Sony PS5 has been hotly discussed since its release, and it was recently announced that global sales exceeded 30 million units. It is believed that many users usually like to place vertically vertically, however, there are certain risks in such placement.
Ben Montana, the owner of ILoveMyConsole, a French video game repair shop, issued a reminder that placing the PS5 console vertically for a long time will cause irreversible damage to the console.
He said that he has received far more than one such case. Because the PS5 host has been placed vertically for a long time, the liquid gold heat-conducting material covered on the APU flows out due to natural gravity, which seriously affects heat dissipation and may even endanger other components. On the contrary, if it is placed horizontally, the liquid gold material will not have similar problems. In addition, Montana also emphasized that neither the digital version nor the CD version is immune to this situation, and both need attention.
The core processor of the PS5 (AMD Zen2 APU) is not designed with a metal top cover that uses silicone grease or brazing packaging, but a piece of bare Die coated with a liquid metal heat-conducting material. The liquid metal is in a liquid state at normal temperature and pressure. flow, so there is a possibility of overflow.
So far, Sony officials have not responded, and the specific situation has yet to be confirmed.
