All consoles have a tendency to run hot, especially if you've got several different machines – cable box, DVD player, sound system, other consoles – running right next to each other. If you've recently invested in the new console generation with a PlayStation 4, there's a way you can make sure your $400 box doesn't get too hot under the hood.
Nyko Announces Wireless Charging Stations For Xbox One, PS4 Controllers
Today game accessory company Nyko announced the release of its PlayStation 4 Intercooler, a fan box that helps get hot air out of the PS4 more quickly. First announced back at E3 as part of Nyko's Modular line of products, the accessory is now hitting store shelves at video game retailers.
The new Nyko Intercooler fits snugly into the back of the PS4 – without blocking the input/output ports, of course. To make sure you're not adding even more wires to the no doubt already cluttered area behind your TV, the Intercooler actually plugs right into the PS4's AC adaptor input. The PS4's power cord is then plugged into the Intercooler itself. Not only does this help reduce wire clutter, but it also allows the fans to turn on and off automatically with the PS4, making sure the fans aren't running when the system doesn't even need it.

"We designed the Intercooler specifically for gamers who keep multiple electronic devices in close proximity to each other at home," said Chris Arbogast, director of marketing at Nyko, in a release.
The PS4 Intercooler is now available in stores for $24.99.
