Those concerned about their PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 4 console overheating that don't mind voiding the warranty may be interested in a PS5 Fan Mod or PS4 Fan Mod in the form of an Adjustable Speed Accelerator Controller modification from Circuit Surgery on eBay, which sells for around $20.63 (£14.99) each with $15.27 (£11.10) for Royal Mail International Track shipping.
PlayStation 5 (PS5) Fan Payload
Details of the solderless PlayStation 5 Adjustable Fan Accelerator plug-and-play modification from the product page include:
This is a small module that can be fitted to your console that will increase the speed of the fan by a percentage of the speed set by the console that can be set by the user. This helps keep your console cooler and therefore less likely to develop problems associated with heat.
The user can set the amount by which the fan speed will be increased in 10% steps, from 10% to 100%, by simply setting the rotary switch. The switch is operated using a small (2mm) flat-bladed screwdriver, which can be obtained here.
Easy to fit: no soldering required, just unplug the fan, plug this module in its place and then plug the fan into the module.
You will need to open the console in order to fit the module, so please be aware that this will invalidate your warranty. IT WILL NOT FIX A BROKEN CONSOLE!
Here's a list of the PS5 / PS4 modification products currently available from Circuit Surgery on eBay or CircuitSurgery.com, with the related color-coding descriptions for those interested in console hardware mods:
