    Hey man, hope you could reply on my comment. You see, we just bought this same model from playstation in dubai and it says international version, but when i opened it up it's a japanese one. The problem is it states that the power supply is only 100v 3.55A 50/60hz and we are using 220-240v outlet. So im kindly asking if the power supply that is used in this newer version supports dual voltage regardless of what is written on the console? Thanks, best of luck.

    @TheCod3r, I've purchased this revision for my shop to compare components as well. To my surprise, I received one of these in for repair just weeks after release (September-November in the US?). Power supply was already dead, but as you said, the ADP-400FR is not available ANYWHERE. If anyone is wondering, you can use the ADP-400DR, it has the exact same ratings. I removed the 12V connector from the motherboard and wired up the terminals myself to allow the old PSU to fit, it was quite an interesting project!

      I would honestly go for the first PS5 version due to having the biggest copper heatsink than the rest. In my case, I ended up buying the 3rd PS5 version because it was made in the original PlayStation factory in Japan at a cheaper price than the first PS5 version made in the same factory.

I'm also getting 1.98v from F7003, so i'm not sure if that is supposed to be the 1.8v rail or not, but either way i would highly recommend against swapping ICs between EDM-030 and EDM-020 without taking measurements first.

    Everyone, I'm pretty sure I know what the issues is with the liquid metal. First I'm a machinist and we deal with silver plated pins for satellites, etc. Every time the Plate company returns the pins there is a "dog boning" effect (edges of pin are a thicker than the center of the pin).
    So I believe this can effect every model of console. Whats happening is there probably plating the heat sink vertical which causes more nickle material to attach to one side. This would have a "mound" effect, a 0.001 or more thickness difference between one side or the other. If there not smoothing or granite stoning a smooth even thickness afterwards there will be uneven pressure between the die (APU) and the heat sink surface. Over time the liquid metal is squeezed out of the higher pressure area and spreads to the less pressured area causing a dry spot, eventually leading to a hot spot and overheating. I would love to see TheCode3r take a square edge to the heat sink and the die to see just how flat those surfaces are? My bet is the hot spot ones are not flat.
    This to me is going to effect the 1000, 1100, 1200, models in time. How many have uneven plating? Who knows, but there will be many that will not have uneven pressure and there will be x number of consoles that will.

    Gamers Nexus found out that the ps5 memory modules stay cooler when the ps5 runs without side panels. however, this was with the 1000 model. the 1200 has fairly large openings in the case where a lot of cold air comes out once you've removed the side panels. so this lost air doesn't pass through the cooler and so would the ps5 1200 theoretically get warmer without side panels?

    The formula for the liquid metal needs to be thicker or not runny, whichever. Or create a self sealing cavity so there is no way for the liquid to squeeze out and contaminate the circuitry.

    Thanks for the great video. Very detailed.
    Question from United States about this model console I bought Refurbished from GameStop.
    Shortly after buying the console it started dropping Bluetooth connectivity with the DualSense controller.
    I tore it down to see what could be wrong, but nothing sticks out as obvious.
    The Bluetooth antenna cables are both attached to the underside of the Wi-Fi & Bluetooth chip and all the way to the antenna. They are both wiggly, but attached.
    Do you think my problem is the cables and I should re-solder them? Or could it be the chip itself?
    I do have the replacement warranty on it but didn't want to waste it in something I might possibly be able fix.
    Should I try to fix it, it use the warranty for an exchange?
    Sorry for the detailed request for free assistance, but nobody knows what this problem is. It likely happened when it was Refurbished.
    Thank you much.

      It's all good buddy, glad to help when I can. If the controllers constantly disconnect and you don't have any obstructions (I.E you have line of sight with the console) and the antennas are connected (loose is normal) I'd say return it under warranty. The IC itself is likely the cause but rather than risk damaging it or voiding the warranty I'd say get gamestop to replace it for you :)

      @@TheCod3r thanks much for the reply. I took it apart and everything does seem to be okay. The antenna plugs swivel but are tightly in there.
      I see what I think could be the likely problem is that the chip is right next to the heatsinks, and there is no case ventilation in that spot on the back so the chip might be overheating. Maybe, maybe not.

      Same model pretty much. The fans can be different between models with the same number but the 12 just means 1200 model, 15 is the region and A or B says whether it's the disc or digital version.
      I'm in the UK and mines the CFI-1216A. Which means it's the 1200 model, European (can be from the Middle East and Africa too I believe) and it's the disk version.
      He's in the UK so it's probably CFI-1216A if he got it from a UK seller.

Performs actually better so all good! Ive had a 1000 it somehow would heat my room up my 1200 doesnt and idk how that could make a difference but it did. Also I swear my 1200 has better internet connection even with my ethernet it doesnt fluctuate as much.

    You mention the liquid metal accumulating at the bottom of the APU, but if you look at how you pull the motherboard up, you lift it from left to right while tilting it top to bottom, and since you are pulling on the liquid metal it pulls more of the liquid metal to the bottom of the APU, could this not be the reason it always seems to pool at the bottom of the APU? if you were able to remove the motherboard without tilting it wouldn't the liquid metal not pool more in the middle of the APU?
