On the 7th, the PlayStation 5 (PS5) disassembled video was released on the PlayStation Japan YouTube channel.
The first thing that stands out is the easy access to the interior. The bracket attaches to the main body with a single coin screw and can be positioned vertically or horizontally by replacing it. By the way, I don’t use screws when I place it horizontally, but the bracket has holes to store the screws.
As explained that the white panels on both sides of the main body can be removed by the customer, internal user access is assumed, and can be removed by simply lifting and sliding the end without using a controller.
When you remove the panel, you can see two holes called dust collectors on the right side. You can easily suck up the dust that has accumulated inside by applying a vacuum to this area and vacuuming it up.
Also, if you unscrew the metal cover on the same side, a PCI Express 4 socket will appear for expansion and you can add more SSDs. The PS4 has a 2.5-inch SATA slot, which was easy to access, but the PS5 has the idea of expanding the internal storage by expanding it rather than replacing it.
Up to this point, user access is assumed, but for further disassembly, it is necessary to remove the protective seal from the screw hole, and in principle, further disassembly by the user is prohibited. Repair / replacement can be rejected if there is evidence of disassembly / modification.
On the other hand, in 2018, in the United States, a correction recommendation was made to six major companies, including automobiles, mobile terminals, gaming machine manufacturers, etc., saying that the provision of the product warranty range by the “Opening prevention seal” is illegal and users are granted the right to disassemble (Federal Trade Commission, “Invalidation of the seal of guarantee when opened” is illegal and see correction recommendation for 6 major companies).
The cooling fan uses an intake fan with a diameter of 120mm and a thickness of 45mm. It is installed so that it penetrates inside the main body, and takes air from both sides (when installed vertically) at the front of the main body and expels it to the rear.
The UHD BD covered with a large sheet metal box can be seen after removing the cover. Inside, it is mounted with a double insulator to reduce driving noise and vibration when the disc rotates.
The motherboard looks great to the familiar eye from modern mobile laptops and the like. However, there are few pieces mounted on the board, and although it is tidy it gives the impression of being empty.
As previously reported, the SoC uses a custom chip with an integrated AMD CPU core and a GPU core. The “SONY INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT” stamp can be seen on the metal plate around the SoC.
The heat density of the SoC is very high, and it was also revealed that liquid metal was used for the TIM to efficiently transfer heat to the heat sink. It took two years to prepare for this liquid metal and all kinds of tests were conducted to achieve stable cooling performance over a long period of time. The heatsink is large, and the apparent size appears larger than the gaming computer’s CPU and GPU.
As for memory, GDDR6 16GB is attached directly to the back of the board. The 825GB SSD also mounts directly on board and its controller is a custom product that achieves high bandwidth.
