Panic canceled: Smaller PS5 heat sink may be more efficient than the old one
Tests are still early, but promising

More comprehensive testing on the new PS5 model's cooling system indicates it may be moreꦇ effective at managing heat, despite being significan💙tly smaller.
put a new PS5 (model number CFI-116A) side by side with its launch counterpart (model number CF-1016A) and ran their individual components through temperature t🧸ests while playing a demanding scene from Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition, as spotted by .
While the channel found a similar increase in exhaust temperature that a different YouTuber noticed to much consternation, Hardware Busters measured the temperature of the PS5 APU (like a CPU but it also handles graphics) and found it was about 11 degrees Celsius cooler. The tests also indicated that the new PS5's internal SSD stora🐲ge runs about 8 degrees hotter, with the other measured components being roughly the same.
"They have exactly the same fans, power consumption i꧙s about the same, and fan speed is about the same," Hardware Busters summarized. "The only difference is the heat sink. It's evident now that the heat sink in the new PlayStation 5 performs better."
It's important to note for all of these results that it was just one of each console being tested. Ideally you'd have more data points to smooth out minor differences between units, but that's a tall order with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:PS5 restocks as hard to find as they are.
At least for n🀅ow, it looks like the initial panic about the new PS5 being a downඣgrade from the old one because it has a smaller heat sink was unwarranted.
Whatever model number you're playing on, these are the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming PS5 games we're most excited to see in 2021 and beyond.
