nrs1nrs1 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Anyone else get their first "The PS4 is too hot" message while running this game? Seems to turn my PS4 into a grill it runs so hot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamer5xH Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Huh? There's a message like that? I never had an issue like that. My other issues technical mostly maybe because of my connection but re3 didn't had a technical problem . I did not and will not play resistance .

Helyx Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 You'd almost think it was summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asimb0mb Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Never had that message, despite having very loud fan noise on my PS4 Pro in other games. RE3 was relatively quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking that too, but my console sits in a really good spot with good airflow and an air conditioner sitting basically right next to it. Not ruling out the summer heat as a catalyst for the heatsink finally giving up, but this is the first time its happened and I've heard others say their console pooped itself playing Resident Evil 3 as well.

Jachroth05 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I had this problem too, i was really scared because it was the first time the message appeared too, the console reached temperatures of 40°C (104°F) or higher, but it was because the heatsink was clogged with dust and caused that the thermal paste dried faster, so you may want to take it for maintenance, or learn how to do it yourself it's very easy with proper guidance, and since then not even God of War makes the cooling fan go wild anymore.

Infected Elite Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 It has more to do with your system probably. Clean it. Take it apart maybe. Your own discretion. However ive seen comments that peoples ps4 pro fans get loud etc, ive never had mine get loud. I've only ever had a game crash CE34878-0. Resident Evil 3 ran fine for me the entire time as did LoU2, MGS V (on pro). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything's running well now! Guess RE3 got my ass to finally clean the heatsink lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can build my own desktop PC, but I've never been brave enough to dismantle a PlayStation system. Hehehe... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always nervous when removing the power supply since its on a super large two-pronged plug, but beyond that its just making sure everything is disconnected, you've put all the screws in a safe container for reassembly, and being delicate with delicate parts! I did go ahead and reapply thermal paste since I think I might've overdone it on a previous disassembly, which was just wiping the processor and backside clean with some tissue until both were completely clean then applying a small amount to the center. The heatsink is so far inside the box that I don't blame anyone who feels uncomfortable essentially dismantling their entire console. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
