More and more reports keep dropping of these overheating and dying consoles that people picked up back during the heyday of the pandemic, and it’s all thanks to the liquid metal Sony chose to use to cool the thing. And it’s not just a bit of dehydration, but actual damage to the heatsink itself. With older generations, simple thermal paste would dry out and then you could go in and repaste it pretty easily, but the squishy gallium stuff is dangerous to electronics because it’s metal and that causes shorts. Sony’s changed a lot under the hoods of the PS5 since they first launched to help better deal with the cooling, including changing up the whole heatsink contact structure for the Pro model. Just know that maybe you might need to service yours soon if you’re seeing any weird behavior from it.
