Do the PS5 cooling stands actually work?

PS5 cooling stands generally do not work effectively and can even hinder cooling because most push air in the wrong direction (into the console's intake) or disrupt its designed airflow, forcing the console to work harder; proper ventilation, keeping the console clean, and using the original stand are far better solutions. While some stands claim minor temperature drops, many users find them useless gimmicks, with the console's built-in system being robust enough, making external fans unnecessary for most.

Is it better to sit PS5 horizontal or vertical?

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.
