PlayStation 5 will cool equally well in both positions

Cooling system performance Playstation 5 does not depend on how the console is located. The head of the group for the design of mechanical and thermal systems of the set-top box said in an interview with the Japanese edition 4Gamer. Yasuhiro Otori

According to Yasuhiro, there is no difference in cooling efficiency when the PS5 is placed vertically or horizontallybecause the fan always runs according to its specifications.

“From a designer’s point of view, there is no difference in cooling efficiency when installed vertically or horizontally. Some people probably think that heat should be better dissipated in a vertical position due to the chimney effect. However, in a cooling system with an active fan, this effect only affects the level of error . Is he [вентилятор] works according to specifications in both horizontal and vertical positions. Personally, I like the vertical version where the PlayStation logo has the correct orientation. “

Along with this, Yasuhiro Otori revealed the reason why the creators of the PS5 decided to switch to a liquid metal thermal interface. It’s all about the very high heat dissipation of the central processor

“The reason for using a liquid metal thermal interface is that the CPU has a high operating frequency, a small die area and a very high heat dissipation. During the game, it is much higher than that of the PS4, and this is due to the fact that the PS5 processor is almost always running at full capacity. The declared thermal package and the amount of heat generated during the game almost converge. “

Previously, Yasuhiro provided additional information on Features of the PlayStation 5 fan and told why is the console so big
