I don't even care anymore that PS5 is a huge and ugly monster.
It's just so beautiful on the inside <3

 

[Bryank75]

They are doing it them selves ? Doesn’t bode well.

Why? Who has more expertise... Sony, the people who invented portable music and are at the cutting edge of electronics advancements for the last 100 years or a few journalists with no engineering qualifications using MS paint to count pixels?

 

[Papacheeks]

Seems to be plenty of space available height-wise to fit a reasonable sized heatsink, and there is nothing stopping anyone from doing custom heatsinks. Manufacturers will ensure it fits.

Ones with super high profiles wont like corsairs.

Cool, looks very complex and expensive to build. It wouldn’t surprise me if it cost more than the Series X to build one.

Also interesting that the fan is not near the chip, but dat heat sink lol

Fans always get placed on the extremities of the heat pipes rather than directly over the chip.

 

[thejesu]

It's a beautiful Transformer xD

 

[El Pistolero]

Doesn't exude confidence to so tightly control everything.

You are brave and confident enough to write the stupidest things on this board, hands down. In other words, those qualities do not ensure the validity of the output...

 

[truth411]

WOW!!! At the at the size of that Heatsink!

 

[vkbest]

Its a massive heatsink but its not liquid or a vapour chamber................sorry folks i think we are in for a jet engine again

In the subtitles I have read that heatsink has the same performance than vapor chamber. we will see

 

[fran.fernandez]

So much details....

japanese are short and asians eyes give them 100 degree of field of view by default.

that explain the details, they work close to the hardware and can add more stuff.

Also those curves remind me bukake jav idols, we all know japan engineer are very hentai.


Sony, incredible.

 

[Arun1910]

That heat sink and liquid metal are surprising additions but also very welcome. Should definitely keep those fans under check.

 

[GHG]

Custom side panels anyone????

Black ones will be available in no time.

Thank god.

 

[skneogaf]

I want thermals with both sides on, 1 side on and no sides on.

Im considering going to a hardware store to look for a matt black spray too.

 

[mrmeh]

Looks like they were forced to use the liquidmetal compound as normal tim does not have great heat transfer properties on small die sizes. Would have preferred a bigger die (Xsx) and normal compound. Really interesting to see how the next gen consoles perform with such different designs but similar architectural base.

You understand the point of a heatsink right? You don't directly blow air at a cpu to cool it.

It becomes more and more apparent with everything Sony put out that they could not give a flying fuck about appealing to YouTube personalities, influencers or 'experts'. This video is testament to that. The only YouTubers they've let anywhere near the thing are a few Japanese ones without massive followings in the west.

 

[sixamp]

Holy fuck that heat sink is huge

 

[Arun1910]

Your comment doesn't bode well. Do you think Sony and Microsoft are stupider than you or something?

Screenshots I made, hope they help! DForce

....there are so many more appropriate gifs I could have gone with for this, but in celebration of how weird your truly post is, I'm just going to hang it all on cat potato.

 

[FrankWza]

Mate, I've got a TV the size of a house on my wall. My stupid fucking PC tower is enormous. I have an air purifier that's the size of a fat dalek.

Nobody is getting put off by the size of the Ps5.

Definitely not to the point of not buying it because of its size. That’s just bonkers to me.

 

[tillbot8]

Slowly put down the Kool Aid...

I agree with him, could you perhaps give insight on why you don't?

 

[Kdad]

Question as i truly dont know:

With the SSD being soldered on, what happens when it reaches its read/write limit...will you be able to install and run the OS from a secondary SSD?

Or do SSD not suffer from the read/write limits of the past?

 

[Zoro7]

We will see about heat when people start putting M2 SSD and running games from, that's what they do a controlled video on for the moment

Be quiet dude.

 

[Redlancet]

And a sexy one too

 

[FunkMiller]

People don't care about how big something is, just what they can do with it.

*insert dick gag here*

 

[FrankWza]

So will the custom SSD controller still work the same for expansion bay m.2 drives? I can see performance comparison vids in the future testing speed diff.

Probably not. Those drives aren’t available yet. Maybe faster drives down the road. But swapping games between drives should be pretty fast

 

[tillbot8]

First one to say 'bots' gets a boot!

b...b....b..... BASTARDS

 

[Thabass]

So this confirms the sides are fully removable and can be customized. Oh baby.

They have limits but it is like 20-40 years of heavy usage to have a chance of failure.

I would not think it too much

Why so scared? You got your XsX preorder right?

 

[Zathalus]

One thing that I find rather lacking, is you need to remove the plates to install a NVMe. I appreciate its vendor agnostic, but the Microsoft solution is more elegant. Although the Microsoft approach has its own drawbacks, with the stupid pricing on the drive and no market competition to drive those device prices down.

Tradeoffs I guess.

 

[FrankWza]

Agagaga-gag

 

[Tomeru]

I hope that a normal thermal paste is a good replacement (no reasonfor it not to be imo, but Im no expert), because its going to be hard making repairs.

Hey Bryan, you know full well those journalists have earned a doctorate of internet expertise from the university of wikipedia

Yep, i have a enormous dick, i can handle big consoles

 

[NinjaBoiX]

OK, the heatsink is enormous and the fan is pretty meaty too. I’m more convinced that this thing will perform quietly than ever!

Nice work Sony.

 

[existensmaximum]

100% chance we will see custom side plates!

 

[Drunkensamurai]

PS trending on twitter because of the teardown video lol. That's crazy!

 

[Aceofspades]

Huge heat sink, liquid metal cooling and DUST CATCHERS? Sony have done amazing job designing this beast !

 

[Birdo]

 

[Sethbacca]

Here's the same guy with the PS4 from the official PS4 teardown video just for comparison's sake. The dude's just small

:

 

[FrankWza]

I just don’t see the general public being as excited about this as you are tbh... You say it will move a couple of million consoles alone, and that’s crazy to me - there won’t be a single person who buys a PS5 because of this IMO. Not one. Absolutely not a big deal.

I don’t know. Most complaints about ps4 were the noise. This is part of the solution on how the PS5 will run quiet

 

[ThaMonkeyClaw]

I don't think it's there at all?

It was probably something specific for that preview unit, but I have no idea why it would be there.

I think what people are seeing is either the nut from the NVMe cover or from the fan vent cover.

 

[Gen.Grievous]

We will see about heat when people start putting M2 SSD and running games from, that's what they do a controlled video on for the moment

Those big heat sinks on NVME drives are mostly marketing BS imo. Thermal throttling does not really happen in real world scenarios for a console.

 

[Md Ray]

Thats an m2 port?

Thats an m2 port!

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

You understand the point of a heatsink right? You don't directly blow air at a cpu to cool it.

Of course not, but there’s a lot of heat contained within a relatively small volume so it’s going to be interesting how that reacts with the performance characteristics of the chip. We know it down clocks when needed so it will be interesting to see if performance degrades over time when it gets full of dust.

 

[LordOfChaos]

At this timestamp you can see the APU is indeed cooled from both sides with a pretty sizable heatpipe ending in a heatsink, also using the whole metal sheet EDIT: Nope, cooling the VRMs there



All of this is encouraging for long term silence, the liquid metal, the being easy to vacuum, the large and THICC fan.

 

[Portugeezer]

Looks nice inside. Everyone is gonna spray paint side plates.
