I’m on my second PS5

First Series X

PS5 just started shutting down randomly, I’m normally inquisitive enough to strip apart a console but having it die in two years with my light gaming? Yeah, wasn’t best pleased but that’s tech for you.

Both consoles are just really, luck of the draw. I could say SX all day yet you go buy one and it die the next day.

I’ve seen PSU failures for both, lasers and the Liquid Metal thing on PS5 etc

It is what it is - a lot of people are going to brush the Liquid TP aside but yeah I’ve put mine horizontal, if it turns out to be a load of crap? I know I was safe.

Which console runs cooler?

Honestly your best bet for temps would be in-depth Thermal imaging videos on YouTube.

I can certainly say my Xbox feels cooler in general and that could be for a number of reasons, my PS5 doesn’t exactly get hot and is only noisy when the disc drive spools which isn’t very often, even with a disc based game.

Generally all I care about is hot air being pushed out, which both do fine !
