One look at the PS5’s heatsink immediately tells you why the console is as large as it is. As mentioned earlier, recent impressions have suggested that the PS5’s cooling is pretty quiet, so it’s good to know that the fan and the vents and exhaust seem to be working well together. Meanwhile, the entire rear side of the console has an exhaust port. The entire front of the PS5 along the side plates has air vents. And we now know exactly how that works as well. There’s a few other things to the PS5’s cooling system beyond the fan.

To say that the fan is large would be an understatement, but hey- as long as it works. The PS5 has a double-sided air intake fan that’s 45 mm thick and has a 120 mm diameter. Based on recent impressions, it’s looking like that’s paid off, and in the teardown video, we got a look at how it will work as well.

That’s not only because of the extremely loud PS4 and PS4 Pro, but also the fact that reports had been suggesting that Sony had invested quite a bit of money in a cooling solution for their next-gen console. There have been quite a few eyes on Sony and how they will tackle the cooling solution for the PS5. A disclaimer toward the end of the video does say that the dust catchers won’t guarantee that your console will remain clean- but it’ll certainly help keep it clean a little longer than usual. Any dust that is collected in these dust catchers can also be vacuumed out through two other holes. One interesting detail that was shown in the beginning of the teardown video was that the PS5 has two dust catchers on its side. Hopefully, Sony will agree with that notion, because the idea of decking out your PS5 with custom side plates is an exciting one. Now, Sony haven’t really said anything else about this topic, but there’s some very clear and exciting potential here for custom or themed side plates that you could purchase the customize your console down the line. The PS5’s side plates will be detachable, and if what was shown in the teardown video was anything to go by, it’ll be pretty easy to do. This is something that we’ve more or less known about for a while, thanks to a couple of leaks in recent weeks, but now Sony have officially confirmed it. Hopefully, the stand will be sturdy regardless of how it is used. Based on the video, it seems like a rather simple process. To place it horizontally, you can store the screw in the base itself, then align the stand with the marks on the back of the console and clip it on. When holding the console vertically, it will keep it in place with a screw at the bottom. We’ve known for a while that the PS5 will come with a stand that will allow users to place the console both vertically and horizontally, but we now know how the stand will work as well.

Let’s start with the external elements first. In this feature, we’re going to talk about ten of the biggest details we learned from the teardown video. Recently, they released a detailed teardown video, in which they offered an extended look at the PS5’s hardware, its insides, and how various functions works. Sony are kicking the marketing for the PS5 into gear, as they should, with the console’s launch just around the corner now.
