18:47 It's worth noting that the PS3 had it's first node shrink from 90nm to 65nm during the FAT model then the 65nm to 40nm happened within the slim's cycle, so a node shrink never happened in the transition from Fat->Slim or Slim->Super Slim and the PS2 had multiple node shrinks in it's FAT model phase as well.

[@reviewforthetube6485]

Exactly kind of like what happened this time.

[@meatbunftw]

@@reviewforthetube6485 yup, just making a note of it because they (LTT or Linus himself, in this case) say it like a node shrink was SUPPOSED to happen in the transition to the slim when that's never been the case historically.

[@mrbrandonmartin388]

While the removable disc drive might over complicate the product line, it's cool that years down the line, there will be plenty of easily replaceable, first-party OEM parts if the disc drives start failing. You just buy a new drive and pop it in. No screws, no ribbon cables. Pretty neat. *Edit* I know that the drive requires internet connection. My hope is that Sony uses software patches to allow people to replace them. The online connectivity is a piracy measure that Sony had to implement because of regulations. Every console made after 2005 will eventually be e-waste when they shut down their servers, but it will be a long time before the PS5 reaches that point.

[@lady.foxpoint]

if they're new, yeah but i think if you want to buy used it wouldn't work right? cause you have to register to your ps5 and all and i say buy used because sony won't be making these forever and you might want to fix your ps5 at a time where it's either too expensive to buy new or literally impossible

[@Liquidmetal14]

I must say that Linus nailed it when he was talking about the power and reset for eject button being nearby each other. I can't tell you how many times I've accidentally ejected to this or accidentally put it in sleep mode. This is a major big welcome in my opinion that will probably get overlooked, but I'm glad that line is called it out. And I must say that overall the system looks a little bit more appealing to me being smaller. I'm probably going to wait off on the pro model, assuming that happens. But it's hard to argue that they made the right decisions when it comes to the design on this thing.

I built my first PC in 2020 and it was only then that I realised how stable consoles are with relatively limited hardware. The fact you can boot up RDR2 or GOW on a PS4 and never once worry about frame rate (even if it is capped at 30) is bloody impressive.

[@RR-ho3td]

I don't get it. Sorry. You can framelock your PC to 30 (I dunno why you would) and expect a far more stable experience provided that the games on the console and the PC are both purchased and not cracked. I never noticed a drop below mid 60s even with everything maxed out.

[@jhamPlays]

@@RR-ho3td More that when you look at the objective specs of a basic gaming PC and the console hardware, it's amazing they can run modren games at all never mind how stable they are.

[@maicon9]

It's because it uses fake frames for higher fps. It's not powerful enough to do more than 30fps at native. It's well optimized because it should be it's only one hardware that the developers need to worry about lol. But I personally can never go back to 30 frames. That shit give me headaches

[@jakedaynesLTT]

It was actually a pretty straightforward teardown - I'd rate it 6.5/10 for reparability. The screw under the sticker was annoying, but the heat gun pulled it off really easily. The different screw sizes/pitches was also a bit annoying, but a magnetic workspace pad kept track of them fine.

[@mygamingtimdencies7098]

[@matsubento]

[@chrismorrison5301]

It's understandable that the chip didn't shrink anymore, unlike the last time a slim model came out there are many more companies buying up all the latest processing nodes. It's unfortunate but seems to be where we are heading.

[@theemperorofmankind3739]

It makes sense from a margins perspective. Why go through the hassle of porting the design to a better process node when the current one is fine and costs less per chip.

[@5yotub]

The acoustic measurements on the plane were nice (I would recommend a tinnier angular spacing to make the graph less choppy). However, because sound can be emitted in all directions, this result doesn't mean that the total acoustic energy radiated by both devices is the same. Measuring total acoustic power will give you that information. Is a more tedious measurement to do, but it does not require an acoustic chamber 🙌🏻

[@cadenchurchill4296]

I really appreciate that they made the console smaller, although for my setup it doesn't really make a difference. Had no difficulty adding the PS5 to my desk and I love the look with a matte black dbrand skin in the middle and the red face plates.

Good thing that the mainboard and heatshield and sinks dont have to be separeted like ever... the liquid metal makes it perform good over time and dust only accumulates outside on the fins this is good for maintenence imo

[@kaseysvideos]

Unfortunately it looks like they're still going to need regular maintenance, and often. I kind of wish Sony inferred with their designs that you should lay the console down flat. At least once a week I have to service a PS5 due to overheating, most of the time the top half (area that has less conductive material and more heat when standing upright) of the chip is covered in oxidation and is effectively repelling all that liquid metal off of the mating surface.

[@flimermithrandir]

@@kaseysvideos Also, while not an Issue for now, the other Thermal Pads (or whatever its called) for VRAM, NAND... other Chips might dry out over Time as well. I dont know exactly how long this will take and i assume Sony uses (very) good Components there to counter Issues but i also assume if you use your PS5 daily over longer Times when you are also living in a hot Area... this will make Issues at some Time in the Future regardless. It would be nice if you could open and maintain it more easily imo. It seems also overkill that they use SO many Screws. But i am no Expert.

@@Shadow__133 Easy now. They arent made worse than the RTX 2070 Super i just replaced the Thermalpaste the other Day (... like half a Year ago) so it doesnt overheat anymore and Blackscreens at 93 Degrees... So i dont know about you and your PC never needing to maintain anything... Point is a Console is just different than a PC while you might just change the Thermalpast easy on the CPU or change the GPU anyways and never have that Issue to begin with (the other Guy buying it might run into Problems though). Anyways, the Point is that a Console is used Way longer. Maybe even in 30 Years, who knows, and it would be nice to not have to unscrew 234 Screws just to get to the Thermalpads. That said i dont think the PS5 is constructed in a very good Way either, no.

6:00 Regarding the USB ports, Sony's own site says the original/launch PS5 has three 10Gbps ports (1x USB-C on the front and 2x USB-A on the back) and the front USB-A port is "High Speed" USB (they don't specify the speed but "High Speed" refers to USB 2 or 480Mbps) and not two 5Gbps and two 10Gbps as mentioned in the video. The only change the Slim brings in regards to the USB ports is the front USB ports are now both USB-C with one being a 10Gbps port and the other a "High Speed" port according to Sony. This means that the USB ports are all the same speed as the original PS5 but the only difference is the USB-A port on the front has been replaced by a USB-C port at the same speed.

pretty sure those weight difference percentages are based on whether you have the disc drive or not. also games have always kept the power usage high when minimised (god of war on ps4 was crazy) but as soon as you open a media streaming app or put console to sleep it will shift the game into a suspended state, so closing your games isn’t a must as stated

​@@AndrewPL5 Linus did say that it was sent by Dbrand, not Sony!

Linus getting excited about where the disc eject button is located is so funny to me

[@animefanrk2k]

Glad to see a full teardown of the PS5 slim. I have no plans on purchasing one anytime in the near future, but it's good to know it'll be the go-to if I gift a PS5 to a friend and/or family member who wants one the future. I do wish the included disk drive came with both the cover to run it with and w/o the disk drive (because it makes no sense to me to buy the disk drive-less version, only to buy one later), but I'm sure a company like Dbrand will just give you the option via their darkplates in the future anyway to just buy just that one plate separately.

It’s impressive the slim accomplishes the same as the OG all with a smaller form factor.

The thumbnail for the video. I see the playstation box but then I see him holdiig something. At first glance it didn't look like anything but something you would think of the old Zelda games. Link to the past. Like he was holding a map.. All the green and the brown looked like cliffs or rock faces and the little attachment looked like buildings. A top view of game. Don't it though?

18:30 The large jaws of the caliper is used for outside measurements, and the pointy jaws on the opposite side are used for inside measurements. And the rod that sticks out the end of the caliper is used for depth measurement.

[@bastienx8]

Since the chip sits on top of the pcb he's using the correct jaws. There is a small space between the foam and the actual chip.

[@bgezal]

@@bastienx8 Ok fair he's not measuring the inside of the black collar as I wrongly thought of. But the large jaws are still too big to reach the IHS edges so he's eyeballing it, and in that case using the pointy jaws would be a better choice.

[@bastienx8]

@@bgezal on some calipers the large jaws also ends with a small point, but I don't know if theirs has this

[@bgezal]

@@bastienx8 Sure. My intention was to teach about the multiple uses of the caliper, for those that didn't already know.

[@bastienx8]

@@bgezal Yes that's great. The next thing would be to learn how to read the decimals on a non-electronic caliper, I tend to prefer these over the electronic variant because they never run out of battery

late night video FOR THE WIN!

[@PloopChute]

Im really curious to see if the redesign of both the console itself and the power supply do anything to relieve the overheating problem. The amount of people who ended up with the "my console just shuts itself off with no warning" problem because of clugged PSU vents is ridiculous. Something that should absolutely be seen as a pretty major design flaw. It should've gotten some attention in the redesign.

[@gpressutto5]

It comes with the game. The code you shared is for the MW3 full game + operator pack.

[@HotSizzleTV_]

Now this is the tear down i been waiting for.

[@robertt9342]

Did you test the suspension wattage over time? I would assume that it wouldn’t fully suspend for a quick out and in action by the user. Would the power consumption return to 50 watts after like 10 minutes?

[@imunoriginal1859]

I love how he just forgot about the lil clear legs for horizontal

[@hakimehamdouchi7468]

As a gaming laptop enthusiast, that's Impressive craftsmanship.

[@Face_RC]

It was definitely shrunk somewhat, but there is no way the total volume shrink percent is anywhere remotely close to the shrink Sony managed with either the PS2 Slim or the PS3 Slim. Those were both massive reductions in size and volume compared to their full fat launch models. You could probably stack three PS2 Slims on top of each other and it would be thinner than the launch model.

[@daxtron2]

Yeah I think a lot of that comes down to the advances made during those time periods in component sizes. The gains are a lot more incremental when it comes to physical size these days it seems.

[@thetrilltroll7633]

There's a reason why Sony themselves aren't calling it a "slim"

[@qapncrunch]

You forget that there was a PS2 chipset included inside the original PS3 for backwards compatibility. Remove that and supporting hardware and there's a lot of space to make it smaller

[@landrybt]

The PS5 produces much more heat due to the components inside. It could not be engineered the same way as the PS2 Slim lmao.

[@ConservativeJuggaloPodcast]

It's almost half the size of what we have now.....

[@roasty80]

thanks for sharing the information.shame the disc version doesnt include the plate for the digital configuration. i still want to know how hot this console gets under load

[@withouttdoug]

beautiful video

[@gamerone7217]

Nice teardwon 👍

[@mniakan754]

Wish D-brand would make some plate covers that would give the console more symmetrical and use the extras space between the console itself and the covers for more ventilation (also I think with a more symmetrical plates the ps5 can look a lot better)

[@Joe-yz7qx]

Yeah I was thinking like a "throwback jersey" type of thing. Make it look like a PS2. #MakePS5RectangleAgain.

[@stefanlopez1835]

I got the original version right now and I actually really like the style. It stands out and I like it.

[@rerite-oy4xu]

how much did it cost

[@kbuxtonator5052]

Couldn’t agree more. I got my digital at launch (no regrets as I don’t miss the disk drive at all) and have enjoyed it since. And £350 was an absolute bargain price then and still is. The value for money on consoles is unrivalled

[@mathias4514]

how the hell did u get it that cheap? @@kbuxtonator5052

Those little plastic triangle thingies are the included stand. goes in slots on the side, it lays flat.

The half glossy look is really cool, because its just like how the playstation 2 slim 9000 model (the one with the internal power supply) was half glossy.

[@psyfertech]

i dont even have a ps5 but i bought the new controller for my pc and i thought something was wrong with it when i felt the forced feedback through the triggers while playing death stranding, im amazed at the vibration generators i guess you would call them they have a huge frequency range, came a long way since the 2 motors with a larg and small spinning weight on the end lol

The slim digital has the ability to add a disc drive in the future. wondering if that means i could remove the disc tray from a non digital slim, and turn it into a digital, then get a flat face plate for where the disc tray was. reattach the disc tray if i want to play a game

[@Neji.Hyuuga]

11:44- "...these results are accurate but not necessarily precise." :)))

[@dannyblaze3737]

Yo, this new router looks sick!

[@WayStedYou]

19:17 probably due to shortages and price at the time 5nm wouldnt be any cheaper for them to make, we would only get power savings as actual users, I wouldn't be shocked to see a 5nm revision of this in another year or so like they did with the base PS5 getting two revisions since launch to reduce the heatsink and then the 6nm+further heatshrink reduction once price comes down more.

[@companyoflosers]

nah if we get another revision, itll be an ACTUAL slim model. Note how Sony doesnt explicitly brand this with the word "slim". It's only replacing the old fat ps5 once supplies run out. It's the new standard.

[@gamingmarcus]

They have no reason to update performance now as they want to sell you the Pro models later.

[@Helderjfl]

​@@companyoflosersthey never branded any playstation as slim.

[@crazybeatrice4555]

They actually did the 6nm shrink from 7nm a while back because it was cheaper to switch then it was to keep on 7nm

[@xPremiumRabbitx]

I feel like they wouldn't changed it into 5nm chip because the 6nm chip was originally from the Slim but they tried it to the Ps5 which makes the 1200 series one

[@GuyX2013]

Thank God for Dbrand is all I can say. That'll be a day 1 mod on my slim .

you need to make a bit kit to accompany your driver so you dont need a fix it kit - then make your back pack with spaces for the driver and the bit kit
