Update Edit: TheCod3r released a new video in which he said that he never claimed he had gotten them bad out of the box. This is what I was talking about with the media being a business. His full statement on those articles is here th-cam.com/video/I9HlDd5Wzlk/w-d-xo.html
I didn't mean to scare anyone I am sorry if I did I just wanted to make a video talking about this. Basically this issue is the most likely to happen if the PS5 is dropped vertically thats .If you leave your PS5 in a vertical position its a very small chance of it happening but if you want real peace of mind just put it down horizontally.
W video
I felt my soul leave my body
@Moon Man That's pretty neat
Excellent video!
Yeah my playstation has been horizontal since the day I got it.
As he said, unless you're slamming your PS5 all the time it won't leak liquid metal. Plus stuff that leaks doesn't care if it's vertical or horizontal, it's equally broken either way.
@Mr_TheProfessional. Selected for what? A new COVID strain?
Not true, have fixed the odd ps5, not dropped. The risk is low, but is a slight risk.
@@TR.Pixels I love this response. I needed that today.
damn the people , EVERYONES is totally DUMBASS theses days ?!
Wow I wasn’t expecting this kind of vid, it’s cool that you got a tech guy for the vid
It’s crazy that you make this video cause I swear to god 2 days ago my ps5 kept on powering off just by itself my power wasn’t going out or anything but I can here the power within the PlayStation die long story short I researched and all I had to do was clean PSU ports behind my fan and set my ps5 horizontally and my ps5 hasn’t shut off since. SET YOUR PS5 HORIZONTALLY IT ALSO HELPS KEEP DUST OUT!!! Your ps5 breathes much better because the air isn’t blowing downward especially if you have it cornered in a desk and Liquid Metal sits better horizontally.
That’s how you fix that good to know because I’ve been dealing with this issue for ages not knowing how to fix it
I did had some problems with it too I always let it stand vertically and I did discover that the alot of dust at the fan that I was not aware of so I used toothbrush and carefully clean it and that took out majority of the dust And then after that it didn't overheat and turned off.
I've noticed mine seems to be running cooler since I started to put it horizontal. Just wish it didn't take up so much space.
i did that already and my shit still turning off
@@JK-mn6tk I’m not too sure as I always wear headphones but after setting mine horizontally I thought I noticed lower fan speed.
The ps5 was designed to be on vertical position in the 1st place. Just make sure the console as enough space to cool off and it's always in the same spot.
you're also given a stand to screw into the bottom of the PS5
There a vent at the bottom so you can’t put it vertical
@@sophiacole61 you do know the ps5 comes with a stand and there's a little hole at the bottom of the PS5 for a screw to hold the stand in place? right?
@sophiacole61 what are you saying? It literally comes with a stand and instructions on how to apply it sony has also Said that this way is better for air flow.
@@AlexisStreams it has a vent under it
As someone who has my PS5 in the vertical position I just wanna say. I doubt this will even happen. Don’t be afraid to have you’re PS5 vertical
Update: this theory has been proven false so they’re is zero need to worry
This video is meant to reassure people that it probably won’t . I didnt expect it to scare people so much . We explained why it’s a low risk and not a concern.
Mine is left vertical up and never had any problems. I leave it vertical up coz it looks way better imo 💯
Mine is vertical for over a year being a pc gamer also I kind of appreciate it like that it looks better like that anyway almost like a mini tower pc don't have any problems yet myself
@@sinistan1002 My brother recently had his PS5 vertically up and last week it stopped working. No power, no beep, nothing.
@@zuz2366 rippp
Very true! if you're uncomfortable about your ps5 being being vertical just lay it horizontally. My guess is those ps5s are opened and reapplied more liquid than it should.
Professional please don't scare me like this😂😂
Fr 💀
Sony wouldn't allow PS5 to be vertical if it damages the console itself
Couldn't help but have a little chuckle when you said 'hey Billy' that meme where the guy falls through the ceiling instantly popped in my head
Apart from the issue, this video is kinda wholesome seeing TheProfessional saying that Billy is a friend from his childhood and later interviewing him.
TheProfesrrional is downright the most wholesome TH-camr on the platform
I think I've had a problem a long time ago. I've had a ps5 vertical problem that was purely dust related. The power supply actually has vents that point directly upwards, and since dust falls down, it will actually get inside the power supply and rest on top of it. And once that happens, after about 15 minutes of playtime, the ps5 completely shuts off because the power supply overheats dangerously. It was fixed after a deep cleaning by myself. I don't believe in any liquid metal issues currently because I don't know much about it, but the ps5 being vertical is just a design flaw overall for what I just said with my experience. I'd still recommend overall to play in a horizontal stance just to play it safe in case there are anymore issues
this the only reason i keep my console horizontally, i keep it under my desk and i don’t want any dust getting in there easily
How easy us it to take off the covers
It's possible, but there was a response saying that the story was wrong from the repairs shop that noticed this, the PS5 he talked about was opened by a previous repair shop to begin with. So who knows what happened there.
Pudding!!! The OG stream moderator back in the day! Also was featured in the Walking Dead discussion video featuring Pat wearing Negans jacket! Oh man years sure go by and time just seems to times fly..... But the memories remain!
wow surprised someone remembers me lol cool thanks for being a long time viewer
Yeah man, I remember the early streams when Pat used to swear like a... well... a New Yorker! He even said it was in his blood back then! I also remember that one super annoying troll who would always stream snipe and always tried to join to destroy cargo. VD Steel.... Ugh that guy sucked! And also the legendary red checkered blanket that Pat had on his OG gaming chair! I was hoping he would do a review on that blanket when he hit a million subs! Oh well maybe at two million! Good to hear from you again Pudding and hope your in good health! Cool to see you and Pro are still friends after all these years. Since kindergarten right? That's Bonkers!!!
@@Dark_Graphite yeah we have known each other since 1999
Ps5 is designed to go vertical.
This may happen in rare cases
MY BIGGEST RECOMMENDATION: Don't move your PS5 after you've been gaming for a while (where the Liquid Metal would be hot and runnier). As that is likely when the damage to these consoles occurred. Or during a drop or some kind of jostle that momentarily separated the heatsink from the APU (CPU/GPU) allowing the liquid to leak out. So, if you are going to move your console, make sure it is fully cool before doing so. Or if you are really worried about it just put your PS5 horizontal. But again, don't move it when it is hot. As the same thing could occur. It is also likely due to a defect originally with the system such as too much liquid metal being put on in factory, too much air being trapped inside it, or a drop that hit just right. I wouldn't worry about this. It's click bait and only happening to an exceedingly small amount of people.
If you think about it most PC's sit vertically (with the CPU top facing you when looking at it like the PS5). Some PC's use this same liquid metal and it is held together the same way with a cooler being mounted to it and they are fine. Meaning the likelihood of this happening is low.
This is also likely going to be blown way out of proportion. Thinking critically for a minute. This would be covered under warranty. Those who would take it to a repair shop A. would not be under warranty meaning they have had the console for a long time and B. Are going to be the people who are having an issue. The fact that a repair shop rarely sees this means it is an exceedingly rare occurrence. As they are going to be seeing the highest amounts of these failures. I bet this is happening less than 1% of the time.
Love you bro, thank you so much for I finally found someone who eases my anxiety .. I placed my ps5 in a vertical position since day 1 for a year now, thankfully i havent encountered any problem ., but still, the videos lingering about liquid metal failing due to vertical position makes me feel anxious ..
And in the first place, i believed in the capabilities of Sony engineers when they said that our PS5 can accomadate vertical position.
Liquid metal?
@@JoseGonzalez-il8zh Look up Liquid Metal Thermal Paste. It'll explain better than I would in a TH-cam comment.
@@leoangeloflores841 An example I'd like to give is the Nvidia RTX 4090 melting issues. Caused a giant stir because of the power adapter melting. After many weeks info comes out that A. The ones that melted were all because of user error. B. Only happened to like
@@ThomasMuehler thank you for that explanation ..
I tried placing my ps5 in horizontal position, but due to its size, I placed it underneath a cabinet but the lack of ventilation makes it prone to overheating .. Guess I am going back to vertical one and just be careful not to move it when its hot as per your explanation about the liquid metal.
It should be fine as long as the mounting pressure of the heatsink is good, You will know if its not cause your fan will get really loud. The APU on the PS5 is made by AMD and rated to get up to 100 degrees and still be fine. With the liquid metal it will only leak out if you move your console a lot, maybe this happens to some consoles apon shipping which might lead to some people getting a console dead on arrival. As Billy says in this video the thermal interface material that is used can be pushed out over time as it constantly expands with heat and contracts with cold and when it does so the liquid metal will get thinner as it gets hot and thicker when it cools down and some of it might ooze out over time though it would get caught by whatever barrier Sony added to keep the liquid metal where it is and shouldn't get on the motherboard.
Sony went above and beyond on cooling, the only way you could get better cooling in a console is if it had a liquid cooled loop like we have on PC, most likely they would use the setup called an All in One. These consist of two tubes going from a heatsink and pump to a radiator and somewhere it would connect to fans that come with it and the power supply. The only problem with this is that it would be more costly and it's another point of failure, most loops use fluid that isn't conductive though after a while as the fluid goes around the loop it does go by the radiator and CPU/APU/GPU block so eventually it will gather bits of that metal, mostly copper or aluminium. Though I think in the future consoles will go to this as the current consoles already contain heap pipes (Which contain a fluid already that helps transfer heat off processors and lead it over to heatsinks) as well as fans and there is always some thermal interface material like liquid metal or thermal paste, In the past they used thermal glue on the OG Xbox and on the PS3 under its CPU and GPU heat spreader (Which is a metal cap that is soldered or glued onto the top of your processor, with some form of thermal paste in between it) Then on top of that you put more thermal paste so it can contact your heatsink or other block of metal that send heat onwards to a fan and then the fan gets the heat out of the system.
Sony might do recalls on batches of PS5 consoles that had more liquid metal on them than others, they may also revise their consoles with a better means of keeping the liquid metal in place and in the future I bet we will see a PS5 slim or pro like we did with the others.
Even as someone without a PS5, I did enjoy seeing an interview about this subject, it had my interest for a while. Also the whole interview format was really cool and I hope to see more in the future
Ive been having my ps5 since launch day and its been placed vertically since then, its running just as good as when I first got it
What would be nice to know about this is sample sizes and what risk comes from long-term gaming. Also could a simple attachment, like a plastic sheet to drain the metal away from key components, be a useful solution to this.
I’ve been having mine vertically since release and still good and running smooth, always gotta check for dust and clean it with an air can and sometimes with cleaning liquids on top, but obviously take it apart so it’s efficient cleaning of the fan.
Ps. Don’t add any liquids inside the system use the compressed air can to air dust the inside sometimes you gotta use tweezers to pull some bulks of dust.
Got my ps5 December 2021 and the only time it’s left my desk was about two months ago when I put an internal ssd in, it’s been vertical the entire time and i’ve had no major issues but I still got really worried when I saw articles about the liquid metal pouring out yesterday, thanks for the vid I think this will put a lot of people at ease
@Moon Man same but who asked 🤣
@@shay4261I did
@Moon Man you changed your mind
I saw the title and looked at my vertical PS5 and got very concerned 😂 thanks for the vid tho
same lol
Mine has been vertical for years and it still has not happened
It doesn’t mean it can’t happen to others though . The risk is low but it can happen but it would most likely happen through a drop .
I just gotten my ps5 a few days ago and when I was setting it up, I set it up horizontally and it makes it more easier for me too. So I would strongly suggest that you set your ps5 horizontal, just to be safe.
Same here keeps my mind in peace
I don't currently have a PS5 but all of the gaming systems I've had I've never stood up vertically I've always had them horizontally it's just if you have them vertically they're way easier to knock over and break something I don't want to take that risk just got to say professional I've been enjoying your godfather 2 play through lately and keep up the great work
This is actually how I broke my GTA V for my 360 many years back, I was doing heist setups with friends and as I got up my elbow hit the xbox and knocked it over, the console was fine but the disc did that thing where if the drive got moved it would carve a ring into the disc. Always put a console horozontally if possible, reduces risk and you can put stuff on top.
PS5 has a circle stand at the bottom. Its secure.
@@SharinganRebirth Doesn't stop anything from hitting it over.
@Moon Man ok
@@drunkonsuccess779 How exactly are people hitting it over? It baffles me. You put it in one spot next to your TV against the wall on a table. That's it. What are people doing? Putting it in the middle of the floor?!
I heard of this story, glad you mentioned it
This scares me a lot, literally, I do not want this to happen to me, the thought of the Liquid Metal moving around just gets on my nerves
It's designed to scare you, they're scaremongering because you end up clicking their articles and videos looking for answers and give them ad revenue
@@NeonFlare I’m not reading the articles, the thoughts of it is what scares me
Put it horizontal to be on the safe side. Might look ugly and take up a lot of space but it's better than potentially bricking your PS5.
Don’t listen to some pessimistic clown who thinks this is scare mongering especially when all this is coming from people who repair tech for a living. I had mine since release, had it vertical on a wall mount but yeah these consoles are a luxury, I’m not risking it. I can repair stuff too but I don’t have the necessary equipment should I ever come across this problem and afford another but think I’ll keep my money for the newer model just in case mine somehow dies. For peace of mind, just put it horizontal.
All this liquid metal talk got me thinking about the T1000 terminator
🤣👍🏾
Great idea bringing Pudding on as a guest Pro, it's cool seeing other people on the channel
Corporations like Sony spend *billions* of dollars on R&D when creating new hardware. Pretty sure it crossed the minds of the Japanese engineers during the design phase. This is a small French repair shop that said something random and blew out of proportion because article clicks
Even the biggest manufacturers have made mistakes, it's not impossible but I get what you're saying
Excluding the 360 RRoDs Sony has traditionally always had the higher console failure rate.
Ps: Flipped over to read discs
PS2: DREs
PS3: Ylod.
PS4: nothing as far as I'm aware, last gen seemed solid.
PS5: Tbd
@@TH-camCensors there's always a margin of error for defected models. no piece of hardware has ever had a flawless output. this case with the PS5 liquid coolant leaking is nothing more than scaremongering by websites seeking ad revenue. Scare stories always sell
Doesn’t mean everything will turn out perfect just cuz they spent billions on R&D. I swear ya live so comfortably thinking that…. Are we gonna ignore the past console hardware failures for each PS gen? “Spent billions on R&D” am I right? Nothing will truly work perfectly.
“Repair shop who FIX TECH said something random for article clicks”, here we go again lol. It’s not even an isolated incident either but sure.
@@J0kerHecz I hope you have a wonderful day
PS5 was designed to be used vertically or horizontally. If this was to happen then it's technically a design flaw and would be up to Sony to fix, warranty or not.
It's a five minute adjustment anyone can do to go from vertical to horizontal. I'd just do it for piece of mind whether true or false. + Probably help with the dust build up from the exposed vents on top anyway.🤷🏾♂️
Bro thank you for this video. I was worried but I'm good now
Thank you guys for this vid 💪
Wow literally just came across this and the GOAT professional makes a video on it 🔥
You guys can also but cans of air spray to help blow out and clean the vents as well
I kept my PS5 vertical standing up since after a year I got it, and it still works fine as the same way as usual.
Thanks professional for the reassurance man. When i saw that article, i was kinda worried that i effed up my ps5 but thank god most likely its not. Thank you professional for this informative video
That's why i prefer a notebook gamer! I hope Sony fixes this issue right away! It's about customer we are talking about!
Thanks for the video I enjoyed it quite a bit found it very informative
You may not be an expert, but you are The Professional 😉
New content and already liking it , keep it up pro
There is a chance that, if you were to take the ssd from your ps5, run a drill through it, put it back in, it won't work
How many of you still remember puddingistastyapples from Professional's stream back when he just started?
wow surprised someone remembers me lol cool thanks for being a long time viewer
Thanks for covering this topic. at first i was concerned. Now , not so much
Fr and if you think about every ps5 is built different they got different fans and heatsinks applied
@@updatedicons1869 yeah.
Well hope this gives people confidence cause I got my ps5 since February 2021 up to today standing vertical from the day i got it with a WD 2tb ssd with heatsink in it and still going strong !!
@@dnimike8834 also not unimportant info,the ssd I bought been put in since September 2021,same year I got the ps5 in February,and since March 2022 I have over 850 hrs of playtime on a vertical ps5 and that is just one of many games I play on it!!! Ssd is a WD 850 with heatsink from the factory ready to go!!
@Mr_TheProfessional. I have no desire for a congrats selection,I merely wanted to give people a peace of mind from a consumer that uses his ps5 on the daily!!
I've had two consoles that I stood up vertically (Xbox 360 and PS5), and I've never had problems with them. I much prefer standing them horizontally, but it's a space issue for me. Got a little scared when I first saw the report, but I've been reassured since then that my console will be fine.
Well it wouldn’t be a problem with the 360 it doesn’t have liquid metal
For me, this is the best video on this topic. Good questions, great answers.
However I would've liked to see one more question answered. Which is on how much room temperature/ weather can increase the likelihood of this happening.
I keep my PS5 on a horizontal position on my table near my TV since if I had it vertical it would block my screen since PS5’s are pretty tall.
thank you for posting this video it needs more views
the website that has claimed this has now made a statement saying they have made a “critical misunderstanding”
Thanks for this video my mind is at ease now thank you very much. I got mine verticle with lots of breathing room always cool in my place year round. Plus I got a high end cooling stand as well. Clean mine every couple of months to
I bought my PS5 early last year and always had my PS5 vertical and i had no problems. I swore that unlike my PS4, i would buy a cover for my PS5 so i wouldn't get dust or anything to damage my new console. So far its working great. I also bought a cover for my PS4 after I cleaned it. For the record i put it on after i play.
This news about liquid is crazy and first time i heard about it. The PS5 is still new, no worries though.
The console is so damn big I have to put it vertically behind my TV
I'll copy & paste what I left in his video regarding the issue.
This is likely due to a few reasons:
1) improper handling of the console during shipping and/or at the shipping warehouse. I work for UPS (inside and on the road). All the packages that arrive at the warehouse are unloaded (by the workers in that section) from a big truck trailer onto a moving belt where it then gets picked up from another moving belt (by the workers in that section) to load inside many of the vans they do each. Depending on the working pace at either section (where it is unloaded from or loaded from), they either get thrown, dropped or carefully unloaded/loaded.
Many of the workers in the load section (where the packages later gets picked up) are doing 3 to 4 vans each that they have to load on their own. The workers at the unloading section make things worse for those at the load section many times by throwing all the bulk packages together, one after the other, (let's say 5 to 10 or more boxes of PS5) that they have to pick from the moving belt and load inside one of the 3 or 4 vans (while there's more work coming down for the rest of the vans they're doing).
So because of this or to avoid missing the packages, they get picked up fast and thrown or dropped in the van/nearby instead. The supervisors of such unloading section are the ones to blame for letting this continue to happen and wanting to push the work, over and over.
2) improper handling of the console by the owner (after going through all that shipping torture).
I have younger kids so I changed mine to horizontal to avoid issues, thanks for the clarification though!
It could take years for the liquid metal to leak out or it could happen tomorrow it all depends on the quality of what Sony put to safeguard the liquid metal and how you take care of your console. All I know is if it ever happens to my PS5 and I took good care of it, Sony better take responsibility and repair or even replace my system.
I’ve heard of the article of this issue but they never explained what model of the PS5 this is present in so unless reports start coming in that a certain model is starting to spill liquid metal then that’s when people should be concerned if they happen to own said model of the PS5
They clearly said all versions!!!
They said it , Og not me
Honestly…I never put the thing vertical…Not even since the PS2 days.
There’s people claiming that it has happened to them from standing it up
This should be a recall Sony should have to fix this problem Automotive dealers have recalls all the time
My experience when the PS5 is vertically causes it to overheat, when playing a game suddenly my PS5 turns off.
After being positioned horizontally until now my PS5 is fine and has never overheated again.
So my advice from now stop using PS5 vertically.
Maan I had a ps5 for a year now this is scarring me 🥺
If I’m not wrong then there shouldn’t be a problem. I think this only happens to the newer ones.
There is no chance Sony would get away from that liability. You wouldn't be paying for the repair of their defective product. You wouldn't need a warranty, they need to recall and fix the product.
The guy who first put us on this issue has a big point gravity plays a big factor and we know these companies are VERY!.. cheap with their materials to save money but charge you more. Y’all really don’t think Sony is capable of scamming it’s fans over like this and put a cheap seal to cover that liquid metal? 👀👀👀 Come on wake up these companies are not our friends hints why Sony are coming out with another PS5 version after coming out with one with smaller heat sink. It all adds up. If a console is on long enough and the liquid metal heats up and it is falling it will eventually get through that seal. Either way just put it horizontally to be safe everyone. No matter how ugly it looks. I rather have it look hideous than to spend $500 again.
I literally only just got my PS5, I set it up vertically. Hopefully this don't happen, maybe I'll put it horizontal later on; just in case
Yea turn it Horizontal position but if you just got PS5 then you shouldn’t worry,I had my PS5 Vertical since PS5 release date and its still working but once I herd the News,I changed it Horizontal position plus isn’t the PS5 already in Vertical position when its in the Box 🤷🏾♂️so I wouldn’t worry about it in that short amount of time
@@redscorpion9325 yea, plus it looks better when vertical. I'll keep it up for now
I prefer having my consoles standing horizontally anyway. BTW, thanks for the tip, I'm currently saving up for one. Don't know if it's true or not but thanks anyway.
My friend that helped me build a computer
Sounds like the guy to ask lol
3 feet drop? The liquid metal would be the least of your problems
Keep it in a cool dry dust free area NOT ON THE FLOOR (ESPECIALLY CARPET). Basically treat it like an expensive electronic device. Like a MacBook or something.
"what do you think about this"
"Idk anything about this, I'll make a video"
I got my PS5 sitting vertically on a cooling station. I love it.
I’ve had mine vertically for 14 months and had no problems. I don’t see this as a massive problem. It may be that’s Sony have been trying to get more ps5’s out during the Christmas period and there may be a design flaw because they’re rushing to get them on sale
I heard it was mostly from people opening them up & tampering with them or doing some other activity that would void the warranty
This is the first time I’m hearing of this, but wtf how would that even happen to begin with, and I have my ps5 and series X vertical up too but that’s crazy how that could happen to ps5 if that’s true and if it has happened to people 💀
Happened to me two days ago it’s very real
That’s crazy well I was thinking maybe during manufacturing some ps5s are more secure than others so it won’t leak I just hope quality control of these consoles is Checked heavy cause now the ps5 shortage has ended, but if this is an inevitable problem rip to most of the ps5s hopefully the ps5 pro/ slim whatever the next iteration will be would do more for this problem
My ps5 is clean and it has the issue but mine shuts off
I don’t want to F around and find out so I just went ahead and flipped mine horizontal after reading the article.
Having repaired many ps5's I can say with confidence leaving it horizontal is fine. Even if you do drop it like mentioned there is one in a thousands chance you break something and even then it could be something as simple as the HDMI port
I will never put a console vertical but for different reasons,I've lost too many discs due to my xbox 360 falling over.
Yeah, I lost one but I'm pretty sure of the ps5 falls over it won't demolish the disk
I just took my boot and kicked my $10,000 gaming PC on it’s side. I’ve had my APU vertical for years. That could have been a disastrous mistake. Thanks for this information.
So I used to have my PS five vertical but I had to change it in order to get to fit so now it’s horizontal. So hopefully that helps I haven’t had a problem with anything melting.
As you said yourself, I put mine horizontally just for peace of mind. I barely used my PS5 when vertical, maybe 50 hrs or less over the 9 months or so I forget. It's been stationary and not touched, much less dropped so what you've said makes sense, the risk is next to nothing but certain factors can raise the risk. Some are within your control and some aren't.
I have an adjustable bookshelf and left room for a vertical PS5. I just had to shift the shelf up since the shelf underneath was super narrow and now I have a shelf for my PS3 and PS4, and another for my PS5. In a way, it's better horizontal now so I don't have to keep reminding myself which way the CD goes XD.
Everyone. Please put your ps5 to flat not vertical it’s flaw and issues by cpu damaged it I saw on twitter
Wow this is the first time that pro is doing a podcast. But yeah thanks for the advice pro but even though that I don't have the ps5.
My PS5’s been on for months and it runs perfectly fine
Don't worry people. It's very unlikely to happen. I've had my ps5 since February 2021. And most of the time I keep it on. To watch TH-cam and stuff. In the summer it's on 12 hours without any probs. It only ever overheated once. And I never cleaned it until last Saturday. It won't be an issue. If it hasn't been an issue with an introvert like me then it wouldn't be one for you. Regardless you never know if it can happen to you. So I'd say keep it horizontal to avoid and damage. I will keep it horizontal from now on as well. And if you dropped it sometime then you should definitely keep it horizontal
My PS5 has been going for 2 years strong, got the model from November 2020 too, hasn't died yet, but it really does suck if it was dropped in shipping, I got lucky at Walmart, hope everyone else is too!
When the Fed Ex guys launches it over your fence, you may have a problem.
I’ll prefer whiskey or vodka to come outta mines
Mine is laying down.. not buying another one because it was poorly engineered .. they already cut costs on the heat sink, I wouldn’t be surprised if they cut costs on that component as well.. it wouldn’t take much to break a seal as noted in the video.
Make sure the ps5 has enough room for cool clean air to pass through the vents. Clean all the dust around so it doesn't suck it in. You may want to take apart the ps5 and clean it thoroughly every half a year depending on how dirty it is. You do not want then ps5 to overheat is it can potentially cause damage to the seals and that will cause the liquid metal to seep out and short the system
I've had my PS5 vertical + on & running since it launched. It only gets turned off/reset for cleaning or updates. No issues at all. Same for my PS4 Pro before that (Horizontal) & my 2018 built Threadripper 2950x, 64gb 2080TI PC. I sometimes turn off my monitors but even then, very rarely (all VA so no Burn in issues).
Anyone who has even a modicum of knowledge about electronics/ computers should know this is media hype.
The same with running your machines all the time. As long as they are built, maintained and stored properly (ie: controlled room) leaving them on its a non-issue, even beneficial in the right circumstances.
Thanks for the news because I ordered a PS5 last month and I'll get it in the end of this month. Good to know (^^)d
Any idea if somebody's PS5 does drop or fall, how long could they expect before they start having problems with the liquid metal leaking and causing malfunctions? Is it fast (minutes, hours, days) or would it take time (weeks, months)?
Wth? I mean, how do you think would anyone in the earth know the answer to your question man? Even the architects and engineers who designed ps5 won't be able to answer that question.
@@subramanianjakulparati2017 well it obviously starts malfunctioning after the liquid metal starts leaking. They know all about how to use it for cooling, install it in electronics correctly, and why it causes the malfunction when is starts short circuiting, but nobody has any earthly idea if it leaks fast or slow? Makes sense man. Let's have some top electronic engineers and manufacturers use experimental technology, in a mass produced product meant for the world's civilian population to use, but we don't fully understand how it works. I wasn't asking for a definite answer, but would it leak out and mess things up in seconds?
I think some people that are commenting their PS5 died just when this issue was addressed are linking things without really knowing. Any console can die randomly you have to take care of your devices not just leave them there without cleaning them or even worse, moving them around all the time. I have worked with computers and consoles since early the 90s. Dust accumulation is a real thing, power spikes, physical damage anything could have killed your console including this issue if it is happening. I have built computers with liquid metal, it has not happened. I understand the concern but don't connect the dots without evidence. Just as these two gentlemen have explained, it is unlikely but it can happen however without real evidence it should not be a concern for most users so don't panic, lean up your consoles, don't move them arround and if you're scared of the issue place it horizontally (if you have the space) but remember, clean up the dust take good care of it and it will work a long time (I have had mine since lunch, no issues of this kind or overheating)
My PS5 randomly makes a crackle noise the first 20 minutes in vertical stance.
I dropped mine behind the TV cause I was trying to move it like a dummy💀should I prepare for a future goodbye😂😂💔??
I think if you have the early version of a ps5 the chance of something like this happen is so low , because i remember sony changed the heatsink of the new ps5 models or something like that because they were out of the original heatsink maybe this problem is related to that ? Also i have a eary model ps5 i have been using it vertically for 2 years , i have traveled with it via airplane , played many hours with it , it have been force turned of many times because of my house electricity blackout , but its working fine af
They weren't out of the original heatsink, they redesigned it to be smaller, lighter and more efficient. It cools better. So technically older ps5s are more at risk of overheating.
Tho I feel if you cooling system is already leaking it does not matter how you place the PS5, you need to fix it already.
That shit sounds scary and feel bad for those who are victim to it
I’ve had my PS5 standing Vertically since day ONE, no issue at all. FAKE HYPE for something so rare.
This is why I always put all my consoles down side ways as they could tip and break as I learned my lesson once with my 360 it fell but thankfully it survived as my floor was soft carpet
And there are no computers using liquid metal in the vertical position....almost all PC motherboards are vertical.
