Product Information

Moving on, there’s also a total of 3 USB hubs as well which can be used for charging both DualSense controllers and wired headphones. Unfortunately, it doesn’t save a user’s RGB preferences. To that end, if you turn off RGB lighting and use the PS5 the next day, the stand automatically enables RGB lighting again. It’s a minor inconvenience but something to take note of nonetheless. Organize Your PS5 Like a Pro

Here’s where it gets a bit difficult. Sony doesn’t like to publish detailed specs about their consoles, such as the temperature rating. As a result, as with earlier Sony consoles, we have to rely on the community for information. Since the PS5 is relatively new, a lot of what we’ve been able to glean is either murky or unconfirmed. We can say for 100 percent certain that the PS5 will not be permanently damaged at a temperature of 90C. Some tests put that number as high as 105C. Then again, these numbers are themselves based on unreliable third-party temperature apps. What we’re saying is that while PS5 overheat reports are exceedingly rare, we can’t give you a definite temperature rating.On the other hand, there’s no such thing as an overheat-proof console. That’s why every modern console has overheat protection circuitry! If there’s not enough cooling and the hardware gets too hot, it will automatically shut down. Provided this circuitry works, even an overheating incident won’t permanently damage your PS5. But it’s still an inconvenience. At the very least, you’ll have to wait for your console to cool off before you can continue gaming.

The cooling fans come with three levels and can ramp up to 4500 RPM. Needless to say, you may find the fan noise a bit irritating when you’re playing games. As such, we recommend you keep the fan speeds at medium or low levels for the most optimal gaming experience. The stand can charge up to two PS5 controllers in 3-3.5 hours and is powered by the USB-C output from the PS5. The PlayStation 5 certainly has a distinct look, but there’s more to the design of this console than its giant polar-white fins. In fact, the PS5 holds a few different secrets about how it can be set up. The fans themselves draw a reasonable amount of air, and seem to do a good job of cooling your console. Just as importantly, they run quietly. You don’t have to worry about a ton of fan noise, even during quiet moments in a game or a movie. On the top front of the housing, you’ll see a row of LED lights. These indicate the status of the controller chargers, as well as the fan. The power LED functions as a soft touch button for turning the fan on and off.

But more importantly, the panels serve a crucial stabilizing role. Obviously, the PS5 will sit very unevenly in its horizontal orientation if the panels aren’t there, since there’s no way to attach the stand without the bottom white panel in place. And in the console’s vertical orientation, the stand has a central channel in which the PS5 sits, flanked by elevated pieces of the stand that hug the sides of the console. Without the side panels attached to the console, the system is not secure at all in the stand. If, for some reason, you desperately want to use a naked PS5, your best bet is to orient the console vertically on a flat, stable surface without the stand attached. While there isn’t necessarily a right or wrong way to orient the console, we can say that the PS5 is vertical in almost all of Sony’s marketing materials, which might imply that that’s the way the company intends for people to use it. We can also independently verify that it looks way better when it’s standing vertically. The lower price does come at one cost, though: it has only two cooling fans, and only two speed options: high and low. The low speed still helps keep the heat down, but it’s not as efficient as the high speed option. The Yuanhot Vertical Cooling Stand works with both Digital and Disc versions of the PS5, too, and its minimalistic design will appeal to quite a few people who find the larger builds somewhat garish.
