No way the PS5 sounds like a jet engine ffs the only time I have ever hear it is when there's a disc inside

 

[Jormatar]

Launch PS5 is still silent as ever. I mean sure I could probably hear the fans if I go down and put my ears next to them. But I don't care that much.

 

[10101]

Yeah same as you OP, in the UK and was 39c where I am. I was playing yesterday and didn’t hear a thing from my PS5.
My old pro would have taken off and be preparing for landing sometime about now…

 

[Katajx]

Is that really needed if I have AC in the games room?

I've cleaned my Pro a few times, but never bothered with the thermal paste. So far the only game that put it in jet engine mode was God of War, which is weird because later on I played RDR2 on the same console and it was much quietter.

Yeah I reapplied on my pro twice and it went from jet engine to quiet. Not sure if I didn’t do it as well the first time as it only lasted a few months. Still quiet though.

 

[DragonNCM]

XSS is damn quiet.......I even wander if fucking fan even works.
PS5(Digital) also quiet but sometimes on demanding games on quality settings there is louder spinning from fun.

 

[Vick]

my ps5 sounds like a jet engine!

Yesterday:

im not buying a PS5 until they make a slim version. i dont want to have to look at that monstrosity they need to put it on a diet and get rid of those ridiculous curves

How is this kind of stuff still allowed is beyond me.. this user post history is ridiculous.

PS5 when loading up

You mean the disc drive?

No way the PS5 sounds like a jet engine ffs the only time I have ever hear it is when there's a disc inside

Same here. And that's not a constant sound. Just occasional when it reads data from disc.

 

[Mr Moose]

Apart from the disc drive when I turned it on, my PS5 was quiet. It was 32C in my bedroom at the time (according to my clocks thermometer, anyway).
The next gen consoles were really well designed.

 

[Darchaos]

My ps5 is still quiet as a wet fart! Its there, i can feel its precense, but i cant hear it. I love it! My old ps4 on the other hand.....

 

[Duchess]

I played The Last of Us Part 2 when it was hot outside, and my PS4's fan was going like crazy the whole time.

My PS5 on the other hand remains whisper quiet. I'm very impressed with the cooling Sony have in place for that machine.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Who cares honestly. The box will be cooled well enough anyway

This. Cooling matters in a server room where there are tons of units to put out heat. But even in a 107F (40C) room with a PC, Xbox and a PS5 running would be fine.
Not that it would be comfortable.

 

[Aion002]

Here in Brazil during january we had thermal sensations close to 45C...

I can't remember my Series S making a sound, quietest console ever for me, sometimes I wonder if the fan is even working correctly.

 

[hangdang69]

My PS4 pro used to do this. I ended up taking it apart and reapplying thermal paste. It made it better for a while but then it was back to sounding like a jet engine

 

[JohnnyFootball]

I've cleaned my Pro a few times, but never bothered with the thermal paste. So far the only game that put it in jet engine mode was God of War, which is weird because later on I played RDR2 on the same console and it was much quietter.

The PS45 Pro was easily the loudest system I have ever owned. Replacing the thermal paste helped a ton. I even bought a fan that was supposedly quieter, but it ended up not being quieter and was actually louder, so I went back to the factory fan.

 

[Team Andromeda]

I'm just gald I sold the PS4 Pro

 

[MadPanda]

My PS5 is silent but I have air conditioning.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Already have next gen cooling.

Also right now it's monsoon season here:

 

[TGO]

It was 39c in my room yesterday and the PS5 didn't care, no noise & the console wasn't even warm.

 

[Pedro Motta]

Share your PSN id then, and a video of your PS5 sounding like a jet engine.

Show receipts.

It's faster to catch a liar than a crippled man.

Post a video of your PS5 with your forum username written on a sticky note posted on it.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

My flat doesn't get hot (if it's close to 40C outside like today, inside it's like 25 at most), so the Xbox stays as silent as ever.

Mine stays silent too.

Spoiler

 

[RoboFu]

I’ve got a family room in a finished basement which pretty much stays the same temp all year round.

 

[Sgt.Asher]

Sort of related, but does anyone know if waterblocks for gpu cooling have gone down in price with the crypto crash?

 

[Beer Baelly]

Already have next gen cooling.

Also right now it's monsoon season here:

Which hotel in Tokyo do you reside

 

[Skifi28]

I rarely use AC and my house temperature hovers in the 30-32 degree range. PS5 has remained as silent as in winter, I'm really impressed.

 

[Pedro Motta]

Which hotel in Tokyo do you reside

Are you ignoring us?

 

[Beer Baelly]

Are you ignoring us?

I'm not at home. My PSN is Arnos_NL

 

[Evil Calvin]

75 degrees inside morning noon and night. 100 outside!

XSX and PS5 completely fine

[bentanchorbolt]

Man... that temperature and no A/C? Got to ask, whereabouts do you live? I've heard lots of folks in mountainous/higher elevation areas don't have A/C.

Lowland dweller here. Frequently gets above 100 where I'm at, heat index over 110 several days out of the year. A/C is pretty much necessary

Western Washington. These temps are not the norm. 98 is like the highest it gets here normally and only for a day. Our summers are like 6 weeks long with temps in the 80s usually.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Xbox One X and Series X have been deadly quiet. Cant even tell they are on. They might be the quietest optical drive consoles I've owned.

 

[Rockondevil]

That's a common temp over here in northern Australia and my console runs fine. Sometimes I do wonder if I should put the AC on for it, but I haven't.

 

[three_muffins]

Basically : On winter game with a full fat gaming rig as a heater. Play the most demanding AAA games. In the summer, game on your phone (Xcloud or emulation) or something like a PS2.

Yesteray my phone (galaxy a71)shut itself down because it was too hot (40c)

 

[flying_sq]

My PS4 Pro used to make a bunch of noise, but I took it apart, put liquid metal on it, and cleaned out anything I could. I can't remember the last time I heard it when playing a game.

 

[Moses85]

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

My Ps5 died, during gameplay and it just turned off forever, it was just 28⁰C.

Sorry for that.
Just curious: was it the first revision or the second with the smaller heatsink ?

 

[adamsapple]

I haven't done anything extra beyond keeping my consoles in a well ventilated, open, space.

Haven't launched my PS4 Pro since Horizon so I'm not sure how loud that's gonna get by the time I run GOW: Ragnarok on it.

Xbox has been whisper quiet since day 1. The vapor chamber cooling is incredibly effective.

 

[Neff]

PS5 hums very, very quietly. You have to listen for it and be close to the unit, but it's there. It's still practically silent compared to my PS3, PS4 or PC.

Series X is completely silent, but I haven't got any graphically intensive games for it yet, I'm mostly just playing Retroarch and 360 games on it.

 

[Paulistano]

Sorry for that.

Launch model and sony replaced it under warranty.

 

[JLB]

me right now

 

[TheGodfather07]

the only time I can actually hear the PS5 is when the disc drive spins and that only lasts a moment. So glad sony finally sorted out the noise issues from their consoles.
