We fire up Sony’s next-gen Playstation 5 and point a thermal imaging camera at it to see just how toasty it gets during gameplay.

No stand for the console but still uploaded this video to cause people to assume it has issues??
Big Dislike
When I play AC Valhalla it get so hot i cant touch the adaptor for the headset.
If you use the stand not against the wall its much better
putting a console up against a wall without its stand…unprofessional is an understatement
Wow. I didn’t know cnet hire stupid people
My laptop hits 90 degree celcius, and im fine with it
35 degrees , he said which isn’t bad,
Wtf thats awesome
Why do people keep complaining about the stand? The stand doesn’t increase circulation, it just helps the console balance better so you don’t accidentally knock it over.
Triggered a lot of fanboys. This is not science man who cares.
Correction. The series x was playing backwards compatible games that are much easier to run than current gen games because of lower graphical fidelity and texture detail than the games that where running on the ps5. Seriously if you wanna say a game from previous gen is more demanding than an open world game with ray tracing then your bias is in question.
Also you know the air that cools the power supply unit comes out the bottom right, so you should really stick it on the stand.
What does this prove? How hot the plastic gets?
Why don’t mofos know how to venitale and use a damn provided stand..fail!
You are calculating plastic shield of console itself. 😅
Lmfao about the people getting banned from Playstation services lol
who cares?
DeMonS SouLS??!!
Play cold war zombies in 120hz. Lol it overheated my ps5 and my ps5 restarted.
I think he’s getting fired
Me: Mom, can I have a Digital Foundry?
Mom: We have Digital Foundry at home.
DF at home:
(JK, love Cnet)
Ummm there is so much wrong with this video I don’t even know where to begin. The responsible thing is for this video to be taken down with all this bad information.
Dude you don’t even have the stand and it’s on the wall. You can afford a thermal phone but don’t know how heat works?
Thermal camera is flawed. Gamer Nexus took it apart and installed heat sensors on CPU/GPU and system memory chips. The system memory temperature reached up to 90 degree Celsius. Also the heat sinks appears to be adequate, but the air often hit the side of the heat sink, rather than flow through the fins. The air cooling system is aerodynamically inefficient, the air is restrained by the side panels. Taking the side panel off reduce the temperature by 10 degree Celsius.
Nice vid, but you should try COD multiplayer online, that’s when it’s actually putting power
Thanks for the content.
Do you mind repeating this test, but now with the console horizontal? I’m curious to know.. Tkx adv.
He’s playing games that are not very demanding. He’s not really challenging the hardware.
Interesting thanks.
Sony said you should keep the ps5 at least 10cm (4inches) away from wall surface
Fan noice level?
After about 2hours of straight play on God of War I temped mine with a Zoto PM6530D Infrared Temp Gun. Set at 95 emmesivity it peaked out at 110.3 degrees Fahrenheit immune after running all of the mesphelhiem trials. What I noticed is majority of heat comes out the back near the cable ports at a downward angle. So I wouldn’t put this thing with its back facing a wall or inside of a cabinet. I had mined facing the wall when first temping it and noticed a 6 degrees Fahrenheit drop when I turned the vent outward.
Guys this test is not Ps5’s cooling system take air from front side and give it back side. So with stand or without stand it is not important for this test. Stand just keep the console stable. Without the stand, the console slides a lot. This is the only feature of the stand.
Not a logical test and without a ps5 rack and pressed against the wall. Really bad video.
Lol no stand, close to the wall, and an ambient temperature of I’m sorry. Did I hear 14c. My house currently is sitting at 27c. The back of the console gets pretty warm. No real heating issues though.
This guy is a Xbox fanboy who tried to make PS5 look bad, but lack a bit of intelligence when doing it, lol.
This test is fail why the ps5 is directly against the wall the cooling system cant cool the ps5 properly because the wall is blocking the rear exhaust of ps5 this is big fail…
This is what a 2 year old does to their new console
My friend, for information, the new devices are the right ones, because the temperature outside the device is 52, which is not normal. This is my opinion in general
If the room temp is 14 degrees celsius, you wouldn’t be in a t‑shirt. This test is nowhere near accurate.
