About this deal
While there isn’t necessarily a right or wrong way to orient the console, we can say that the PS5 is vertical in almost all of Sony’s marketing materials, which might imply that that’s the way the company intends for people to use it. We can also independently verify that it looks way better when it’s standing vertically. It also charges via the PS5 via USB. While it seems like a good arrangement (less cable clutter), the fans refuse to budge when the console goes into rest mode or is switched off.
One of the biggest decisions you’ll make once you get your PS5 is whether you’d want it standing or if you want it to sit more securely horizontally. While the PS5 is secure laying down on its own, it’s still better to get a horizontal stand to keep it from getting damaged. With that, we’d like to introduce the NexiGo PS5 Horizontal Stand.The cover for the screw hole snaps into place, and it’s very easy to remove it as long as you can get a fingernail under the edge. Start off with PS5 cables that come with 2 cables – the high-speed C-type USB cable for charging and the HDMI to connect with your television to enjoy the stunning graphics of your game. If you’re looking for a new TV, browse through our collection to find the right one for your needs and budget. How about a 4K TV that’ll provide crystal clear graphics for your games? If you want an all-in-one stand that not only holds the PS5 but also other accessories like PSVR, controller, and more, the HAPAW stand makes for a sound investment. To that end, the HAPAW stand also comes with three USB hubs for charging multiple devices simultaneously. Neat, isn’t it?
The QEGMO PS5 Accessories Stand is yet another great choice for a PS5 cooler on our list since it offers many additional functionalities with the system. This PS5 cooler is also powered by 2 suction cooling fans to efficiently exhaust the heat from your system and prevent overheating of the console. Plus, the fans operate at a lower noise level to ensure a silent cooling performance. You basically get two high-quality skates to put your PS5 under a table or TV unit. The stand is ideal if you don’t want to or have space to keep the PS5 vertically. The stand lifts the console to avoid any touch with the surface. What’s more, the Skates Horizontal stand is available for both, the Disc and Digital versions of the console. NexiGo is a PS5 accessory manufacturer we’ve already reviewed. Not too long ago, we looked at their PS5 controller station, and we were pleased with its performance. The NexiGo PS5 Upgraded Vertical Stand offers many of the same features as the Benazcap stand. For one thing, it stores your headset and games as well as your controllers. For another thing, it also supports an external USB power supply for charging while your PS5 is off. There are a couple of minor differences. Instead of a media remote slot, for instance, the row of game slots is extended to 17.The lower price does come at one cost, though: it has only two cooling fans, and only two speed options: high and low. The low speed still helps keep the heat down, but it’s not as efficient as the high speed option. The Yuanhot Vertical Cooling Stand works with both Digital and Disc versions of the PS5, too, and its minimalistic design will appeal to quite a few people who find the larger builds somewhat garish.
This stand is more about organizing your accessories. For one, it has a headphone stand and space to keep the DualSense controllers. What’s more, the sides have wedges to hold game CDs. Now, that’s a plus.You can use the OIVO PS5 Stand as low, medium, or high cooling capacity based on your requirement, offering 3500, 4000, and 4500 RPM fan speeds respectively. Apart from cooling, the OIVO PS5 Stands also introduces a dedicated charging station for your controllers and creates a shelf space for 12 games to add up to your collection. And with its fast charging capacity, the OIVO PS5 Stand can charge your dual sense controllers within 2½ of plugging in. Here’s where it gets a bit difficult. Sony doesn’t like to publish detailed specs about their consoles, such as the temperature rating. As a result, as with earlier Sony consoles, we have to rely on the community for information. Since the PS5 is relatively new, a lot of what we’ve been able to glean is either murky or unconfirmed. We can say for 100 percent certain that the PS5 will not be permanently damaged at a temperature of 90C. Some tests put that number as high as 105C. Then again, these numbers are themselves based on unreliable third-party temperature apps. What we’re saying is that while PS5 overheat reports are exceedingly rare, we can’t give you a definite temperature rating.
