The PlayStation 5’s big cooling fan “href =” https://www.videogameschronicle.com/platforms/playstation/ps5/ “> PlayStation 5 will be optimized through online updates, Sony said.
At 120mm in diameter and 45mm thick, the cooling fan was revealed in an official PS5 teardown video earlier this month.
In an interview with 4Gamer (via Resetera), Sony Interactive Entertainment “href =” https://www.videogameschronicle.com/companies/sony/ “> Sony Interactive Entertainment’s Yasuhiro Otori said the company plans to optimize fan performance to via firmware updates.Based on data collected from individual games.
PS5 uses a temperature sensor on its Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) and three more sensors on its main board to regulate fan speed.
“Several games will be released in the future, and data will be collected on the behavior of the APU in each game,” said Otori. “We have a plan to optimize fan control based on this data.”
In a separate interview, Otori Yasuhiro, the head of the PS5 thermal and mechanical design team, said that a large fan was needed to cool both sides of the PS5 main board equally.
The engineer said that the console could have been smaller if Sony had chosen to install two smaller cooling fans, one for each side of the machine.
However, controlling multiple fans would be more difficult than the current design and would also have increased the cost of manufacturing the hardware.
Recent hands-on previews in Japan reserved special praise for the PS5’s cooling system and expressed surprise at how quiet the console runs compared to PlayStation 4 “href =” https://www.videogameschronicle.com/platforms/playstation / ps4 / “> PS4.
According to a Bloomberg report earlier this year, Sony implemented an “unusually expensive” cooling system on the PS5.
The PlayStation 5 release date is November 12 in the United States, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea. The rest of the world will receive the console a week later, on November 19.
PS5 will be priced at $ 500 / € 500 / £ 450 for the standard edition and $ 400 / € 400 / £ 360 for the digital edition, with the only difference between them being the inclusion of a disc drive in the former.
