My (current) PS4. Sony replaced the one that overheated (the fan went overdrive and the system got very hot, and then it just stopped working).

 

My email that I got from Sony about the repair/replacement. Only proof I have of that, since I didn't take any pics of the old console.

 

Sorry bout the image quality, need to get a new phone. Also blotted out some personal info, you can do a reverse image search if you want to know if this is an original picture.


Ye dekne ke baad mujhe bohut bura laaga. Tumhara bad luck chal rahahe. Dont worry its under warranty.

haha, ab sub tihke, mera PS4 ab ucha chalrahe

Well the PS4 is like half the size and it doesn't have an external AC adaptor. Yet it has no overheating problems either...?

Maybe PS4 had better engineers. 


Japanese design better electronics? Hmm, never realized it.

You bunch of bullies! Leave Xbox alone. We accept that it has failed in every way possible, now.

Well Microsofts core business is Software, not hardware, that is where they earn their billions.


Also I think they didn't want to point to the past, They wanted to make sure, with out a doubt RROD never happened again. This system has enough room to cool down, even when people put them in tight areas. I wouldn't close it up in a box but I think that was some of the feeling. Do not let that f'ing thing over heat was passed down, the engineer made sure.

The reason RROD occurred was because of faulty soldering.

They didn't have Cerny.

With out the heat the soldering would have held.

Aye but there's the rub: the solder was meant to hold together components that generate heat. Better cooling wouldn't actually help the problem because heat goes through the solder before it reaches the fan. Thats why newer models had less chance of RROD with either same fan, in the case of the S models, or what ever the second revision 360 were called, and in the slim models ith smaller fans because they used higher grade heat resistant solder.

In fact, overheating has been blown out of proportion for consoles.
