Can't it be they just spotted a defective unit? These guys are goofy simply by they way they remove the covers with a hammer btw.

My ps5 BURNT OUT! No warning then the screen went blank, smoke, flash and burning electrical sound and smell that could of caused a fire had I not been there to turn it off straight away. The burning smell does seem worse around that area. It's now been 3 days and I've a total 5hrs30 on the phone trying to sort it out and Sony have still not arranged to pick up my console, apparently a supervisor will call me back at some point.

Has this test been done in the same way on the new Xbox to see how they compare?

Plenty of people that can't afford beds still buy these consoles. Trust me when you are an internet installer u see everything.  People sit inside 90+degrees and have 80inch tvs but won't pay for ac.

This is very concerning since I can not use a air conditioner, health reasons forbid me to use one. So gaming in a hot room is my normal during CA hot summers.
Temperatures in Southern California do exceed 100°F in summer, so gaming is not always comfortable. Having a system pump out almost 200° heat is going to be a nightmare come the summertime.

I suppose someone is going to sit in a room at 95 degrees and play a video game? I highly doubt it. Especially if you spend a good amount of time gaming to begin with, your going to want to feel comfortable. Not like the console is going to be outdoors.

There have been quite a bit of cases of ps5 issues in Brazil.

Hot country in summer, I wonder if this might be contributing to it.

Well I've never built a high end PC with heatsinks on just PART of the memory, so what is be pointed out here is VALID, the design is FLAWED and will lead to those edge case failures.
Will be fixed in the next iteration I'm sure.

Steve is usually good w/ his testing. He failed to point out though that these temps are within standard operating temps. That said, he did point out that they could very easily get the memory modules certified for higher temps.

Another thing, he intentionally ran these tests as if they were general benchmarks, putting maximum temps on all components. These won't be your standard operating temps and you'd typically only see that sort of draw for moments, not an hour straight. What's more is a simple update to increase fan speed by 5-10% would radically change his thermal results and he admits this.

The fan used has the capability to be turned up significantly more than it currently is set to on their curve. If we were given full control over it, as we are in a pc, I certainly would do so. Yet it's not necessary as things stand. It's also possible, if not likely, had the rams temps gotten any hotter that the fan may have ramped up.

Ya'll just mad PS5 already taking the lead as main go to console? RROD didn't still stop Xbox 360 from selling, neither will this for the PS5.
actually Xbox fixed that with free replacements. Will Sony do that? I highly doubt it.

MS replaced the failed products bc they were legally obligated to do so. The options being waiting and being sued by millions of people which would lead to losses in the billions or fix/replace the product which would cost millions.

This wasn't out of kindness. Right now, companies are dealing w/ being sued for putting out controllers with joystick designs almost outright intended to fail after a certain amount of use.

Where this is different is Steve points out Sony can get memory modules certified w/ higher thermal capacity.

I suppose "Console memory temperature stays below manufacturers max specification" isn't as clickbaity.

Perhaps don't play it 72 hours straight.
