ps3 vertical or horizontal plz help

standing it up doesnt cover any vents

either way works, how you stand it is up to the space you have to set it up

i put mine vertical cuz im to scared it would fall over if it was horizontal...fatboy5mama

other way around dude.

Horizontal has been proven to keep the PS3 cooler, which is all the information I need. Longer game play for a wider space, I'm down with that.-shmelo-

has it realy been proven?

can i get a link to this research that proves this?

This is what I think. Ur PS3 is a power plant. And all power Plants Stacks are all vertical right. I have had only had one freeze up on me once. Verticle is better.

2.it does not have smoke coming out of it.

3. Plant Stacks are vertical but the plant itself...is not

I don't have a link, but remember reading something about this as well. It has to do with the shape. When it's on it's side, the heat rises into the domed top, and then is blown out the side vents. When it's vertical, the heat rises, and is blown out the top, but since the heat is rising through the center of the console (where the boards and chips are, it runs hotter than horizontal, where the heat is just hanging out in the empty top area. Something like that anyway. I read it, it made sense to me, so I didn't question it.

lay it flat (horizontal).

theres research taht more heat accumilates if you put it vertical, where as the overal heat is spread out and "low" if its laying flat.

I keep mine floating in mid airthe4got10one

Vertical

-Heat rises + Ventontop = cooler PS3

I have the superslim, and by itself it would be flimsy to have it vertical (unlike the "Fat" and older slim) so I also got the optional stand:

Basically it's a matter of choice and requirements, and particularly the place you'll set it up. If space is tight, you might want to set it vertical.

Lay it down.

I just realized this thread was started 5 years ago lolProjectPat187

It doesn't matter, you clowns. There is less than 1 degrees Celsius in difference.
