  • Underneath metal shield number two: a massive heatsink and funky-looking power supply.

  • Since heat rises naturally, it makes sense that this heatsink is designed to move heat upward through all those heat pipes we saw earlier in the X-ray. All the while, the heat radiating through the silver fin stacks is blown away by the fan.

  • Compared to the Xbox Series X's heatsink, the PS5's definitely has some more surface area to spread that hot hot heat. The PS5 doesn’t use a vapor chamber like the Series X, but Sony claims their combination of copper heat pipes and heatsinks is just as effective.

  • Hanging out below the giant heatsink is the PS5's boot-shaped 350-watt enclosed power supply—which is more than enough for the tested 200W draw at full load, and a bit more even than the 315W power supply we found in the Series X.

  • Here's a closeup of the specs, for those of you who asked—the PSU itself is made by Delta.
