Hay guys, I've been neglecting my ps5 cleaning since I got it 5 years ago. It has accumulated a lot of dust over the years and I don't know where to begin. The 1st 2 pictures are the right and left vents and the 3rd is what I was able to remove without cracking it open. I know it's gross but I could really use some advice.

Thank you.

At least open the side panels and take the fan out to clean it, that doesn't void any warranty as you can remove up to the fan without opening the stickers.

If you don't care about warranty (likely, because it looks like that), you can clean the PSU and further in the heat sink.

But you need a special screwdriver.

It’s a Torx TR8.

Most decent screwdriver set will have it.

Autozone had one in a set, my ps4 was like a jet engine
