This week, the company rolled out a liquid cooling monoblock for Sony’s PlayStation 5 game consoles designed to make the system quieter and cooler, literally and figuratively.
While game consoles generally aim at mainstream gamers, EKWB’s EK-QuantumX CoolingStation Monoblock for PS5 is designed for experienced liquid cooling enthusiasts.
To build a liquid-cooled PlayStation 5, users must disassemble their console, extract the PCB, and install it within the monoblock, which is compact enough to fit into a regular mATX chassis.
To ensure comprehensive cooling, the EK-QuantumX CoolingStation Monoblock for PS5 covers all key PlayStation 5 components, including the AMD-designed system-on-chip with Ryzen CPU and Radeon GPU, its voltage regulating module (VRM), 16 GB of GDDR6 memory, various controllers, and even the built-in SSD (which some may deem a controversial decision since true PS5 enthusiasts use third-party SSDs that may not be compatible with the monoblock).
It requires a pump to circulate the coolant, a radiator accompanied by fans to expel heat, and interconnecting tubes sold separately.
To simplify the buildout, the monoblock has an embedded PCB that converts PlayStation’s default 2-pin DC plug to dual 8-pin PCIe auxiliary power connectors, meaning users will need a standard ATX PSU to run the unit.
