PS5 Overheating Prevention Guide – Keep Your Console Cool and Running Smoothly | GameConsoleRepair.ca

PS5 overheating in Edmonton? During gameplay, shutting down, or becoming unusually loud, it’s a sign that the console is struggling to cool itself properly. At GameConsoleRepair.ca, we help Edmonton gamers diagnose and fix overheating issues caused by dust buildup, worn thermal paste, or internal cooling failure.

Why PS5 Overheating in Edmonton Happens

Dust Buildup Inside the Cooling System

Over time, dust blocks airflow around the cooling fans and heatsinks, trapping heat inside the console. This is one of the most common reasons a PS5 begins overheating or producing loud fan noise.

Old or Dry Thermal Paste

The PS5 uses high-quality thermal paste between the processor and heatsink. After long hours of gaming, the paste can dry out, reducing heat transfer and causing sudden temperature spikes.

Poor Ventilation

If the PS5 is placed in a tight space, on carpet, or near heat sources, airflow becomes restricted. This leads to consistent overheating even if hardware is functioning properly.
