How to Improve your PS5 Game Graphics!

Is it better to put PS5 vertical or horizontal?

You can use your PS5 either vertically or horizontally, as Sony designed it for both, but horizontal placement is generally recommended for better dust management and stability, while vertical works if you have ample space and keep vents clear to avoid potential liquid metal shifting issues or dust clogging. Horizontal placement catches less dust and is less prone to tipping, but vertical placement saves space if airflow isn't restricted.

Is it better to put your PS4 vertically or lay it down?

You can place your PS4 either vertically or horizontally; it's designed for both, but horizontal is generally better for airflow unless you use an official vertical stand for stability and clearance, as vertical placement can sometimes cause the fan to work harder or block vents if not properly supported. Personal preference and space often dictate the choice, but ensuring vents aren't blocked is key for cooling in either position, with horizontal sometimes needing slight elevation for airflow underneath.

Proper airflow, avoiding enclosed spaces, and keeping vents clean are crucial to prevent overheating in any position.

Does the PS5 liquid metal leak?

The PS5 liquid metal leak is a real issue where the gallium-based coolant can shift, creating dry spots on the APU, causing overheating, fan noise, and performance drops, especially with vertical use or wear; Sony has implemented design fixes in later models (Slim/Pro) with deeper grooves to contain it, but it can still affect older units, requiring repair or horizontal placement to prevent short-circuiting or APU damage.
