Services warn against placing PS5 console vertically

Prefix prefix 5 can be more than two years at home. From the outset, Sony has stated that console can be positioned vertically or horizontally. Even for the first position, the PS5 has a special stand, or base, to keep it firmly in place and not tip over. My console has been positioned this way since November 2020.

But now, repair services are warning that the upright position could cause permanent damage to the console due to a “critical design flaw.” The problem is that liquid metal used in the cooling system of the embedded processor and graphics chip may spill if the seal is broken.

If this happens and the console is placed horizontally, the liquid metal will stay flat and retain most of its thermal properties that help keep the PS5 cool. But in the case of vertical position, the liquid metal may gradually flow out due to gravity, it will be uneven, which will affect its cooling ability, and may reach other components, which will not bring any benefit.

Particular attention is paid to the problem by Ben Montana, the owner of a specialized French service. These are not isolated cases, he said. the risk of damage must be high for all models, so it doesn’t matter if it’s the standard version of the PlayStation 5 console with a Blu-ray drive or the digital version. Several cases should have shown that the seal between the APU and its heatsink can sometimes become dislodged or damaged.

However, the owners of the PlayStation 5 do not mention such a problem on the Internet. Therefore, from this point of view, any panic is premature. However, “servicemen” agree that in order to extend the life of the console, it is better to place it horizontally.

Let’s see if Sony responds and makes a statement.
