EKWB believes that its QuantumX CoolingStation Monoblock for PS5 promises to enhance the gaming experience by reducing noise, which could distract from gaming sessions.
Pretty much just an aesthetic. If I had fuck you money, I’d definitely build something like this, but otherwise there’s no reason to. The PS4 sounded like a jet engine but I don’t even hear the PS5 over the game on a basic 5.1 setup.
I’ve never had my PS5 run hot or appreciably loud enough to want to spend a console’s worth to cool it down? Which is to say, I’ve never had it do either of those things.
It’s a neat concept but it costs as much as the console. Does the PS5 even need more cooling? The entire thing is an air exhaust.
Nope, this kind of thing is just a marketing thing. It’s got no actual use

Yeah, that’s pretty much what I don’t get.
