The new design is based on the PS5 Pro heatsink and liquid-metal layout.
Sony has revised its standard and slim PlayStation 5s with an updated cooling design to fix a longstanding liquid metal leak problem.
As reported by VideoCardz, the new system reportedly borrows from the PS5 Pro design, which uses an updated liquid metal application pattern and an adjusted heatsink layout.
When early PS5 and PS5 Slim consoles are stored vertically, or moved frequently, the liquid metal occasionally leaks from between the heatsink and the system on a chip (SoC). This reduces the contact area between the chip and heatsink, leading to overheating.
