A) PS5, as well as all types of equipment with a cooler cooling system, is recommended to be cleaned once a year. Which does not mean only cleaning from dust. It is necessary to replace liquid metal and thermal adhesives.

You may have heard the myth - "Liquid metal does not need to be changed" - but this is not true. Liquid metal used in the PS5 has a much higher temperature tolerance than thermal paste. For example, one of the best thermal pastes has 14.2 W/mk, and liquid metal - 73W/mk, but this does not mean that liquid metal does not wear out and does not need to be replaced.

The PS5's internal memory is built-in, which means you can't easily replace it if it gets damaged. Because of this, you need to be more careful and attentive.

a) In order not to damage the operating system or the SSD memory, you should check the free space, preferably 80 GB - the free space should be left on the integrated SSD so that information can be freely exchanged between the chips and not overheated.

We are often asked - should the PS5 be vertical or horizontal? - The answer is it is better to be in a horizontal position. Now consider why?

As you know, instead of PS5 thermal paste, liquid metal is applied to the processor, which has a consistency similar to silver water. When working in a vertical position, the liquid metal slowly flows down and collects in the slot of the protective cover of the processor. The top of the rectangular processor remains free of liquid metal over time, and the processor crystal comes into direct contact with the cooling heatsink, causing damage to the crystal. Even if you change the liquid metal, the problem still cannot be solved because the damaged part of the crystal can no longer accept the liquid metal and it becomes necessary to polish the crystal.

As you know, equipment and drinks cannot be friends. No matter how careful we are, everything is still the fault of chance, at this time the most important thing is to know how to act and why special washing is necessary.

First of all, it is necessary to consider stereotypes:

"pour a little"First of all, we should know that the commandment "pour a little" is a wrong approach, even one drop can cause harm. In service, we had a case where water dripping from the bottom of a cup caused a very serious short circuit on the motherboard. Most of the time a small amount of liquid does not reach the motherboard and only damages the keyboard, but this is an excuse and it is difficult to hope for it.
