PS5: New model runs cooler - hardware

Sony has released a revision of the PS5 (CFI-1102A model), which is 300 grams lighter than the launch model. Shortly after the market launch, the first people began to search for the causes of weight savings. It came out that the heat sink of the new PS5 is significantly smaller than the original model.

The Youtuber Austin Evans was one of the first influencers who were owned by the new console. After he had disassembled the console, he criticized the significantly reduced heat sink of the revised hardware, which in his opinion leads to the console hotter.

CPU is cooler

The owner of the Youtube channel hardware buster came to another result with its deep-sorting tests . In contrast to Evans' measurements in which the temperature of the exhaust air openings of the new PS5 was tested, hardware busters took on the temperatures of the internal components. He came to the conclusion that the CPU of the console actually runs cooler despite the smaller heat sink in the new model.

With the tests of Hardware Busters, the CPU of the new PS5 was 40.08 degrees compared to the 51.15 degrees in the Launch model by 11 degrees coolers. However, the memory of the new PS5 became hotter with 48.2 degrees compared to the 40.88 degrees in the launch model.

You have exactly the same fans, the power consumption is about the same, the fan speed is also the same ... The only difference is the heat sink, says the conclusion based on the tests. It is obvious that the heat sink of the new PlayStation 5 works better. He is smaller and weighs the new model 300 grams less, but he is more effective.

Although a higher temperature is measurable in memory, the most important is the CPU temperature. According to my data, the new heat sink seems to be better , according to Hardware Busters. The complete video with all results for the new PS5 can you look at the following:

Further changes

Further changes were made on the new PS5. Among other things, Sony ensured that no screwdriver is needed when the hardware is set up. The base for the stand received a ribbed surface that helps to secure it by hand. Another change in the easier model is a new Wi-Fi recipient component.

The PS5 has lingered since November 2020 in two editions on the market - one with and one without disk drive. The prices are around 400 and 500 euros. Delivery bottlenecks still ensure very limited availability. But the recent sale at Amazon once again clarified that the interested parties can come with a little luck in the possession of the coveted Sony hardware.
