Cooler:
EKWB has launched numerous liquid cooling monoblocks for multiple high-end PC motherboards. But who said that only PCs need liquid cooling? 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. Yet, it will have to be installed into an mATX PC case.
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). For optimal and safe heat transfer, EK suggests using thermal paste for the SoC and thermal pads for other components.
Live Service Bad:
In the wake of the Jim Ryan era of PlayStation, while he leaves behind a successful PS5 and a string of expectedly good first party releases, attention now turns to Sony’s stated super-investment in live service games. Previously, they revealed it would be 60% of their spending as opposed to 40% going into their trademark single player games, and they have at least a dozen titles in the works.
Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier is reporting that insiders are concerned about the company’s vision going forward, where things are spread out between “seemingly misplaced bets on service games” along with PSVR 2 and PlayStation Portal, both relative niche pieces of hardware.
Sony currently has most of its big-budget studios working on multiplayer live service games in one form or another, including Naughty Dog, Insomniac and Guerrilla of The Last of Us, Spider-Man and Horizon fame, respectively. We already know about Naughty Dog’s Last of Us Factions game, one that an additional report said that new hire Bungie believed wasn’t up to par when they surveyed the game’s progress recently. While Bungie has its own upcoming service games like Marathon, that, and current live service behemoth Destiny 2, neither are PlayStation exclusives.
