What do you mean by "Turn into a PS4?"

Just remember: Random people on the internet ALWAYS know more than professionals, when someone's lying, AND can predict the future.

good luck fitting any gpu in there....

best you can do is tear open a mini pc (ergo intel nuc) and stuff it in there

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Tell your friend to google PS4 motherboard and tell you where an I7 or 970 would go. 

 

If he were to put essentially a rig in a PS4 case, that's not an upgraded PS4, it's a PC in a PS4 looking case.

The PS4 is running an APU soldered into the board with no PCIe slots. You cannot upgrade it asides from the Hard Drive.

if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.

 Lol no your friend is wrong.  It doesn't work like that. Everything is pretty much stripped down unlike a real PC.  So no PCIe slots or swapping CPU's it doesn't work like that.

NEVER GIVE UP. NEVER STOP LEARNING. DONT LET THE PAST HURT YOU. YOU CAN DOOOOO IT

Thanks mate for the idea, I just sent him a picture of the ps4 mobo.

He does this really fucking annoying tone when he says shit like "omg do you not know?" "Ahh yes you can!"

"Did you not know?! Seriously" etc etc

Thanks guys for all your input, I'm sorry that I've made a post like this before but he simply did not believe what they said.

Being that ps4 uses software that only works with specific parts so you could put a ps4 os on PC if you were insanely good at coding, but even then theres no point.

Have a good day

Upgrading your PS4 Specs I dont think so... but it got me wandering can you put the PS4 OS in a PC?

you could desolder everything on the gpu and mobo and install it on a new, custom PCB that fits perfectly into the PS4 and make a custom heatsink and fan to go with it and youll be good to go. Or you could liquid cool it. (external radiator maybe?)

 

 

But I HIGHLY doubt you have the time and energy and money to do such a thing. I dont think anyone has gone that far in terms of PC modding anyway.

Yeah my otherpost had this question too but was shot down

"not really. The ps4's software is coded to only work on a very specific bit of hardware. To do that properly, you'd have to hack the software pretty hard.

You *could* put in something else, but it would be so ghetto, and so barely working, it would be far better to simply keep it the way it is. Unless, of course, you're a world-class software developer and can create a whole new software environment on the system to accept and understand how to use the new hardware."

Sorry I'm on my phone I can't quote from another page could write it out but cbf really

Even if you could do that, imo it wouldnt be worth it in the end

Your friend is really stupid.

Like I get that the PS4 is like a mini PC. But that doesnt mean youcan put desktop top PC in a ps4. A phones a mini PC doesnt mean you can plug in an i7
