Yes your PS5 will run quieter and cooler for longer without overheating which would lead to thermal throttling, but that would only happen if your fan is crap, you have a dirty heat sync or your liquid metal has leaked from being upright.
Perhaps what he was trying to get at was that when playing God of War on quality mode (locked at 30fps) he was seeing temps at 65c and when playing performance mode with an uncapped framerate he was only seeing temps around 35c while liquid cooled?

What I was seeing was temps that would thermal throttle my PS5. Long gaming sessions of 4 + hours. I initially said I was seeing temps as high ad 63 degrees but I miss typed and it was 93 on the temperature probe I had placed in the ps5 chiplet after 3+ hours ( my usual session is an average of 5 or 6 hours).
I wasn't clear with how I was presenting my data. When talking about the effects of air cooling the cooling was related to tempatures on the die. When I was talking about the temperatures of the water temperature . Water temps were in the 30s and the die was closer to 46c.
In God of War using favor performance- high frame rate- vrr on I was seeing more maintain higher fps in my gaming sessions. Maybe using the term "a over all up lift in performance" was the wrong term to use. I used it because I feel it is a performance upgrade overall for me because I'm always at a steady cool temp and not getting it into the throttle zone any more. So in that sense I am seeing an uplift for long term use.
I do see gains with cooler temps with certain modes . The block doesn't just touch the Agpu but he the memory, caps everything on the board is touched by the block vs just the Agpu on the air heat sink. You can watch the Gamers nexus where in Steve's tear down the memory for example was reaching 95 c + . My temp probe had the memory hot spot closer to high 50s low 60s after 3+ hours.
These blocks only work on super early variations that had issues. Like it was a absolute bitch of a time tracking one down took me weeks to confirm with sellers to get one. I had a disc drive one already but wanted a digital one for updating reasons.
The set up includes a 360mm corsair rad with a push/ pull noctua fan configuration, a Thermaltake 360mm d5 res pump combo and 3 fan front in take.
You don't have to take me for my word of course. I probed the setups in 14 different places at once for many hours at at a time ( I just like to tinker like a car tuner) . In certain situations like long game sessions or uncapped modes etc I did see a increase in performance on this particular revision of ps5 boards and air flow design in the configuration I used and case design I used .
