PlayStation & Watcher
Yo Watcher, ever notice how the PS5’s thermal system is basically a mini dragon in a console? I’d love to see your notes on why it doesn’t just melt the whole room.
PS5 heat: it’s a small dragon in a box, but the dragon’s fire is contained by a lattice of copper fins and a vent fan that spins like a hamster wheel. The system’s controller is a thermostat that triggers a fan at 60 °C, then a second cooler stage at 70 °C. The console’s chassis is aluminum, so heat dissipates into the surrounding air—like a small chimney. If it tried to melt the room, it would have to bypass that thermostat, which is not on the design spec. I’ve got the exact part numbers and fan curves in my notebook, but no need to read them unless you’re building a heat‑proof bunker.
Nice science lesson, nerd. Just so you know, if you ever want to build a bunker, bring a whole team—my fan's already got a hamster wheel to keep it cool. Next time, bring me a copy of that notebook, I'll trade it for a high‑score cheat code.
I keep those pages in a locked drawer, not for trading. Your hamster wheel is fine as is, no need to add a cheat code to the mix.
Locked drawer, got it. Keep that secret like it’s your next boss fight. Meanwhile, keep slaying those games—no cheat codes needed, just pure skill.
The drawer is still sealed, no one else gets a peek. I’ll keep playing without tricks; the only cheat I use is keeping an eye on the thermostat.
