New version of the PS5 has hotter exhaust temps
- Thread starter sjackso3
- Start date
It's not an underrated post because the exit temperate of the air does not heat up the room faster and it's apparently not simple math for most people.
The energy that the SOC needs to put into the room doesn't change by any significant amount based on this change. That same quantity of energy has to get from the console into the room regardless.
(Unless it was sarcasm, then yeah it is an underrated post.)
Lol. Apologies. Your post inspired my post.
I thought the Home Alone reference at the end could replace a /sarcasm spoiler
Haha never apologize for success. I'm old enough to have seen home alone, but too old to have a good memory anymore.
You guys are "funny". I had three consoles myself, in my home. They all had coil whine. I went to four different friends and family members, also all got coil whine. So what are you even talking about? I have heard seven PS5 consoles in total, and all seven had the exact same issue with coil whine.
And I read similar stories from time to time, even in this forum.
Edit: Believe me, or don't believe me. I know what I'm talking about.
You have seven out of 7 million consoles. unless you have a sample size of at least thousand plus consoles all having said issue you cannot draw this as some widespread issue. Do you understand how you sound right now. Even time to time you are going to have certain people just like you that are going to be vocal about the issue Which almost always happens online most people report the stuff that is happening to them vs the stuff working just fine. Even if 10% of consoles sold have the issue they arent going to do anything about it. It would need to be in the high 30% or more of them to even say its an issue.
I don't believe you.
Unless you're literally putting your ear up to each of those PS5s.
I mean that could be that there was a bad batch that got sent to your area.
My PS5 has no coil whine.
Most people's PS5's are silent:
PS5 Owners - How is the noise of your console while playing a game?
Please respond to the poll as to the noise when playing a game and your TV/speakers muted. --- Now that the PS5 is out in the wild in the EU I think it would be useful to get some general idea on how people are finding the noise of their units, as it's become a topic of conversation. It would...

There are definitely a lot of people who have coil whine, but the vast majority don't.
No, cover all the exhaust fans so that there is no hot air escaping the console. Then it'll work as intended.
If i ever get a PS5 I am adding RGB to improve performance
This made me chuckle because i don't doubt it could be brought up in a serious post at this point.
If mine had the noise people describe I'd use the warranty. But don't expect them to replace it if you need to put your ear 3 inches from the console to hear it.
(actually my warranty was void the same day I received it and had multiple teardowns and a few missing screws now, so I'd have to replace the capacitor myself)

Some people will tell you its a design flaw with the console because they have no choice but to have the console inches away from their face to game.
Every major instance of "concern" regarding the PS5 so far (Only 100 games are backward compatible! The PS5 is actually 9.2 TF! Sony desperately upped the clocks at the last minute! PS5 is using RDNA 1.5, not RDNA 2.0! Swapping in an SSD in the PS5 is too complicated for the average person!, etc...) has ended up being a nothing burger. It is like some people are almost hoping the PS5 ends up with some crippling flaw. Until I see reports of this new PS5 model dropping dead due to overheating, I will assume Sony did their due diligence making sure this new PS5 model operates as it should.
I used to have a Radeon 295x2 running on my rig. I used to game in my small room...let just say it got HOT I'm there. Toasty in winter.
I think the biggest FUD was when Sony pulled out of PAX 2020 and GDC due to COVID-19 and a lot of people thought it had something to do with the PS5 being in trouble and that it was going to be delayed until 2021.

When people say they have coil whine do they mean constantly and under all circumstances? Because since launch I've heard all kinds of noises occasionally from my PS5 but currently, unless I put my ear to, it I don't hear anything. Nothing that rises above ambient room tone anyway.
When I have heard coil whine, it was in specific circumstances and I could even manipulate the sound by moving the camera around in game to (presumably) affect system workload.
But since the last couple of firmware updates I haven't heard any whine or even much fan noise, at least on the rare occasions I'm not using headphones.

Same, the shit build quality and obscene amount of noise was tied with Gamepass as the deciding factor as to why I went with a Series X.
I'll wait on a revision and then a while after for user reviews

Yep. The fucking morons at the time acting like COVID was no big deal and surely Sony must be hiding some kind of pre-launch failure
Hindsight thought. This was back in mid February when we still didn't know a lot about the effects of COVID or how it even spread. There was also only 15 known cases in the U.S. Nobody really knew how big of a deal it was outside of China.
It doesn't even have to be something as serious as COVID. I remember people were using some really elaborately written anonymous forum post about Sony being in trouble, the PS5 having terrible yields, and some other stuff that was tailored to sound as bleak as possible. There was discussion on this forum about that post and people using it to push FUD and to air their "concerns" about the PS5.

The fact that he thinks the new PS5 is "worse" and a "downgrade" simply because he measured a few degrees of more heat at the exhaust vents and that it has a smaller heatsink is rather ridiculous lol.The new video from Austin.

I got to the point where he said " what i saw was the new PS5 runs hotter and..." and closed the video. Clearly doesn't get that what his previous video did was wildly misrepresented facts for entertainment, which is the MO of these types of video - but doesnt own up to that in his follow up.
I generally like some of his stuff and can usually gloss over the ignorance in some of his comments (in the name of entertainment) and wrote off the previous video as that - but by posting a reply implies the videos are more than that.
I've seen other videos talking about the Austin Evans video and the lack of a full inspection of the unit. On the surface, yes the console has a smaller heat sink and he measured slight higher temps from the exhaust. But if you scroll by his YouTube thumbnail for the video, it just says "The new PS5 is worse". Of course a lot of people are going to take the bait. Based on his previous videos related to Xbox, I wasn't surprised.
???
He literally goes into that if you had bothered to watch the entire video. He goes through the criticisms that people said with his video.
So strange to make that assumption when you're the one who closed it. And I say this as someone who thinks the degrees in heating probably makes sense with the slight increase in electrical consumption (225w vs. 230w).
Austin has already been debunked by digital foundry in an article and gamers Nexus on Twitter. Not sure why you are pitching your tent on this ignorant clickbait merchant.
Did you?
Here is a brilliant take from one of my all time favourite YouTubers on why someone like Austin might have put this kind of video out.

I urge everyone to watch From the 15 minute mark onwards about how YouTube algorithm can be manipulated and can boost deliberately negative content.
It's fascinating stuff. (You might as well watch the whole video because Ann reardon is awesome)
Toxicity, doxing etc is pretty extreme for the content.
He admits it may be baity because of playing by the algorithm rules, but ultimately it's about a console degree hotter by his testing method.
Long term experience and more testing needed.

There are days I wonder if it's Xbox RROD defenders. Man I wish we all just wanted each other to play games.
Worse is a relative term. Electrics running hotter is usually worse than them running cooler. There's nothing really ridiculous about the use of "worse" here.
It might be because Microsoft with their little ressources is seen as the underdog and people rooting for them ?
I think it's sometimes important to remember we are dealing with video games here. Talk fervently and get impassioned by them for sure, but always keep in mind that these aren't life and death situations. Brands will endure criticism (whether grounded or not) and games will always be around in one form or another.
It's always disappointing when people feel the need to go and harass someone because they said something either ill-informed or wrong about their favorite product. If what they said was stupid or wrong then tbh be glad because it it wasn't it would be worse for you as a fan presumably.

I mean, it's only "worse" if you don't know how cooling fans work on electrical components. Which completely destroys the guys credibility.
I think the point is that he didn't measure the temperature of the components so even if we grant you that hotter is worse, there's no evidence yet that the components are hotter.
You just wasted time writing that post when it has absolutely nothing to do with what the user and I were talking about.
The point of discussion between me and the other user wasn't about clickbaiting. It was that the user admitted to closing out of the video before the point where Austin explained his viewpoint and reasoning for the test. In that same explanation, Austin flat out says that his error was not differentiating that exhaust heat =/= internal thermals, especially as he doesn't have access to tolerances. His reasoning was, "system runs hotter > less heat is being pulled out due to smaller size of the heatsink > PS5 uses variable clocks > risk of performance degradation over time."
Furthermore, it was an opinion, not something he espoused as fact so if you disagreed with him, cool. This makes your "tent-digging" shit so illogical. It's not even that I agree with Austin because I literally also wrote out that the slight increase in exhaust heat makes sense with the slight increase in power consumption, so it wasn't necessarily a big deal to me, but you've demonstrated painfully bad reading comprehension and changed the argument into something that it wasn't.
There's a gulf of difference between calling someone disingenuous with the information laid out, vs. calling someone disingenuous because you were too lazy to hear the full explanation.
Yup. It's literally every single little thing. Not a single component has gone by without this happening.
This.
