The Sony PlayStation 5 runs its memory hot, but the SOC thermals seem OK. We'll look at PS5 thermals, power, and noise in this testing. Noise & power are good, though!

In this benchmark of the PlayStation 5, we're testing thermals, power, and acoustics, and also running a clip of partial tear-down & disassembly of the PS5. We left the liquid metal untouched (and heatsink mounted) for long-term viability and endurance testing, but fortunately, the board layout allowed us to still easily probe memory and VRM / MOSFET thermals since these components are not directly under the primary heatsink. In fact, the memory barely has a heatsink at all, although the VRM is contacted to a heatpipe and smaller heatsink. The PS5's large blower…
