The article's title is slightly misleading in that the overheating and crashing is happening in graphics mode

If this is happening to you look up how to clean the inside of your ps5. The ps5 has a special place you can vacuum out the inside (which normally breaks electronics)

Source for this "special place?" Also the act of vacuuming alone is not what kills electronics, it's the static electricity their fans generate that could discharge into electronics and kill them. The safer method is compressed air, either by a limited-use can or an electric air compressor.

Sure thing; Sony shows it in the official teardown of the ps5.

Thanks. I've seen this video before but didn't notice this part.
