We’ve seen players who break up PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 and use them in different designs many times before. A YouTuber who created his own PlayStation 5 Slim version managed to go viral on social media. The new generation console, which is only 2 centimeters thick, also includes liquid cooling.
PlayStation 5 Slim with 2 cm thickness and liquid cooling
Many users complained about the appearance of the PlayStation 5, asking for a more compact and slimmer device. Sony, on the other hand, said that it designed the new console in this way for the cooling system to be successful. But one YouTuber was quicker than the Japanese company to design his own PS5 Slim version.
The DIY video posted on YouTube channel DIY Perks provides a glimpse of what the possible PlayStation 5 Slim will look like. YouTuber, who managed to fit all the components of the new generation console in a box with a height of only 2 centimeters, also completely changed the cooling system.
According to the video, the liquid cooling system had to be used for the PS5 Slim. Therefore, he almost completely disabled the original cooling system and commissioned the new water-based system, which was integrated with a large external source.
Expressing that the standard PS5 is 10.4 cm thick, the video owner managed to reduce his PS5 Slim version to exactly 2.06 cm. This shows that there has been an almost 5-fold thinning.
The DIY Perks video also shows that the power supply has changed. Since Sony combined the PSU with the console’s motherboard, it increased the thickness considerably. YouTuber, on the other hand, connected an external power supply and did not use the original PSU.
It should not be ignored that the water-cooled PS5 reaches much warmer values than the original design. But according to the video, it’s surprising that even a tough game like Horizon Forbidden West can handle it.
We don’t know if Sony will be offering the Slim version anytime soon. But even if the PS5 Slim is released, it will likely need a reduction in energy consumption and naturally a change in cooling.
