what's going on you guys so about three weeks ago playstation finally released the official version
of the update that unlocks the ssds inside the console so the thing is i went ahead to install
the xpg gamix s70 blade with the stock heatsink so keep my ssd cool but then i heard about sabran's
new ps5 heatsink and i decided to consider that so the thing is you can get it as a combo with
the subrance rocket four plus ssd so if you want a combo that has the ssd and a heatsink that's easy
to install then you should probably look into this option right here i can't guarantee that using
this heatsink will make your ssd a lot cooler than using any of the other heatsinks but what i can
tell you is that this is extremely easy to install and it was designed specifically to cool down ssds
inside the ps5 and this works with any ssd it doesn't have to be sabran's rocket four plus it
could be any of the other ones you can pick up the heatsink by itself for about 23 canadian dollars
and you can pick up the combo together for about 285 286 canadian dollars so make sure you keep
your eyes out there's usually discounts on ssds and these combos and stuff like that the xpg gamix
s70 blade did come with a stock heatsink that i installed before putting it into the console
i haven't had any issues with overheating or temperature or anything like that and i've
been playing with it installed into my console for about three weeks now maybe even a month
somewhere around there the stock xpg gamix s70 blade heatsink that i have installed inside the
ps5 right now does come with about two layers just like every other heatsink you'll find out there
the thermal tape and the aluminum heat sink so brand's heatsink comes with three different
layers so they're going to be replacing the metal cover for the ssd slot inside your ps5 so
some of you guys out there might be thinking oh i trust sony's engineering and i don't know why
you would want to replace the cover and all of that that's up to you that's your decision to make
but sabran's ps5 heatsink replaces that metal cover for a top heat spreader the top heat
spreader improves thermal transfer from heating sources so it's supposed to improve the coolant
ability of the overall heatsink and what makes it super cool is how easy it is to install with
any ssd all you need is your ssd and this heatsink before i go ahead and jump into the installation
i want you guys to let me know down in the comment section what ssds you've got installed inside your
ps5 or which ones you're looking into getting and let me know what you guys think about this new ps5
heatsink from sabrent and if you'll be picking one up so let's go ahead and do this y'all right there
okay so that's off get that out the way and we've got the cover right here as you can see so this is
the m.2 ssd cover by playstation itself some of you guys are probably wondering why would i want
to take out the cover by playstation 5. that's up to you guys right there for me it's the top heat
spreader this metal enclosement right here just keeps the heat inside so i'm going to open it up
and i'm going to replace it with sabran's version okay as you can see we've got the sabrand heatsink
right here we've got the blue thermal tape right here which allows for excellent thermal
conductivity and then we've got the aluminum heatsink which allows for greater heat dissipation
so that's the actual heatsink and the top right here is what replaces the playstation 5 m.2 ssd
slot cover and that's the top heat spreader and this one improves thermal transfer from heating
sources i got my screwdriver right here i'm going to open this up right now so just take that off uh
there's also a screwdriver from cerbrent just in case you don't have one that fits for the screw
in the playstation 5. so this one right here so you can use that it provided that as well
as a part of this ps5 heatsink all right so i'm going to take this off right now get that off out
the way and as you can see i've got my xpg gamix there that's been installed for about a month now
like i said so no issues at all and this is the stock heatsink that came with it that's what's on
the ssd okay that's off we're gonna take this out pull it out right there i'm gonna go ahead
and replace that setup with this setup the ps5 heatsink from cebrant as well as the rocket four
plus one terabyte m.2 ssd from sabrent and like i said earlier there's nothing wrong with the xpg
game mix that was installed initially i used it for over a month no issues at all if we can get
1000 likes on this video i'll do a temperature test between my old setup and this new cebrant
rocket 4 plus and the heatsink combo setup we'll see which one is cooler or which one
you know can be cooler after playing for long sessions which is very important so as you can
see there's that's both of them right there the heatsink and the rocket four plus they're pretty
much the same design it's got that clean look to it and all you got to do is basically attach
these two together right here if you're worried about switching out the ps5 stock metal cover
then you can go ahead and get one of those double-sided heat sinks or single-sided heat sinks
and use that instead you know just like my xpg gamix which i showed you guys was installed before
but i want something that's a little bit more sophisticated so i'm going with this new setup all
right so first up i'm going to install the thermal pad on the ssd and then i'll install the new cover
so what i'll do is i'll grab the thermal pad off of the heatsink right there and then just set that
to the side grab the little thing protecting it there's a thing on it like a little plastic
get that off then i've got the ssd right here i'm going to place this on there all we got to
do now is install this into into the ps5 and then cover it up before you put this in make sure that
you have your standoff in the right place so this little piece of metal this little piece right here
i don't know if you guys see that but you want to make sure that that's installed in the right place
for the right size of ssd so you just install the ssd itself just plug it in diagonally and
then once it's there all you have to do now is screw it down out with the old in with the new so
we get this out the way and then we just place this on there and it's a snug fit that's the
truth right there it's an actual snog fit so it's supposed to be a better heat sink that's cooler
based on sabran's test all right i'm gonna screw this back on and we're pretty much done here
i can't tell anybody what to do this video is for my console it's a very snug fit and i'm
more confident in having this little cover plus heatsink combo as opposed to the original one that
was on there okay all that's left now is to cover this up and you know get the plan okay now that
i've got everything installed and everything's working perfectly the ssd looks great inside
the ps5 and it's working great as well i would like you guys to let me know down in the comments
section what you think about this new ps5 heatsink plus m.2 ssd combo from sabrent i'm really happy
with the current setup now but i'd like to see how it holds up over time if you're looking to
pick up sabran's heatsink or the ps5 heatsink plus m.2 ssd combo you can go ahead and use the links
down in the description below i've also linked some of the best m.2 ssds that you guys can go
for if you don't want the rocket 4 plus m.2 ssd but that's all i've got for you guys in this one
