From PS5 Pro to “PC5”

Techmagnet, a specialized tech content creator on TikTok and YouTube has been up disassemble the PS5 Pro to make a PC. At the start of the process, the task was rather simple: the panels and the fan can be easily unclipped, without the risk of losing the warranty, a good point according to the hardware specialist who expresses that “Sony did things right”. But the TikToker didn't stop there, as he went so far as to remove all the essential components to make the machine work. This is to transfer them to a PC case.

Some “improvements” have been made: addition of a system of water coolinggreen in color. Comments note that blue would have been a wiser choice given that green is reminiscent of competitor, Xbox. Even if many reactions to the video seem interested in purchasing such a system, we still remember that the machine is not a PC, it remains a console whose performance is well behind the capabilities of PC Gamers several thousand euros.

The PC, the unbeatable

Even if the PS5 Pro, which runs titles at 60 fps in 4K, is “the most powerful” of the consoles, it cannot compete with the PC. JV Tech carried out the test and we concluded that a PC assembly valued at €1033.80 achieves the same performance offered by the PS5 Pro. This setup may seem expensive to you, but it's nothing compared to what you have to pay for the Sony machine. In fact, the console (€799.99) is not supplied with a disc reader (€119.99), nor with the base (€29.99). Which means that with a game, the €1,000 mark is quickly exceeded.

If some persist in holding the position of the pro-consoles, it is surely for the ease of use (“Plug & Play”) and the exclusivitieseven if these are becoming increasingly rare. One thing is certain, each player has chosen their gaming medium according to their own priorities.
