Ask GN 115: Isn't Sony Infallible? PlayStation 5 Thermal Mods? Thermal Pads?

We're taking questions from our PlayStation 5 thermal benchmark coverage for this Ask GN segment, trying to provide some insight to thermal testing for outsiders from our videos.

This content piece hopes to answer some of the most common questions from the PlayStation 5 thermal, power, and noise tests. We reached a wider audience than usual with it, so wanted to help newcomers get a closer look at how we do things and what the results mean.

GN is working with Eden Reforestation Projects once again to plant 10 trees per GN store item sold until December 18, 2020. This applies to multi-item orders (as a multiplier) and to back ordered items. You can grab mouse mats, modmats, bar runners and glasses, shirts, and more here and contribute to the cause: https://store.gamersnexus.net/
