As you pointed out in the video: that cut is harmful for the cooling. The cooling relies on air pressure in the casing to channel air trough the heat sinks.
I would have heated up the clear plexiglass before cutting the plate then place / clamp it to the shell so it takes its shape and done it like they did the 360’s back in the day 👍🏼
So basically you paid someone a bunch of money to spray paint the plastics (and not very well ) cut a hole in the side, half way slap a piece of clear plastic on the side and ruin the thermal efficiency. Really worth it
You do realize that a majority of these otherwise questionable purchases are almost exclusively done solely for content creation, correct? Jacob R is not the only one that does (and has done) this.
Maybe cutting the plexiglass into shape and fitting it into the 'hole' would have worked better; if it was doable that is. It then would have fitted better without the need to have the magnet fails. Just a thought?
I also thought this! I wonder next how you would get it to stay on and the edges looking smooth, maybe a small ledge on the hole of the plate for it to sit on and super glue?
That crackling is probably not on purpose. Exactly that happens when you spray too thick of clearcoat over a base coat. That's why the controller has no crackling. He didn't mess it up like he did the console.
Everything aside from the paint job and that awfully implemented plexi glass, this doesn't look too bad. The paint can be fixed, and the plexi glass can be heated to mold into the shape of the ps5 to create the seal, the LEDs can be reshaped and soldiered however you like. Quite decent overall, but the price is still steep
It has potential, but $350 is steep AF. Quality automotive bumper grade paint that will not crack, including 2K clear coat and good primer included isn't going to come close to $300. Wiring in some LEDs, soldering it to the power source on the board, using a dremel tool and some sand paper, with some cheap acrylic plexiglass molded to the "wave" of the exterior panel and some magnets fixed on w/ screws(or a better epoxy) by my calculations even with my "labor" would be like $175. And that's kinda steep tbh, I'd feel a little bit like I was robbing you.
I was thinking same some people just over value their work/talent would love to get mine costomed though just not like this one the gun metal looks cool the rest I'd change
I actually kinda like the crackle effect but it depends on whether you asked for it or not, if you didnt that would suck! Would like to see how it runs on a big game and if the air gap causes any long term issues 🤔
As far as I'm aware it's due to the temperature outside/applying another layer too quickly. I had this happen to me on one spot of a controller about 15 years ago and I was pissed.
if you solder to the usb, you pull power, thus making the port useless and would basically need to cap it anways or only use it for another low power device. as charging a controller, using a wired controller, usb extended storage, or any other usb device would really be fighting over the usb port only causing more issues or potential future damage. although he could have used a smaller 90 degree usb or something better.
For what you payed, they could have painted the whole panel, both back and front for that first panel. Having a paint job like that was an 8/10 up until then. and the crackle definitely will be an issue down the road. A good clear coat could have helped prevent that when it was painted. And the glass should have been shipped removed from the console if it couldnt have been secured to the console for transit. Absolutely overpayed for this custom setup.
That’s Called orange peeling, same happens with car paint when it’s drying at a different rate over the bottom coats. Heat lamps and wet sanding between coats can help fix that. At least in my experience
I dont know how much of a affect the shell having a big hole will have on the system long term because the ps5 shell is designed as part of the cooling solution.
I think it would of been better to have the plexi glass underneath with gaskets to stop the air from flowing up!!! You could still get the same(ish) look while getting a better performing console!!
Put a heat gun on the plexiglass and it will soften and take the shape of the ps5. Awesome video. I wonder if he used the paint designed for that specific type of plastic not just generic plastic maybe Thats why the crackling. Auto bumper paint is what i would have tried. Love the show man keep the awesome videos coming! Happy thanksgiving!
I was gonna comment and say this as well. If the plexiglass discolors under the heat gun, just treat it like paint and wet-sand it/buff it, and it'll become clear again. Super easy and quick to do.
When you measured the temps you had the side on the custom where most the heat leaves facing the heat camera. Please redo the test with the consoles facing the same way. Feels like you’re trying to make him look bad though I do understand that you probably did not think of this.
The heat will always been an issue. That fan won't get the right airflow anymore. Ps5 was built with air channels. Same issue people with custom steam decks have that add more vents.
@@BouncingZeus I understand that, but it wasn’t a fair comparison. He side of the ps5 that is always going to be hotter facing the camera with the custom one
Cracking paint is a sign they didn’t use matching clear coat and paint types and too many heavy layers. Heat rises so keeping that ps5 horizontal is its best bet for staying alive.
That’s probably not suppose to be all cracked in the paint. Probably rushed through the painting process or maybe the way he prepped it for paint is my guess
Will overheat 🔥 immediately. Ps5 is supposed to push cool air through the heatsink & out the back exhaust vents...but here cool air will just escape out of the giant hole on the side with zero airflow going to the heatsink.
I think it is a nice design EXCEPT I would mount the plexiglass on the frame screw hole into the plastic and use bolts or screws also u would use a duoco app instead of just standard remote limited options ..the paint wasnt dry enough before he clear coated it and like someone else said it will mess the system up over time for overheating
not really, the fans depend on the closed space to circulate the hot air outside the console, so if you have a big open space, depending on the fans and where the space is, it could have higher temps as the cool air from the fans goes straight out the hole
The LED being soldered to the board is possible I believe it’s been don on the 360 he probably didn’t have the solder experience as that’s the solution that I came up with without soldering
Not knowing if this is a one man show or a larger business he runs (I’m assuming one man show since it was found on insta) I can give a little slack for the stuff like the plexiglass etc as well as the price. You get anything from a small business it’s gonna cost more if it’s only one guy or a couple guys doin it. All in all I think it looked great, I don’t mind an extra USB port needing to be used in the back for the custom lights tbh but that’s my own personal take on it. That’s a sick lookin console.
The cracks happened to me once when spraying clear coat over plastic that wasn't prepped correctly. I sanded it down way too smooth when I should have left a small bit of texture. Only thing to do is sand it down and respray
Great and refreshingly honest review. The console does look pretty nice however it's a game system not a paperweight. So form over function just doesn't fly the way that plexiglass cover is designed is a complete deal breaker. For what that costs he should have had a proper gasket and functional attachment. As it sits that ruins the airflow and negates most any improvement of the heat sinks over stock.
I would never buy this. People try to do stuff without thinking about the cooling. All that air gunna go out the panel on the side and not the heatsinks and not to mention now the fan can suck hot air back from the inside cause of how they made this, wow
Well, the person who modded it for you they probably didn’t solder it because they may not know how to so they went with the way they knew how to go if that makes sense also, it wasn’t painted. It looks like vinyl to me. Which would also be why it doesn’t smell like paint
Kind of cool to see this done still nowadays. I did this to alot of regular Xbox and Xbox 360 in my younger years. Wonder what kind of demand there is for this nowadays.
The PlayStation 5 that you just bought that you were saying that the paint look weird is because the person that painted it was in a rush all the words when you do paint a panel and you put Coats over Coats over Coats without waiting for 30 or 15 minutes. It will do that, we call that spiderwebs, and there's a let you know you might as well. Just send it back and let them redo it because you spent too much money. $800 in on top of it, the magnets came off. That's not even they did all right on couple stuff. But they messed up on the console and on top of that. They use cheap clear. That's not a glossy look that look like. They use the cheapest clear ever. For example, when you use a cheap clear if you ever notice a car that's the clear is coming off and the paint stays. It looks nasty luckily the sun's not gonna hit it. But I rather you send it back and let them redo it. Because you spent too much money on it. And make sure you tell them that you want to glossy. Look on the place there's a 5 not using cheap stuff on clear. Unless you want me to do it, I'll do it. Let me know and I'll hook you up on a good price
All I need to know is what type of paint the color code You do not have to send me the console to send me to panels and I'll do the best. If they decide not to do anything about it to me. The trash whoever you bought it from so does it give you a heads up? It is anybody told you about this cause. I just barely saw your video right now. If you're interested, let me know and I can fix it. But make sure you get the color code so we can do the right away. Show finish instead of the crackhead finish. What deep did all there are trying to do is try to make a quick book
Why would he make a more creative theme? Jacob specifically asked for that theme. As for the price, you have to consider parts and labour as well. Jacob knew what he was getting and felt the price was fair. The only issue was it was not packed well. The design isn't the customisers fault if that is what was requested.
Also about the usb cable it would have been really easy to just wire ground and + volts from a usb on the board or on a 5v supply also 350 to destroy a console is just sad
So one of the reasons he used glass was because glass will absorb the heat off the fan. This will keep the system a little cooler. And the magnets were probably to keep your system cool so like when you want to take the glass off to let it vent and you can just put it back on really easy
I Used the PS3 Style logo on my Custom plates though mine are gloss blacK like the original ps3, i don't know why but it looks better on the transparent plastic, also that cracking isn't a good sign i'm no expert I think it's a chemical reaction between layers of paint that shoud of been sanded and repainted in my experience thats what I had to do.
Honestly I don't like it. Computer case modder back in the late 90s early 2000s walked so molders now can run and this build ignores all of it. They could have inlayed the window with molding and used a heat gun to form the window slightly so there was less stain on the panel and that way panel is sealed and won't effect air pressure. The paint ranges from mediocre to horrendous. If I had to guess that's a type of plastidip for the paint because hypershift as an acrylic or enamel are expensive and the wrong clear was used, paint is uneven and I doubt any primer was used. The leds should have been tied into the power and mounted on the underside of the panel around the window. Inside should have been painted in gloss instead of semi gloss to reflect the leds better or better yet but more time consuming would be to polish the inside and the heat sinks so they really stand out. Payed alot of money for what is honestly an amateur job
Would have been better for heat dissipation if the cutout section had a window placed in it rather than adding the perspex/plastic being held by magnets, also, it would have taken maybe 10 mins or less to hardwire the LED usb cable to the main board, failing that I'm sure there should be a 5v rail somewhere close by, I certainly would not have made the usb cable look like a cluster F**k. Sorry Jacob, but i would be screaming for a refund as this mod was done to a standard that i would not have been happy with.
It doesn’t sound as if there was a listing promising certain specs on the mod. It appears it was just seen on insta and the guy was reached out to and asked to make a duplicate. If things like what you’re referring to were that important to your overall experience with the console, it would be something to ask when ordering since your standards compared to general PS5 user standards may be higher. If something wasn’t promised and you have elevated standards on what should be done for the mod to be satisfactory to you, either mod it yourself or ask the business you’re employing to clarify the specifications of the mod before putting in your order.
350 dollars to cut a hole in it, paint it, and run an RGB strip? That is a terrible deal even if I liked how it looked. There is, at best, 30 dollars worth of material, and I'd estimate 5-6 hours of labor on a good day. Sorry, but that's a rip off from every single angle.
Not great but not terrible I’ve seen worse modding. The cuts were pretty good I’ll give the guy that the controller was good the glass was bad the usb cable was bad and the painting was bad other than the controller.
Yea, he posted some pics of that console, and probably said he built it and said he could make another 4 u, he doesn’t know how to paint or do any custom work
Now I need a custom PS5 slim 👀

Jacob the type of dude to buy a custom PS5 console from Instagram
And make a RUclips video about it
1:45 - that color change effect would be iridescence. You can see iridescent paint used in car paints and such.
I wouldn't be surprised if the super glue just didn't cure all the way before being under stress
For once just once wanted to see this guy to buy something and be satisfied with it
I was hoping the same thing, just doesn't seem possible with this guy

I think for 350$ the modder could have bent the plexi to fit around the console.

Bruh you got fleeced 😂😂 paid 850 to have someone paint the plates not very well and cut a hole in it
I like when you do custom console videos, do moreee
The mod looks very home made
Should have just wrapped the faceplate and used a type of bolt for the plexi. That would have worked far better and no imperfections.
That’s probably not suppose to be all cracked in the paint. Probably rushed through the painting process or maybe the way he prepped it for paint is my guess
The crackle is definitely a mistake, if you don't use adhesion promotor for plastics, the paint crackles, ive done it before. Very cool though.
spot on
@JBM_Autodipz I work with paint and different applications. Plastic is so finicky, it flexes especially car bumpers.
Will overheat 🔥 immediately. Ps5 is supposed to push cool air through the heatsink & out the back exhaust vents...but here cool air will just escape out of the giant hole on the side with zero airflow going to the heatsink.
Just add a METAL spacer to glass where it bends to keep it straight
In concept this is 1 of the better looking customs, clean, looks like car paint with orange peel effect to match
I like that PS5 is more airflow if add more fan for less heat.
350 to mess up the cooling sounds like a waste and honestly I think for that price it should of definitely been hard wired to the bord rather than usb
I think it is a nice design EXCEPT I would mount the plexiglass on the frame screw hole into the plastic and use bolts or screws also u would use a duoco app instead of just standard remote limited options ..the paint wasnt dry enough before he clear coated it and like someone else said it will mess the system up over time for overheating
It looks alright personally id perfer black to go with the gun metal gray
It makes the blowing out the heat sinks a lot easier. So in my opinion well worth
the $350.
not really, the fans depend on the closed space to circulate the hot air outside the console, so if you have a big open space, depending on the fans and where the space is, it could have higher temps as the cool air from the fans goes straight out the hole
you'd pay $350 to save 5 minutes? like once a year? that just means you're a very lazy person
The LED being soldered to the board is possible I believe it’s been don on the 360 he probably didn’t have the solder experience as that’s the solution that I came up with without soldering
Heat that plexi glass up super hot then put in place to cool. Will be good to go after

Studio FR Made the original design 2 years ago and theirs is top quality, Silver and Blue
That crackle look in the paint is a bad reaction during the curing phase. I would wet sand that right back down and start again.
I hope you asked the dude who made the mod to fix the plexiglass side panel - clearly a design flaw.
should have wrapped the shield alone then place in box
This one wil play any game at 8k 120 fps couse of the lights.😂
Mannn he should have wrapped and packaged that glass plate separately.
What is wrong with people not putting bubble wrap to ship stuff especially when they said be careful not to scratch it when taking it from the box 😂
I would never buy this. People try to do stuff without thinking about the cooling. All that air gunna go out the panel on the side and not the heatsinks and not to mention now the fan can suck hot air back from the inside cause of how they made this, wow
The paint cracking can be down to applying coats to quickly or to a cold temperature. Not a great paintjob imo

$350 thats a lot of money the parts are $100 for the same frame $60 paint so he made a killing since he didnt even replace the front plate
Not great but not terrible I’ve seen worse modding. The cuts were pretty good I’ll give the guy that the controller was good the glass was bad the usb cable was bad and the painting was bad other than the controller.
No one mentioning the PlayStation 3 text? 😍
I dig it! 🤘 very cool.
The best thing to come out of that is the controller, and i can assure you it ain't worth 350 bucks
The USB is killer other than that a decent job
Cool idea and look, but definitely could of been done better. You got the prototype.
Yeah that thing is gonna over heat, it’s clear that the guy who customized it knows nothing about the engineering aspect of game systems.
Yea, he posted some pics of that console, and probably said he built it and said he could make another 4 u, he doesn’t know how to paint or do any custom work
Do you have a video of how to jailbreak a PS5 ?
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍽️
