Smart players end the debate on "straight or vertical release of PS5"! Answer: Slanted
For a long time, the debate about whether PS5 should be placed horizontally or vertically has existed. Recently, some players on Reddit gave a compromise answer to end this question: tilt.
There were previous reports that due to Sony's design problems, placing the PS5 vertically may cause liquid metal to overflow to cool the APU, affecting the cooling effect of the host, and may eventually cause damage to the PS5.
This issue has also triggered heated discussions among players. Some players believe that according to scientific principles, there is indeed a problem of liquid metal sinking when standing vertical PS5, which will lead to uneven cooling effect and ultimately may cause damage to PS5, so they have always been a horizontal PS5 host.
Many players also put forward the opposite opinions, believing that PS5 has provided players with vertical placement ability in design, and naturally considering the existence of various problems. Moreover, they have been using it vertically, and there has been no problem after using it for a long time.
For this issue, Sony official also said: "When setting up a PS5 host, be sure to install the dock to the PS5 host. The way to install the dock depends on how you want to place the PS5 host." From this point of view, the official does not have special requirements for horizontal and vertical placement, which depends entirely on personal needs.
