Spawn Wave: How Hot Does The PS5 Really Get?

OP
in an extreme test, like enclosed and with a hoodie covering it, the ram achieved 97 and the cpu around 80.
Ps4 had a similar way of displaying the system was overheating, you could press X to keep going. It eventually forced the console off though, as it happened to mine many times. I imagine the 5 has A system similar in place, even if the video doesn't get that far.
what is the worst that could happen if it gets hot? Will it burn or do only the metal things melt?
The CPU will destroy itself and your console becomes a very heavy paperweight.
It is just a warning that it's getting to hot and just like the PS4 it will simply shutdown if it gets to a certain temperature.
Very interesting video.
I think it only gives the message because it will thermal throttle to maintain "safe" temperatures, only in very extreme cases it will shutdown.
This is the first time that a console works this way, right?

Yes. Quite a bit. Regarding RAM, Spawn got temperature 79 degrees with plates on console, Nexus got 88 C with no plates
Ouch. Wonder what went wrong with Spawns sensor to not read 10 diff.Yes. Quite a bit. Regarding RAM, Spawn got temperature 79 degrees with plates on console, Nexus got 88 C with no plates
Or maybe its that damn 2 different fans thing lol
Maybe its not. He did the exact same thing like Nexus. Btw. Klein Tools MM400 is very good multimeter device.
Weird if true that is a MASSIVE thermal variance across two of the same platforms.
And ya Klein are pretty good. Which is why I was wondering if something went wrong.
