We have a Discord server!

It's a place to chill, chat, and share your repairs or whatever else you're working on.

The server is brand new, so it might take a little time to get going.

You'll mostly find me hanging out in voice chat with my camera on while I go about my day.

PS5 OVER HEATING BDM-010 HEATSINK CORROSION

PS5 Over Heating Heatsink Issue.

Virgin (warranty seal untouched) PS5 BDM-010.
Looks like we have the electro plating corroding and pitting on the heatsink.
That is a hole in the electroplating.

The rest is extremely rough and will fail soon making the console over heat more and more

This is what the surface “should” look like for this model of PS5.
Replacing it with this brand new 2nd hand heatsink, what a difference!
PS5 Overheating

This is just an observation. I’ve see some uneven surfaces on PS5’s over the years but 9/10 once clean they are fine and clean up good.

This one on the other hand was different. With significant pitting that Liquid Metal cannot operate efficiently.


Liquid Metal requires two extremely flat surfaces to cool correctly. It fills in the microscopic pits and valleys on the heatsink and APU die surface, remember “microscopic” you need an electron microscope to see them.

It also relies on capillary action to circulate the Liquid Metal keeping the two flat surfaces filled with Liquid Metal creating that bridge for heat transfer.

I’m sure there are people out there who will make this out to be bigger than it is or it’s the worst thing to scare customers or views on socials ect…

“it’s a manufacturing defect”
“Sony needs to recall ALL PS5”
“YOUR PS5 WILL DIE!”
“It’s because you had the PS5 vertical”

On the healing bench today is a HexGaming Phantom Controller From eXtremeRate. This controller is only 4 months old and the amount of scrap I pulled out is amazing!
