Best for you to get a more modern receiver.

If you absolutely do not want, then your best bet is to get a SHARC - https://www.amazon.com/Thenaudio-SHARC-Conv...uct_top?ie=UTF8

The SHARC would allow for you to split the audio back to optical and still maintain video output for HDMI 2.1 compliance with your TV.
It is however a bit pricey and is often out of stock due to its popularity.

Not surprising. Been an issue that was spotted when Sony first release their own teardown video. But blind fanboys would just say "how do you know?".

Lol.

EDIT - that said, a GDDR6's Tjunction Max is 100c and its recommended operating temp is 0-95c. Sony is theoretically still within spec, but what Steve couldn't tell is that if the memory on the surface of the chip is hitting that 100c limit or not.

So what will happen? Well, in the short term - nothing.
Long term? It has been proven in the PC side that over the last decade that high temperatures in memory can lead to degradation. Memory could start producing errors and glitches, the common one being broken pixels like green lines in place of an object. But long term degradation will also lead to more frequent throttling of the memory clockspeeds, which would lead to reduced performance obviously.

Keep in mind that memory can degrade at a much lower temperature too, which is what the PC side has observed. The PS5 running in the 90s is quite extreme and don't be surprised you see plenty of memory related issues in a year from now.

To add to your question:

No, the console won't sound as loud as it did with the PS4 and PS4 Pro. The fan is locked to an RPM range, well below of what it can achieve. But I do not think that even if Sony launches a firmware to push the fan to max speed (which trust me would sound louder than both the PS4 and Pro combined), it'd do very much to lower the temps of the memory. The crux of the issue is that the memory has no surface area to dissipate its temperatures to.

It doesn't matter if there's bigger thermal pads for the memory if there is no heatsink area for the chips to dissipate heat to, which is the case currently. It would require an entirely revised heatsink solution and that simply isn't possible in the near future considering they can't even keep up with supply right now.

Both.


You'll have to find a way to accept a 55" screen 3ft from your eyes. If you can, then sure the x90H is suitable as a monitor.

Soundbars are trash. End of story.

If it's 6ft away, that no longer is a monitor lol?

It's simply business, nothing personal.

History and data has shown that Singaporeans are more likely to adopt new technology than Malaysians. Mind I remind you guys that everyone here on this thread is but a speck of a minority that is vocal about the PS5.

Also unfortunately for Malaysians, the average Singaporean has higher buying power thus they are also more likely to pick up more software (games) than the average Malaysian gamer. It would make sense for SIE to concentrate on the market with the biggest sale potential first then instead of spreading their profits thin throughout every country.

Please don't start bullshit rumors about the PS5 "lite".

It's not even a rumor. It's some bullshit a no name thought of when he was taking a shit in the morning.

Bad apples exists in every electronic product. That's just the nature of how it is.

What people have to understand is why the problems are being caused and how it is happening. I keep posting flaws about the PS5 because people should understand the system they own, even if playing games is all that matters on it. That doesn't mean you should shy away from the console if it interests you, nothing lasts forever anyways.

FB posts are just idiots talking shit.

I am chill, very chill. Why do you think I'm not?

Haiyo. PSN launch 13 years liao, people still asking if US PSN can work in Msia.

You can buy the PS+ code from cdkeys (or anywhere else) and then redeem the code on your US PSN account, which can be accessed anywhere in the world including, yes - MALAYSIA.

This has been explained a billion times.

It's time people learn the hard way.

It used to be that MY PSN gets trash monthly games and the sales were a joke - almost like Sony was having a laughing bet each month seeing how many idiots actually buy games off their store. This was during the PS3 and early PS4 days.

They're about equal now.

Theoretically it's cheaper to buy PS4 Miles Morales on sale, get the free upgrade then pay $20 for the Remastered Spider-Man.

Just sayin'.

Won't happen.

Don't know which planet you get a DS4 v2 with more powerful battery. But on this Earth, both v1 and v2 DS4 uses the same battery. Only difference is the connector.

That's because your older DS4's battery doesn't hold the same charge anymore. That's logic, not bullshit.

The vibration motors uses a different design, is more efficient hence lower power usage. Sony also introduced the feature to reduce battery usage by lowering brightness of the light bar. The v2 also reduced the polling rate between controller and console, again reducing battery usage.
You are mistaken over your v1 DS4 when it was new vs the v2 DS4. You don't have a time comparison between them both side by side when both are new, so yes - it's logic.


Here, do a test since you are so confident that both v1 and v2 DS4 uses different battery, if you can point out which one is v1 and v2 battery in the picture below correctly, I buy you a new DualSense. If you guess wrong, you buy me one.



How bout it? Berani take the challenge?

The battery is not better, the components equipped to use the same battery is more efficient. That's the difference in battery life.
