November 12, 2020LaunchingIt was decided “PlayStation 5 (PS5)It has been disassembled into pieces on the official PlayStation YouTube channel. It’s a movie where you can see a lot of ingenuity that has never been seen before, like a cooling structure that uses liquid metal and a dust collector that can suck up dust with a vacuum cleaner.

At the beginning of the movie, there is a note that says “Please do not disassemble or modify. It may cause fire, electric shock or injury. If there is evidence of disassembly / modification, repair / replacement may be rejected.” Sample.


That is why Mr. Yasuhiro Otori, who is the section manager of SIE First Division, Design Department, Section 5, must tear the PS5 apart.


The size is 104mm wide x 390mm high x 240mm deep, which is one size larger than that of the PS4. With this increase in size, a dramatic improvement in performance is said to have been achieved in terms of throughput and consistency.


USB Type A port x 1, USB Type C port x 1 on the front


USB Type A x 2 port on the back


LAN port x 1, HDMI port x 1, power port


The part between the main body and the white panel when viewed from the front is an exhaust hole …


Almost the entire rear surface is an exhaust port.


Next, remove the pedestal part to place the PS5.


The pedestal part is fixed with a coin screw.


It looks like this when removed.


The coin screw used to fix the pedestal part can be stored in the next recessed part.


A cover is stored in the part where the coin screw is stored, and it is also possible to put it in the part of the screw hole at the bottom.


After storing the coin screw, you can hide the storage part by turning the pedestal part.


When placing the PS5 in a horizontal position, place the stand as shown below in the part where the symbol used for the PlayStation button called ○ × △ □ is engraved inside the white panel.


Then it can be laid horizontally like this.


The user can remove the white panel that covers the main body. While lifting the corner on the back of the main body, slide it towards the bottom (to the right in the image below).


So you can easily remove it this way.


The silver circular parts are cooling fans that can suck in a large amount of air from both sides.


The two finger-pointed holes are dust catchers and the dust accumulated here can be vacuumed up with a vacuum cleaner. It seems that preparing two dust collectors is a measure against heat. Equipped with a large fan and heat sink, liquid metal is used for TIM, and the heat dissipation everywhere is taken into account, such as expanding the space between parts, so it is believed that the accumulation of dust will be a fatal injury for PS5. It can be done.


Furthermore, it is equipped with a PCIe 4.0 compliant M.2 interface for future expansion storage. On PS4, it was necessary to “replace” the storage, but on PS5, just “expand”.


So, from here to the large-scale PS5 teardown part.Stamp “Invalid at take off”Take off.If you remove this seal, you will be out of the repair warranty, but abroadA movement is underway to permanently recognize the “right to repair” all equipment at the legal level.In view of such circumstances, PlayStation seems to officially show how to tear PS5 apart.


I’ll remove the parts.


Remove the screw …


When you remove the cover …


It is possible to remove a large double-sided suction fan with a diameter of 120mm and a thickness of 45mm.


Then remove the screw …


Remove the case.


This is an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive that is only available on optical drive models.


The drive unit is covered with a sheet metal casing and mounted with a double insulator to reduce driving noise and vibration during disc rotation.


Remove the cable that connects to the Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1 antennas …


Remove the silver panel.


Finally the foundation is revealed.


Remove the screw …


Remove the double cap …


Remove the entire board.


The CPU is AMD’s Ryzen Zen 2 with 8 cores and 16 threads and runs at a maximum of 3.5 GHz.


The GPU is AMD Radeon, which operates at a maximum of 2.23 GHz and reaches 10.3 TFLOPS.


16GB GDDR6 memory is arranged in a circle


In the center is a custom SSD controller and the three surrounding black plates are SSDs (825GB). The loading speed is as fast as 5.5GB per second, which is the raw data transfer rate, which has led to a significant reduction in game loading time. It can be inferred that the reason for not using standards like PCIe is to use a custom driver to increase bandwidth and to terminate it cheaply.


Since the PS5 SoC operates a small die with a very high clock, the heat density of the silicon die becomes very high and the “TIM (TIM) sandwiched between the SoC and the heat sinkThermal interface materialIt seems that it was necessary to significantly improve the performance of the heat conducting material called “)”.


In PS5, TIM uses liquid metal to achieve stable cooling performance over a long period of time. In addition, silicone grease, etc. is used. on self-made PC. It seems that the PS5 development team has been preparing for the adoption of liquid metal for over two years, and has done all possible testing and has reached the adoption of liquid metal.


Then I removed it …


heat dissipator. The heatsink uses a heat pipe like PS3 and PS4, but it is said to have achieved the same performance as the steam chamber by designing the shape and airflow.


350W rated power supply unit


Finally, remove the front of the PS5 and the teardown will be complete.
