Sony's VP of mechani🦋cal design, Yasuhiro Ootori, has said, "there is no difference in the cooling performance between vertical and horizontal installation" of the PS5. 

In a translation on from a recent interview with Japanese site , Ootori addresses a question regarding whether the position of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:PS5 will have any 🌳effect on t﷽he cooling system's performance. 

"This is a frequently asked question. From the designer's point of view, there is no difference in cooling performance between vertical and horizontal installaꦐtion," Ootori says. "I think some people think that the heat dissipation efficiency should be higher in the vertical installation due to the𒆙 chimney effect. However, in a cooling system with an active fan (electric fan), the chimney effect is at the measurement error level. It works according to the specifications in both horizontal and vertical installation. Personally, I like the vertical placement where the top and bottom of the "PS logo" can be seen correctly."

In a recent 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:PS5 teardown video featuring Ootori, it demonstrates how you can remove the vertical base of the console by way of a screw ಞfixing it in place. The base can also be switched around to support the console horizontally, so you can place your PS5 in either position. 

The cooling system also had an effect on the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:PS5 design, with the fans factoring into the size of the hardware. The same interview with 4Gamer.net also revealed that the PS5 cooling fans will get online updates for optimization, so the♏ cooling system will adjust to th🍸e demands of which game you're playing over time.

After writing about all things tech and games-related, I then did a brief stint as a freelancer before I landed my role as a staff writer here at GamesRadar+. Now I get to write features, previews, and reviews, and when I'm not doing that, you can usually find me lost in any one of the Dragon Age or Mass Effect games, tucking into another delightful indie, or drinking far too much tea for my own good.
