Blogger 68Logic, which has been repairing game consoles in France since 2010, warned PlayStation 5 owners that vertical installation often causes device failures over time. reported that twitter.
“Don’t hold your PS5 upright. In the end, this will be the result [внутри консоли] – liquid metal will appear in the cooling system, ”the expert wrote and added a picture of one of the broken Sony consoles.
According to him, such a problem is possible even despite the fact that the processor and cooler of the cooling system inside the PlayStation 5 are pressed together very tightly to prevent such “leaks”.
At the same time, the master assured that if the console is mounted horizontally, there will be no consequences, since the liquid metal will remain in place even when the console is heated.
The console may continue to work due to “leakage” of the liquid metal, but problems such as overheating of the chip and increased power consumption are noticeable. It also increases the risk of short circuiting at any time during the game.
According to 68Logic, the situation is related to the flawed design of the PlayStation 5 itself. Sony has repeatedly stated in the past that the PlayStation 5 console can be used both vertically and horizontally. In many advertising campaigns, the prefix is placed vertically. A special stand is included with every PlayStation 5 for stable vertical positioning of the device.
