A gamer has presented a special project: He has built a PS5 into a PC case with water cooling, and it looks really good.
The PS5 is now in many households. However, some users complain about the noise of the console or do not like the white design. In particular, the coil whine gets on the nerves of many gamers during long use. The fan is responsible for the PS5 being so large.
A user has now presented a special PS5: He has built his console into a new case with water cooling. The result is quite impressive.
PS5 with water cooling is whisper quiet
What kind of project is this? He explained in a post on reddit that he had bought a used PS5 to save money and minimize risks. If the project had failed with the second console, the financial losses would not have been so great. Generally, there is usually no longer any warranty with a used console.
Furthermore, he stated that the performance of the water cooling is so good that he could also forgo the liquid metal on the PS5. He also explains that he did not conduct the experiment because of overheating. By the way, in his experiment he uses the official water cooling for the PS5 from EKWB, which you can buy for 800 euros
Unfortunately, the user does not explain how he converted his PS5.
What advantages are there? The owner explains on reddit that the PS5 is excellently cooled and absolutely whisper quiet. Especially compared to the standard model from Sony, he would notice that. His PS5 was indeed audible, but that was never bothersome. Other users complain that the PS5 makes unpleasant noises like coil whine or hissing during long gaming sessions.
Another user also built his PS5 into a special case. The results are also impressive. However, the final result is not much smaller than the official PS5:
