Hi all,
I recently was using my PS4 when it started smelling like it was burning/smoke. I have the PS4 Pro against the wall under a monitor stand and all the wires were against it (I pushed them under). I've only had the PS4 in this position for 3 days until I noticed the smell today. Also the PS4 works fine, and the fans are not loud.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Both the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X dump a lot of heat out of the rear of the consoles. The overclocked AMD Jaguar CPU cores are hot little buggers. I'd recommend leaving them in open shelving with some good space (free air) between the wall and the back of the unit if you want some longevity from the life of the consoles. I use mine sitting on speaker stands in complete open air, sitting on cut speaker foam to eliminate vibration. They both operate silently and run cool.
