ken do you have anything to say for yourself about this abomination about this travesty is in front of me right now I didn't think so hey guys this is Austin this disaster sits in front of me are some of the most popular ps4 accessories not sure unlike a game PC which you can fully customize the ps4 is pretty much what you get is well what you get however one curious about is whether any of the stuff is remotely worth it so to start with we have the Nyko intercooler so they claims that this is going to direct hot air away from the console which in theory is going to be a thing that actually could be really helpful especially with the old fat ps4 it could get really loud under load some other things that drew me to the intercooler is that this actually is fairly well engage until ps4 design so as you'll see a second here it basically just clips right on and that's pretty much it so what we can have here is it looks like one large fan a couple of smaller fans and the cool part is it actually has its own power pass-through do I need to turn this thing on or off or any extra cable it should just go on the back this just clips into place I think that actually integrates pretty well I've got to say so it's even though sort of same two-tone finish on the back you still have access to all of your ports and you can still plug in the power cable right here now I'm curious how well it will actually work but it's worth a shot so if you're rocking the ps4 slammer pro then Dobby has you covered so this is the p4 series multifunctional coolest and most exactly how multi functional it really is so the idea here is that not only can you actually get a standard you can also mount your controllers as well as some games all in the one sedan so here this is a little bit bigger this product can decrease the temperature for the ps4 effectively improving its performance and decreasing the power loss power loss so these cooling products claim to lower the temperature of the ps4 that really shouldn't give you more performance the real advantage in thing I'm going to be looking for is if temperatures come down in theory family should come down and potentially longevity of your ps4 should be improved a little bit but we'll see so this is made for everything from the fat ps4 to the slim to the pro so if you have a slim it drops in here but if we have the pro we should just be able to get it in something like this actually that's pretty well so there's nothing really holding it in besides friction on the bottom we do have those wait what it's really only pulling a little bit of air from here I mean they look like reasonable size spins but how is that going to drive any significant air flow into the ps4 next up we have something a little bit more simple this is a ps4 USB hub so as the name suggests it's free straightforward it turns the two USB ports on the front of ps4 into five so this is specifically made for the fab ps4 so in the back we have a pair of USB ports and on the front we have one USB 3 which is a pass-through and four standard USB two it should be pretty much as simple just lining it up and that's it again I appreciate how well this actually fits with the original design so even with this and the intercooler it doesn't really look like a Frankenstein I mean it was not yet now it's time for the big gun this is the donk Oh game bar now that name doesn't tell you much but what this is going to allow you to do is install a full desktop hard drive into your ps4 infinity storage super speed dissipation and stability man I am excited for this one oh boy here we go oh that looks that looks like a lot so this is going to require just a little bit of surgery on rps score however it's not going to be bad so the ps4 as well as the ps4 splendid she has port Pro all have removable hard drive so this is going to allow us to do is instead of using a small two and a half inch drive like from a laptop to actually use a full desktop drive this is feeling like a dumber and dumber idea each second so essentially this should kind of go and replace this top piece so this glossy piece right here just pops right off and inside normally he would just replace the hard drive here however it's going to be a little bit more involved with this guy so to start we're going to take out the puny 500 you can bite hard drive in favor of something just a little bit beefier so to really go all out we're upgrading this with a four terabyte hard drive however this actually supports up to six terabytes if you really need all the storage you can on top of that they actually just announced the new ps4 firmware update that will allow you to actually put games on external USB Drive if you really want to get crazy with it you can put a ton of storage in your ps4 so SATA cable in like that and i can close the whole thing up so all this is is really just a pass-through so once we're ready we just slide it in to the standard ps4 slot and screw it in alright here goes nothing so we want to run all of our power and data this little slot get around here okay that eyelashes power works now we just need to drop the hard drive in like this and a very stable but besides that you just have to attach the cable and in theory we pretty much have a four chair by ps4 oh it totally fits ha ha ha ha we've created a must dude if this is about to work I'm gonna be so happy dude this is I got to say this might be the proudest moment of my entire life this is a masterpiece of elegant Japanese engineering or that's all Ken's fault so one quick firmware update later we have the ultimate Frankenstein ps4 up and running and as you can hear kind of loud we also have the Energizer extra life to the controller so this is the doc comes with an external battery that clips on the bottom of the controller so it doesn't really get in the way when you're actually playing a game first thing I want to check to see if our storage is here so there we go 3.5 1 terabytes of free space there was so many ps4 shipping with a 500 gigabyte hard drive it can really get cramped quickly so this is uncharted 4 and it looks exactly like Uncharted 4 so I'm curious about are the temperatures I can pretty confidently say that this is louder than a normal ps4 but I'm curious what does that loudness actually does anything so the ps4 would be in a cooler and the cooling stand top out around 49 degrees with the exhaust however when you take all that stuff off and run it it tops out at about 50 that shouldn't be huge surprise so the intercooler is just adding additional fans for the exhaust it's still restricted by how much intake air can actually get into the ps4 now the cooling stand in theory would actually help things by giving it some fresh air however the actual intakes themselves are tiny and really not able to make a big so is any of this worth a kingdom so first of all the Energizer extra life doc is actually not bad the doc itself is clean but most importantly the battery doesn't get in the way it legitimately does give you extra time on the PS score which brings us to the game bar so on one hand it actually works really well once you get past the setup it's completely seamless and if you really do need 4 or 6 terabytes of storage with your ps4 that's kind of a no-brainer however if you don't need that much storage it's a lot easier to just install a one or two terabyte hard drive and on top of that the update to allow you to put games on a USB Drive is coming soon I do really like the USB hub so with the ps4 only having two USB ports especially if you have something like PlayStation VR set up those ports disappeared quickly which brings us to the intercooler and the cooling stand don't buy these the intercooler while it actually does integrate pretty well and doesn't really hurt anything I'm not convinced actually makes any difference whatsoever now the stands does give you a few options like being able to dock your controllers as well as inferior giving you a little bit more cooling but again I don't really believe it's actually making any significant difference as always always you guys need to any of this stuff will be in the description if you want to go check it out and curious what do you think about this monstrosity let me know in the comments below and I will catch you in the next one
