    I had gotten my ps5 slim a few days
    My parents just bought it for me as a birthday gift and im already loving it
    Well i put my ps5 horizontal, i put the horizontal stands and put it on my desk it's already good looking
    I don't even need to buy the vertical stand it's already standing well
    Well for people who are standing their playstation vertical I recommend them do not touch it after you done playing games
    Just use it well
    Put it somewhere which you think it's stable don't move the console too much and take care of it well
    So safest way for me is just put it horizontal, spacially the PS5 slim which is come with the horizontal stand, i think there's a reason why so Sony wants you to sell the vertical stand separately 😂😂
    I don't know, but what I've seen it should be able to work fine because they Also have advertised the PS5 slim with vertical stand
    I don't know would they reliably say it designed for both vertical and horizontal
    But we see some of these videos about why putting your ps5 in vertical stand is dangerous
    So thanks for the information

      Just buy the stand. Without the stand it will overheat.
      If you noticed that with the stand it raises a bit from the ground which prevent it from overheating

    • @joemamr710
      @joemamr710 2 месяца назад +1

      The stand makes no difference at no all for heating, slim or fat PS5.
      The stand covers the holes on the bottom just like sitting vertical without a stand does, air intake is at the top and exhaust is at the lower rear.
      The holes, even when completely unblocked have no air flow or fan near them whatsoever.
      The stand is solely for stability and so you can lay it horizontally without it leaning.

  • @user-wz2sc2ou4o
    @user-wz2sc2ou4o 5 месяцев назад +2

    For all the naysayers there is a video of a guy on here somewhere that opens the ps5 and the Liquid Metal is pulled down towards the bottom (vertical position) away from the cpu creating a hot spot. So yes vertical will ruin the machine. If you lay it down on its side the Liquid Metal stays in place.

    Regarding placing the ps5 horizontally or vertically, which is better? It's an interesting issue. But many channels say that the line should be set because the liquid metal will flow down along the lines of gravity!!! The question is, when he sells or transports, he doesn't place the boxes horizontally. The buyer didn't have a problem. And liquid metal has been used in the computer industry for over ten years without any problems with verticality!!! Also, when disassembling the parts, how will you know that the disassembler can lift the parts straight without affecting the liquid metal that moved during assembly? I'm all just wondering. I'm not serious about placing or laying down my old machine. It's more than two years old and I've always placed it vertically without any problems. But with the new device, I put it vertically, sometimes horizontally because I'm getting tired of seeing it vertically for so many years. In the end, I think the most important thing, more important than vertical or horizontal placement, is the ventilation distance around the machine and the room should be dust-free or free of people, animals, and insects. And equipment maintenance should have a cycle of replacing the remaining metal every 2-3 years due to the natural drying of the material, just like general computer maintenance. But I like the way you present your clips. I will continue to follow

      ​@@marcino881 It just doesn't work that way. Just because it was shown vertical in commercials doesn't means Sony is legally liable to guarantee it will always perform perfectly in that position.
      Of course it's not a rule, and it's just a few examples. Obviously the vast majority of consoles will work fine vertically for a long time. My console worked perfectly vertical for 14 months. It wasn't until the most recent month that the Liquid Metal pooled enough at the bottom to actually start causing issues.
      This was on a system that was maintained very well, this was not a dirty PS5 issue, I have always been literally OCD about my consoles for decades. This system was never worked on by anyone and was never opened and the warranty sticker was still intact. When I took it apart I could see the hot spot on the APU, I could see the Liquid Metal pooled downward. I reapplied it and it instantly fixed everything.
      I still keep my console vertical.

    I'm very curious if Sony will use more liquid metal in a PS5 Pro? Or will they keep it the same but implement a larger fan and heatsink? I personally want them to do the 2nd option but depends on which is the most expensive. When you consider they have to make thousands of these consoles.

      It doesn’t really make a difference , a Liquid Metal problems people reported are the losers who broke they HDMI port and had it repaired by a quick nut shop which didn’t tighten the HEATSINK & did a bad HDMI job repair . Theses are the ones reported issues over heating and ps5 shutting off the Xbox x series has the same issue repaired and reported for a broken HDMI port with more damage for a half 🥜 job lol 😂. Had my fat ps5 vertical since launch still has no issues . Most the liquid dripping on the mother board is u got your HDmI repaired and the shop didn’t tighten or u had it hot when u bring it in trying to see if u can bypass the hdmi issue or not , how it gets all over the metal hot liquid is when the heatsink is removed by not Sony themselves . If you gunna have your ps5 fat and silm vertically always get warranty through Sony not take it to a respair shop

      The issue is the heat sinks are not going to get hot if the Liquid Metal leaks because there will be no transfer of heat from the CPU to the heat sink because there will be no contact.
      This happened on my PS5 and the fans suddenly started screaming and it gave me an overheat warning. It was blowing a ton of air out of the back, but it wasn’t even warm because without the thermal compound it can’t get into the heat sink.
