It looks bloody massive when you actually see it beside someone!

 

[Kerplunk]

It looks even bigger in this vid, or is he just really small

 

[chroniclard]

^^ was gonna say that! Need a bigger TV cabinet..........(If I was getting one)

It looks really heavy.

So to add a new NVME you need to remove the cover and then unscrew a metal plate.

I'd have thought it would have been simpler than that.

I mean, that doesn't sound hard at all.

Beast !

The whole cooling solution looks pretty 'robust'!

It is compared to the Series S/X.

That’s a rather large heat sink !

I'm really impressed with the PS5 internals. The giant fan and heatsink, that heatspreader and pipes that reach around to where the M.2 expansion slot is and the liquid metal. I also love that the side panels are easily removed to allow for customisation and dust removal. What a great piece of content!

Taking the cover off will give me the willies! It looks like it could easily go boing and snap somewhere.

Exactly what I thought, knowing my heavy handedness there are a few clips getting snapped.

Not sure I've ever seen a company do their own console tear down video before, fair play to Sony, looks great

Hopefully iFixit will take a bit longer. Plus show everyone how to put it all back together!

 

[ic1male]

It looks like the M.2 slot could easily accommodate an NVMe SSD that has a thick-ish heatsink built on to it as well.

 

[Mark1989]

Am I only one that thought the fan looked to small space wise and would clogg quickly?

Also yes it's a beast and so is that heatsink ha

Didn't look particularly difficult at all from what was shown, be interesting to see all the third party side covers now we have definite confirmation they are replaceable

 

[ic1male]

So are these four holes in the M.2 bay for if you fit different sizes of cards? And the numbers the length of the cards? So 80mm, 60mm, 42mm and the other one are where your securing screw fits in accordance with length?

Its a relatively huge fan that draws air in from both sides. Unlike most that just draw from one side. All air is sucked in through the front of the console and expelled out the rear.

liquid metal tim!
