 So you guys remember all the reports out there that the Xbox series X is like Basically a space heater in your apartment. It is going to melt things down and overheat and all that jazz and it turned out that these reports were Completely made up the person who originally stated this it was a joke Just because there's some slightly warm air coming out of the top of the Xbox series X This is going to be true anything and I talked about this before because PCs You know I'll put heat in the same way and how I actually really like the cooling design in the Xbox series X How it sucks in air from the the back panel but on the bottom and also a little bit from the Actual bottom of the system and then exhaust it out the top running it over all the components pretty evenly I feel like this is a pretty standard PC like cooling design and I think the Xbox series X Considering the clock speeds it runs that and the power it packs in it would be just fine now I saw the PlayStation 5 tear down and While the heat sink is massive and while they are using liquid metal I didn't actually like the cooling design of the platform because the way that it vents out the air is like on this two-sided thing these vents on the top and The fan the way the fan is designed it can't actually blow air Evenly out of both sides, so it kind of leaves it Almost choked a little bit and now we have some you know quote-unquote Unconfirmed reports coming from no book check net that actually states the PlayStation 5 runs hotter than the series X And remember the PlayStation 5 does not run at the same clock speeds as the series X It runs at like less clock speeds so to have a platform That runs at higher clock speeds, but runs cooler than a platform at lower clock speeds That means that the cooling solution the Xbox series X is using is actually more effective than the cooling solution Being used by the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox series X isn't even using liquid metal Which by the way my Xbox series X will be using liquid metal stay tuned for that because when I get mine in before I even turn the system. Well, maybe I'll turn it on once. I got to confirm it works I don't want a DOA system and then assume I broke it But I will be putting liquid metal in my system stay tuned for that. We're gonna be doing a video. It's gonna be great I might have the first liquid metal, you know heat transferred system in the world, but Let's get into this because I Need to let you guys know the temperatures are not up for either platform or not at these levels that you need to be Concerned, but I do find it interesting the PlayStation 5 does actually run hotter Before I get into that we are giving away a PlayStation 5 and Xbox series X or Nintendo switch also two copies of Pikmin 3 Deluxe head down in the description of Head down into the description to find out how to enter also we're on our road to 100,000 subscribers if we can hit 100k in 2020 I'll have a massive thousand plus dollar giveaway happening in January also when I head over to our twitch channel Because we will be streaming not only our podcast over there But also a lot of other streams happening as well on Nintendo Prime TV We'll have a link to that down there as well also where I think I like 56 or 57 subs over there if we can hit 100 There will be some twitch sub exclusive giveaways also. Hey look, you know We're giving away a couple $20 each of your cards over on our twitch in a future stream this week. All right So the PlayStation 5 runs hotter than the Xbox series X Okay, let's get into this all right because we have three next gen systems to look at We have the Xbox series s the Xbox series X and the PlayStation 5 the all-digital or the disc version doesn't really matter because the disc drive it adds No, negligible heat to the the whole equation So we don't really need to worry about that and it's not being cooled by the cooling solution any ways. All right So this is written by Daniel R. Deacon And it goes out here and it talks about the place each five X series X and all that and let's get into let's get into this so The PlayStation 5 runs at 65 degrees Celsius Which is the peak okay? It runs at an average of 55 degrees hits 65 degrees. Okay. That's pretty warm 149 degrees Fahrenheit would be very hot to the touch maybe even scalding But it wouldn't necessarily be abnormal my 5700 XT when I overclock it I'm hitting peaks of 80 plus degrees Celsius, which is perfectly fine and not within You know it's not going to crash remember. This is the peak. This is what PlayStation 5 runs at It's pretty warm, but it's not so warm that you need to be worried about it Any traditional gaming PC is going to run much toastier than that our laptops even with lesser Components because of the restricted airflow and the smaller heat sinks tend to run all Significantly hotter than this. That's why it could feel even really hot on our laps So that's just something to keep in mind as we talk about this So the Xbox series X which which has less powerful components in it is actually the coolest of the three it runs an estimated 47 degrees Celsius on average 116 degrees Fahrenheit with a peak of 58 degrees Celsius not surprising It's got a massive fans got a good heat sink, but it's also the least powerful That's not really that big of a deal the Xbox series X runs at 52 degrees Celsius or 125 degrees on average with peaks at 62 degrees Or 143 degrees so there's about six degrees Fahrenheit difference or three degrees Celsius difference between the Xbox series X and the PlayStation 5 which again runs at 65 degrees Celsius at its peak With the 55 degrees Celsius average again We have I've looked at this before and I actually wonder Because they didn't include liquid metal in the PlayStation 5 Just on a whim because liquid metal has its own issues It tends to not last as long as traditional thermal paste It tends to get hard and it could crack and there could be issues that make the PlayStation 5 for those people that aren't comfortable tearing down systems And replacing thermal paste it could make things much more Difficult for the PlayStation 5 to have a longer shelf life This is before we get into SSDs and that they have a limited shelf life as well, but you know I Wonder what were the temperatures without Liquid metal because the Xbox series X doesn't have liquid metal So with liquid metal used on the series X would the differences be even larger Because liquid metal as a thermal conductive is better than any other thermal paste you can use So it will transfer heat to the heatsink better than anything else. So with traditional thermal paste What do the PlayStation 5 temperatures actually run at? Why do they need to use liquid metal? Is it possible it goes over 70 degrees Celsius with normal thermal paste? Let's just say the PlayStation 5 is a hot boy and I've I talked about this on Twitter I didn't make a video about it because I don't want to seem like I'm just hating on Sony it It feels like every time I talk about PlayStation It's like a negative story and I hate that because I'm actually looking forward to the PlayStation 5 and the exclusive games at Demon's Souls Mm-Miles Morales. Mm like these games are great on PlayStation 5 even though I might have to wait a month like my PlayStation 5 is coming from Canada So it's it's gonna be there's a lot of I live in the US So even though it's just north of the border It's pretty difficult to get PlayStation 5 over the border and to me in a reasonable amount of time especially with COVID but you know What's interesting here since I'll have the Xbox series s and x-day one is looking at how Sony's cooling compares to what Microsoft's Microsoft they are going with almost Maximum airflow right there's holes in the bottom of the system and then there's holes at the bottom back of the system Where all the IO is and all of this is used to force airflow over the components every component in the system including the big heat sink And then exhausted out the top with that huge which looks like 120 millimeter 140 millimeter fan We'll have to get exact dimensions on that And then obviously the series s as well has a really huge fan the PlayStation 5's fan is big At least in comparison to other platforms of the past But it's smaller than the fan that Microsoft is using but it's also a different thin design So it kind of has a lot more fins in it in comparison But it seems to not push as much air or at least I shouldn't say that maybe it's just that the air looks like it's choked off I you guys tell me I'm not an engineer But I do know when I've when I've looked at different PC cases And I've you know explored different varieties of airflow that the PlayStation 5 looks like it's pretty air restricted coming out Like the actual room it has to push air out of the system does not like like there's like these indents on both sides But the fan can only blow one way it can't blow both ways the fan doesn't blow both ways Okay, so the fan isn't positioned where it's pointing straight up where it could suck air up on both sides of the thing and blow out You know both of those little indents evenly That's not how the fan is the fan is positioned sideways Which means air is only going out one of those vents So the other event is completely aesthetic and doesn't it doesn't affect anything Which means there's very little room for air to get out of the system I know that they talk about how all the look at the ventilation on the back There's plenty of air to come in which is true But if air can't escape once it comes in that means the platform to running hotter No, this doesn't mean PlayStation 5 is gonna overheat It's not these temperatures are nowhere near Silicon deltas where you need to worry about overheating at least we don't think so of course these temperatures Don't say that they're being ran in like the worst case scenarios like in a hot summer day out in Arizona Or it's a hundred and fifteen a hundred and twenty degrees and people don't have AC in their house And then they're running a super intense triple a game for three hours straight and seeing what what the temperatures do It's either the platform can handle it again We're not saying that these are put in the most extreme real-life situations by the way this happens, but I do think that Temperature wise we're not gonna need to worry about either of these platforms a series X or S Let's just be fair. Let's include that in there Or the PlayStation 5 I run at temperatures that are anything worth noting Microsoft even came out after the whole oh my gosh, you know, it's like a furnace thing coming from the series X I mean like the temperatures are like exactly the same as the Xbox one X and literally nobody complained about the Xbox one X So what's the problem? I think you know bigger issues gonna be you know noise and right now We're hearing from people that that have an Xbox series X or at least a developer unit of Xbox series X You know, that's not final hardware That you know what the series X is pretty whisper quiet Despite that huge fan is the PlayStation 5 whisper quiet. I don't know. We have some independent reviewers or youtubers I guess out in Japan that have units, but you know, it's in Japan Details are kind of scarce for us here in the English speaking world So we'll see when the actual English reviewers get their hands on it What happens at least in our neck of the woods because again, I don't speak Japanese It's been really hard to follow Japanese coverage of the PlayStation 5. But yeah, I'm All we know is PlayStation 5 is the biggest system yet Xbox is much more compact But it seems to have better cooling despite not using liquid metal So I very curious what the PlayStation 5 would run like without liquid metal In fact, I almost won a D liquid metal the PlayStation 5 does that make sense? Like take the liquid metal off put normal thermal paste on and see what happens Let me know down in the comments if you would like me to do that because I'm putting liquid metal on the Xbox One series X would you like me to not like the D liquid metal and put normal thermal paste on? Won't that be weird like make the thermal conductivity worse just for the sake of a video? But then it feels like I'm targeting because like I'm making something better with the X making it worse with that Doesn't make any sense does it or maybe like I should rip off the vents and try to try to fix the PlayStation 5 air flows problem Like should I go in there like modify the chassis and fix the airflow problems So it has even better airflow and gets lower temps again Not the times aren't even that bad as they are I could do nothing to these platforms and the temps are just fine But I don't know I like doing funky things Maybe you guys have some crazy ideas I could do today to the sdx and the PlayStation 5 What crazy modifications or changes would you like me to make to those platforms? Right when they arrive at my house, I could do something crazy and unique on this channel That's not just about the games although we'll obviously be looking at the games and comparing feature sets and Operating systems and personal preferences and controllers because we're finally moving away from the traditional dual shock design and that really excites me for PlayStation because one reason why I don't play PlayStation platforms is my hands cramped too much on the dual shock design anyways We'll get into all this when it comes out. I'll also grab an old I think I have a dual shock 3 or 2 controller laying around my house I'll grab just for comparison's sake to show you what I'm talking about my hand cramping It's PlayStation 3 controller Anyways, thank you so much for tuning in. I'm Nathan Orwell jazz from the center prime and I'll catch you guys in the next video
