Why it worked

The video addresses a common user behavior (how to position a popular gaming console) and provides a technical explanation with visual aids, tapping into gamer curiosity and concern for their expensive hardware. The mention of GTA 6 adds relevance and urgency for the target audience.

Summary

The creator explains why it's better to lay a PS5 flat rather than stand it vertically. This is due to the liquid metal used for cooling, which can droop and damage components when the console is upright.

So go ahead and put that 5 flat instead of vertical if you want to preserve it for GTA 6.

WHY ARE Y'ALL STAND YOUR P. S5 UP VERTICALLY? OH, I. I SEE WHY THAT IS NOT GOOD. AND LAY THIS DOWN. WHY THIS HAPPENS PLAYSTATION 5 DOESN'T USE THERMAL PASTE PAD. IT USES SOMETHING CALLED LIQUID METAL. METAL IS A LIQUID, WHICH IS AND BUT IT'S BETTER AT DISSIPATING HEAT P55 INTO THE HEATSINK, HAVE A HEATING PROBLEM, UNLIKE THE P S4, WHICH WAS PRETTY MUCH AN AIRPLANE. AND BY STANDING 5 UP VERTICALLY, GRAVITY PULLS DOWN AND AS YOU CAN DAMAGE OTHER PARTS ON THE MOTHERBOARD. ALL JUST DROOP SIDE AND NOT P. U. PROPERLY. RUIN THE LIFESPAN S. 5. BECAUSE G. SO GO AHEAD AND PUT THAT 5 FLAT INSTEAD OF VERTICAL IF IT FOR G.
