Curious if you think vertical vs horizontal positioning would affect the efficacy of the liquid metal cooling the processor or not, is that a dumb question?
cpus that get LM added are generally kept vertical so it's an open question for how long before it pools down. only test i've saw was after 1 year and thermal change was margin of error

i expect an update on that soon as it was a couple of years ago and targeted at enthusiasts looking for short-term gains over long-term longevity. there's just insufficient data over how it stands the test of time though

In the post apocalyptic future of 2024, a new Bronze Age will begin when people realize they can harvest copper from PS5s. A new religion will develop.

Liquid metal TIM is usually a mix of gallium, indium and tin

Bad things happen if you use it with aluminium heatsinks

Hail to the King, baby.

Let's start posting about the extremely cool new trend of the PS5 Liquid Metal Challenge so I can watch videos of dumb influencers drinking the liquid metal out of their PS5s.

Reminds me of the Netflix show Love and Monsters where a bunch of robots gawk at dumb humans that died of a plague.

They come across an Xbox Unlimited and they laugh at one of the bits because "holy poo poo is that your great great great grandma?!"

Love & Robots is like Animatrix level good, IMO. Not every slice is a banger but overall extremely powerful package.

The main issue with Love, Death & Robots (Love and Monsters is that Doctor Who episode with the Peter Kay monster and pavement blowjob) is that Zima Blue is so good it makes all the other episodes look like dogshit in comparison

If it is especially cool it it should mean they can get more power out of the system so maybe they see expensive cooling as cheaper alternative to more compute units etc

:iiam:

I’m still curious what if any PS4 games actually won’t run on the PS5. Just bad games that no one cares about or some amazing game that just inexplicably doesn’t support it, like how Bloodborne never been patched for the PS4 Pro?

Edit: or like how Valkyrie Profile could never work with the PS3‘s emulator.

Strictly speaking, not a teardown since that's a custom unit for demo purposes but it's an old video from March, couple of days before Cerny's PS5 presentation:

From that angle it looks like a heat bucket, but I don't know the first thing about thermal design.

The chonkin fan and heat sink are cool, and there are nice touches in the motherboard design. It's a legit neat bit of construction.

They probably have to reveal their new creator tools since streaming from ps4 is big for them and they want people to upgrade.

The UI is probably just gonna be PS4s but I dunno with everything slightly zoomed out more, maybe it has those sparkles the updated PS3 Slim UI had, I dunno I'm not expecting the world.

I just want to know about BC, like how good is the "boost mode" will it be as good as the Series X's? Also if it'll do 1440p output but that's just a small annoyance if it doesn't.

I'm guessing there will be vented top covers so it cools better when lying down. It pretty clearly is meant to stand up, which sucks for nearly everyone with a sane entertainment system.

My only entertainment system will be the ps5. What will you get instead ?
