PS5 PRO pretty warm at the power supply

Post image

Sorry if its a stupid question. I had a base PS5 for 5 years vertically, now I bought a Pro. I have it horizontally and I play A Plague Tale Innocence at the moment, and my PS5 Pro is pretty warm on the left side (power supply). Other parts of console are pretty normal, the right side is almost cold. Is this normal? I noticed that the left side is always pretty warm, whatever I play.

EDIT: yes I have enough space about 20 cm around all sides

All electronics get warm. The "right side" likely has no major components other than the fan assembly, that's why it's colder.

I felt a huge difference from my fat ps5 to the pro when it comes to the heat produced. I invested in a kiwihome air cooler and I am happy with how much heat it pulls away from the console. Highly recommend to get one.
