    Finally managed to score a Playstation 5. It genuinely might be easier to purchase weapons grade plutonium than that stupid console.

      The new PS and XB consoles essentially have AMD PC hardware, so cooling has become a massive concern. Hence the size!

       

      Just don't jiggle that thing around! Apparently there have been horror stories about the PS5 liquid-metal coolant leaking. That would be bad!

      liquid metal seems good  but it does leak out

      Both my CPU and GPU in the PC are liquid metal'd, not sure how that's supposed to be leaking. It's just a thermal compound - if it hasn't squeezed out at assembly, it can't squeeze out after. 

       

      That being said: we found a solution. Big TV in the bedroom now, small TV on the "PC wall", and console suspended next to it. Only gonna jiggle if the wall comes down. 😄

      Our big TV doesn't support HDR10, so 52" has to suffice. Will do. 

       

      While i am absolutely not a fan of the design, it is considerably better suited for us than our old PS4 that sounded like a Saturn rocket launching everytime you started a game - and because the loading times were measured in tree circles, you listened to that for quite a while. This one is silent, and saves us on heating lol. The fan design is considerably better too (had it open already for a "hack", o-rings under the fan shroud to reduce vibration). 

       

      All in all, with just Ghost of Tsushima and Ratchet and Clank now, we had a fun day with it. Elden Ring tomorrow, and 4th of March Gran Turismo 7, which, if Gran Turismo 2 is anything to go by, will entertain me until FFXVI comes out lol.
