My house flooded yesterday, but luckily my game consoles were spared, however the humidity in the house is over 80%. How risky is it to run my PS3, PSTV, or Wii U in these conditions? Thanks in advance.

@Reanfan7 Turning then on isn't risky (I presume), may even dry them a bit. I'd be more worried about the discs themselves. If you can, move them to a drier place.

I am sure you will be ok after all people game in humid places all the time like the East Coast.

100% humidity = rain. I assume you wouldn't worry about your electrical equipment if you had the window open while gaming and it rained outside..!

(If you have a load of condesation running down the walls you might want to worry though lol.)

Yeah, if it's 80% humidity indoors, don't turn a single thing on. Haha.

Outside, no problem. It's getting on for midnight here and its still 40 degrees and 57% humidity.

I run all my consoles even when it hits about 50+ degrees and 80+ humidity. Never had an over heating problem and they aren't even in a well ventilated TV stand.

You should be fine. I've just finished a year in Vietnam and the humidity there is bonkers at times. My Ps4 and flat screen TV had no problems. Mobile phone too.

@Reanfan7 sorry to hear about the flood. Best advice would be sandbags and armbands. How's your home?

I lived in the MS Delta for a year and my stuff worked just fine.
