Sony - My PS4 died :( - View Post

That sucks. If you don't mind me asking how do you have your consoles placed?

I keep mine in a open area so it has plenty of fresh air to circulate. No problems, fan is only loud on startup but quickly quiets down.

Last gen consoles failure rates were tied more to lead free solder than anything else.
that's why the fix for the 360, PS3, and occasional Wii was to reball/reflow.
Lead free solder is garbage.

Open area. I used to have my PS3 in the same spot, but move it next to the TV since I'm running out of space and don't want it to place on top of the other electronics.

It's been over a week, and I still haven't received the box :(
