You mean PS5 Non-obese size.It would be really early for a pro but I could see a 5nm slim version already.

You probably have a Nidec Fan (17 blades) like me. I am considering buying a quieter fan with 23 blades to deal with it. Like this one (screewdriver included): https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09HWRFJYY/?tag=b3d-21I'm no longer a pleb; got a PS5 from Sony yesterday through their PlayStation invitation thingy. However, it's far from silent - the fan has a very distracting pulsing I find more bothersome than any other ordinary fan white-noise. Anyone else have this?
Seems I'm just out of luck:

I genuinely consider this problematic. The pulsing was incredibly distracting. Maybe I'll just have to use long HDMI cables and stick the machine in a different room!
I never gave attention to it. I dont remember a single noice. Now I wonder if it was because it was completely silent. Curious to be more aware of its probable noises now.My launch PS5 is basically un-noticable, having had a base PS4 before its a true improvement. Thought to have coil-whine in some instances, when it happens it can only be heard at certain angles/distances. The fan while not silent is quite enough to have the unit in the living room, again the PS4 was very loud in certain games (like Doom).
Oh and, it seems louder now then when it was new, but theres probably dust in there now.
Yeah. So frustrating. We have this with TVs etc where they'll chance panels and you might get a different product to some other that's been reviewed. Seems dashed unfair to me, plus poor form to source and use shoddier components. 10% of the console price just to make it as described?! Bonkers. Plus need for tools. At least it's easily serviceable and apparently doesn't void warranty.You probably have a Nidec Fan (17 blades) like me. I am considering buying a quieter fan with 23 blades to deal with it.

I seem to have struck lucky with mine, apart from one occasion when it spun up to turbo mode at boot, it's been silent. Even when I have left it switched on for days at a time - and that's because I haven't remembered it was switched on because it's so darn quiet!

Congrats and welcome to the world of drastically-reduced load times. If the fan is really bothering you, replacing it a 30 min start-to-finish process. iFixit have a good guide. If you're familiar with how a screwdriver works, this is a ten minute job.Pleased to report I just powered it on to download NMS and the Matrix demo and realised I wasn't noticing the fan noise in the console's slight reposition. I can hear it, but the pulsing is now more an amplitude oscillation than a tick and more readily lost against game noise.
It was softly da..da..da..da..da..da. Now it's more wa..wa..wa..wa..wa..wa.By pulsing do you mean its speed is ramping up and down? I hear some noise fairly typical of a ball bearing motor but its speed rarely changes.
I'm largely using the PlayStation surround Headset from PS4. And yes, the da..da..da..da..da..da.. on first play was sensed through the headphones and distracting in a "bugger this!" kind of way. But yesterday, it wasn't an issue at all. So happy bunny here now.What setting do you use the console in? Home theater?
Yeah. It's an odd situation really. Frustrating and unfair that Sony provide fans of different quality, but they've made the parts replaceable without voiding warranty. Although I saw something yesterday that those 'warranty void' stickers are now illegal as of a couple of years ago? Is this companies being forced to make their wares somewhat user serviceable?Congrats and welcome to the world of drastically-reduced load times.

They all have to as it's a requirement by certain countries laws afaik.Is this companies being forced to make their wares somewhat user serviceable?
There were PS5 with BD drive at MSRP a few days ago, but I say 'nah, I'll wait for the no BD driver version'.
But just checked.. And the no BD drive version has been out of stock with no new stock replenish, ever.
Aaaaarh
It does lock people to buying network content though, which should mean higher long-term revenues I'd have thought. Indeed, the situation could have seen deliberately tying more people into a download only console as the only option to get a PS5 if they were produced as a significant proportion. From that perspective, seems odd to me Sony didn't try for that.Yeah, I wouldn't get my hopes up on the no-drive version of the PS5. Sony make a very limited number of those as the cost reduction of not including a drive isn't even remotely close to it being 100 USD cheaper.
