No surprise,they did it on purpose to start preparing our sheep mindsets for the next revision of ps5

 

[Bry0]

Sounds more like a problem with some ps5 having bald spots from Liquid Metal application weirdness. I’m sure ff16 pushes the console up to its thermal limit, and pump out is a thing.

 

[mhirano]

Somebody called me?

Why are you ruining other people gaming sessions?

This may have been answered already, but is there any correlation between the version of heatsink and the likelyhood of this happening? Please correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't the smaller heatsink allow for better air circulation?

Air circulation depends on unobstructed vents, but a smaller heatsink means less contact surface from exchanging heat between the APU and the cold air. Whet it comes to heatskins, the larger the better.
FYI fanless PC systems have huge heatsinks to compensate the lack of active cooling

 

[mhirano]

Edit: sorry for the double posting

 

[MarkMe2525]

The cooling system is NOT controlled by game software....

Never stated as much. The game code controls the components that actually produce heat. This in turn can expose a situation where more heat is being produced the cooling system can dissipate.

 

[Spank_Magnet]

The topic is you should clean your ps5.

I demand we change the title of the thread.

Truth! Deep cleaned my PS5 after multiple crashes while playing Diablo. None since.

 

[Aenima]

One of the outlets that reviewed the game explains in this video that it happened to them on every boss fight and WHY it happens (there’s so much shit going on in the fights), but sure ignore that and focus on a Tweet if it makes it easier for you to dismiss it.

Im about 50% though the game. Fought countless bosses with alot of shit going on the screen. Zero overheat warnings. Zero Crashes. Found Zero Bugs.
Outside of poor optimisation for the 60fps mode, game is very polished.

My room is very hot, about 30c. Need to play with a window open and a fan turned on to not turn the room into a sauna.
My console is very well ventilated from all sides and no obstruction from where the console expells the heat. Just did a light cleaning 1 time since launch by removing the console plates and cleaning the dust around the fan. There was not much dust, but aound the fan grill there was some clusters of dust that i vacumed.

 

[Danjin44]

Having the console overheat in a Ifrit/phoenix themed FF is some Rockstar/Kojima type attention to detail.

Is that the boss fight that they say it causes to overheat? I played the demo 4 times and my console never overheated.

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

My ps5 is clean and I still can't get past the settings screen. Same thing happened with the demo. Seems off. Hope they fix it so I don't waste $70

is this the new "don't put your ps5 vertically"? Jesus Christ...

What's happening?

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

What's happening?

The game will start to boot up. The furthest screen I've gotten to is the "focus on story or action" setting and then I freezes for about 30 sec before giving me an error screen with the code CE-108255-1

So, a couple notes:
- I have done everything from turning off hdr to clearing the cache to totally restoring my playstation
- there are others I found on reddit with the same issues
- I even called playstation and they confirmed the code was based on an issue with the app and not the playstation
- this same issue was had on the 16 demo and no other ga.ed have this issue

I'm pretty frustrated and I've seen nothing posted by Square enix about it. The people at Sony told me I could get a refused because "the app was already opened" I've been dealing with this all day and it feels like $70 wasted

 

[Spukc]

fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

for the people that played the demo

 

[solidus12]

isn’t the first gen PS5 better engineered from a heat dissipation standpoint? It has a bigger heatsink and a lot more copper compared the newer versions.

Though, the latest one compensate with a smaller APU.

 

[ArtHands]

You have to clean your PS5 every 2 weeks. Dont be lazy

That's fucked up... I didn't know they released this with a bug like this. I have disc version.

Thing like that should be fixed with the patch but question is, when?

 

[Markio128]

With what I just witnessed in-game, I’m surprised my PS5 didn’t implode and take half the street with it.

 

[Darchaos]

I clean my ps5 in the dishwasher once a day+taking a shower with it every other day. I dosent work anymore but it sure is clean.

 

[Lokaum D+]

I had a similar problem with GoW Rag, it was dust in the power supply.

 

[tryDEATH]

This should be a compliment to the games. Sh*ts literally fire.

 

[mhirano]

I clean it every time use it after I’m finished.

Just like my D…

Well that's what's worrying me. They haven't put out anything about it. I feel like I'm being left in the dark

Have you tried booting in safe mode and rebuilt the database? Sometimes it solves this kind of stuff

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

Yep. Did everything imaginable. Even reset my console.

 

[Krathoon]

PS5 is some hot shit.

 

[Pimpbaa]

How fast can the fan rev up? Every game I played so far has kept my ps5 very quiet. Even with games with unlocked fps (with VRR).

 

[SegaManAU]

Damn, PS5's overheating at 720p. They will explode at 8K like the box says

 

[TheAmazingSpiderMan]

Played FF XVI for 4 hours in 1 sitting and not once did my fan go off in that entire time, when I put the disk inside it sounded a little loud but that’s normal every time when it reads the disk.

People need to really give the ps5 some breathing room, I have the launch model with the insanely sized heat sink so maybe that helps, also haven’t cleaned it since last year, probably around September.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Wow.. .. I dodged the bullet. I was going to buy it today.

 

[Danjin44]

Wow.. .. I dodged the bullet. I was going to buy it today.

I played demo 4 times and recently did second Eikon fight in the full game and never had overheating issue.

But the console is horizontal right Danji?

No mine is vertical.....

Lo jugué 10 horas seguidas y nunca se recalentó la play, no es realmente un problema común.

Played it for 10 hours today, going through several boss fights on my day 1 PS5, it stayed cool and silent all the way through.

lol yeah right you're probably posting this from the burn unit

 

[hybrid_birth]

More like summer and poor ventilated consoles are overheating. My room is hot as fuck right now but my console is well ventilated, no overheat issues here with the demo or the full game.

Can we gift an air conditioner to this guy. We all need to experience 65 degrees inside when it's hot outside.

 

[Tomeru]

My anecdotal experience:

I didnt turn my console for around 6 months I think. I then started the game when it was at the "ready to play" installation stage. Half way through the opening sequence the ps5 told me its too hot, shut down now.

I tried again and it didn't even let me start the game.

I put the console horizontally, and let the game fully install. I thought about those past fud vids about the liquid metal paste, thought maybe because it stood silent for many months - maybe the paste was affected by gravity, and its not covering the cpu properely (shame on me probably).

Anyway, when the game installed fully, I started the game and it hasn't overheat. I placed the console back in its original phalic position - and you gussed it - no overheat since then, and I'm many hours into the game.

So, take that as you will. I think because the game wasn't installed fully, something was broken with software.

 

[Kamina]

Won't happen on my console.

thanks for the tip, i will check that one out too

 

[Krathoon]

Run a Swiffer over your PS5. If it is really bad, take off the sides and clean out the fan.

One thing that worries me about the PS5 is that liquid metal defect. I hope I never have that.

They probably should not have used liquid metal and just used thermal paste.

I think that you have to live without worries... Because they are already rumors that are spreading on the Internet... After a while when The last of us part 3 comes out they are going to say that the PS5 is overheating.

 

[Krathoon]

The PS5 only has a one year warranty. Way to go, SONY.

I am sure they will try to fix them if there is a defect. They just have to admit to it.

 

[saintjules]

Never had to clean mine yet. Where was yours placed? Got Pets?

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but Xbox and Nintendo have a one-year warranty on the Series X|S and the Switch as well, right?

 

[ConcealedBlaze]

Wait the PS5 isn’t supposed to be vertical? I just game on pc these days but based on the form of the thing I assumed it was supposed to be vertical

 

[Spank_Magnet]

No pets. It’s placed out in the open but there was dust on the fans and heat sinks.
