GrauGear G-PS5HS05+ Heatpipe Cooler and M.2 NVMe SSD Cooling Solution for PlayStation 5 Slim & Pro, Gray

The GrauGear G-PS5HS05+ Heatpipe Cooler and M.2 NVMe SSD Cooling Solution for PlayStation 5 Slim & Pro, Gray is a combined thermal assembly engineered to reduce temperatures in the PS5 Slim and Pro models. This unit uses heatpipes and an integrated cooling plate to transfer and dissipate heat from the CPU area while providing a dedicated thermal path for an M.2 NVMe SSD. The gray-finish assembly is designed to fit within the internal layout of compatible PS5 Slim and Pro consoles, helping to stabilise operating temperatures during extended usage.

Advantages

The GrauGear cooler offers both active and passive thermal management by coupling heatpipes with a conductive cooling surface for the CPU region and a separate interface for M.2 SSD cooling. This combined approach helps lower peak temperatures, reduce thermal throttling risk, and maintain more consistent performance under sustained load. The integrated design minimises additional space and aims for compatibility with the PS5 Slim and Pro internal mounting points.

Suitable for

• Owners of PlayStation 5 Slim or PlayStation 5 Pro seeking improved internal cooling
• Users installing or using high-performance M.2 NVMe SSDs in their console
• Players who run extended gaming sessions and need better thermal stability

When it may not be suitable

This cooling assembly is intended specifically for use in PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro internal layouts; it may not fit original PS5 models or third-party enclosures with different internal dimensions. Installation requires opening the console and basic familiarity with disassembly and reassembly procedures; it may not be suitable for users unwilling to perform internal modifications or for warranty-sensitive devices where opening the case could affect coverage.

Key specifications

• Cooling method: heatpipe-based assembly with conductive cooling plate
• Targeted components: CPU area and M.2 NVMe SSD
• Compatibility: designed for PlayStation 5 Slim and PlayStation 5 Pro internal layouts
• Finish: gray

How to use

Installers should power down and disconnect the console, follow manufacturer guidance for safe disassembly, and remove the original heat-dissipation components as required. Position the GrauGear assembly so the heatpipe contacts align with the CPU thermal interface and the M.2 cooling surface sits over the SSD. Apply appropriate thermal interface material where indicated, secure the unit using the console's mounting points, and reassemble the console carefully. After installation, monitor operating temperatures during initial use to confirm correct contact and thermal performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm your console is a PlayStation 5 Slim or PlayStation 5 Pro model and that internal layout matches installation requirements
• Assess your comfort level with opening the console and performing internal hardware installation
• Verify that any warranty implications of opening the console are acceptable

Recommendations

For optimal results, ensure thermal pads or paste are applied according to the installation instructions, avoid overtightening fasteners that could deform the assembly, and allow time for thermal break-in by running typical workloads while monitoring temperatures. Maintain adequate external ventilation around the console to complement the internal cooling upgrade.
