A lot of PS5 gamers put the console in a vertical position to save space. But this will ruin your console in the long run.
Placing your PS5 vertically will result in the liquid metal used to cool the AMD APU to spill. This will damage the APU and other components inside the console. It can also fry your console as the liquid metal can cause a short circuit.
