Does this cause the PS4 to overheat? There is no vent

I haven't had any issues with overheating. The PS4 actually still breathes quite well.

No, there is a space between the stand and the vents in the edge of the system, I would argue it has better flow direction for cooling due to the design. So if your looking to buy it's a good envestment, I have personally purchased tosa stands since the ps2 thick, and never had any problems. This stand has been the best though with the adding of 3 USB ports rather than stands in the past just relocatiating / extending the used port. Don't worry about it and just go for it!

No I never have overheating issues..heat dissipates up so a vent on the bottom wouldn't matter

I havent had any issues with overheating. All other sides and vents are open, and the vents on the bottom are partially exposed cuz the ps4 does not fit flush onto the base. It is raised up just a bit for breathing. But it is still very stable.

If you are using it for a serious gaming machine, it may shut down from overheating itself. Otherwise it seemed to cool itself fine.

Probably not. Sounds like you have something not venting / vented properly.

I'm using mine to set a ps4 on top to keep it some what cooled down istead of lying it on a solid surface creating more heat in between. fits just right are you using it obviously for a laptop right still no matter how you place it, its better then on a solid surface.

The vents are in the back. When you are using the GPU, it gets HOT and will shut down if you have the lid closed. When the lid is open, it still gets warm. I have run it for hours and not had issues.

Fyi people, if your system is already overheating this isn't going to stop it! You need to open it up, clean it and inspect to ensure your internal fans still work.

Hmmmmm I never tried mine until I installed it but that don't sound good. You made sure you had somthing in it to heat up because if there is nothing inside you won't feel any heat.

True, the bottom is not vented. Must remove from case when you use the console. It is a well built case!

It is not loud .. but it did not prevent my PS3 from overheating .. it might work for you ..

It may be overheated. Mine did this sometimes after it was on for a long time. Try turning it off and giving it time to cool.

You can't really solve it. The heat is a byproduct of the amplifier. You can search here for USB powered fans that will sit on top of the unit and add additional cooling that work nicely and plug right into the USB port on the front for around 15$. In a properly vented area, without a fan, the heat isn't burning. It's more along the lines of a heating pad on low, or medium after prolonged use. Its only when the unit isn't vented properly that the heat gets to the higher temps of say "high" on a heating pad, or hotter, but even then chances are it won't get hot enough to burn skin unless you hold your hand on it, for an adult at least younger kids might not feel the same. Its worth mentioning that with proper ventilation this unit is fine, after all it wasn't designed to be a grill, it's only through neglect that the heat becomes an issue and even then the receiver will likely break from the heat before it becomes a safety hazard.

Make sure that there is a good airflow. I installed an extra fan in the side of my PC and so far its good. Cases with PSU on the bottom seem to have more issues with overheating if psu is blowing inside

Yes it gets hot when playing, my room is usually warm and that doesnt help i am playing skyrim at 67C-72C, the other thing is that i play with the laptop on my lap, maybe using it at a desk may help, and im planning on buying something to get my room a little bit cooler in the days hehe

I game with it and it does get hot, not hot enough to shut down as some speculate but enough to lag your game. This problem is easily solved with an external cooling solution.

It doesn't have any fans so dont expect this to cool the device. However, if you are using on lap or bed or couch where there will be no vent. This will definately help you keep the device cool and vented.

No, that does not sound normal at all. Mine has never heated up noticeably, even when transferring hundreds of gigabytes. Sounds to me like there's something the matter with yours.

Honestly i had the original hard drive in and played the ps4 for 3 days probably 3-4 hr sessions and it did get warm when i put in the western hard drive i really could not tell the difference it gets warm but never anything past what the orginal did
