For the people wondering how you clean the heat sink: There are two ports in the case that you just put a vacuum nozzle up to to clear the heat sink. So you remove the fan, clean what you can from there, and then use a vacuum nozzle at the two ports. Sony doesn't expect you to take the whole thing apart just to clean it out.

[@arnehagenaars1896]

@@TheJadeFist not really the answer am looking for, got to be more specific, as the fan is taking air in from the side, just like is it a centrifugal force? with a centrifugal direction?. only then is the question where that direction is going ?and whether that direction is obstructed., because all this determines if the cooling will be sufficient, or it might be sufficient, but it could be far more better if it was build differently. And Better cooling means better performance. and how does the air flow in the box? the box has a curvature inside. the most important thing is how the air flow goes through the heatsink, is there counter flow or co-current?

@@austinfondren2590 the actual silicon chip itself is called a die. With the right equipment and skill it's possible to get an image of the actual integrated circuit etched into the die, showing structures like CPU and GPU cores, caches and the like. That's typically referred to as a "die shot".

[@faustianblur1798]

@Apple it does a few small background tasks and has its own 256MB of DDR3 RAM. It was supposed to handle downloads while the console was in rest mode so the main APU could power down. It turned out not to be powerful enough though, so the main APU still remains powered.

That foam is brilliant. I put lots of liquid metal on my chips but I just made the wells out of cheap thermal paste.

It's been said a lot on this channel that the disc drive was an afterthought and added on after but that seems to fly in the face of common sense and efficient console production, where if you're making two versions of a console you'd want to make them as similar as possible for cost and efficiency. If the only thing different between the two versions is the disc drive, it would be a huge waste to not use the same motherboard and general internal construction, and then just allow the disc drive to be mounted onto the main unit. Just my thoughts.

[@realtimberstalker]

@@TheKogunEnjou The videos they made aren’t really that good. They were measuring the outside of the console, rather than the inside, which isn’t very accurate, especially in the case of the PS5, where the panels are separate from the console.

[@kastaway-mtx]

@@realtimberstalker I think they measured the Xbox the same way, you can compare it like that.

[@realtimberstalker]

@@kastaway-mtx It’s not a good comparison. The exhaust vents were ok but they should have at least taken off the Ps5 side panels. That would provide a better comparison. Hell, they should’ve just opened the back of the Xbox and seen the temps of the actual internals.

My understanding is that they can't deny you a repair on a broken warantee sticker, but it's fine to have one so they know if you've been poking around, to better help them diagnose what might have failed, and if you might have broken anything.

[@blazingmatty123]

Part of the reason why they use so much liquid metal is that the gallium in the LM can and will leech into the the copper, usually in the PC world you'd put on the standard amount and you'd then have to go top it off after about 6 months because enough of the gallium would have been leeched into the copper to actually cause issues, so being that this is a retail product and more specifically, something sold to people that may not necessarily be handy with a screwdriver or particularly techy, it's better to overprovision than it is to underprovision it like that
