I thought about the liquid metal for a while, when they started to sell the vertical stance separately they must have enough data to conclude that placing the ps5 vertically can cause troubles because of the liquid metal. So, in order to deter such practice(without saying they messed up) they started to sell the accessory apart.

I’ve seen a good amount of tear down videos for different devices, and I’ve heard plenty of times to the effect of but be aware, removing this sticker will void your warranty! And to my memory this is the first I’ve heard that doesn’t actually apply in the US

7: 25 That’s wrong - it’s GDDR6, not DDR6. GDDR has higher bandwidth but higher latency than DDR. The specifications for DDR6 haven’t been officially confirmed by JEDEC yet, and no DDR6 RAM is commercially available.

Wow, easy and removable joysticks is a huge win for gamers. Im shocked to say, good job Sony! Someone's actually listening to the mass audience's woes! That's huge for repair!

Every time I see another video about the market crashing, I feel like a king because I’m always in profit with Moonacy Protocol. You won’t find APRs like this anywhere else!

I own a PS5 Slim and that thing heats up ALL the time. It's even shutdown at least once without any warning. Is that normal Should I contact tech support

4: 51 You got it wrong. This is not the APU, it's the filter capacitors. The part you called the back of the APU it's the APU really.

There’s a surprising amount of empty space on the motherboard. My guess would be for cooling and temperature management but idk.
