🌟FAQ
Question 1: What is the benefit of using liquid metal on the PS4 Pro processor?
Answer 1: Liquid metal offers superior thermal conductivity compared to thermal paste, reducing operating temperatures and enhancing overall performance.

Question 2: Can liquid metal damage the PS4 Pro processor?
Answer 2: If not applied carefully, liquid metal can cause short circuits. Insulating the processor’s SMD components with liquid insulating adhesive is crucial to prevent damage.

Question 3: Do I need specific tools for this process?
Answer 3: Yes, you’ll need tools like a Torx T8 screwdriver, Phillips 1 screwdriver, plastic pry tools, tweezers, and a magnetic mat to keep screws organized.

Question 4: Can I use this method on a PS4 Pro 2nd gen?
Answer 4: This guide is for first-generation PS4 Pro models (CUH-7015b, CUH-7016b, CUH-7115b, CUH-7116b). For second-generation models, check the description for a link to a specific guide.

Followed the instructions almost exactly and everything worked out great. To other beginners: take your time and have enough space. Took me 3 hours but it was a great journey and the Ps4Pro is whisper silent even with games like AC Odyssey.

A question or doubt: is the silver box that surrounds the processor aluminum? Because if it is aluminum, the liquid metal will corrode it eventually, damaging the plate. Have you taken that into account? A way should be found to encapsulate the liquid metal properly.

Demasiado riesgo .

Can liquid metal insulators be removed later?

I do not see any link in the description for the 2nd Gen PS4 pro.

Liquid metal on PS4 Pro??? Seems a little risky to me. I would rather use thermal paste. Im very interested in the results.

Are these things are available in India?😊

interaction gallium to aluminum radiator🗿

Hello. I'm sorry, but can someone please explain if I should be worried or not? In short: I decided to remove the cooler in order to clean it and part of the radiator, but now it seems that part of the air from the bottom (if we consider the vertical orientation) does not come out or comes out weakly, the air itself has become not so hot, the flow is probably less intense, and from the top (again speaking about vertical orientation) - cold air comes out, although, as I understand it, from there, on the contrary, it should come in. Haven't noticed a change in performance yet, but I'm paranoid so I'm worried. Perhaps a stupid question, but I want to understand if everything is fine and could I somehow damage something, such as contacts?

Does og ps4/ps4 slim can use liquid metal?
