Just bought a brand new PlayStation 4 off amazon and it started over heating. I don’t what to do. I felt around the back and didn’t feel air coming out. Was I sent a faulty PlayStation?

Is the Playstation giving you an overheating signal? My PS4 used to be REALLY loud and get pretty hot and one day it said it was overheating, so I took it to a different environment and it didn’t do that again but was still loud so I cleaned the fans as I have had for about 3-4 years. That fixed it. Point is- You just got it right? So the fans must not be a problem and there can’t be dust so I would try to get another one if you REALLY think its a problem and they let you. Other than that, unless you get an overheating problem(Like the console says it, TRUST me, you’ll know, it acts like its a melt down lol) then I would say its fine. If you don’t feel air, maybe the fans don’t need to, the console can get hot, mine does and my fans arent super loud. There built to withstand this pretty well. Is it loud in ANY way? Like when it boots up or when you play a game, do you hear any form of sound? Because that would be the fan doing its job, you won’t feel air most likely early in a game or at the home screen.

Whenever i play bo3 my ps4 says “ps4 too hot” so one day i couldnt take it anymore so i decided to open the ps4 up myself and blew the dust out with a vaccum cleaner put everything back the way it was meant to be and now the fan blows louder and whnever i try to load up a game not even a good 5 mins it shuts down ! Does anyone know what might be the problem dont wanna get rid of it because it means alot to me !

If you play it too long that will happen.

Are those fans really necessary?
