ps4 case modding

Extensive Sony R&D no match for a Blue Peter-ist armed with a Dremel, blue tack, chicken wire and some sticky tape.

thanks and it would ruin it but on the bright side, i would only need that for when it over-heats which wouldnt happen with the mod i want to do.

As much as that is probably true, electrical components do fail (even when not overheated), disc drives fail, hard drives fail etc. There are many, many reasons why you would want a valid warranty.

But if you decide to go ahead, be sure to take plenty of pics so that you can make a thread detailing the process and showing off the finished article. I, for one would be interested in seeing that.

Best of luck.
 
Make far more sense to put it into a custom case than modding the PS4 itself as its got complete EMI shields on both top and bottom that help direct the airflow. What the OP is suggesting isnt going to be effective - really should look at a teardown...

the thing that made me want to do this (other than my ps4 getting too warm for my liking) was, i searched youtube for ps4 fan mods and there is 1 a guy made on his, which is what im basically copying and he had a temp device showing atleast 20 degrees in difference around different areas of his console after doing it.
 
So what? If it dies within its warranty period, you get it replaced. If you still feel the need to mod it after that then do so, but voiding the warranty in an attempt to prevent it from failing is just silly.
 
Sounds like a truly terrible idea. If the heat is actually causing performance issues then get in touch with either Sony or the retailer and get a replacement under warranty. If the heat isn't causing a performance issue then it's not worth bothering. Consoles are very tightly designed, they're not custom PCs that can just be chopped and changed, a 20 degree difference in temperature (which I find to be a bit of an exaggeration) isn't going to improve performance at all. It's not as if you're overclocking it and need to keep the temperature down in order to squeeze out a few extra MHz.
