Building the WORLDS FIRST PlayStation 5 slim 

If people buy enough Darkplates will you let me keep it? :D

Lol

Nope

Will you make it in production lol

I guess I should order the black case, so you can keep the project with you,Perk🙇

Thank you!! 😄

@@DxBlack ok thx

The only problem is Copper is being corroded with LM which starts reaction with heat. Because of that most of the LM users preferences aliminum for cooling block.

Liquid metal is not recommended for a pure copper radiator, because... he gradually destroys it. Copper must be plated with nickel. In addition, liquid metal destroys soldering and makes it brittle

I literally was about to type this very thing. Ppl need to know that success does not come without some failures.

Dbrand likes bantz and honesty, linus has a good rep with them too

I'm actually super impressed with how well he navigates doing and trying things without stumbling, the relatively few failures he has is impeccable to me. Of course this is his craft and he knows it well, but I'm certain I would've stumbled several times along the way trying it.

@@vanmuhammad2227 im pretty sure the guy has (smaller) fails somewhat often, its part of the design iteration process, though maybe he is one of the people that spends a lot of time and thoroughly thinks everything out on paper first, and not figure out the problems as he works on it if he can avoid it

One of the few, but we all know that there are fails in mods like this.

Literally bro 😂😂

Lmao it's always at the end where you're not careful and just want to see the end product. Like iron man using captains shield as a leveler.

@@leephang15 ikr

I was a HP Engineer back in the day, and we had a server that I got called out to with 2 dead hard drives. (they were 10,000rpm SAS drives) and it was brand new, tens of thousands of dollars server. I came in and saw the case was off. They said that because it was in a hot room, they took the case lid off to keep it cool. I showed them the warning on the sides of the case that say don't run it with the case off for more than a moment. Then took my temperature probe and showed them the temp of the hdd, it was almost 100 degrees. I left the probe pressed to the hard drives, and closed the lid, and showed them the temperature drop to below 40 degrees in less than a minute, because now all those beefy fans were pulling air past the drives like they should be instead of through the open case. Even after me telling them what happened at head office, HP in their usual style still authorized the replacement of the very expensive drives under warranty.

Yes

No

that external powerblock though..... Kinda counter intuitive

@@itswhatever9686yes

Yes. It would cost 4 times as much also 😅

Hey

Nice try Tom Cruise

Desinc?

Jesus I love your videos man

Now that he's here, the comment section is pretty much over.

plot twist: it was intentional, there was no incident

Either way. He was still able to replace parts. That’s show much forethought.

@@jagildown the PT Cruiser was a perfect example of poor engineering when it came to engine swaps. That’s for sure

@@dr.swaster8763 ehh I guess. I doubt the entire motherboard was broken just a certain part on it. the cooler is entirely external so its more of a case of being mindful and avoiding making it irreplaceable rather than incredible forethought

Yaaaay TronicsFix! Luv your videos

Granted, it came at the cost of a massive cooling/power brick. It looks way cooler, but the volume it takes up is likely larger now than the original

bigger is better anyway. #pcmasterace lmao

@@sphygo yeah almost, but tbf it looks pretty neat

Now I am thinking maybe if he could possibly overclock the processor.

also twice as expensive

@@vhateg these mf bots are increasing everyday..

@@Grapefruit5000 both yes and no. I agree this is just moving the chunkyness of PS5 to another place, but it surprise a lot of people that the main component of PS5 is THAT slim, and moving the cooling part to another hidden place is not a bad thing for DIY project like this.

Haha

I had a lot of fun watching this

Amazing

@bocoy noiu Wait... Were you hacked in the last 6 days?

I thought the same thing. There were points "especially when the board fried" that I thought it was legit gonna end with him not pulling it off. The suspense was palpable lol I was literally biting my nails lmao

Right? I think his is the only channel where I don't even skip the sponsor spots. It's just so well integrated and narrated.

@TheCladWookie Wow, such a cool guy, you have such a wide range of knowledge my dude, cool story

well he cheated with water cooling... the only thing this does is lower temperature and a cooler look, but doesn't actually save space because the radiator and power block probably takes more space. And not to mention how expensive this is for a cooler look.

@@theRU-vidHandle It does save space though. I could easily fit those tubs and the brick behind my entertainment system, where as the PS5 itself doesn't fit in most openings standing up and is even too long to fit while laying down. And like he said, it would normally be mounted behind a television so it's not like it's actually in the way of anything.

I looked at the video and saw 29 minutes and was like "I guess I can just watch a part of it".... I watched the whole thing without realising

OMG same.

it's mostly achieved not by sony or ms, but by amd and their new silicon with smaller size transistors that consume way less power

does it not work on it's side?

@@ssanc6 I definitely wouldn’t know but if I had to guess it would mess with how the water is distributed maybe

I dont see the problem here

@@ssanc6 I think the water loop would stop working, they have to be at certain angles, because of the physics of the liquid to reach the full loop.

I’m a little split about the concept. No doubt it’s an amazing project, but essentially he just figured a way to pull out the heating and PSU from the console and hang it on the wall😂

@@arnold90 next project: building a slim watercooling/power supply solution. then we'd have (apart from the cooling) a xbox style console.

@@arnold90 exactly.

I didn't know the sponsor until the end because my RU-vid auto skips sponsors. (I don't spend money really so watching sponsors is pointless for me anyway, it's not like I'm not supporting the creators or anything)

"because failures = improvements" Been failing my whole life and nothing improves -.-

Your comments get as many likes as your videos do views.

I agree. I genuinely went ‘yes!‘ along with him at the end when it finally worked. I probably wouldn’t have rooted for it to work so much if I hadn’t seen the failure.

It barely works. You move that thing it will never work again

I'd say the total bulk volume and weight of all the elements combined is a dealbreaker. Plus such PSU can get very noisy!

Interesting how much Wi-Fi bandwidth difference between copper and plastic⚠️

@@-mrws- Ethernet is superior anyways

Also a bit of Jeff Geerling type humour with the PSU under the carpet joke...

Truthfulness and integrity are the best aspects a youtuber can have

Actually. The cooling principals based on chassis cooling was mainlined by GoPro. They use the outer frame of their cameras as heatsinks. I would imagine some inspiration came from that. Considering beginning content creators are big consumers of GoPro's.

@@DJBillionator okay william

@@statomic Well... 9 times out of 10 a new invention is not new. It's current technology melded for a different purpose. Just sayin...

@@DJBillionator Thats amazing, I should check that out as well. Ive never thought a gopro would need cooling like that but the fact that this kills two birds with one stone is just fasinating

@@SummerTime-de3sd I admire the work as well myself. And, realistically. The unit itself should be "smaller". As, high end gaming computers can fit inside a 90's HotWheels PC(Thank You Shank Mods).

I guess Sony will be 'brassed' off with this!

@@nigelturner9606 Or Brassed Away!

or copper

Who said that

Well it looks slim but in reality it became a split type AC which took more space than the original design but the cooling is great tho.

I'm sure they don't just watch the video and think, 'WOW that was so easy to make' 🤔🤣 Of course its hard, hence why its a world first.

@@raz5247 ofc they don't go "wow that's easy I'm gonna make my own", but what I'm saying is that it's much much harder than it seems. Like the cooler he designed, that probably took him a 3 to 5 full days to complete the design. If not more

@@mohammadzare8998 Yes I agree. I'm surprised no one else has come up with this idea until now lol

​@@mohammadzare8998 You don't actually think he came up with this design on his own do you? Come on now.

I wonder why he had to bridge the connection.

It's dumb, he just took out the power supply and shoved it under the table moving this thing anywhere would be a nightmare

@@stellviahohenheim cope, seethe, mald

@@stellviahohenheim what s dumb is you assume ppl go around and move their consoles every few sec, dont worry

@@stellviahohenheim most people aren’t moving their console around except maybe once or twice a year

The channel design reminds me of how smartphone makers have water-cooled smartphone parts, and it's a real flex that the cooling components are worth more than the console itself, ha, especially nice considering that value won't be lost if anything happens to the console, as demonstrated in the board replacement.

I agree, this is a very complex and difficult design to pull off. I applaud the amount of time and energy put into this, including the problems, looks amazing.

I'm with you quality content

My name.

i was thinking the same thing😆

Same, but a PC could also be small if you remove cooling and power supply. GPU is just a motherboard, cpu is already small, memory would be soldered on. Would probably achieve roughly the same result.

With the temperatures he hits it ends up being quite overkill though. The power block could be somewhat smaller given the results. An incredible solution nonetheless.

Power block could be smaller considering the temperatures

I mean if your solder joints are alright, it's not that bad... I've had to do similar things for jewellery projects.

@@Arts11234 bro...it's called a joke...

Even the greatest people make shortcomings and he humbly adds it to the scene since life is not always picture perfect.

isn't it strange that the ps5 fried just because of that? modern components are very good at protecting themselves, you can run a modern cpu without heatsink and enter windows and do stuff without it dying. Although very very slowly and it will most likely force shutdown. But frying is uncommon these days. Especially on a stock component.

I don't know why the PS5 doesn't have built in protection against overheating

@@gormauslander It's possible they do and he just needed to let it rest a few hours but who knows

it should, I bet he just unpluged the HDMI, I bet he just said it, to make the sponsor sound better, pad the video out, put up on the edge of our seat.

@@-natdog-9516 maybe so, desktop CPU can thermal throttle down to save it safe, I would be shocked if ps5 does not have that, as it can overclock it self.

@@-natdog-9516 that doesn't make any sense, the protection is built into the SOC.
