It's likewise a offset-time expect at the hardware. And for many it'll be the last time they run across it unless they intend to take the panel apart and tinker with information technology.

Sony shows how easy it is to take off the PS5 side panels in the teardown

If for any reason y'all ever need to accept off the side panels, it doesn't look like it'll be hard to to do.

For some consumers, this will potentially exist the most exciting office of the teardown. Merely because of the possibilities for console customization to make the unit more than unique.

The PS5 has 2 grit catchers, and you lot tin can vacuum them out

Sony didn't simply brand the PS5 more powerful. It designed the console with what appears to exist more than than a few quality of life improvements.

One of those is the presence of ii dust catchers. Later on the fan pulls in air from the exterior, whatever dust collected is filtered into one of the two dust catchers. If you ever need to, you tin can vacuum these out.

It'south also 120mm in diameter and is double-sided, which is why it looks similar there's one fan per side. Because the unmarried fan that keeps the console cool during utilize runs the entire width of the console in its upright position.

Sony used liquid metal for long-term stable cooling

Some other cool innovation (no pun intended) on the PS5 is the console's liquid cooling solution. Sony says it took two years to adopt this engineering for the console. And almost five years to design and develop the panel birthday.

When it comes to cooling, one of the major issues of the PS4 was its lower inability to stay cool during longer play sessions. This acquired the fans to run high. And equally a result the PS4 tin be extremely loud if you lot have ane of the older models.

With the new double-sided intake fan and the liquid cooling tech, the PS5 should be able to keep cool for much longer and run quieter at the same time. Which all-in-all will help translate to ameliorate long-term performance.
