Overheat problems
-
How often do you clean the room the system is in? Do you smoke in the house? I would recommend getting some compressed air and cleaning the vents every few months. If you cannot get a system to last longer than to years it is most likely that you are abusing them.

Do you have your console sitting in a cabinet? Do you ever clean the vents?
Mine all sit out in the open and I haven't had any issues with a console since the days of the early Xbox 360 and I've owned all of them.

Tried everything but voodooism. And yes I believe smoking is an issue but heck its an obvious design flaw wouldnt you say? PlayStation ICU I do not wish to compete from. Wearing a mask while I play is out. Unless I start using Zen scripts.

Again I would clean out the vents probably at least monthly. I used to have the same issue so I positioned by system near my back yard and if I get the urge to smoke I can sit outside and swivel the monitor to face me.

I also, at one point, got four tomato soup cans and set my PS4 on top of them to create more air flow.

One of my boys has our old PS3 and PS4, and he uses them both.

Soup cans? Give that a try

My overheat problems have usually been heat sink related btw

I clean the vents every two or three weeks because I have two dogs that can shed like a MFer, routinely dust the table the console sits on etc. There's gotta be something else here with OP, I agree there is built in obsolescence but not to that extent

Does compress air really work?, wouldn't you just be blowing more dust inside the PS4?

Well I believe they need to improv it I aint no genius but commom sense tells me its design not up to what it tries to do. But thanks for the responses . You guys have convinced me Im a slob. LOL
