    My 60 gb RIP after an ex left it on all night with sonic collections paused.

      Sounds like it was heading out regardless, unless there was a massive memory leak or something. Been leaving consoles on for days since the SNES. Not that I recommend it, but it really should not be a problem

        I wouldn’t recommend that for call of duty war zone on PS4. A perfectly clean, barely used and quite new PS4 pro - fans screaming at the top of their lungs and I’m just sitting at the main menu. I eventually shut it off because it sounded so crazy. Never experienced that with any game before or since.

          Oh I don’t doubt it, and I don’t really recommend it for anything but a server. All modern consoles should have an automatic shutdown from overheating after the 360 fiasco. Yes, I understand that doesn’t include the PS3, just kinda rambling at this point I guess. Another thing is that people seem to love squeezing consoles into closed compartments so they can sit there and suffocate in their own heat. Also, cigarette smoke will destroy a console.

            I ended up putting Lego under the corners for additional flow, repasted the APU and that’s about the best I can do. She’s worth it, firmware 9.0

              This guy fucks. Yeah, fortunately I was an Xbox guy and my GoW Pro sat offline forever. I haven’t tested it since I recovered it from a house fire a few nights ago. 🤞
