StaceyPowers Posted May 29, 2021 Posted May 29, 2021 When the weather is blazing hot, what steps do you take to protect your console?
Patrik Posted May 30, 2021 Posted May 30, 2021 Here where i live, houses are built different, and there's a floor decoration that works like glass (except that it's not glass), it's cold the whole time no matter what season it is, so i used to lay my ps2 there the whole time
Family sedan Posted May 30, 2021 Posted May 30, 2021 I try to never play for more than two hours at a time.
Crazycrab Posted May 30, 2021 Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) Not surprisingly it's a rare problem in Scotland but I have been known to use a damp dish towel when my console's fans where really screeming. However I honestly think it's better just to turn them off for while. Edited May 30, 2021 by Crazycrab
Empire Posted May 30, 2021 Posted May 30, 2021 Cool location in your house, Mostly people so not worry about it as the system should able to keep itself cooler anyway. Like PCs the fans spins faster and whatnot as it gets hotter. When it's a hot day, My PC is off as it's in a hot room and as I turn the PC on I tend to fail in the warm first before the PC.
The Blackangel Posted May 30, 2021 Posted May 30, 2021 My body can't handle high temperatures, which is why I keep the AC going to about 60°-65° (15.5°-18.3° Celsius) in the house. Being that cold is usually enough to dissipate the heat extremely well.
Family sedan Posted May 31, 2021 Posted May 31, 2021 Something I'll do to keep from shorting out consoles is play with one for five straight days, then switch to the other, or just take a five day break from gaming.
skyfire Posted May 31, 2021 Posted May 31, 2021 These days I feel like air conditioner is necessary and it is not easy to make use of the weather specific speculation and so the air conditioner.
m76 Posted May 31, 2021 Posted May 31, 2021 I never had a problem with consoles overheating even when it was 35C° in the room. Shagger 1
Withywarlock Posted May 31, 2021 Posted May 31, 2021 Keep saying "it's too hot" and "it's boiling in here," though it's not guaranteed to work. Back when I played consoles I'd point my fan at it, or at least have it rotate so it could better circulate the air in the room.

killamch89 Posted June 1, 2021 Posted June 1, 2021 I have ACs running throughout my place so it's very cool all the time and so I don't experience these issues with any consoles or PCs.
Reality vs Adventure Posted June 2, 2021 Posted June 2, 2021 I haven't thought about that, but I do need to move my system to a better ventilation area. I have a sound bar right behind it blocking air flow.
