Rising Concerns Over PS5 Liquid Metal Cooling Causing Console Failures
The PlayStation 5 is experiencing widespread liquid metal cooling issues, especially in older, out-of-warranty units, which could lead to console failures within a few years. The problem is exacerbated when the console is placed vertically, causing dry spots on the APU that may result in shutdowns under stress. Sony has attempted to address the issue in newer models, but many affected units remain at risk, prompting calls for a free repair program to prevent widespread failures.
