PS5 Questions
1

has anyone used thermal Grizzly Carbonaut as a replacement for liquid metal on the PS5?

2

well, since no one tried, I did It myself. Been using the carbonaut as replacement for LM for 3 months and no once got an overheating issue. And I get here in brazil around 32 celsius room temperature.

Thank you for your feedback, do you mix the Carbonaut with original LM from ps5 or you clean old up and paste all new ?

I removed the LM entirely from motherboard and heatsink, after all cleaned I put the carbonaut perfectly cut for the die size.

Works like a charm and no spilling risk or need to respread due to dry spots.

Oh, I just realize you talking about the reusable thermal pad Carbonaut not Conductonaut LM from Thernal Grizzly. lol

Yep, the carbonaut, works just fine as alternative.

Hi wanderflow,

just wanted to get an update from you about your PS5 running on Thermal Grizzly Carbonaut.

(1) console still running fine with PS5 games ?! (I dont talk about PS4 or small PSN games…)

(2) Did you verified if your APU/CPU started to corrode itself because of the heat ?

(3) did you installed a device inside the console to able to verify the heat temperature ?

Hi jkyoho,

  1. Yes running fine, almost 1 year after aplying carbonaut. Plays ps5 games with no problems and no overheat. Cooler runs slow. And I love in Brazil, here the temperatures are always high.
  2. No I didnt. As the console never overheated after the carbonaut. It cant corrode as the carbonaut is not abrasive.
  3. No

Yes. I did. Almost a year now. With the consile being used for 6 hours daily

6 hours DAILY ?
damn,

are you aware of the longevity of the soldered SSD (firmware) on the PS5
…its 7 years under normal use…

12

I use a 2tb ssd on it. No games using obboard ssd since when I bought the console.

13

each manipulation you do , go through the internal ssd 1st before it end on your 2TB SSD (me too i have one) and are you aware that the console record 1 hours of gameplay in the SSD for each game you run until you turn the console off.

all this wear the internal (stock) SSD

14

Read dont wear ssd only write, I know that playing some things write on the internal. As saves. The video part I disabled the day I bought the console. No recording here. So my internal is used by a minimum.

15

I dont talk about the 15 sec short video recording (trophies)
you cannot disable the 1 hour recording.
EVEN if you dont save the FULL 1 hour or even partial section , DURING your gameplay it ALWAYS keep 1 hours video recording in the SSD until you turn off the game. so if you play 6 hours/day …its still a LOTS or writting/erasing…

The console was build this way to kill the SSD fastest as humanly possible (after the console warranty of course)
