Overview
- Modder Modyfikator89 first spotted the change and shared teardown images on X, with outlets reporting no formal announcement from Sony.
- The latest PS5 Slim revisions adopt the Pro’s deeper‑groove heatsink and altered liquid‑metal TIM arrangement to contain spillage and stabilize temperatures.
- Reports point to model CFI-2116 and entries in the CFI-2100/2200 family, covering both Disc and Digital Editions now entering retail channels worldwide.
- The update is expected to reduce prior leak incidents tied to older PS5 FAT/OG and Slim CFI2016 units and to lessen dry spots and oxidation over time.
- Owners of earlier consoles are advised not to intervene unless they experience overheating, with any liquid‑metal reapplication recommended for professionals.
