PS5 is silent, impressions of the cooling system from the first tests
Obviously these are not very thorough tests, we are far from a teardown and from the precise analysis on the components that we have seen for example on Xbox Series X, but these first tests on YouTube of the console in Japan were, in effect, the first direct contact "in public" for PS5.
From Dengeki, in particular, come some details regarding the silence and the heat dissipation system, which remains a somewhat mysterious element from a technical point of view: "I want to talk about the silence of the fans", he wrote the Japanese reporter. "I think there are a lot of people interested in this aspect and I must say that they are very quiet!"
The reporter has tried the console for a long time, although only on Astro's Playroom and Godfall, but as they are still next gen games they could putting PS5's actual cooling system to the test. "I was there about 1 hour and 45 minutes", the journalist specified, "Since we were in a recording studio, there were a few things around, there were photographic lights and the temperature of the environment. it was quite loud. I played Astro's Playroom and Godfall and never noticed the sound of the cooling fans. "
The console was also not very warm to the touch, a sign that the system seems to be working properly too in hot environments: "Finally, I touched the chassis and I did not feel very hot, there seems to be no fear of the heat dissipation structure".
