If you do get a decent how to guide please post the link, our PS4 sounds like a jet engine. Cheers.

Recommended thermal paste was Arctic MX4 and thermal pads https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00ZJSBRE6/ref=cm_sw_r...
Also need some needle nose pliers, isopropyl alcohol to clean residue and security torx bits (T8 and T10)

Everyone complaining the games looked like dog st it was because the stream was limited to 1080p at 30fps but apparently they had horrendous bit rate issues which made a lot of it look like 720p and janky AF.
Like the look of the console; a few decent looking brand new IPs and good to see a Hitman 3 - that and HZD2 seemed to come out of nowhere.

I'm sure the AAA games will all have their own lauch events.
Yes very true, but GTA V I would be happy with but it won't be at the launch of the PS5. So then do I play the GTV 5 on the PS4 with backwards compatibility. THEN when the PS5 version comes out do I lose all my money and stuff etc or can I just continue to play it with my current character and kit.... But I was really hoping for Fallout/Far Cry/Skyim/Battlefield/GTA to be out with release so there is a next Gen game I actually want to play when the thing comes out....

Well that was a bit of a let down really. I am hoping that in due course a few games I want to play will be advertised !
I'm sure the AAA games will all have their own lauch events. They didn't do that, which is strange. Making some fake cgi scene in time for a console launch should be a priority, first impressions count.
Makes you wonder when they put gtaV to the front as to whether the cupboard is bare for a while.
I liked the look of the Demon's Souls remake, more Horizon Zero Dawn is always welcome and the Ratchet and Clank demo looked impressive (especially as it looked to be actual gameplay) but not overly impressed with the next-gen-ness of most of the other stuff. A lot of it looked like you could do it on the existing generation, well PS4 Pro anyway.
Actual console design itself I thought looked naff but I can appreciate that's a matter of taste (the next XBox isn't exactly a looker either but at least it's not outlandish and should tuck away nicely). PS5 looks even worse when horizontal. As others have pointed out, it will be physically huge too. I'll definitely wait for their hardware refresh after 18-24 months when they'll hopefully come up with a more sensible case.
What they seem to be doing is trying to push PS4 owners to move to it by dropping support for PS4 on a lot of the big name new releases, especially fan-favourite sequels and remakes. Dodgy strategy IMO. It's like Sony want to try to pretend the PS5 some sort of radically different architecture (eg PS2>PS3) when it's basically the same underlying CPU and GPU architecture but with much more powerful, modern revisions of it.
The super-duper-fast SSD is still more marketing hype than some sort of game-changer as far as I'm concerned. Maybe we'll see a couple of titles developed to specifically use it but I doubt it's some sort of new paradigm. Also, that 825gigs is going to get full, fast, despite what Sony are saying about new games supposedly not needing to be as large as PS4 installs. So people are gonna have to get an external drive and shuffle games between it and the SSD.

Similar thoughts to here, some of it was impressive (Ratchet and Clank, Horizon), not enough gameplay, why was it a low quality stream? (Low bitrate 1080?).

There is a readily available comparison of game load times between the ps4 and ps5. Have a look, see if you still don't think it is going to make a massive difference. For me I can't wait to see a new Fallout of Skyrim where you can fast travel somewhere and it will draw the area in seconds.

Wouldn't be too hard to beat the current generation - the PS4 load speed seemed to be pretty bad even with a SATA SSD fitted in place of the HDD. Pretty sure I read that the SATA2 interface on that was actually connected through an internal USB controller. The Pro improved data transfer speeds from SATA3 disk a bit according to reviews at the time of release but even with a hybrid SSD/HDD in mine it's still not really that great, even when the SSD part is in play.For me I can't wait to see a new Fallout of Skyrim where you can fast travel somewhere and it will draw the area in seconds.
Even the cheap 1500MBps NVMe drive I have in my PC loads significantly faster than my PS4 Pro.
I suspect the perceived difference between the ~2.4GBps of the Xbox's SSD vs the ~5GBps of the PS5s is not actually going to be 2x for actual game loading in the real world.
