>PlayStation 5 Liquid Metal Issues Could Cause Many Consoles to Die In a Couple of Years, As More Users Are Reporting Problems Over Time

it's probably affecting 99% of the console but the jew snoy deepstate is covering it up.

Bump

As expected.

you're trolling right?

>>713659394
The company that has twice claimed that the PS2 somehow sells millions of units decades after being discontinued just so the DS and the Switch can't claim the title of best selling console of all time is trying to hide a gigantic flaw on the PS5 core design? NO WAY!

The PS4 had fan issues and sounded like a jet engine.
The PS5 melts.
The switch has more drift than the hills of Japan
The Xbox has no one buying it.

What a strange time for consoles

>>713659251 (OP)
Mine works fine. Launch day purchase.

>>713661276
snoy deepstate post.
All launch day playstation 5 exploded and there has been a massive cover up.

>>713661017
160 million PS5 is in the bag!

>>713661408
Somebody out there is playing DS2 right now with a Pekora hat and it's not someone on PC.

im confused why they went with liquid metal in the first place
was thermal paste not good enough?

>>713661408
Wrong. All 75 million ps5s are just collecting dust in a scalpers warehouse somewhere and he can’t sell them because nobody wants one

>>713659251 (OP)
Sony tried to be too cool (no pun intended) with specfags and now they will pay for it.

>>713661680
Wrong, they exploded, all scalpers are dead, why do you think you can still find Switches in stores right now HMMMMMMMMMMMM?!
Check and mate.

>>713661605
liquid metal provides better thermal transfer to the heatsink at the cost of long term reliability.

>>713661208
Gpus melt and double in price every two years. More like gaming hardware in general.

>>713659951
Imagine believing these numbers. I remember the Switch launch, it was a big deal and people were actually talking about it irl. You expect me to believe the Switch 2 was 10 times bigger, even though I heard literally nothing about it outside /v/? Fuck off SHILL

Well good thing I converted both of my PS5s to Pro models.

his house was instantly carbonized after turning on the console.

Whatever just buy a ps6, what are you, poor?

what's with the trend of companies deliberately choosing technology with a huge failure rate?
Liquid Metal, Drifting Sticks, shit lcds, these fucking cables.

Yes.

planned obsolescence
companies don't have to abide to the 0.4% failure rate on electronic goods when they're destined for the consumer market

false

>>713661208
Everyone stopped caring in 2006.

>>713659251 (OP)
The main cause is leaving the Playstation 5 vertical instead of horizontal. Vertical position has a high chance of the liquid metal to drip down off the APU due to gravity. Tell everyone to put their PS5 in the horizontal position.

>>713666528
Assuming OP isn't trolling this is still a terrible design decision on their part. Such a defect should have never made it past the prototype phase.

i feel like if they were failing at a high failure rate more people would be talking about it. its nowhere near RROD levels

>>713666528
I'm MELTING! Melting! Oh — what a world, what a world!

>>713659251 (OP)

Nothingburger. Everyone was talking about how "if you place your PS5 in a standing up position it will die". Turns out this was true, but only for the ones that were opened for a repair. If you remove the heatsink for any reason, even under warranty then it will likely leak and die. My console has been standing upright for 4 years now (soon to be 5 at the end of December) and nothing has happened.

>>713659251 (OP)
>liquid metal

>>713666528
Does this happen on PCs that use liquid metal as its cooling paste as well?

>>713659394

Aw sweet, a schizo thread by the cult

>>713662018
Yes, easily. Because it's selling online, to preestablished Switch cultists
I have online friends who went nuts, buying 3 systems and shit like that. I have zero offline normie friends who bought one, perhaps they don't even know it came out. When many many offline normies were I knew were onto the Switch, mainly to buy it for their kids

>>713666528
>Tell everyone to put their PS5 in the horizontal position.
But it doesn't fit on a shelf that way, it's fucking huge. Even the Slim was fucking huge

i dont believe it

Was putting volatile liquid metal in an electronic toy box REALLY a good idea?

>>713670351
isnt that the same as watercooling?

>>713670679
Water isn't metal

>>713661605
There’s a ps5 repair video where the guy has to scrape off the dry Liquid Metal off and apply thermal paste and then it works fine

>>713666528
This is legitimately the ugliest fucking console of all time I hate it so goddamn much I used to say "anything is more creative than tilter trapezoid PS4 and I come to realize now creativity is actually bad.

If you niggers didn't learn your lesson about SONY with the PS3 disc reader you deserve what you get.

>>713659251 (OP)
Sony has done this since the PS2 and the plastic gear on the disc laser that was designed to fail.

>>713659251 (OP)
Why in god's name aren't they using thermal pads in consoles, graphite ones have excellent conductivity and never have to be replaced

>>713671767
All my Sony consoles still work even after decades. Does this mean the PS5 will work decades later? I don't know, but they at least have a good track record of working properly for me.

However my Xboxes (OG and 360's) all gave me hardware problems with the 360 giving me the most issues. I also even have a 360 Slim and even that shit got RROD. Are the later Xbox consoles (One and Series) better? Perhaps, but I don't know since I don't own them. The Series X interests me a bit due to backwards compatibility but unless I get one for a great price I am just not going to buy one.

>>713667882
legit didn't notice the coil whine on my PS5 until weeks after i got it because only PS5 games trigger it and i only played PS4 games

>>713672346
PS1 and PS2 are somewhat durable, I need to use both of them in a 45 degree angle for them to read games, but my PS3 slim overheats and shuts down playing almost anything and it was like that 2 years after launch. My 360 elite still works fine though, that version probably had most of the rrods fixed. I haven't bought any consoles since so got nothing to say about em

>>713659951
You are fucking with the X axis and anyone with a brain can see the massive bias in comparing 4 day sales to 16 day sales. It is obvious that the Switch will sell more, but the graph is fucked. Kill yourself.

i got my ps5 completely free due to an error, so if it dies i dont mind, also ps5 is my last sony console, ill be glad if it dies

>>713672526
Same here, thought people were exaggerating at first. Then I booted up Ratchet & Clank and it sounded like a tiny jet engine trying to break into song. Wild how it’s dead silent with PS4 stuff but starts screaming the second a native PS5 title runs.

>>713673635
None of this is happening to any of my Playstations (1, 2 and 3). All work fine. Even played a ton of PS3 just last year after it being stored away for several years. You might want to start wrapping your consoles up to get more longevity out of them and keep dust and grime from decaying the systems.

>>713662445
ps5 slim player here, i'm going with the xbox this time for what are we on.... gen 10?

>>713676220
It's the laser in PS1 and 2 specifically. Im surprised you don't know as it's extremely common practice to keep them tilted to keep em working. But yeah I'd still say the PS1 and 2 are durable since they still work, they are launch models too (day 1) and have been in extremely heavy use. No excuse for the PS3 slim to fail with how little I ever played it though

>>713661605
Thermal density, paste doesn't cut it anymore.

>>713668164
Anon, you don't have to be gay and a liar, you can be just gay.

>>713671136
Usually a spring.

>>713671767
The ps2 constantly failing is what led me to getting an xbox. And with the 360, I actually only got the rrod once and then never again till I traded it in to get the red one that came with re5.

>>713667813
GN just tore down an nvidia blackwell GPU that's basically a souped up 5090 with a fuckton of vram and it uses paste instead of liquid metal like the normal 5090, and he speculated it was for longevity reasons for server/workstation customers not having to worry about their 10,000 dollar card leaking metal over time on enterprise shit

>>713659251 (OP)
Old news but true. Don't put your ps5s vertical. Liquid metal sags which leads to some parts not being covered properly, which leads to overheating.
I use sag intentionally because on very few cases it's actually leaking, the liquid metal usually stays where it should but in an uneven distribution.
Overheating usually hits the psu or lan card first before the actual chips did.
But we alrdy knew that years ago. I made this post years ago...

>>713659394

lmao

>>713659251 (OP)
We're already seeing it in fighting game tournaments, made worse with consoles being kept on for days in a hot ass venue. The console would just randomly crash in high profile matches.

I remember you faggots at PS5 launch spamming that video about the ssd getting "too hot" and claiming that all PS5s will die in 2 years.
Meanwhile, my launch PS5 is still working fine 4 years later.

>>713684068
If you don't use it it can't overheat

>Everyone remembers RROD
>No one remembers the other console that had a 100% failure rate
This thing was such a piece of shit after a few years. The contacts inside the console would bend over time and eventually no amount of moving the cartridge, blowing on/cleaning the cartridge contacts, or reseting the console would get the cartridge to work.

another console hate thread full of seething faggots who don't own the console

>>713684914
Also really stupid that the problem could be mitigated and the console's useful lifespan extended by removing the cartridges so there was nothing in it when it wasn't being used, but of course Nintendo didn't bother to tell everyone that. Why do that when you can let the hardware fail and then get customers to shell out extra money for a replacement.

>>713684914
My NES still works fine 40 years later

>>713684914
Actually that's not true. They only bend if you used the fame genie like a faggot, because that did bend the pins with the weird insertuon method it used. Just using normal cartridges doesn't hurt it.
Now, the lockout chip is a piece of shit, but thankfully that can be disabled. Keep your games clean and it won't be an issue.

>>713685240
I never used a Game Genie and my console was almost impossible to get working after 5-6 years. I tried cleaning the contacts with rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip and it didn't help.

>>713685415
>my personal experience

hey alright you are brown, i suggest you go back to x

>>713683225
It's real and we know of this since launch, bros itt even tell you what to do to prevent it. But I expect tendies are panicking and recycling old Ls from other consoles to divert attention because they can't imagine ppl just go "yeah what a fuck up, here do this and take care."

>>713688418
That's around the same time switch 2 owners have to repaste their units since they used the same cheap thermal paste as they did in the switch 1 that startes to dry out after 1.5 years, now exposed to much higher temps.
Tendies and snoys finally brought together by overheating.

I wonder why this doesn't get spammed like everything else here?
