[ad_1] Today’s official PlayStation 5 teardown told us a lot about the console, but perhaps the most interesting element was learning just how afraid Sony seems to have been about heat buildup in the new generation, and the lengths it’s gone to correct that. It even explains why PS5 is quite so massive.Clearly as sick of “my PS4 sounds like a jet engine” tweets as the rest of us, Sony appears to have thrown everything it can at the wall to help PS5 run cool and, thus, quietly.
