    Welcome to Gears and Tech! ~ The PS5 Pro shouldnt be stood up. At least, thats what youtubers and repair shops have been saying for years. But Sony has finaly admitted there is a hotspot on the APU problem caused by pooling of thermal liquid metal, and fixed it on the PS5 pro! We take a deep dive into this new fix, and discuss how bad the overheating issue is on PS5 Phat and Playstation 5 Slim models.

    I have the PS5 slim since dec 2023, I've been getting the overheating screen circa September 2024 while playing warzone and then it shuts down. Sometimes i get the overheating message while playing Fortnite or GTAV.
    I found in reddit that there's more people havung the same issue and notice taht the cause was playing ps5 versions of games.
    I changed to ps4 versions and no i haven't had any overheating issues, so i think it night be a software problem.

    so the safe solution for the old models (if you do not want to open your system and add the liquid metal) is to have your system positioned horizontally when playing. I hope I understood that one correctly.

  • @silvinho485
    @silvinho485 29 днів тому

    I find the way the PS5 PRO handles ventilation, well... suspicious at best. It draws air in through the top of the console and expels it out the back with fins directing it downward, completely contradicting the laws of thermodynamics, where cold air sinks and hot air rises. I bought my Pro and mounted it on a wall bracket so that it faces downward, drawing air from the side and the 'bottom' while expelling the hot air upward. I ran some tests beforehand, and this setup improves the temperature by approximately 5 degrees.
    Now, my concern lies with the liquid metal used as a conductor in the APU-it really worries me that it might 'leak.' So far, I haven’t had any issues. I did the same with my PS5 and used it for 4 years without ever getting a single overheating warning, even though I live in a tropical climate.

    • @GearsAndTech

    It’s incredible that you say “all models” of the fat are affected. I mean for crap sake bro, HUNDREDS of hours vertically on a fat, without ANY ANY ANY ANY ANY heat issues EVERRRRRR.
    The thing feels lukewarm ALWAYS. The fan works, but I mean it NEVER needs to increase itself.
    Guess some people just desperately need content though, huh.

  • @dc2akira
    @dc2akira Місяць тому

    I appreciate your video and content, and I agree that running it horizontally is your best bet, but to say that the grooves on the Pro is proof of an overheating problem is a stretch. Hardware manufacturers are always looking for ways to improve efficiency, so the design change COULD be a reaction to the overheating issue, OR it’s simply a newer method they’re testing out, or have found to be superior. Also the slim model is a good counter point because they shrunk down the heat sink and still run the console at lower temps. Why would they do that if they knew there was an overheating problem? Wouldn’t they have kept it the same size.

    • @dc2akira
      @dc2akira Місяць тому

      Also wonder how many people are leaving their consoles vertical and in sleep mode? I saw Sony recommended to put it in sleep mode when not in use. I wonder if that keeps the liquid metal warm enough to prevent dry spots.

    • @GearsAndTech
      @GearsAndTech  Місяць тому

      I agree with what you're saying, but the grooves serve one of 2 purposes
      1 to hold the liquid metal in place
      2 to add surface area to help remove heat
      I tend to think it's not because of point 2.the reason I think so is because they shrunk the cooling fins on each successive unit. If heat was a concern why would they shrink them only to increase the block surface area?
      This makes me think it's to keep that pesky liquid metal in place

  • @houman2009
    @houman2009 Місяць тому +2

    The fix is to have the ps5 console in horizontal and NOT Vertical orientation. For people who have their system in vertical orientation you will have a super hot spot on APU chip on top of the chip after a few months and the life span of the chip will drastically reduce. Keep it in vertical stand and exp a lot of technical issues just educate yourself on how the cooling system for a console is made. For xbox series x this won’t be an issue as it uses vapour chamber and no liquid metal. Also room or ambient temp where u have your console located and amount of air flow all around the console all play a role in keeping the system from overheating🎉

      It's defective if the liquid metal shorts your console. Yes, they are made by machines, but humans also. There is not an issue with it being vertical as it has better airflow. It has worse airflow laying on it's side. The liquid metal can be replaced, and yes it can leak, but that's REALLY rare. It's basically the odds of an airplane crashing or a roller-coaster actually malfunctioning.
