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.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
