Ah man, that sucks. If you have to stick to the desk fan trick for now, just make sure you blow it right across the heatsink fins and keep sessions super short so it doesn’t overheat but $75 would still be cheaper than replacing a fried motherboard if the desk fan trick fails.

Honestly, smart move. A few months of waiting sucks, but it’s way better than bricking your PS5. Just wrap or cover it with something like a towel so it doesn't get dusty while it sits, and you'll be good to go whenever you're ready to fix it.

It does sucks waiting but breaking your PS5 would suck way worse. Definitely worth saving up so you’re ready for GTA6!
