Does anyone know how much space is needed around ps4 for cooling? If i use it it has 1 inch space on the left and right side and plenty in the front and back. I know it exhaust from the rear but do you think having it under the desk is a bad idea?

There are some free files on Thingiverse if you have a 3D printer 🙂

I wouldn't think it'd have an especially negative impact, unless you're running a space heater under the desk or something. You could maybe see if you could find one that has perforated holes throughought and maybe open sides, so that it'd let a bit more ventilation through. If nothing else you could probably mount a fan setup there as well (or just put a box fan under the desk or something).

I'm pretty sure all of the ventilation comes out the rear of the PS4.

I don't know if this matters or not, but just keep in mind the PS4 and PS4 Pro have different dimensions. The Pro is a bit larger. I'm not sure if you have a PS4 you measured out to put in there and/or planned on upgraded to a PS4 Pro, but make sure the Pro fits in there if that is in the plans.

Yes its a PS4 Pro. From what i have found sony suggest like 8 inches on the right left and back side of PS4(heat exhausts out back like you said)

I have mine under a small shelf on my desk and it hasn't caused any issues. It's a real tight fit too. I'd think that shelf would work fine.

According to the engineers the intakes are on the sides I think. They had diagrams showing the airflow. And people have noticed that doing vertical placement causes a noticeable increase in temps and noise as it blocks one of the intake ports. Even in a cramped positions it shouldn't be too bad on it, and it being under the desk will help hide noise anyway.
