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.

Wouldn't it be great if GPU manufacturers would produce custom PS/XBOX machines? Say no to overheating for only ~50-100$ more than MSRP... unless you want the watercooled edition.

Extremely nice, one thing I would change though, the fans on the radiator, I would point them the other way around, hot air escapes instead of building it in(Despite video showing otherwise/May help in the long run).
And look at that back plate, Holy Lordy.
Amazing project, thanks for sharing.

No more clock fluctuations as it can keep the max frequency easy
