Homie drilled a smiley face in his PS5. If that doesn't deserve a like I don't know what does.

[@joekidsti]

You know it! lol. and good looks helping me test it out while I was busy over the holidays. Thing rips!

[@TiagoBlomker]

Excellent, and I thought I could trust the engineers at Sony in Japan, who studied for years the best way to make the console stay cool. Nothing better than drilling the console like this, much smarter.

I would like to update I have now had a Samsung 2tb SATA in a ps4 for over 5yrs and still works fine. The three ps5s with 2tb 980pro SSDs which were installed over a year ago still work perfectly with 0 issues and my friend and I have both used the PS5 in this video with the 2tb 990pro SSD for countless hours of testing and it works amazing so far. I am working on a video showing the difference between the 990pro SSD and the stock ps5 SSD that will be up soon. Also the vents and 990pro do in fact seem to make this PS5 run cooler than the others. Sorry about the wait for a sweet paint job. The weather has not been cooperative but have decided on a design. See you all again soon.... Work hard, Play hard! - #joekidsti 😛

Yeah, you might want to hold that thought. Samsung 970, 980, and 990 Pro SSDs are cropping up with firmware failures. To my knowledge, there is no firmware fix that exists that be performed on a gaming console (XBox might be an exception). Early trends indicate that units from Korea are affected. No firm word on units from Vietnam, yet. If you're going to buy a new Samsung SSD, I would [highly] recommend installing into a PC first, to run the Samsung software to "fix" these SSDs before putting them into your game system. Once they croak, they're done. Some units have lasted only weeks. Lots of videos coming out about this issue. Good luck folks.

Then get an Xbox and when that breaks its really over. lol

I just bought one with a heatsink It was manufactured in November last year. But there’s a firmware update from December. Does it still need an update or should it run just fine without it? I don’t have a way to update it other than sending it in to Samsung, but that would take between 5-10 business days.

[@daggarflynn9637]

@@xanderx9988 - Yours was manufactured [after] the discovery date. Past that, I can't offer any advice without scanning it with the utility. I would [hope] that affected units weren't still shipping in November of 2023 but I couldn't say.

Thanks DxG appreciate it!

[@jmowilk1615]

Does the second screw , the one behind the Drive , have to be moved there ?

[@JayJay-qu4nw]

The darkplates have ventilation over that spot thankfully.

[@joekidsti]

Ive never tested out Darkplates but probably will in the future to see if theres any significant temperature change with the vent on the upper plate.
