I also use a small, usb powered fan you can get on ebay or amazon. Leave it on to move air around the case and keep it elevated and that should keep it nice. I use the usb powered fans on my network drive cases when i was having overheating. I even pluged them into the spare usb slot on the NAD to power it!
Here's one on eslay:

I'd recommend something to lift PS4 off the ground to help passively dissipate heat. This made a significant drop in temp and fans having to ramp up on my PS4 Pro.

See this post:

In the summer I used to put it over the vertical base of the ps2

I also detached the lid of the ps4 to let it breathe
In my room I used to put the ps4 on top of caps like these

All I can tell you is I A/C my house to 78F and I still use about 8 of those fans on various heat-producing equipment. I even have a small one on my ps4, right behind the built in rear fan port. I can feel the difference in temperature when I place my hand on the case. In simple physics terms, it acts as a thermal transfer unit, or heat sink. You can even set it on the top of the case and it cools the ps4 down. I'm going to use one on my ps5, which has been reported by some to have cooling issues.
They are cheap enough on ebay...

I keep my house at a nice and cool 64 degrees C. I run hot naturally, and 78F is just unbearable for me.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
