Water-cooling a PS5 doesn’t improve temperatures as much as you’d think.
(Image: Modding Cafe) We haven’t had any reports of the PlayStation 5 overheating (yet). However, that didn’t stop a Vietnamese PC modder from creating a custom water-cooling solution for the console. That’s right; someone has already converted a PS5 to use liquid cooling. PC Gamer reports that the mod’s creator, Nhenhophach, spent two months designing the new enclosure for the PS5 and the custom water blocks needed to make water-cooling it possible. With the new cooling system installed, the water temp stabilized at 104ºF (40°C), and the backplate was measured at a peak of 122°F (50°C).
