The Op tries to genuinely contribute to this forum. Then get's trolled and provoked into a reaction until he get's suspended. Trolls live to troll another day.

I don't think you, or the OP understand what troll actually means.

If you used black screws I think it would have looked a bit better. I think i'm in the minority here but I quite like the look of it, does it actually improve cooling performance at all?

Had the balls to do it at least.
I'm all for mods that actually serve a practical purpose or improve looks, this however doesn't as it's "fixing" a problem that only seems to exist in the OPs paranoid head...
The console gets warm yes, but it's supposed to within certain tolerances. I think this is why he's had the largely negative reaction.
If he thinks a PS4 gets too hot, I'd hate to see what he'd do to an iMac that's just done something intensive

Oh dear the PS4 i use is faulty then?, because the heat that comes out of the back of this console is as hot as my GTX 780 at full load, i wouldn't want to put the PS4 on a glass shelf that's for sure, i'm a tad concerned about the ethernet, hdmi and power cables they get the full heat exposure.

Pure trollage from over zealous fanboy
If people actually used their heads they'll see what a stupid mistake this was. As said years of R&D has gone into the cooling solution and ensuring the air flow/pressure works as efficient as possible. Simply openning up the top of it like that has a very high chance of hindering the balance that existed before.
And yes it's his PS4 so he can do whatever he likes, doesn't mean we can't let him know how stupid that decision is, putting this up on a public forum after the previous thread was pretty much trolling.
The point is that there was no problem before hand, he's quite possibly created one now though
Where was the fanboy in his post or is that aimed at someone else?

I don't think you know what trolling or fanboy mean, as Nismo doesn't seem to be showing either in his post.
Surely cutting a hole will disrupt the air flow/ air pressure that is created to channel air in through the sides, through heatsink and exhausted out? I know it's his choice and all but surely all the years and money spent on R&D by sony they would have implemented this if needed, my ps4 runs relatively cool and near silent (with ssd installed and all digital games) and it is a engineering marvel that they have managed to create a system a lot smaller than xbone, with more powerful (and hotter) APU and RAM and with the psu housed internally

That looks like a blower fan, like reference AMD cards, so it blows the air out the exhaust.
Surely now it's taking in colder air and blowing that through to the exhaust, I can't see why all the hate to be honest

no, a comparison would be that he's taken a high performance car and then instead of letting it using it's own air intakes/exhaust, etc he has drilled a few holes here and there.

It will probably have made some reduction in component-specific temperatures, but the issue is that instead of having air pulled in from the vents around the entire console, the majority of air will be getting pulled in through that newly-created grille so the other areas of the system are likely to be receiving less airflow.
Whether that matters or not, I don't know. Personally I don't think any of it mattered enough to do the 'mod' in the first place. It'd have been more sensible to wait at least until the warranty had expired before attempting to fix a problem that doesn't necessarily seem to exist in the first place.
No that really is not a comparison.

Just out of curiosity, have you taken any temperature readings before and after to see if it made much difference?
That looks like its mounted on the underside, and it pokes out a bit so its not flush with the case anymore, how is air getting into it? Surely it doesn't sit flat anymore and is raised a little at one end?
Still, i don't think i'd be inquisitive enough to open up a new console, nor would i know what anything is.

Looks like it's sat on small legs/stilts in his last picture.
