I think it's time I put liquid metal in the Xbox Series X! Who wants to see that?

[rpgquester]

The real miracle is that you managed to get 2 ps5s

[sdewey]

You've been fixing too many PS4s lol half the video you were calling the 5 a 4.

Great content!

[abendroid]

Love the sponsor that actually has to do with motherboard repair.

[chrisdahfuh]

Man your videos are great i remember when you showed how to fix the ps4. I bought a ps4 broken in purpose back in college when i didn't have a job since it was cheaper than a new ps4 and i managed to get it fixed with your video! So it's cool to see you working on the ps5 😅

He calls it a PS4 (Both times, It startled me for a second!).

[mufasaiam]

This channel is like Linus Tech Tips but with less dropping

[juanpedrosuarez]

So you are the one who let rhyno escape so many times...

[arenavisionTV]

It's just amazing that you managed to get all of the different sizes of screws matched back into the appropriate holes

[slaz]

You are one of the few youtubers that understands thermals, it's a breath of fresh air and keep up the good work! Most people would say the thermal paste works better because the air temp is cooler coming out the back of the PS5 🤦‍♂

[mullinsjm]

Interesting how the liquid metal dissipates the heat more efficiently. It will be interesting to see how well it works 2-3 years down the road.

[TechDeviceRepair]

Interesting Results! Thank you for the experiment!

[Debate_everything]

I think the real question of this experiment is how long will the thermal paste version run with the fan running. He is thermal paste a future repair that can be applied to the system and be sufficient even if it’s slightly less efficient

[computernerdinside]

I still wish we were able to see die temps, as exhaust air temps and fan sounds do give clues but can be hit/miss.

[neiliewheeliebin]

I'm more concerned about the longevity of liquid metal it often fails after a couple of years, it'll be interesting to see how it goes

[casualbachelor]

That is a nice looking *PS4* you got there Tronics..

[elitetruegamer]

I always look forward to his teardowns, amazing videos. Big thanks to steve for a very detailed demonstration. When the times right I'm looking into one

[iXPilot]

Weird that the consoles were not signaling about the disconnected cooler...

[dfuma]

Well Sony did say they worked on the liquid metal solution for two years, so I’m really interested as to what they did that’s different from traditional liquid metal

My anxiety going up while you open up that ps5 like its your lunchbox
