I wondered if the talk on the hot external card was the inverse and the hot internal heatsink is actually heating the NVME given its a physical connection. Heat transfer will be bidirectional.

Once the embargo gets lifted I think it's going to be interesting to have gamer's nexus or similar analyze how hot the SoCs can get.
Yea, I would hope that the article of concern is not about the heat exiting through the exhaust because that would be a good thing lol.
I'm banking on the total device being toasty however, there's no doubt in my mind. 300W in such a small form factor. I'm going to want this one outside of my TV cab.
Maybe place it near your feet in the winter time, nice little foot heater...
I'd be curious if there's any difference between vertical and horizontal placement. Blowing the hot air into the ground seems like it would be less efficient somehow, but maybe it does not matter in the grand scheme?
edit:
I might have it backwards afterall. The air flow animation shows it blowing upwards.

To broaden the discussion about thermals and storage, moved most of it into the General Technical Thread for both PS5 and XBSX -- https://forum.beyond3d.com/threads/...-technical-spin-post-gdc-2020-xbsx-ps5.61641/
The replaceable SSD is going to be cooled internally, people won't be able to touch it. Besides PS5 is protected by the white covers (with a space between them and the inside).
It's kind of shocking how uninformed some people are. A piece of electronic heats up when used? Let's call Jonathan Frakes.

Ha ha ha.
A bit dangerous too
I was referring to how much heat the console as a unit will be expelling, the drive being cooled internally means it's heat will leave with the main systems. The combination of APU memory and another high performance (hot) drive running in the system.
Side note I wonder if the clear cartridge casing for the XsX external drive is in part to protect the user from it's heat?
Here's a few test scenarios I'd like to see happen.

So, got a little time, checked the comments and...
I have to agree with one that said we need an Alan Wake Remaster. I'd kill to play Alan Wake in the Control engine with updated models, textures, lighting, etc.

That is FUGLY and if you think the metric for HDR quality is "Does it max out luminance?" then you really, really don't understand what luminance is. Is this better than the god awful "HDR" in RDR2 yes, is it good? No.
Most people leave their TVs on colour modes that look like shit, too blue, too interpolated, etc, etc this just makes perfectly good games look like shit in a different way than before, now randomly white objects will be made of pure plasma so they "pop", ugh.
One of the reasons I couldn't be bothered to post the video was because I would've felt compeled to say he obviously doesn't understand it, or having serious issues explaining to his viewers.
But evil boris definitely knows his stuff, so will be interesting hearing first hand or via a source with more understanding.
What I will say is I was still grateful for the video.

Yeah it seems as if Evil Boris was simply confirming that AutoHDR does a better job of using the whole luminance scale as opposed to being clamped the way some bad implementations are (hi RDR2 again) and your man kind of lost the run of himself. The HDTVtest crew truly know what they're on about so I'd love to see them follow up but at the end of the day I am as fundamentally opposed to the idea of interpolated HDR as I am to colourised Casablance just to lay my cards on the table here
