A player presented a special project: He installed a PS5 in a PC case with water cooling and it looks really good.
The PS5 is now in many households. But some users complain about the console’s loudness or don’t like the white design. The coil whine in particular gets on the nerves of many players over long periods of time. The fan is to blame for the PS5 becoming so big.
A user has now presented a special PS5: He has installed his console in 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 himself explained in a post on reddit that he bought a used PS5 to save money and minimize the risks. If the project with the second console had failed, the financial losses would not have been so great. With a used console there is usually no longer any warranty anyway.
On top of that, he explained that the performance of the water cooling was so good that he could do without the liquid metal on the PS5. But he also explains that he didn’t do the experiment because of overheating. By the way, in his experiment he uses the official water cooling system for the PS5 from EKWB, which you can buy for 800 euros
Unfortunately, the user does not explain how he converted his PS5.
What are the advantages? The owner explains on Reddit that the PS5 has excellent cooling and is absolutely whisper quiet. He would notice this, especially in comparison to the standard model from Sony. His PS5 was audible, but that was never annoying. Other users complain that the PS5 makes unpleasant noises such as coil whining or hissing during long gaming sessions.
Another user also installed his PS5 in a special case. The result is also impressive. However, the final result is not much smaller than the official PS5:
