Btw this video shows thermal paste didn't make PS5 overheats, but only tests for 15 minutes, and it does make the fan annoying (it spins up and down all the time, maybe due to the fan curve was optimized for temperature characteristic with LM)

I get that you do not belive a LM PS5 will survive your luck, why do you think a modded one with thermal paste has any chance? The fans are probably optimised with the Sony thinks the temps should be, to not mess up the PS5. If they could have not used LM, do you think they still would have gone with LM?
Only 15mn completely invalidates that test. I remember specifically a youtuber test with the "and it overheated" or similar in the title.Btw this video shows thermal paste didn't make PS5 overheats, but only tests for 15 minutes, and it does make the fan annoying (it spins up and down all the time, maybe due to the fan curve was optimized for temperature characteristic with LM)

I would expect this, any imperfections in the seal would most likely be exposed following repeated use, i.e. expansion and contraction.zero case of PS5 left unopened in the box to have LM leak issue, despite the box is vertical.

Yep that must be that video. But I think the guy should have tested more thoroughly. A real test should be a worst case test: at least 1 hour with a game we know consume >220W (we know a few of them now thanks to AJ Gaming on YouTube) and in a hot room (30°C). I'd wager in that case PS5 would very likely overheat.the title of that video "PS5 Liquid Metal vs Thermal Paste - It OVERHEATED!"
Now, is the "slim" going to still be significantly bigger than the XBS-X?

Yes. I'd say 5nm would make sense for this year.Have the Slims always had a die shrink of the chips?
Although the Slim also have represented a price cut as well, but that doesn't seem likely for a PS5 Slim.
Yes. The power reduction is what has enabled the size reduction in the past. If the console could have been smaller without the shrink, it would have been.Have the Slims always had a die shrink of the chips?
