    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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).

    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.

If possible, wear electrician blue rubber gloves to prevent finger markings and damage any chipboard if you need to touch it for any reason. Don't use too much force removing/adding anything, especially screws. Doing so can cause the tension to crack the plastic. When you've accessed the fan, DO NOT MOUTH BLOW THE DUST AWAY. As it's from your mouth , your breathing will add moisture to the blow, and that ain't good!

    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

    Me living in a country in which the PS5 costs 5k and me not having one: "Hmm, alright I'll write this down"

    Exactly this!
    I had added an internal SSD and my PS5 would constantly turn off after about an hour's use. I thought it was the hard drive but someone recommended checking it for dust... It was filthy. Cleaned it out and put the SSD back in, haven't had any issues since.

    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.
