John-Locke_ Posted April 7, 2022 Report Share Posted April 7, 2022 Hi guys. Do these fans work? I've seen some YouTubers say they're pointless. I'm talking about the cooling fans that are attached at the back of the console. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH you dont really need those if your PS5 is placed in a well ventilated area, and the cooling system vents are clean. Better to spend time cleaning the console from the inside than buying a fan. Edit: Just saw that you are are asking for PS4 instead of PS5. But I guess the same thing applies, additionally for PS4 people have had good results by cleaning + replacing thermal paste.
