My God! I've got like half the heat sink!
Yeah, that's like really different. That's not even close! Wait, wait, wait. Set these down, set these down. This directly explains why the new one is so much hotter.
Yeah! Holy crap. You've got like a big chunk of this. I've got a little chunk this now. You making me feel like I need to compensate with my PS5. Look at how different that is.
That's crazy, dude. Wow. And the different colors, like these are clearly just entirely different models of heat sink. Absolutely.
What we know, it's not as efficient because it runs hotter. The fence has a little bit better, but that makes sense because this is, I bet I believe, a slightly better fan. That does not compensate for the lack of... I'm going to guess when we weigh these, 300 grams difference in heat sink.
Yeah. I don't want to like, make any bold claims here, but that doesn't seem good. No, no. There's no scenario where this is good. Technically, if Sony is able to get usable, good performance out of this smaller, lighter heat sink, they save money and it should be okay.
But we know that even with a very brief test, this one runs hotter, which makes sense because I'm sure the chip inside is the exact same. Look, you've got all this extra copper here. They, I guess for the launch models, over-engineered the cool... Which they should've done.
Because Sony again has had major problems with heat in their consoles. I would guess what's happened is that Sony now they've got almost a year of PS5 data, they've spent more time testing everything, have determined that while yes, this is going to run a little bit hotter, that's probably fine, that it won't negatively impact things that much.
I dunno, man, that doesn't seem wise considering that the PS5, like you said, changes its wattage based on what's going on in the console. So potentially long-term, especially as you imagine this kit started to get caked in dust and whatnot, you got less fans, less mass. You could actually lose performance.
But I wonder though, with everything being so expensive to produce right now, that this actually helps their bottom line compensate... No, a 100% does, because they just announced that they're making a profit on these things now, instead of taking a loss.
1,640 grams is the original big chunk us heat sink. Let's see where we're at on this one. I'll flip it up the same way you did. I'll rest it gently on the scale. 1,368. Yeah. That's it. They literally took out a very sizeable amount of copper and aluminum heat fans.
Unlike the fans, you know, which PS5 you have based on the model number, the fans are a total crapshoot, you might have one fan or might have the other, and the only way to tell is to take off the side plates, which is annoying. But now, you have an easy way to know if your PS5 is going to run hotter.
The only thing that we can't really determine is the difference in the wifi. There certainly is a difference, right? Because I, I only had two antennas and you had four. So something has been simplified or changed. But unless we actually sit down and do like side-by-side wifi tests.
The PS3 specifically was a console that when it came out every different time they updated it, it got worse and worse and worse and worse. The very first update we've seen less than a year into the PS5, I don't think there's any argument that this is a worse console, at least for thermals and for the cooling, maybe they've changed the wifi stuff.
Maybe as we dig deeper into this, we'll find other weird quirks and features. But as far as I'm concerned, I would rather have a launch PS5, especially if you're putting an SSD in your console, like even if you have that heat sink, that SSD is going to get hot. And if this one has worse cooling, you're going to have trouble with that SSD.
And there you have it, friends. The PS5 is exposed. We've now determined the true root of all evil. Which is about 300 grams of copper aluminum. Huge thanks. Jimmy, thank you very much for joining.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en- Inside this box,directly from Japan,is a brand newupdated version of the PS5.What? You might ask,is in a brand new updatedversion of the PS5that I definitely spent a lot of moneyto have overnighted to California?We're about to find out.All I know is that due to someJapanese regulatory filings,very exciting I know,this PS5 is supposedlya third of a kiloor about little over half a pound lighterthan the existing PS5 digital.There's also some talkthat it might have a different wifi card,the screw is different.This PS5 is currently on sale in Japan,and I believe Australia,but my assumption is is thatthis is the first revisionof the PS5that will probably be soldeverywhere pretty shortly.Is is tape?No it's not tape.- It's green, it's green,it's literally green.- I'm color blind.- No, I think you're just blind.- That's 100% true statement, ask my wife.(record scratch)- Yeah, I--(Man laughs)I didn't have to tell her that one.- I love you, honey.- So not onlyare you down over $1000but you're sleeping on the couch tonight.- It's subtle,but the existing model is the 1015B,whereas the new model is the 1100B.Why is it lighter?Is it less quality?Did they take out some stuff?It actually does feel a little lighter.I don't think (boy scream).Try it?Here's one, I'm not gonnatell which one that is.That's the Japanese one, see?So, first of all, we havethe original digital edition,which comes in at3,828 gramsand3,542!- Wow.- 300 grams lighter.- Riveting content.- Look!- It's lighter, good job.- Here's the question, why is it lighter?It at least means that I'm notcrazy for making this video.- Well, well let's not go that far.- You can't see right now,I have a whole array of testing equipment.I don't need the--- The dude's a lunatic.- I want to know what's new in the PS5!- Thanks.This is the original stand.This is the thing I do know,is updated.Okay. That's kind of hard.I probably would wantto use a screwdriver.You know what?I'm actually totally not kidding.That is way easier to do with my fingers.Now that we have some,new and improved, slightly, easier stand,only fire these up andsee if there's any actualphysical difference that wecan notice with the hardware.How riveting is this content?How excited are youto have already subscribed to the channeland ringling the ding-a-ling bellfor high quality technical analysisthat you certainly can't getanywhere else on the internet?Look, mom said we hadDigital Foundry at home.We got digital Foundry at home.- Welcome to the PS5 head to head!On my left sideis the original launchmodel of the PS5 digital,the 10 series, if you will.Whereas on my right sideis the brand new 11 series digital.Let's start out by taking a listenand a little probe with my sound meterof how loud the original PS5 is.(PS5 fans blowing air)43.5 decibels. Okay.(PS5 fans blowing air)42.1.Very small difference.It's very subtle though.And I can tell you very confidentlythat if you're more than a few feet awayfrom either of these,this one might technicallybe a little bit quieter.It's not something you're going to notice.So this is a Seek thermal camera.Now I have more fun goodies,like a infrared thermometer,but I'm, I'm going to actually use thisbecause this will give us a good sensefor what it looks likein terms of the actualtemperature of the models.Coming straight through the back.We have 51, 52 degrees.Okay.So now let's take a look at the new oneand see where we're at here.55, 56.So this one's actually somewhat warmer,three or four degreedifference isn't huge,but that actually issomething, especially,you can say that the fan sound different.My hunch is that the differencebetween these two PS5'sand the weightis that this has adifferent cooling assembly.The new one is running pretty consistentlythree to five degrees warmerthan the old oneCelsius, yeah, yeah, yeah.So and Fahrenheit, that'sprobably like eight,nine degrees warmer.That's something that you would noticeif you're having throttling issueswith an existing PS5that doesn't have likegreat air flow or something.The difference of five degrees Celsius,that might not seem exciting,but that is actually enoughto cause some differencein either your performanceor in just the longevity of the console,ff it's sitting there.Because the exterior temperatureis always significantly coolerthan what the actual chipon the inside is running right now.- And right know, we're on open air.This is not in the cabinet.- No, this is about the best case scenarioof Austin being baked by PS5's.- The next thing I want to tryis how much powereach of these are takingtraditionally when there are slim models,when there are upgradesto PlayStation's or Xbox'sa lot of times they will tweak the chipsand the actual power draw on the inside.I don't think there's a new chip in this,mostly just becausethis model is coming outless than a year after the PS5,but our handy-dandypower meter doesn't lie.The old school original PS5is sitting pretty consistentlyat about 225 watts.So that is the control.228, 230.Oh, wow.So the thing with the PS5that you need to consideris that unlike the Xboxis there is a variableboost frequency, right?So the PS5 will run the CPUGPU as high as they can,but there's some variability there.If we're talking 3, 4, 5 Watts.To me that seems more marginof error of certain PS5'sor just going to boost slightly higheror alternatively,certain silicon inside the PS5'smay require slightly higher voltageto hit those same frequencies.To this point,we've established, that the new PS5runs slightly quieter,but somewhat significantly hotter.And is ballpark the sameas far as power goes.So let's start out by taking them apart.In equal distances of--Oh, look, is that Jimmy from PS Ready?To help me take apart PlayStation's?Wow. It's almost like wecould have planned that tobe a smoother transition.All right.Here's the deal. Let'stake it apart bit by bit.I've got the scale.We're gonna keep going untilwe get to the bottom of thisand find out why they'relighter. What the wifi cards are.All that kind of stuff.- Sounds good.So the screw was different.- The screw was absolutely different.So...- You got the new one, though.- I have the new one, you got the old one.- Wait, let me try it.I've been talking about it for awhile.- You made like eightvideos on this (laughs).It is easier to do. Okay.That's a big difference.Okay. I got mine. I've got mine.We'll look at the fan blades though.Are there...Actually, you know what,let's take a closer look.- If we take it apart.- Let's open up the SSDand see if there'sanything different here.Hey wait, wait, wait.That's different.That's different shape.- It's lighter.- It is lighter.Can we, can we get a, an enhance on this?(bell dings)- Just do it.(plate comes off)(Austin laughs)- See?I will make fun of me when I did it.Jimmy did it too.- Good thing this isn't mine.- You know the sad thing isI have an entire video onhow to disassembly a PS5but that was like last yearand I've totally forgotten how I did it.- I didn't watch it.- Wait, wait, wait, wait.- I don't have power tools.I got to take this personally.- I was trying to get ahead a little bitso I can look like I know what I'm doingwhen you get done with your part.All the fans are different.- So, they're sort of similar,but this one has much more curved blades.You see it has this bottom bit,which actually is attachedall %the way around.There's just an empty gapon the inside of this one.So this one is a Delta Electronics fanas is that,so it's the same manufacturer,which Delta makes a lot of fans fortons of different things.- Okay, so new fan,on the scale, 257 grams.- Okay. So we've got the old one.Exactly the same.Exactly the same.- The search continuesfor our 300 grams.- Oh.- Doesn't open?- Oh Jimmy, you smart, smart, man.- We definitely just missed a screw.- Yeah, we missed a screw.On count of Three. One,two, three.Oh, you got something!There's something.- This is copper colored.- Yes.- This is bigger. What is that?So a couple things I noticedyou see how the copper heatsink on the original oneis much wider.Look how much extraspace there is on this.So there's clearly somethingmissing from this side.I also see, look,you have a black and awhite wire for your wifi.I have a white and a blue.- Oh, so you do have a new wife thing.You know what this heating thing though,for a consolethat is coming off of two generationsof consoles, that havemajor heating problems.And one of the big issuesreportedly with buildingthis thing was heat.I don't love that the newermodel has a smaller heat sink.- And look how much extra space,there's a full finger of space,which is being completelywasted, which is not there.Also, you can see the PCB, right?It's very clearly a lightgreen versus darker green.Here, can you read me theserial number on that wifi?Let me do this,just because it's gonna bereally hard to stay on camera.I'm just gonna takephotos of both of theseand then we'll just put it in that cut.This, I am almost positive,unless it's the Bluetooth.But if this is the wifi,this looks identical.Oh, wait.No, there's something else different.Look at this.I have a blue and a whitethat comes down, right?You have a white and a blackand you also have another white and black.So you have four.So I would assume one ofthese is for Bluetooth.And one of these, oneof these are for wifi.This new PS5.This is a,I don't think there's any doubt here.This is a cost reduced,lighter weight, less material.Like, the reason it's lighteris because they literally removed cooling.- Because they just reportedthat they're finally not takinga loss on these things.So yeah, it's,it's what we guessed in thevideos where we talked about it.They're just using cheaper stuff.- Oh my God!I've got like half the heat sink!- Yeah. That's like really different.- That's not even close!Wait, wait, wait. Setthese down, set these down.- This directly explains whythe new one is so much hotter.- Yeah!- Holy crap.- You've got like a big chunk of this.I've got a little chunk this now.You making me feel like I needto compensate with my PS5.Look at how different that is.- That's crazy, dude.- Wow.- And the different colors,like these are clearlyjust entirely differentmodels of heat sink.- Absolutely.- What we know, it's not as efficient,because it runs hotter.- The fence has a little bit better,but that makes sense becausethis is, I bet I believe,a slightly better fan.That does not compensatefor the lack of, I mean,I'm going to guess when we weigh these,300 grams difference in heat sink.- Yeah.I don't want to like,make any bold claims here,but that doesn't seem good.- No, no. There's noscenario, where this is good.Technically,if Sony is able to getusable, good performanceout of this smaller,lighter heat sink,they save money and it should be okay.But we know that evenwith a very brief test,this one runs hotter,which makes sense becauseI'm sure the chip insideis the exact same.Look, you've got allthis extra copper here.They, I guess for the launch models,over-engineered the cool--- Which they should've done.Because Sony again has hadmajor problems with heatin their consoles.- I would guess what's happened.Is that Sony,now they've got almost a year of PS5 data,they've spent more timetesting everything,have determined that while yes,this is going to run a little bit hotter,that's probably fine,that it won't negativelyimpacts things that much.- I dunno, man, that,that doesn't seem wiseconsidering that the PS5, like you said,changes its wattage based onwhat's going on in the console.- So potentially long-term,especially as you imaginethis kit started toget caked in dust and whatnot,you got less fans, less mass.You could actually lose performance.- But I wonder though,with everything being soexpensive to produce right nowthat this actually helps theirbottom line compensate...- No, a 100% does, becausethey just announcedthat they're making aprofit on these things now,instead of taking a loss.1,64039- Okay, so that is theoriginal big chunkus,heat sink.- Let's see where we're at on this one.So I'll flip it up the same way you did.I'll rest it gently on the scale.- 1,368.- Yeah.That's it.- They literally took outa very sizeable amount of copperand aluminum heat fans.- Unlike the fans.You know, which PS5 you havebased on the model number,the fans are a total crapshoot,you might have one fanor might have the otherand the only way to tell isto take off the side plates,which is annoying.But now,you have an easy way to knowif your is PS5 going to run hotter.- The only thingthat we can't really determineis the difference in the wifi.There certainly is a difference, right?Because I, I only had two antennasand you had four.So something has beensimplified or changed.But unless we actually sit downand do like side-by-side wifi tests.The PS3 specifically.was a console that when it came outevery different time they updated it,it got worse and worseand worse and worse.The very first update we've seenless than a year into the PS5,I don't think there's any argumentthat this is a worse console,at least for thermals and for the cooling,maybe they've changed the wifi stuff.Maybe as we dig deeper into this,we'll find other weirdquirks and features.But as far as I'm concerned,I would rather have a launch PS5,- Especially if you're puttingan SSD in your console, dude,like even if you have that heat sink,that SSD is going to get hot.And if this one has worse cooling,you're going to havetrouble with that SSD.And there you have it, friends.- The PS5 is exposed.We've now determinedthe true root of all evil.Which is about 300 gramsof copper aluminum.Huge thanks.Jimmy, thank you very much for joining.If you have not already,You should absolutely go subscribeto Jimmy's excellent PS Ready channelfor minute by minute updateson the impending PlayStation crisis.
