~~Why would you want a vertical stand? They can cause damage to the system.~~
Edit: I was mistaken. Back in 2023 it was said that the heat of the ps5 could cause an issue with the thermal paste and with it being vertical there would be cooling issues. I do not have a place for my ps5 to be vertical so I never kept up with the issue. I went to look for an article about the issue, but all I found today was stuff safe it is safe and was a non issue.
Explain how please. Unless it's blocking vents, I don't see how electrical components (non mechanical) would care about its orientation.
The concern was that it uses a "liquid metal" thermal interface, and that if the system overheated while vertical it could migrate away from the hot zones. This is a potential issue with thermal grizzly's liquid metal product, requiring occasional maintenance. Apparently the ps5 doesn't have that issue.
