Sony made big changes to the PlayStation 5 Pro’s cooling system to stop worries about leaks. The new PS5 Pro uses liquid metal to keep the console cool, but some people were scared it could spill out. Sony added tiny grooves to hold the liquid metal in place, making it safer and stronger. This means gamers can play longer without the console getting too hot.
A few years ago, some people online said the old PS5 might leak liquid metal if stood upright. Sony said those stories were wrong, but they still made the PS5 Pro better anyway. Now, the liquid metal stays put, even if you move the console around.
How the New Cooling Works
The PS5 Pro’s cooling system is like a super-smart ice pack. Liquid metal is a special material that moves heat away from the console’s brain (the processor) faster than regular paste. But liquid metal can be runny, so Sony carved tiny grooves into the metal plate that touches the processor. These grooves act like little roads that keep the liquid metal exactly where it needs to be.
Why Grooves Matter
Consider the grooves a maze. Pour water into a maze, and it does not spill all over (it goes where it’s led). The grooves in the PS5 Pro do the same thing with liquid metal. Even if you tilt the console or bump it, the liquid metal stays trapped in the grooves. This keeps the console cool and safe.
Bigger Fan, Quieter Noise
Sony also gave the PS5 Pro a bigger fan with new blade shapes. The fan pulls in more air to cool the console, but it’s quieter than before. Smaller blades between the big blades help reduce buzzing sounds. This means you can play games like Spider-Man 2 or Final Fantasy VII Rebirth without the fan sounding like a jet engine.
Why Gamers Will Love the PS5 Pro’s Upgrades
The PS5 Pro is not all about appearing cool (it is designed to last). The new cooling system means the console can handle super-detailed games without overheating. You won’t have to worry about turning off your PS5 Pro to let it “rest.” Plus, the fixes show Sony listens to gamers, even when problems are rare.
Experts who took apart the PS5 Pro (like iFixit) say the inside is packed with cooling parts. It is like Sony built a tiny air conditioner for the console’s brain. This makes the PS5 Pro ready for future games that will need even more power.
