    If your having issues with your PS4 heating up and the fan constantly running, I found that if you elevate your PS4 about 2 inches up off the platform it sits on helps cool it down faster. I used a couple of DVD's stacked on each side to prop it up. BTW this is no joke, it really does work.

      I just have a fan it sits in the fan holds the ps4 and holds the psvr charges all the controllers at once but yours is better I can guarantee that because the fan isn’t cheap

      You are so right man! I did exactly the same I just used old ps2 games wich have the same format as DVD'S😀... tbh I even put a "plastic bag"(flexible packaging plastic shaped like a bag) over the ps4 whenever it's turned off, to prevent dust etc. from getting in😅
      Don't know if it helps just makes me feel better and it wont damage anything

      @Mori-Bryan Jin I have another other solution it worked for me. i have tried what you are saying even open the top cover of ps4 to cool it down but didn't work for me so i opened my ps4 and open it through the heatsink and i cleaned all the dust stick on the heat sink it is best way to keep fan voice low and after that it doesn't even over heat only thing is that you have to clean it every 3 to 4 month coz dust will come again.

      ***** Not really. I've talked to some smokers to have a better understanding of what can drag someone toward cigarette. Believe me, there are many. A dad's friend switched to e-cigarettes about a year ago and lives a better, healtier life ever since. Some people use the e-cigarette as a transition to stop smoking, since non-smokers like us can't really comprehend how hard and painful it is to stop once you've started it. Yes, some people does it to look cool and second-hand smoke disgust me at the highest point, unlike flavoured steam. Just don't spit on smokers, but on cigarette itself.

      +Colonel Epicness But the word is what it means... In the end you said what you thought using the wrong word. Still, it was their choice to smoke. I know a person who used to smoke and quit it. It was hard for them to do it for the first months. I don't believe that in all cases smoking is to look cool. To some, smoking is like a placebo, a relief. And most of them know its side effects.

    3:56 be careful with this, you have to verify that the charger is adecuate to charge the controller, if you miss that you'll burn the chip of the controller until it gets useless one day. The fast chargers generally are the ones that do this.

    As a minor precaution, I'd just say that some mobile chargers can be a petty nuisance to utilize as a DS4 Charger/Connector (to fx PC). I occasionally connect my DS4 stick to the PC for games optimized for controllers, like Dark Souls. I've always had a problem with how loose the cord is connected to the DS4. If i lie my PS4 stick down on the floor, it'll just disconnect because of how mediocre the mobile charger solution is.

    Just a heads up about using a phone charger for your controller, watch out for the voltage and how long you charge it for (past it being full) it could overload the battery. I used to do it and eventually my controller wouldn't hold a charge, I'm still not 100% sure if it was the charging but it was fine before I started doing it.🤷‍♂️
