Keeping your PS5 vertical might cause some issues, as reported by some users, with specific faults. Sometimes.

Damn right!Can you imagine advising to open your console and risking fucking it over a problem reported by a handful of people?

Keeping mine upright, and if it dies...Sony can sucka fat one. It's iterally advertised as stood up so should operate for years in that position. Why even go with liquid metal and a vertical designed console if its not ideal to work together, seems odd?
I'm hoping it will be fine, but that guy really knows his stuff so obviously it can be an issue. Bleugh.

Yeah, mine has been fine since launch. I thought the above vid was more interesting because it was coming from TronicsFix.

Is he seriously advising people replacing the liquid metal every once or 2 years? Insane. No people without serious experience should do that. Too many issues could happen. The most likely result being damaging the PS5 in the process.
But yes since the first time I saw videos of the liquid metal I had become worried about that potential problem. I think for now the best would be to keep it horizontal indeed. And I don't think Sony will openly talk about reliability problems to their consumers.

I always keep my consoles horizontal.... except XSX. I'm sure my PS5 would be just fine as is (and it's just so dang big and attention grabbing)
Probably very little to do, but I just don't see it would hurt the machine with "heat rises" theory... even though some cases like FT02/RV02 proved it didn't really matter much.

doesn't the PS5 already come with a stand ? Why would you need to buy this rickety ass thin g?

Not mad, these guys are just grifters and propagating issues where there are none.
Some people are going to break their shit based on paranoia.

Somehow, the included stand is actually ricketier. I would have bought a set of these if my PS5 would fit into my TV display case with them attached. It barely fits with the included shitty stand.

Love that this was bumped for a cringey click bait video not worth the time it took to be made.
The average consumer isn't going to pop open their PS5 every 2 yrs and re-do the liquid metal on the board
What a fucking clown.

Sometimes sideways is good when you feel a bit sleepy.

Same people that got blinded by PSVR2. Those Japs got some high-end tech that could check your bloodstream if it has any greens in it to inflict damage or self-destruct.

lol wtf is that.horizontal since day one.

They give you a stand in the box and what's wrong with that ?

It pops off if you mildly try to move it around. I don't move it around, but if you try to replace the liquid metal and tearing it out and licking it on a regular basis you would need those skates.

It's possibly the shittiest, most unstable, most easily detached stand ever designed.

it's great. Never used hrizontally because it's stupid. The console was clearly designed to stand vertically and stand is good for that.
They just made horizontal compatibility for pricks who would annoy them about it

Or foreveralones who have cats instead of friends. Because cats are bastards and try to knock everything over. Can't knock It over if it's already knocked over.
