em i only have to take the fan out 2 times a year. Highly recommend them if you’re getting a lot of build up. 👍
Me to My Ps5 had a Rat living inside..had to put it outside for a couple days😑😑
Always cleaned it like this during the 1 year warranty, but after the warranty was over I looked up some videos of deep clean and disassembled the ps5. I was scared the whole time while at it. It was worth it, it wasn't as dirty as I thought it would be.
Just cleaned my PS5 today since I bought it in December of 2020… so much dust!! Managed to clean it all up with a vacuum and q tips to clean the inside fan. So happy I did that now I feel like my PS5 can breath better!
What I also highly recommend ps5 owners to do while cleaning the fan is to flash a light down to the bottom of the ps5 to check for dust build up. That’s actually where the battery is. For 5 months, my ps5 kept turning off while playing games and overheating. This is the reason why. Use a brush and a vacuum to get rid of the dust that’s on the battery.
*powersupply not battery
@@impala403yea ps5 does not have a battery
definitely check and clean … within my first year of owning my PS5 shut off randomly after about 30 minutes of usage. At my old house, the dust build up was really bad since my room was so small. So for about 9-10 months, I just gave up and thought my PS5 was broken forever. I really don’t know why opening up my system and cleaning the fan and everything inside didn’t cross my mind. As I moved into my new house a few months ago, I decided to give it a try because, hey why not at this point lol. After a quick clean and usage of a compressed air can, the system was good as new. I could leave it on for days if I really wanted to. The moral of the story is if your system is constantly turning off after short usage, just clean your fans. Don’t be like me lmfaooo
Ill wait till that point to risk it not going to be opening shit up to break it prematurely
I don't have PS5 yet, and i still watch this
I've cleaned my PS5 like 5 months ago (without cleaning the fan) so soon i will need to do it again... Im kinda scared with that fan part lol.
Ya that’s what I’m saying
I hear ya man, I'm super prone to f@#$ things up even with what seem to be simple things lol
I've been cleaning my ps5 for 5 months all the times.
This is probably the easiest fan to take off from a ps5. If yall follow Sonys guide on their youtube channel, yall will be fine, plus the peace of mind knowing the instructions are coming from Sony directly
Great video! It is scary the first time you remove the covers but once you do it and see just how simple it is, it’s a piece of cake later. Thank you for making and sharing this video
I'm about to do mine for the first time which always sucks. I have taken apart my ps4 pro tons of times for deep cleaning and thermal paste swap. Didn't realize you could access the fan a lot quicker on the ps5 vs the ps4 pro.
I like how you said "placing your hands in the correct position" and did not proceed to explain what the "correct position" is 😂, genius
Pro tip I’ve been using for a while and works great, to clean the fan u can just use Cotton swabs to remove the dust and less risky
Bought a £15 cleaning and disassembly kit from Amazon, heatsinks and the 'cheese grater' radiator block behind/below the fan are definitely the cause of most overheating issues as they get clogged very quickly, especially in dusty environments, I cleaned my heatsinks a few times and still had issues, so had to reach further into my console with a toothbrush to clean the radiator block itself. Definitely worth a look if anyone is having console issues, I could have made sculptures with the amount of dust I got.
could you link or tell me which disassembly kit you bought?
I had the issue that the ps5 was turning off while playing ps5 games after like 45 mins or so, it was def overheating. I took time today to fully disassemble the system to clean the heatsink. I was shocked how many dust was stuck between the heatsink and never got the issue again.
When you’re cleaning the fan and blowing dust everywhere, I recommend NOT doing it right over the console. Also do this entire procedure outside or in a very well ventilated area. No point in cleaning the dust out if it’s still in the same area it’s going to sit in once you’re complete.
0:10 Its me. I am users.
I own a Series X and cleaning is super important. I feel bad for many console owners of this gen because they will soon find out that surface level cleaning can only go so far. It may be beneficial to deep clean ALL dust from the console - mainly the cooing fins for the Heat Sink.
I own series x too but seeing this compared to series x my series x doesn’t need cleaning as it does have self cleaning system I wish Sony could do the same for their consoles rather than having to take the console apart just to clean the dust haha
@@thedeep3759 "self cleaning system" dude if you don't clean your console it's gonna fill up with dust. Your Xbox does not prevent months and years of dust buildup.
@@thedeep3759I have series X too, but I don't believe for second that claim. I've never seen system that wouldn't get dust accumulation 😊
If your going to take it apart, might as well make it have positive air flow(meaning the fans have more intake air than out. Which pushes air out gaps instead of sucking in dust). Then filter for the intake(s). Dunno if possible, but thats more ideal. My pc virtually dust free and I haven't cleaned it in 2 years, beyond intake filters.
just some fine screening, just like some PC cases like the Corsair 570X has will do the job without gimping airflow.
This is a ps5…. Only 1 fan…
@@exb940That doesn't take away anything I said. Intake filter and boom!
@@krich106 okay but what does anything you said have to do with a ps5...
@@exb940 so your ps5 isnt a mess after 6months. Sony just being cheap.
I've had a white PS4 since the launch of destiny. Never opened it to clean it once, I have cleaned the the sides a few times and its usually caked with dust and sticky weed smoke. Still runs great to this day. Only issue is that it doesn't do the beep when I turn it on or off.
Been keeping mine clean since release. Good tip if your lazy, keep a microfiber cloth or any large cloth to cover the top of your system when not in use. You’ll only have to clean it once a year if your consistent with it.
This is exactly what I do, of course after I let it cool down. 😊
Literally just spent a couple of hours spring cleaning my room.

I believe the fam is being blocked by the exterior panel's on the side will block ventilation
I have already done these steps 2 or 3 times. Now I have just been keeping my PS5 well clear of dust and out in the open with plenty of airflow.
Thats the way to go! 👍🏽
I keep my PS5 out in the open too but it still collects dust
I also use a cover for it while I'm not using it, really helps a lot with dust accumulation.
I put a blanket over it so no dust gets inside also my ps5 stay warm
@@Grandmatabby :))) dude.
What's being avoided is the conversation of who keeps a clean room, and who doesn't. I just popped my PS4 for a fan replacement/clean and it was not as bad as I thought. Some of those PS5s pictured looked like they were stationed in bars that still allow smoking.
I typically clean my computers at least once a year as well. I have had my PS5 for a year now and the dust inside was a lot more than I thought it would be. All cleaned and ready to go again!
One thing I don’t understand
Stckdrift is the main controller problem however you have to take apart the entire controller to get to the sticks
Thank you very much for the reminder!
I do console repairs for me and friends from time to time so I had seen some consoles in really bad shape but never a bad case with my own stuff.
So I thought my PS5 (which i have since a year now) would also take some time to get dust build up but OH MAN WAS I WRONG!
Maybe the spot where it stands isn't as open as I hoped it would be... I'll definitely set myself a reminder every 6 month to clean it.
With your instructions it definitely won't hurt it. :)
Cheers!
What type of screwdriver is it?
@@alswearengine4867 You'll need a Torx Security TR8 driver / bit for the fan. everything else (except for the stand for which you can use a coin / flat head) should be tool-less
@@Palte thank you.
I’ve had mine since November 2020, just last weekend popped it open to put in an SSD and saw almost no dust anywhere. The console sees multiple hours of use almost every day.

I got my ps4 in 2014 and have never once dusted it. Still runs fine

I know things need maintenance but when I have to juggle living creatures, what makes me money, and my fun machine. I’m so sorry I forgot the fan.
There's no excuse to forget the fan, you should show more dedication and dismiss your family or something. All hail the fan!

Thanks for the help! Upgraded internal SSD and removed and cleaned the fan as well as fins and dust ports, you rock!
Pro tip, wherever you have your PS5, put an air guardian (purifier) in that same room, leave it on low at all times. It filters out the dust in the air.
That’s from IllumiPure, right? I wanna make sure I’m on the right site.
purifiers leave strange residue on my discs
Bro took that cover off so easy… I’m here struggling to take these shit off 💀
Edit: I guess I didn’t have a security driver version. Its ok though nothing pliers cant fix getting the other two screws out. The person I learned what driver to get didn’t say security driver but I know the difference now.
I love how you can easily unscrew the fan screws. Two of mine got stripped nearly instantly. These types of screws seem so terribly designed with the little metal bit in the top middle where the driver goes so that they cant be better fitted deeper. Its like 5% of the drivers tip can fit in to the screw causing it to to keeps slipping over the edge damaging the screws.
That mean you used the wrong size bit bro. Got to use the right tool
You mean you didn't use a security bit? (Hole in the middle) I don't have any and I'm lazy. I use a flat head and also torx for like 2 that I can fit just fine. Of course if your smart and carefully unscrew them without stripping them. Otherwise it should be easy to do with no issues
Perhaps you should use the right tool for the job next time, instead of being the tool.
@@oscarfunez3806 T8H torx bit? Used it and two screws unscrewed just fine. It fit fine, but yea I guess it wasn’t security. Damn.
@@pointdelusion8491 Huh. Weird. Guess it's just luck. Sometimes when they produce the screws it isn't always perfect. I suppose that really the company that produces those screws and ports them to Sony. Mines were fine. Fortunately I don't have a security torx so I had to break the middle point or use the flat to carefully unscrew. They aren't so tight to begun with
Just cleaned mine today. I have a launch model and there was more dust in there than I anticipated. Not bad for 2 years though so I’ll probably give it another go yearly or so just for maintenance. It’s reallt not hard to do a quick cleaning. Most people will go the entire gen without cleaning it though. Dust accumulation varies depending on the room you keep it in. But dusting counters and such as well as vaccuuming or sweeping regularly can help mitigate this as well.
Never cleaned my launch ps4 never had a problem with so won't clean my ps4 only time Il took plates of was to insert ssd
My got alot of dust because I was renovating my house got luck didn't overheat
Have never cleaned my ps5, I believe it took me around ten years before I blew the sides of my ps4 let alone even consider taking it apart, so I will try going that long with this device as well.
Simple and effective 👍

@@MrBrentEC if I can do it u can to bro all u gotta do is grab both ends of the white plastic that got the wires don't go further down try going as high as you can because if you grab the plastic underneath it will fuck up the motherboard but anyways once you grab on wiggle the connector left and right while also moving it up a little it will take some time but that's the safest way
@@JesManVP cheers man, I'm pretty cautious now and don't take the fan out very often at all.
You forgot to mention the Dust that builds up inside the PS5 system.
When you remove the Fan and look down inside the console to where the power unit is.
I clean my console regularly, but just recently found this on reddit. My console just turned off in the middle of playing, due to overheating.
It's very hard to reach with a vacuum, but theres small holes. Mine were completely sealed. I used compressed co2 to blow the dust out.
It's very important to clean too.
Greetings and nice video.
Hot tip: wall mount your console. Better airflow. Safe space. And lastly doesn’t collect as much dust
Cool , my ceiling fan is mounted high but catches all the dust ?! 🤷
Ceiling fans have a static cling issue also people leave them running all day. If yours is getting bad fast. Change your return filter for your hvac more and vacuum.
I have putting my PS5 horizontal day one, why? Its better cous the dust in not falling in it when you set it vertical....
Some of these steps can be very difficult to do like removing the fan inside your PS5 console yeah I don’t think I want to do there since I’m not professional like you John bro and you are so good on giving these steps for us to learn and what we should do and it’s always good to learn your videos but sometimes it can be hard to know what you are doing it’s not easily for most people like me but great tips on how to learn to clean the PS5 console
I don't understand, to disassemble the fan its maybe 3 or 4 steps in total but ok, maybe its too hard for some people.. If you want to be less scared, take apart an old electronic (phone, remote, idk) that you don't care if it breaks and get used to cleaning and taking apart stuff like this. There's plenty of things you can do, but if you don't take care of your stuff, its your fault if it breaks or starts to malfunction

Get a dust cover for whatever orientation u keep it in, only take it off when you actually use it... Won't have to worry about this...
I recently took the plates off to clean mine, and it was a lot easier than I expected. I was surprisingly nervous about doing it but it’s not too bad and I don’t think I’ll have any issues doing it next time. Disconnecting the fan to clean is another issue entirely though!
Thank u I'm definitely gonna try this on my imaginary PS5 🥰
So let me tell y’all a little story on when I tried to fix the joysticks on my DualShock ps4 remote. So I opened it and cleaned/ messed around with the Joysticks and I got them working perfectly 😁 only problem is that none of the other buttons seem to work anymore 😬
I'm glad that it looks pretty easy to clean up a playstation nowadays, since dust can ultimately cause way more problems than you initially realize. it's still a far cry from just opening a panel on your computer to check, but at least it's not completely disassembling the entire unit like the ps3 just to get to the fan
It's the cleanest console I've ever had. Went 2 years and had almost no dust. Some but almost nothing the dust catchers are great
After about 1 and half year of usage, my system began overheating and shutting off after 10 min+ sessions. I know better that I have to clean it but I was on it constantly that I kept pushing it back, pulled it, cleaned it, brand new again. Gonna give it another clean this weekend again
I like that on the ps4 when you wanted to take out the fan to clean it up you pretty much had to take apart the whole console and on the ps5 it’s right here under the plate
I clean it with air duster and a dust buster. My fan has never looked as bad as the ones shown in this video.
As someone who's built PC and swap parts this is legitimately the easiest thing.
I don't even own nor plan to own a PS5, but this was relaxing. I hope they're ok though, sounded like they had a stroke at the end.
i’ll let the professionals do ts, with my luck ima break it😭
It's worth getting a dust cover for when not in use.
Bro we've had this problem since the PS3/x360 era. The amount of people who didnt know Sony tells you to remove the top cover on a PS3 to clean it was staggering. (To be fair the OG PS3 has a little screw, they made the PS3 silm snap on like the PS4).
I cleaned mine when I added the ssd I’d recommend not using a dust air spray it’ll only lodge it deeper
ive had mine since launch...recently added a SSD...absolutely no issue with dust
Maybe if the ps5 is normally standing on the floor it might suck in more dust and become a problem. I have mine on a desk and it hardly has any dust inside.
I clean mine every few months, runs great!
That freaking fan cable is wedged in there!!!! I said screw that! I ain’t risking ripping it
can you believe that i have PS4 for 8 years and it works like new :D i never cleaned it and it is so covered with dust like a viking sword somewhere in a dark cave
People need some MERV 13 HVAC filters. Houses must be nasty
For 9 years of ownership of PS1 I never opened the system and never encountered any problem. Selling it I denote as a big mistake!
still suprises me that the consoles still dont use dust filters on the outside
how to void your warranty 101
I vacumed it and its more quiet and works better for me
Yeah I ain’t doing that. This thing $500 and I ain’t getting a refund for breaking it
I got a mesh filter, and usb fans to cool from the outside so the internal fan doesn't need to cranknup.
I’d also recommend a 5$ can of compressed air from like office works it’ll blast out any crap n dust you can’t go wrong, it’s as safe as. Plus it’ll last ½ dozen cleans…
Ok wait, trying to remove the cover is kinda hard and I am also afraid perhaps might spoil it when removing it
I did clean it but the first time i removed the plate i just heard a menacing snap sound.Almost shit my pants.But it was mainly scratching...
I’m going to about 6 months of owning one ima need to clean it soon
