Recently, the owner of a foreign repair shop said that due to the PS5’s serious design flaws, if the player places the PS5 upright for a long time, it may cause permanent damage to the machine.
This is mainly because Sony bravely used liquid gold as a heat-conducting material to suppress the heat of the processor used in the PS5, but also because the liquid gold will become uneven due to the placement of the PS5 or leak due to poor sealing . , this is As a result, the PS5 has uneven heat dissipation, affecting the heat dissipation effect of the processor or more serious losses to other components.
The owner of a French repair shop has revealed that the problem mentioned above is not an isolated case: whether it is a digital version or a disc version of PS5, as long as it is placed upright for a long time, the risk of problems is high.
According to him, the PS5’s liquid gold seal sometimes gets damaged over time. If the player’s PS5 is placed flat at this time, there is no big problem, but if it is placed vertically, the liquid metal may gradually decrease, resulting in uneven heat dissipation or infringement of other parts.
Sony has not yet answered this question.
