All I will say is the toxicity is horrible way too many people worried about counting wins over 2 dropped frames vs actually being a gaming community and I oh dont know PLAYING GAMES
Amen, brother. Amen to that.
tl;dr?
Some platform warring bullshit i guess?
It usually is, so yeah.
He’s a hack who wanted easy clicks so he lied and is walking it back. You cannot name a video “the new PS5 is Worse” and then try to say you didn’t mislead people. He has no data to prove the title of his video. By his logic the PS5 was better than the Series X because the PS5 runs cooler still, which is dumb since if both are within the limits they are both fine. The Doxxing is bad but he’s so disingenuous.
You can name your video that if that is your takeaway, which it was for him. He based this off the reduced heatpipe and switch of material from copper to aluminum, and keeping laws of thermodynamics in mind.
You can argue that shouldn't be the ONLY metric to try saying one version of a system is worst than the other and fair enough, but that would be your criteria, not his.
I mean the guy was doxxed, at some point one of these doxxings is gonna get the victim killed.
“We still need more tests but it’s not going to be better.”
Your statement makes no sense, from the tests we already have there isn’t a difference. Unless they console is actually worse it any way it isn’t worse, this should be an easy concept to grasp. Slightly higher temps within the prescribed limits are meaningless, it’s not better or worse (because it doesn’t make it worse).
For some people slightly higher temps would be worst if there isn't a revamp in the cooling to balance that out, which seems to be the case here. There are some people who very much value their electronics running as cool as possible while keeping exhaust temps down, they probably have their reasons.
The guy peddled that the new PS5 would suffer from performance issues or suffer longevity issues due to 3 degrees Celsius measurement difference off the exhaust of the newer model. Please stop signal-boasting bullshit artist making YouTube videos to generate clicks.
But the thing is a 3 degree Celsius increase can actually impact longevity of a device like a games consoles if the player's use case is frequent. It's like saying speeding up the RPM of a disc drive by a few dozen RPM won't affect longevity of the disc drive, which is false. It shortens the longevity especially if the material constructing the drive is rated for a certain longevity at a given RPM lower than what the increased amount would resolve to.
The same principal applies here; if certain components of the motherboard, like the PCB itself, certain capacitors, chips (such as the memory) etc. were rated to operate for x amount of time at y level of temperature under z type of daily load, and you remove a part of the heatpipe component that results in a slightly higher temperature but no change to the aforementioned other components to accommodate for that, you are going to lower the longevity of that device because thermal processes will result in chemical disturbances and breakdowns that are accelerated when the temperature of those thermal processes increases.
Think of the console like a bottle of frozen water. You put that bottle in a blizzard and it'll last for as long in a frozen state as that blizzard is around, which could be weeks. Now let's say that same bottle is in the Saharan desert; at most it'll probably last about 10 minutes before it's completely melted. The composition of the ice in the bottle is the same in both scenarios but not only did the temperature rise in the latter, the duration of activity stayed the same in
both scenarios.
So at least in terms of questioning potential longevity, Austin was not in the wrong. Even the fan is different in the new model, so we'd have to find out what is thermals, voltages etc. are rated for.
