I'm so glad you included the first "failure" -- where you overheated the original motherboard. That's what makes your videos so much more enjoyable to watch compared to others. I like to see "normal" people struggle, fail, then succeed at building something like this. Nice work

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 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.

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.

[@PixelTrooper]

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.

[@juanmanuelperea]

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.

[@raskolnikov6443]

[@el_mal_de_ojo]

This has to be the ballsiest project you've done. The approach to making it air-tight seemed like such a gamble, regardless of how much planning went into it. I was actually surprised that it worked, but it just shows that the 'measure twice, cut once' (or likely, measure 20 times) mantra works - plan it out to the last millimetre.

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.
