Gamer Nexus noted that the Memory runs hot, but they don't know the limits of the operating temperatures and they also don't know the long term testing results. It's cool to have it in mind that some components run hot, but we are missing data to conclude things.
I had a good laugh at this lmao, there are no intake vents at the bottom of the PS5 for this to do anything but make noise xD
They're not going to give a fan profile choice.
It can happen at stock clocks.
Yeah, that's what I wanted to say, but reading back what I wrote it's not obvious lol
I've built a few rigs, and I've seen this before on simply faulty GPUs. Tom's right - it's probably just a bad unit, just send it back.
Technically they also did that with the PS3, and look how many have the yellow light of death. Same thing with the 360 and the rrod.
I'd imagine so, it's not entirely unusual for tech companies to ship out hardware that is tuned for review , rather than for long term stability, so that might be exactly what they do now certain tests have been published
Oh yeah I agree. He is very thorough (and extremely picky).
Several other reviewers have show that it differs greatly between individual consoles. It's basically a lotto, leaning more towards loud coil whine than not. We have a whole thread detailing it.
I'll definitely chime in (or make a thread) if this happens.
I'm just wondering how common the ones with no whine are, if I eventually try my luck in a replacement.
I think you are speaking about the junction temperature which is usually around 110 °C (or 100 °C) for most memory modules. To measure the the actual junction temperature needs sensors in the the die or other indirect or precise and calibrateted voltage and temperature characterics of the chip. That's why Gamer Nexus describes their positions of the temperature probes.
Anecdotal, but mine doesn't have coil whine.
Coil whine is louder in person than in videos.
As someone who has had to deal with coil whine in GPUs, it is incredibly grating and is one of those noises that is at just the right frequency to cut through all other ambient sound, it's really annoying. I feel for anyone whose PS5 has this.
Reminds me of the PC port of Jedi Fallen Order lol.
I have a laptop with coil whine. An average mic can't pick it sound that I can heard from feet away.
This video details why temp tests like the one DF did are useless though. Also it's the VRAM on a particular side that are running hot but not hitting the point where they'll be damaged.
