PS5 Liquid Metal cooling explained

Liquid Metal is an alloy made out of metals like gallium and indium. It is in the liquid form at room temperatures, allowing it to have greater thermal conductivity compared to the thermal pastes which are considered an industry standard. In the PS5, the Liquid Metal sits right between the processor and the heatsink, which allows the console to remain cool during extended hours of gameplay processing. Liquid Cooling is rather a niche amid hardware enthusiasts, used in PC-builds to max out its performance. Thus, its implementation in a mainstream console like PS5 is admirable as its installation in a device is not simple. Liquid Metal already comes with a high manufacturing cost which is later burdened with a tricky application process and risk of electrical conduction.

The description of the video suggests that if users take it to themselves to teardown a PS5 console, it voids their manufacturer's guarantee. The description read - '*Do not try this at home. Risk of exposure to laser radiation, electric shock, or other injuries. Disassembling your PS5 console will invalidate your manufacturer’s guarantee' Also read: Does PS5 have Quick Resume?
