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.

Well this escalated quickly. GN tested 1 PS5 unit. Sony sold millions and counting. Do you realize how ridiculous you sound with these conspiracy theories? And why did you ignore my comment about another Youtuber who also did tests and found VRAM temps to be normal?

This is why you're unbelievably full of shit. Yet another completely disingenuous strawman calling it a conspiracy, it's a conspiracy as the sky is blue, but you already know that. Every single you think you say is just a dick move to try to warp the subject into meaningless gibberish. Conspiracy? God you're annoying, but that was the goal since you don't actually have a point. Just degenerate the subject into crap and pretend you believe the crap. Can't argue a point if the point is a lightyear behind buried behind infinite meaningless garbage.
GN's methods are actually scientific, using pro equipment. You mention some random YTer no one's ever heard of, provide no link, then cross your arms acting like you actually made a point. If you want to play that game why are you ignoring all the dead PS5s? The thing isn't even a year old yet. "Conspiracy", people like you have made that word completely and utterly meaningless, stop embarrassing yourself.
When yours fries, remember how far you went out of your way to troll like a child fanboy and ask yourself it it was worth it.

He means THIS guy. To be honest, he does a good job and his videos are quite informative. However, GN videos seem to get even deeper.

and you know how many of the (most likely) triple digit million customers around the world care?
probably 5.
its absolutely IRRELEVANT.
if there WAS any issue, its covered by warranty (you heard of those right?)
so how many defective units? vs how many sold?
even if 100K are broken, if i sold 100 million, its not even an indicator.
list me some global numbers from authorized/sony repair centers, and i might start to believe you...
since the 1st one came out, sony outsells xb by 1-4x.
because joe and joanne on this planet care about the titles released on those units, not the clock speeds or ram temps.
the only one with a known major heat issue, was MS with the xb.

I've always had this dream of buying an old geo metro, lifting it, putting mud flaps and some hangy balls on it with a badass truck engine. The thing might just tip over but damn would I feel like a complete human with some clever/humble bumper stickers on it.
