A source of concern from both users and manufacturers is ensure that the performance of the console’s cooling system lives up to what is expected of it , in addition to be able to achieve acceptable performance in most situations. Among them, it is contemplated the fact of placing the console vertically or horizontally, and that the performance is the same.

According to Yasuhiro Otori, Head of Thermal and Mechanical Design, the console’s cooling system is designed to have exactly the same performance be placed vertically or horizontally, something that together with the rest of the details that we have known so far, such as having liquid metal between the processor and the heatsink , suggest that the thermal performance of the PlayStation 5 should be praiseworthy.

However, it drops that there is no difference between cooling performance between vertical and horizontal placement from a design point of view, so it will be interesting to see cooling performance tests when the console is di available to the public.

Also, it is specified that the chimney effect in this console is not appreciable, and that the temperature difference is so small that it is considered part of the measurement error margin, so, in summary, we should be able to position the console however we want without worrying that in one orientation it may cool down worse than in another .
