PlayStation 5 modded with liquid cooling and a kickass design
Yeah, think about it, it's been reverted back to a PC, hasn't it? haha. A Vietnamese group of modders, Modding Cafe, pulled up their sleeves and tricks to create the world's first liquid-cooled PlayStation 5. To accomplish this, they had to make a mod considerably different from what they usually do.
They designed a custom chassis and liquid cooling, in order to reduce both the temperatures and the noise generated by the Sony console. Recall that Sony's proposal to deal with this problem was an aluminum radiator with 7 6mm thick copper heatpipes together with a copper base to dissipate the heat generated; and all accompanied by a 120x45mm fan. However, despite this, Sony had to resort to liquid metal to maximize heat transfer, as "it offers results up to 86% better than conventional thermal paste on PC", according to the company.
Modding Cafe managed to integrate the PS5 hardware into a Mini-ITX chassis that features a pretty cool/futuristic design. The side panels allow you to see both the interior of the console and the generous block with the liquid cooling circuit.

The RAM on the PS5's back has been shown to be on fire by GN, and that's with probes not stuck directly on the centres because they want to leave the original paste/whatever intact for future reviews/comparisons. That and of course Soyny used liquid metal for the main SoC after they found out they cheaped out too hard and MS's is way more powerful so they had to crank up GPU clocks to the limit.
The back RAM's already dangerously hot with those measurements and I wouldn't be surprised if the centers are 25C higher, and the hot spots even higher than that. The PS5 RAM is definitely overheating, it's not within spec of any RAM I've ever heard of for normal use. Even the rest of it is not that cool.
If I had a PS5 I'd definitely want to custom cool it if I could. Just removing the plates/covers reduces the backside burning RAM's temperature by 5C. And I'd bet money it's rarely running at its max clocks, because if it was, Sony wouldn't have had to be such weasels with their marketing or even have a dynamic clock. Microsoft doesn't and still runs at higher clocks aside from on the GPU which theirs is far more powerful anyway.
Let me know when your not overheating PS5 dies, so I can say I told you so.
No it wouldn't be great because there is no overheating (I have XSX and PS5). So why pay more for no reason? Consoles are supposed to be cheap.

Agree, hot doesn't mean overheating...

You do know Youtubers sometimes dig up sensationalist problems because they need views? I watch Gamer's Nexus sometimes, but he's just a guy making Youtube videos. He isn't engineer afaik. There is no VRAM problems on PS5, there are already millions sold. There's also SpawnWave Youtuber who did similar tests to GN and found VRAM temperatures are very reasonable. So in this case I trust Sony engineer's with master's degree more than random Gamer's Nexus youtuber guy.
So yeah, you can believe who you want, it's up to you. But you'll have to wait for a very very long time for my PS5 to die haha.

You don't need to be an engineer to stick in a probe that'll be giving a ready much colder than the actual main temperature because of its location. And he is an engineer AFAIK, unless an engineering degree doesn't qualify as one by your strawmanning definition. Yes, that reading off a probe is so much sensationalization. Those damn probes, always exaggerating their already 40C too cold readings due to not being on the centre.

Yeah because engineers told to go for a specific physical design at the lowest cost possible so long as it doesn't explode are telling you that a probe saying the thing is on fire is a liar. They came to your house, busted down your door, and told you "don't listen to probe readings". And again, Steve is an engineer, as if that fucking matters. You can deny reality and plug your ears as much as you want but PS5s have already died and being insanely higher than expected temps on the RAM chips is a fucking problem.
Your absolute, disingenuous seeming, denial of the sky being blue is a bit baffling. Every single thing you said was a pretty vile strawman argument that had no value or was an outright a lie.
Your TUF 3080 would be cooler than the PS5's RAM by A LOT if you removed the VRAM heatsink portion. Since it's not a problem, go ahead and remove it bro, it's way cooler than the PS5 regardless, so it's fine, right?
That area of the PS5 board is heated so much that the PCB itself is in danger.
