YouTuber builds 2cm-thick PS5 "Slim" - Eurogamer.net

Ultimately, to hit that magic number, PS5's existing cooling solution is replaced with a custom water-channeling system made from copper sheeting.

DIY Perk's other main change to PS5's innards sees the removal of its sizeable internal power supply and the introduction of an external power brick to help save some additional space.

Everything that remains after that is then squeezed into an attractive copper box, which brings the PS5's thickness down from over 10cm to an impressive 1.9cm.

Granted, the enormous external power supply DIY Perks' constructs, which is designed to be mounted to a nearby wall out of sight, might be seen as a bit of a cheat given its size, but there's no denying the aesthetic appeal of the resulting diminutive, slimline copper console - even if the first attempt does end in a bit of an overheating disaster.
