morning we talked about the playstation 5 revision teardown in newsway then i was a bit surprised people seemed really interested in this like online there's a lot of conversation around what essentially boils down to a change with the heatsink on the ps5 however there appear to still be some concerns online around how this system is going to hold up in the long run and i figured you know what here on the plus channel we'll go ahead take a look at some of the images and get a bit more in depth than what i was able to in newswave this morning guys if you enjoy these videos make sure that like button helps out a ton and if you're new here to the spawn wave plus channel make sure you subscribe down below so first let's go ahead we'll head over here to a couple of images that i have some from austin evans video and then a few others of the motherboard in the ps5 and some questions i have a bit further than what was shown in the video so first off we do have both ps5 versions really laid out here on the table in austin's video with the older one here on the left side and then we have the newer revision here on the right side and i mean the difference is clear like immediately with the heatsink we can see the large kind of copper plating all the way around here has been eliminated for the newer heatsink which has a smaller kind of aluminum plating that just goes around where the chip is the chip on the ps5 is like right here basically so on both of them we can see there is a large overhang of the heatsink that leads up and out here with the fan that sits right here pulling air down and through and then out the back of the system and that's mostly why sony shaped the ps5 in the way they did because they didn't want anything being set kind of on top it has that kind of collared look at the front that way it wasn't easy to block essentially the intake that would have to be pulling air in pretty consistently to cool this very large heat sink now i also noticed that there is a difference when it comes to the amount of heat pipes coming off the center where the die for that apu would be here we see we have four pipes and we actually have ones that are a bit longer running up the top of a longer part of the heatsink here seems to be more a repositioning for this part rather than a complete reduction when it comes to kind of the surface area of this heatsink with the amount of fins because otherwise it would have kind of been coming out underneath and then over the top here i think the biggest part that they really changed was the amount of copper material i guess that they were using which i'll admit when i took it apart and i looked at it it felt like they kind of went a bit overboard on it which i mean it's not a big deal if they can afford to do it yeah go overboard on the thing that's cooling the most vital part of the system which is your cpu gpu combo the chip where everything starts and everything comes down to yeah you should probably be cooling that ship the most but if they realized wait a minute we can save money on that costly part in the system and get the same results with the new revision and then become profitable in the system you kind of expect a business to do that however the concern comes down to it is this at the expense of the consumer will they end up with a product that will not hold up as well in the long run and that's still a question we have here because the thing with austin's video is he got to this point and for me it's like you get here you keep going because there are still some questions i have when it comes to this uh this newer playstation 5 revision see the issue i had with the ps5 really had nothing to do with this part like the heatsink it was fine i didn't have any issues even when i measured the temperatures of it around that part it actually had to do more so with the opposite side this had to do with the ram chips on the side here because it's actually cooled kind of against the back plate and on that side there's really no great way for it to be cooled effectively and that's why we're seeing some very high temperatures uh gamers nexus did an entire uh breakdown of temperatures they found where they probed all over the system i did a couple of temperature probes but i mean they went they went like crazy with it so they found high temperatures i found higher temperatures too but not as high as theirs however there were there were some concerns around this back part here where we have all of the ram there's no ram around the the cpu or the gpu on the opposite side that's just completely cooled with liquid metal to that heatsink in fact if you look at really the underside part if you have the board removed we can see the only thing that's really making contact here is the chip like that's what the heatsink is there for all this overhang is mostly just more surface area attempting to cool the chip itself we do have some kind of some conductive pads here which are for a couple of different things for example these uh three spots here is for the ssd controller and the chips and then we also have some here for more or less power regulators and other parts that are running from the power supply so my question then would be it did sony do anything to alleviate some of the concerns that we've had with the ram chips did they work something in on the opposite side away from that heat sink that maybe worked to pull more heat off of the ram because if they were able to do that and really get it out the back of the system through that exhaust you may see really higher temperatures because they're cooling it more effectively but if they are not doing that and they have now shrunk in the heatsink on the opposite side where that uh the gpu is i would actually start to have more concerns around the ram on the back so that's kind of what i would like to see if austin is able to tear it back down and get to this point and kind of take a look and compare on that side i think it'd be really interesting to see and i say that because i did notice some differences with the cages here now we do have two pieces of metal that screw together around the board and sony will use that to their advantage to cool different chips against that metal chips that necessarily won't overheat the cage itself like the the gpu would if they didn't have that heatsink there and they were trying to use the cage that gpu would be in trouble so it makes sense they would have to attach this massive heatsink to it and i mean either one is massive like even this newer one that people are like look how small that heatsink is that's still a really big heatsink uh from what i remember with consoles i mean that's i think that's the largest heatsink i've still seen in a system but if you look at the cages here they have changed and it's it's subtle changes but that's all that would really be required for the playstation 5 to cool the ram effectively because if you open it up you might have maybe a different copper pipe inside running around it and maybe they realize about we need thicker metal here we just need better cooling in general for the ram they don't necessarily need to put a whole heatsink on the back they just have to have more attention to it with surface area and ways to extract that heat like down here we can see we have like a square here that's different uh same thing next to it here that one is missing that and even this has changed a little bit it's almost like this ramp look here and those aren't big differences but my point is they've clearly changed some things up here when it comes to the metal cage on this side so i'd be curious if they made any changes around the ram on the opposite side also the way i think sony has figured this out and realized they don't need that larger heatsink to achieve the same results is because of the fan which was pointed out here is different and we've noticed for a little while now that there were two different fans being used in the ps5 and it's kind of like the ps5 lottery which fan you would get there's one that appears to be preferred but either will still work i just i think one is quieter and is able to move air more effectively and that's the fan that's in this newer ps5 it's the one on the right here and it has 17 blades around the around the outside and it does these fins run all the way to the center whereas this one here we can see the fin kind of stops and then we have this gap between the center part and the and the blade itself and this one like i said at 17 this one has 23. so most likely we're getting a louder fan noise on the older ps5 just because it has to spin faster to move the same amount of error that the one on the right here with 17 blades moves probably at a slower rpm and you also have to remember that sony is able to update the fan curve in the playstation 5 through firmware updates and probably through a lot of their internal testing after the system came out because remember the r d departments they don't stop once the playstation or the switch or the xbox come out they continue to work towards being able to use different materials or source different parts to achieve the same thing because they're always working in a field that is constantly changing when it comes to parts that are available so they have to be able to adapt very quickly with production lines constantly moving to pump out millions and millions of systems most likely sony realized wow we could use this fan which i have a feeling by the way the fan here on the right with 17 blades probably costs sony less money to make as well i don't think it's like a ton or anything but even if you could save 20 or 30 cents on a part across the the course of tens of millions of systems that does add up pretty quickly but my point is they are continuing to r d after the playstation 5 comes out and most likely they found okay if we pair this 17 blade fan with a certain fan curve we're able to kind of remove some of the more costly parts like the larger copper plate in this heatsink shrink it down a bit lighten the system save us money which in turn would allow them to create more ps5s you know i'd actually be curious to see what the differences in temperature and fan noise would be if we use this 17 blade fan versus this 23 blade fan in one of the older ps5s with the very large heatsink maybe i'll look into getting both of these fans together for my ps5 that's just going through ridiculous amounts of abuse at this point and just run a test and see if they can produce better temperatures with this 17 blade fan so the way i'm kind of looking at this now is we just need more information around this newer playstation 5 revision we need more of a teardown even so we can see the board versus i guess the metal cage and the heatsink and even that ram on the opposite side and it would be cool to see internal temperatures like i said with these two different fans and and there's a lot of spots that you can check temperatures with to see if we have improvements or if it has actually gotten worse and i don't know if temperature through a phone of just the exhaust is a great i guess thing to draw conclusions from when there are so many other variables in play here but let me know what you guys think about all this down below thank you so much for watching and i'll see you next time [Music] you<br><!-- wp:image {"id":1776,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} -->rn<figure class="wp-block-image
