65 °C

This is nothing. CPU/GPU are chilling and feel super comfy at 65 °C.

[Sure]

According to Tom down the road their both going to be so hot the moon will explode.. you heard it here first folks. 👍

I'm more concerned about that liquid metal lifespan over thermal paste than anything, though.

[Gregory]

Why? It's liquid metal. Metal cannot dry-out. Only pump out, as opposed to thermal pastes which are known to dry.

I've had alienware 17 R(5) 2013 with LM and after 5 years of usage it's still there. Same goes for my 17R5 from 2018.

Unconfirmed reports?
So basically fake news like most of your articles 😂

Only people that would have access to ps5 is sony

[Stuart.]

I'm no expert but I think this is heat that the heatsink has collected and that the console is pumping away. I reckon the components inside are cooler than that..hopefully.

[kretel]

Those temperatures are not even remotely close to being high, over 90 would be concerning.

This doesn't contradict early reports that the Xbox runs 'hotter'. The bin design is more open to contact so you would perceive it to be hotter to touch. The directs heat away from contact points so you think it runs cooler.

But being in the 60-70 degree range is perfect fine.

so, AMD is putting their hardware on a timer by shipping something other than a AIO stock cooler with their CPUs? Both they and NV are forcing people into an upgrade cycle by setting their GPUs to have a target temperature in the 70s-80s?

@Sukhoi
What are you talking about?! Those cpu and gpu temperatures are perfectly fine, besides it's up to the console manufacturers to keep them cool, not AMD.
It's just another article about which console is "better".

[Logic]

30 days before release and Sony still hasn't sent out units to reviewers and tech channels. It's quite obvious they're hiding something LOL

[Suxo]

Yea maybe, but it's getting cooled.
Xbox units reportedly are very hot to the hand.

[Right]

This isn't even good fake news. 60-70c is as good as it gets for air cooled GPU/ CPU.

Definitely telling google not to show me any more stuff from this site.

65 is just ticking over inside a PC, after seeing the size of that ps5 heatsink and fan, I doubt 65 will make the ps5 sweat too much.
