This test is so flawed!!! No stand installed and the back of the console is right up against the wall. Sony says to keep at least 4inches clearance.

I’ll be the first to say I’m impressed. The dude didn’t put it on the stand (there are vents underneath the console that can’t get airflow when set down without the stand) and he put the damn thing up against the wall, effectively blocking the intake and some of the exhaust vents. And yet it was still sitting under 40C. Great job sony.

1) The stand provides increased circulation. Not using it will increase heating issues
2) You have it literally touching your back wall, that heat is going to rebound right back
Conclusion: Can afford a thermal imaging camera, does not know how heat works

Please correct the test with the stand installed and provide clearance for air flow around the PS5 especially at the back of the console. Never mind, I saw you do leave a bit more clearance for the PS5 in part of the video, but do install the stand so the bottom can be cooler.

Worst fail ever; I am from Canada and our room temp doesn’t go below 21, this guy is cooling his room on purpose to decrease the ambient room temp, which will end up cooling the device.

The dude has the PS5 suffocated in the back. The rear is nearly against the wall so it barely has any room to vent the hot air and the stand is missing which blocks the bottom vents. And it still stayed under 40 C. Increasing the room temp would at worse increase the temp by a few to several degrees if the fans don’t spin faster. It’s got a temp sensor so it’ll likely spin faster to keep the temp down.

How not to review temps 101:
– leave off the stand reducing airflow
– place unit flush against wall to block airflow
The heat in thermal view on the wall was 👌

taking the temperature of the console like this is kinda stupid…the ps5 has those white fins over the console….u should of removed the fins to get a more accurate reading it would be a better comparison to the Xbox. not only that the Xbox u literally was filming the exhaust vent while in this one ur not???

34C on the outer case, plus the cold 14C room temperature, can mean huge heat over 70C inside the cooling system. That means the console could runs really hot.
Like the situation of an AMD GPU playing COD in our PC, which is hot

RiskOfBaer
November 23, 2020 at 2:08 pm
So far I’ve seen only a single channel that actually tested the thermals. Pointing a heat camera at the case doesn’t test anything useful, unless you care about how hot the plastic gets for some reason.

Sorry to disappoint guys but Looking at the outer case isn’t going to tell you much about its heat dissipation characteristics. Every console has different way to disperse its heat.

Generally in the electronic design we consider the default room temperature at 25°C. You should try to make your next test at this room temperature if you can.

November 22, 2020 at 4:14 pm
People ‘venting’ about the positioning, I guess thats how most non-tech conscious people will place it, without the stand next to the tv & wall so it’s not a bad test from the reviewer.
There’s this other major tech YouTuber – MKBHD, he similarly reviewed it deliberately without the stand.
hababacon
November 22, 2020 at 5:01 pm
Dude I think both systems were design well to expel heat. They run quiet and 55-70c is nothing to right home about considering the components. Most of next gen consoles issues are software related with a few issues here there related to BR drive, or fans not spinning. All relativity low, maybe in the hundreds when they’re millions of consoles out already. With that said maybe they should have delayed the consoles as they’re software is just not up to snuff yet. We have games crashes on both consoles, we have missing HDMI features from resolutions to FPS. There’s storage limitation, storage problem making users factory reset their consoles, quick resume crashes or missing quick resume rather than issues with heat and noise.

I’d like to see a video with this done with the stand on, some space between the wall and also a comparison with it in horizontal mode. I’m wondering about vertical vs horizontal on the new consoles.
F.J Tabb

Dude are you trying to make it run hot? You lost all credibility when I saw it not on the stand and literally push all the way up against the wall where the heat exits.
Michael Shandor

Would be cooler if you had stand on it and not pushed against the wall. Maybe you can fix that next time.

Even if the test was done properly, none of this matters. If anything, it shows that the PS5 is not very good at dissipating heat which is not a good thing at all. The Xbox being hotter on the outside is actually a good thing, it means it’s better at getting the heat OUT of the case, which is the entire point of cooling. If you want to test thermals, test the insides, not the outside.

This is the most pointless test. This says nothing about the internal temp of the circuitry that matter.

Why do people keep complaining about the stand? The stand doesn’t increase circulation, it just helps the console balance better so you don’t accidentally knock it over.

Correction. The series x was playing backwards compatible games that are much easier to run than current gen games because of lower graphical fidelity and texture detail than the games that where running on the ps5. Seriously if you wanna say a game from previous gen is more demanding than an open world game with ray tracing then your bias is in question.
Also you know the air that cools the power supply unit comes out the bottom right, so you should really stick it on the stand.
