It's not rocket science to watch the video and listen to the part where he specifically mentioned that he's had it out of the TV cabinet and it was still loud.
If the back of your cabinet isn’t open, that’s the issue. I deal with airflow and hvac. The design of exhaust ports on the back, along with the high rpm means you need clear access from the back for exhaust venting. Get it out of there, you’ll see a difference. Unless you’ve toasted it already. Which is fairly easy to do with heat.
@@vicentelopez2566 Yep, same here… I took mine out of my cabinet and no more noise… I built my cabinet, and will probably put a fan at the back. That should completely fix it.
The heat goes out the back , with the unit being closed at the back you are feeding hot air back into the system. I have my consoles on top of the desk next to a window and when the fan kicks in open the window and let cold air in. Works every time
Exactly lol, i was thinking the same thing. If you owned a gaming PC this would be a no brainer. These consoles aren't the yester years ( Ex: PS1, or PS2 ). This is what PC gamers deal with when gaming, and these new console act more like a PC with a unique OS.
And it's so important to give these consoles a break! I never play for more than 70 minutes at a time. Sony was supposed to solve the problem of graphics cards running so hot, but instead created an ugly console designed to dissipate the incredible amount of heat better than the PS4. It must be kept vertical on it's stand out in the open, or it will eventually break like the guys in the video soon will.
my pc also blow air out the back, but it is gettin cold air fed by front fans, the question is also where is it gettin fresh air from? if its getting it from the front the warm air shouldnt be fed back into the sysytem worse case ambient air around is couple degrees higher. but that should be enough space for a liquid metal console to be cooled.
My ps5 slim sound loud too. Sounds quiet on the ps5 homescreen and even when I started playing spiderman 2 and I was on the title screen it sounded loud.
@UniversalStand how's the man lying? He's literally showing video evidence. Mine does the same thing. I have a similar enclosure except it stands up vertically. Both my Slim and Fat PS5 will run quiet when I sit them out in the open and both will ramp up the fan inside my entertainment center, but the slim will be considerably louder to the point where it's somewhat concerning.
I’m considering a purchase of a Slim PS5, thanks for the insight and real-life use example. I did check the manual online for the CFI-2015, though. Page 6, Setup and Handling; “Do not use the console in a closed cabinet or other locations where heat may build up.” Page 12, Vents; - Place the console at least 10 cm (4 in) away from a wall surface. - Do not place on a carpet or rug with long fibers. - Do not place in a narrow or cramped space. - Do not cover with cloth. - Do not allow dust to build up on the vents. Use a cleaning tool such as a handheld vacuum cleaner to remove dust buildup. It would be worth the time to attempt to address these variables before writing off the unit as a dud. I also wonder if that 4 inch clearance also applies to the top and sides of the unit? Good luck bro

I noticed that too. I had my p s five slim for a bottom month before I noticed the noise. I ended up getting a replacement from the fat model that I had because it went out a month after the warranty went out in gamestop. I did the v extended warranty and got the replacement slim for it. Anyway, I quit playing tekken 8 for the evening and when I quit the game I noticed the console noise bogged down so I. Relaunched the game and the noise kicked back up. So it definitely does spin up when the game is launched. And it does spend faster at times to help compensate the cooling of the slim. And based off where the heat sinks are. If you look at a tear down video one is like towards the front of the console while the second heat sink is at the back of the console which is why the bag of a console's really hot and the front of its fairly cool. So I really think it's just the way. There's slim is designed so it very well could be a patch that a help with the fan speed. Slash noise, but who knows. I've also seen videos of people. Removing the fan and putting like 5 mm. Six millimeter oh rings in between the console and the fan housing to help mute the noise. The way I see it the way the PlayStation, 4 was on the fan noise and heck. Even going back to the old Xbox, 360 console. Now those were fricking loud, even the PlayStation 3 was loud imo. But the PlayStation 5 slim is nowhere near as loud as the PlayStation. 4 in the old clock 360. But you can definitely hear the fan for sure

This Christmas, we were lucky enough to finally pick up both a Xbox Series X and a PS5 Slim so we are in a good position to compare latest builds. The X Box is silent even when playing Forza for ages....amazing really. The PS5 Slim is silent when starting up....however, launch a Digital game to eliminate drive noise (from disc spinning) and immediately the fans kick in....not overly loud but much more noticeable compared to the X-Box. Both units are not in a media cabinet with plenty of air flow. When playing Spiderman there was a constant "whine" from the PS5. It is early days but I need to get more testing done (it was enough to annoy me even with sound on). My son is on the X-Box most nights so I have not had much access to my PS5. On first impressions I'm far more impressed with the Xbox hardware. I will update comment once more testing performed
Bruh. You can't be serious? Get that thing out of there. I've had mine about the same date as you and my slim is super quiet. Far more quiet than my OG PS5. Mine is placed out on the open and vertical. If you had 3 of them replaced.... It's the damn placement.
I had the same issue. People saying it’s because of the space ignore them. They don’t know what they’re talking about. I had mine in an open space and was still loud on just the Fortnite lobby. Exact same scenario. I love PlayStation but people gotta stop justifying mistakes. Thank you for sharing this
@@spastischebiem1388mine just makes a sound when it turns on/booting up a game but it then it just fine after that it doesn’t make a sound during the game
You clearly have no idea how ventilation works. There's nowhere for the hot air to escape so it bounces off the back if the unit then gets pulled straight back in as it passes the intake
@@iainmclane9894 they are talking about the fan running fast because the system is getting hot. But that's because they have it in an enclosed space I know what you mean though. That ringing noise isn't an Issue as in your system gonna die issue BUT it's a fking annoying one lol. I hear it more on certain games like the map screen on ff16 It's the PSU. There are 2 blue metalised film capacitors next to each other and one of them makes a noise because it vibrates. Totally normal but Yeah annoying as hell. You can remedy it by jamming some card or rubber I'd Go rubber because it will absorb the vibration better
The slim puts out more heat than the other versions.. that space doesn't have enough of an opening for the heat to escape.. I have the slim. I got it in the Mw3 bundle and have played it every day for a few hours at a time, no issue..
I don’t know if this helps for someone but here’s my experience: I got my ps5 “slim” one week ago, I had it set it up in a place like this guy, it was even bigger, 20 cm free on both sides and 30cm from the rear wall, I HAD THE SAME ISSUE, exactly same sound, yesterday I put it on top next to the tv and omg, problem fixed. The problem is when you have the console in a closed space where the hot air can’t escape, doesn’t matter how big the space is, if it’s closed on the back the air will return to the console and that’s why it forces the vents to get it cooler. Get that console out of there
I originally bought my PS3 slim when they were only out for a month and it still works fine now BUT the chassis sometimes makes loud cracking and snapping noises when it heats up. I don't know how common this is.
So far I'm not having this issue sorry to hear anyone else is having this problem though. These system's are very expensive so that kinda money down the drain is never good.
The fan is smaller so wouldn’t it have to be louder to compensate for the same amount of airflow? Smaller fans have to spin faster to match a bigger fan’s performance.
When Linus tech tips did the sound test he said that it was slightly quieter then the og but that it was slightly louder coming from the disk drive. This guy didn’t mention if he was playing a digital game or using a disk. I have the ps5 digital only slim and it’s just as quiet as my fat distal ps5 that I got back in feb dude
Bonjour, son emplacement dans le meuble est beaucoup trop fermé, il est préférable de mettre la machine à plat sur une table bien aéré tout autour et au dessus. Et nettoyer régulièrement l'intérieur sous les plaques et dans le ventilo. Le seul bon point est qu'elle soit allongée, ne surtout pas mettre ces consoles debout
its actually quite normal, considering that they crammed same specs of original ps5 into smaller space. i'd say this was quite expected. sure would be nice if no noise but... thats the tradeoff
@@imGreeddyy But they put in a smaller motherboard, changed up the heat sinks and everything to fit into a smaller form factor. Hopefully Sony can fix this with some firmware updates. Probably has something to do with the APU heat probes and fan curves they programmed in.
So after investigating all day, I can confirm that the Slim still uses 4 brands: Nidec, Foxconn (plain motor), Nmb (3 branches motor), and Delta. I've seen them all from videos except the Delta but in Reddit people claim they saw it too. The difference is that in the Slim CFI-20xx, all of them now come with the same design and number of blades (19) but still have different sounds, despite Sony apparently trying to unify its fan design. I can also confirm that on my Japanese Slim (CFI-2000) I got the Nidec fan (8 dots on the motor, but no branding like on the OG PS5). The idle sound on mine is greatly silent, but the in-game sound not so much, it still have the UFO-ish sound, but not as bad as the infamous 17 blades of the OG PS5. I'd say it's much closer to the Nidec V3 (which makes sense since it's chronologically the closest fan to that one), and it's acceptable. I'm not gonna bother getting another fan or console, since this time around, in the case of the PS5 Slim, it's another model than the Nidec that seems to be the worst from what I read in reddit and UA-cam, although people didn't check the branding. So @The Stack could you please check what model of fan is this, since that would help, you can do it by simply remove the cover on the NVME side and describe the fan's motor.
I had a PS5 digital edition that had coil whine and it was in an open space with plenty of ventilation. However, this seems to be a fan issue rather than coil whine.
Dude, this is the worst revision since the PS3 top loader. I have a 1200 model and sometimes I need to slap my PS5 so I can hear it's alive, it's so freaking quiet.
Had my ps5 slim since November 23, and it’s now having overheating issues. Shutting down as soon as it’s loaded up, saying too hot. Yet it’s in a well ventilated area and no dust in or around vents. Trying to get it resolved via warranty, and the model number isn’t recognised when requesting a repair. Feels like a scam!!!
I think it’s honestly the placement in your cabinet. Sure, the fan is designed to handle the internal heat of the PS5 slim, but the air and the PS5 in the cabinet also heats up and doesn’t get cooled down enough contributing to an overall gaunt of the “working climate” of the PS5. Hence he added fan activity.
@@baileybryant42 Sony was supposed to solve the issue of graphics cards running so hot, but instead they created an ugly console designed to dissipate the heat better. It HAS to be kept out in the open, horizontal on it's stand, or you will eventually break it.
In the ps5 slim they used a more aggressive fan . So it's louder Because its a more aggressive fan as it speeds up it will make more noise. If you recall the ps4 slim had same noise. They have to have a more aggressive fan to cool with less space and heat sinks .
This ain't true. The reason it's so loud in the video is because where he placed it. The ps4 slims came with crappy thermal paste from factory and if you replace the thermal paste properly, the console will quiet down.
I’ve had a phat ps5. Just got the slim and it’s quieter. Mine is out in the open. Not sure if it’s the reason. I’ve also heard Sony has different kinds of fans.
Interesting. I also have the original PS5 and it's whisper quiet, just like my Xbox Series X. I bought a digital edition PS5 as I was thinking of trading in the other one, and after I set it up I noticed a bad coil whine which also made a low vibration noise. I immediately sent it back to Sony and kept my original. So it seems they have some quality control issues with their consoles that isn't consistent. I think the majority of them are ok, but a select few will have some defects.
Same thing for me, my new one kept shutting off so I swapped it out next day. I also got the $45 replacement thing and GameStop was great ! I wouldn’t buy a console elsewhere. The new PS5 seems to work ok now
I had the same issue went through two slims mw3 bundles and they were this loud but worse. I kept my og ps5 because it was bearable Sony needs to address this
when it comes to Pc, usually the fans kick up when the cpu is hot, put that console somewhere else for a day or two. if it's the same bs then yeah. could be a hardware issue.
I keep my OG PS5 vertical on an open desk so I know it's got plenty of breathing room but a family member keeps theirs enclosed in a much more cramped entertainment center than shown in this video and they even play it with the cabinet door closed. The unit seems to get very hot but handles it OK (so far). I think he's got plenty of air moving around that PS and it's probably a Sony firmware issue.
Bruh you tripping. I’ve been a gamer since 1987 and we true gamers know that’s not enough air breathing. We learned from mistakes not what somebody said. Just take it out and stop complaining. It’ll be just fine.
Hello ! The problem is that your console cannot be ventilated !!! If I see correctly, your TV holder furniture is closed at the back. This is very dangerous for the consols And only use it vertically. Important You purchase inmediatly one vertical stand. On the vertical mount. If the console is horizontal. The TV Stand furniture is placed reflects the heat back onto the console. It is also important if it overheats, if possible, save the game and exit. Then turn off the console for at least 1 or 2 hours. The owerheaths Is very dangerous all consoles PC-s and IT systems I hope I could help. 😊😊😊 ❤❤❤+++
Is it downloading or installing stuff? Maybe they just need an update for the fan to chill out when not in heavy use. Try a restart or a reinstall, or try a different game besides fortnite, And see if that works. Hopefully it just needs an update to fix this bug.
I'm having the same issue, the noise only kicks in when in game. And I keep my ps5 slim in an "open" environment (on top of the cabinet) close to my TV
Get the G-Story fan but make sure you have the Original Panel on the opposite side so you don't lose the air that you are pumping in . I have the Slim Version yes it gets hot cause it's smaller and still produces the same amount of heat as the tall one . And buy the Scryer Artic cooler for the rear to help exhaust the heat . This will give you more air flow .
FYI: the fan in the slim is smaller than the one in the phat by almost 2 mm so it is a more noticeable sound when it's running. As long as you are not getting overheating warnings it is fine. Also Sony's recommendation says do not place the PS5 Slim in any enclosed space if the cabinet you're putting in does not have an open back you should not be putting it in there.
interesting coming across this vid with similar experience with my XBOX . you mentioned GameStop so that right there is a red flag. I paid for a brand new xbox where you can hear the game but can't see it. I returned it to GameStop for an exchange and the it had an issue where the CD Rom was damaged. So I had to do the next best thing rather than return the console back to GameStop I sent it to Microsoft for them to send me a refurbished but fully working console. In the end I paid full price for a refurbished one. I highly recommend anyone to avoid any hardware from GameStop, I feel they're on some sketchy sales practices. I believe somehow they swap out returned consoles with the new ones and make like the new one as the damaged one, who knows if they get employee discount or even five finger discounts. walk out with a brank new console. I'm aware of UPC codes but this is just what i think is happening with GameStop. Anything can be altered and made to look legit, just keep that in mind.
I bought the slim digital, I haven't even had it 48 hours and twice, I got the blue light of death!! I had it on my computer desk and the open and still did it. I ended up taking it back and just getting the original bigger version.
Your problem is that "you have a PlayStation 5" 20 years ago Xbox had overheating problems, today it is the Play 5 and apparently not even an improved version solves the problem of many.
Had my ps5 digital since launch day back in 2020 and I still have never heard the fan make a sound!!! I’ve never heard 1 sound from it but these slim models are just like the ps4 pro just a hair dryer
Let’s see what a fat ps5 does in there, prove it. We have 3 PS5s, one being a slim in our house and because we put them in well ventilated areas we’ve played a ton of different games and we don’t have this issue. If the fans ramping up that badly is that big of a concern THEN MOVE IT OUT OF THE ENCLOSED SPACE
Picked up one a couple days ago. Seems ok so far. But I keep mine on top of the tv stand in the open air. However gonna hang onto my OG-5 for a couple months just for peace of mind. Had to buy mine at LameStop too. Only place in town that had them. I hate returning stuff there.
@@Luther1298 In my experience I can tell you that it is not noisy, only when it copies the game from the blue-ray, but that is normal, but then it is very quiet, I think that the slim version does not have the coil whine problem that the og has.
The weird part is i didn't have any issues except that i had problems with minecraft ps4 on ps5 for a few hours and then Minecraft ps4 on ps5 started running normally again
Turn the aircon up 🤣 I predicted the first slims would see problems just like some of the original fats did in 2020 until they revised them last year .
OF COURSE LOL the slims are NEVER upgrades. they are always mid cycle cost cutting measures that usually screw people over. the originals are usually what you'll want to have. Unless we're talking about a good company like steam where they'll refresh and update mid cycle with barely an announcement towards a better product. Generally everyone's trying to make money, some just do shitty stuff to get there.
Have you opened it up? It was only an issue for me once and I reconnected the fan and it stopped. Just take off the cover unplug it clean out the space where the fan was, the vent inside, then add the fan back. Or try running it without the top two covers. They sell open covers aftermarket that also are matte finished.
When it's slim, that means the console don't have enough space to cool the heat off. One way is to put a fan behind the console and best if you can play in an airconditioned room.
@@JokerX350FALSE , I’ve owned multiple Ps5 consoles and there’s 3 different fan models randomly in each. Some are louder than others. I now have a slim and it seems to be a little quieter than this guys
Notice that he had a game running while the PS five was turned on. I bet you that the inside of that room is hot and he’s had that PlayStation running that game for hours. That is going to crank up the fan speed of any console, no matter how new it is, and no matter where you position it.
I only got my ps5 slim yesterday, but the fan kicks in, but then when I turned it off and then went back on later, the fan doesn't even work. I don't know what the problem is.
@@pgs2043 it's pretty obvious what he meant; we want to see how the console performs playing other games, or if it only makes that fan noise with Fortnite.
I just bought the 5 slim digital and within a couple of hours ..it started making the same noise that s in ur video .. any updates on this ? should I just cancel .. coz I returned it and they said they will check it .. can it be fixed or should I just get a refund ?
Mines exactly the same. I've tried sitting it vertically, horizontally. It just ramps the fan to 100% and it doesn't slow down until you close the game. PSVR2 is the same. It actually turns me off wanting to play it.
I think this place when hot air can't go away from console and put it again inside thats why work so loud. PS5 FAT had bigger heatsink and maybe was better here.
The issue will still continue as long as you don't give the PS5 some room _in the back_ where the heat exhausts. Not rocket science.
Lmao not rocket science killed me 😂
It still shouldn't be that loud. Also, if he sets it up in an open space and it still makes that noise then that debunks your theory.
People are allowing plenty of space and still saying the fan kicks up loud, so it could be the fan size issue and it’s just not venting as good …
It's not rocket science to watch the video and listen to the part where he specifically mentioned that he's had it out of the TV cabinet and it was still loud.

This Christmas, we were lucky enough to finally pick up both a Xbox Series X and a PS5 Slim so we are in a good position to compare latest builds. The X Box is silent even when playing Forza for ages....amazing really. The PS5 Slim is silent when starting up....however, launch a Digital game to eliminate drive noise (from disc spinning) and immediately the fans kick in....not overly loud but much more noticeable compared to the X-Box. Both units are not in a media cabinet with plenty of air flow. When playing Spiderman there was a constant "whine" from the PS5. It is early days but I need to get more testing done (it was enough to annoy me even with sound on). My son is on the X-Box most nights so I have not had much access to my PS5. On first impressions I'm far more impressed with the Xbox hardware. I will update comment once more testing performed

I had the same issue. People saying it’s because of the space ignore them. They don’t know what they’re talking about. I had mine in an open space and was still loud on just the Fortnite lobby. Exact same scenario. I love PlayStation but people gotta stop justifying mistakes. Thank you for sharing this
I see... but does it hurt the ps5 or is it just sound because I don't really mind it than because I use headphones so I won't hear it anyways
@@spastischebiem1388mine just makes a sound when it turns on/booting up a game but it then it just fine after that it doesn’t make a sound during the game
You clearly have no idea how ventilation works. There's nowhere for the hot air to escape so it bounces off the back if the unit then gets pulled straight back in as it passes the intake
@@majorasspain5341had this exact problem is open air cool environment. It’s an internal issue causing the ringing. Not ventilation.
@@iainmclane9894
they are talking about the fan running fast because the system is getting hot. But that's because they have it in an enclosed space
I know what you mean though.
That ringing noise isn't an Issue as in your system gonna die issue BUT it's a fking annoying one lol. I hear it more on certain games like the map screen on ff16
It's the PSU. There are 2 blue metalised film capacitors next to each other and one of them makes a noise because it vibrates. Totally normal but Yeah annoying as hell. You can remedy it by jamming some card or rubber I'd Go rubber because it will absorb the vibration better
What’s the purpose of getting the slim if you can’t place it on your shelf because it will get overheated and the fan gets loud?
Me who’s been dealing with the PS4 Pro’s F/A-18 sounds
Crazy how reviewers are the only people seeming to have this issue 🤔
I’ve seen external fans to sit right up on it and assist with additional cooling, to prevent the PS5 fans from making that much noise 👌🏽
I feel your pain bro, I went and sold my OG PS5 for 350 and got a slim for 550, and it sounds like there is a hoover in my room

Its because your ps5 cant breathe is has to have spaces at the back
It has space and it's not in a Closed cabinet. Also watch at 01:51 same issue sitting on top of cabinet
Wrong
The slim puts out more heat than the other versions.. that space doesn't have enough of an opening for the heat to escape.. I have the slim. I got it in the Mw3 bundle and have played it every day for a few hours at a time, no issue..
its not that..enough. its a big ass opening.
I don’t know if this helps for someone but here’s my experience:
I got my ps5 “slim” one week ago, I had it set it up in a place like this guy, it was even bigger, 20 cm free on both sides and 30cm from the rear wall, I HAD THE SAME ISSUE, exactly same sound, yesterday I put it on top next to the tv and omg, problem fixed.
The problem is when you have the console in a closed space where the hot air can’t escape, doesn’t matter how big the space is, if it’s closed on the back the air will return to the console and that’s why it forces the vents to get it cooler. Get that console out of there
that is not enough space for console to keep cool which is why the fans working overtime
i always avoid 1st iteration of every console release, they always have some kind of problems!
Even Slim models 😂😂 since I own the 1200 model and it's perfect and quiet.
I originally bought my PS3 slim when they were only out for a month and it still works fine now BUT the chassis sometimes makes loud cracking and snapping noises when it heats up. I don't know how common this is.
Except this is the 3rd revision.
No
@@pixelmentia no it isn't. This is the first model of the PS5 slim.
So far I'm not having this issue sorry to hear anyone else is having this problem though.
These system's are very expensive so that kinda money down the drain is never good.
I also got the same version of the PS5 as you by the way.
The one problem I did encounter was with storm connections which was stuck on the loading screen online.
Dude heating is normal if u play for hours on a game
The fan is smaller so wouldn’t it have to be louder to compensate for the same amount of airflow? Smaller fans have to spin faster to match a bigger fan’s performance.
It was tested by LTT in an anechoic chamber (controlled environment) and there was no difference.
@@eggy6857the fan is more aggressive for the PS5 slim . It has 23 blades where as the o.g. only 19 to 20 blades.
When Linus tech tips did the sound test he said that it was slightly quieter then the og but that it was slightly louder coming from the disk drive. This guy didn’t mention if he was playing a digital game or using a disk. I have the ps5 digital only slim and it’s just as quiet as my fat distal ps5 that I got back in feb dude
Bonjour, son emplacement dans le meuble est beaucoup trop fermé, il est préférable de mettre la machine à plat sur une table bien aéré tout autour et au dessus. Et nettoyer régulièrement l'intérieur sous les plaques et dans le ventilo. Le seul bon point est qu'elle soit allongée, ne surtout pas mettre ces consoles debout
Bonjour my friend
Definitely the placement and ambient temperature above 68° for sure
The air flow is kinda horrible because the back of the entertainment center isn’t open
its actually quite normal, considering that they crammed same specs of original ps5 into smaller space. i'd say this was quite expected. sure would be nice if no noise but... thats the tradeoff
The cooling set up for the slim is better. If he takes his slim out of that closed in spot he won't have this issue.

@@adewalemichael9116 Its been all good so far. Don’t even hear the fan.
So after investigating all day, I can confirm that the Slim still uses 4 brands: Nidec, Foxconn (plain motor), Nmb (3 branches motor), and Delta. I've seen them all from videos except the Delta but in Reddit people claim they saw it too. The difference is that in the Slim CFI-20xx, all of them now come with the same design and number of blades (19) but still have different sounds, despite Sony apparently trying to unify its fan design. I can also confirm that on my Japanese Slim (CFI-2000) I got the Nidec fan (8 dots on the motor, but no branding like on the OG PS5). The idle sound on mine is greatly silent, but the in-game sound not so much, it still have the UFO-ish sound, but not as bad as the infamous 17 blades of the OG PS5. I'd say it's much closer to the Nidec V3 (which makes sense since it's chronologically the closest fan to that one), and it's acceptable. I'm not gonna bother getting another fan or console, since this time around, in the case of the PS5 Slim, it's another model than the Nidec that seems to be the worst from what I read in reddit and UA-cam, although people didn't check the branding. So @The Stack could you please check what model of fan is this, since that would help, you can do it by simply remove the cover on the NVME side and describe the fan's motor.

The PS5 Slim still has coil whine.
To the power supply that uses cheap, poor quality Chinese components.
I had a PS5 digital edition that had coil whine and it was in an open space with plenty of ventilation. However, this seems to be a fan issue rather than coil whine.
Dude, this is the worst revision since the PS3 top loader. I have a 1200 model and sometimes I need to slap my PS5 so I can hear it's alive, it's so freaking quiet.
disc or digital
Had my ps5 slim since November 23, and it’s now having overheating issues. Shutting down as soon as it’s loaded up, saying too hot. Yet it’s in a well ventilated area and no dust in or around vents. Trying to get it resolved via warranty, and the model number isn’t recognised when requesting a repair. Feels like a scam!!!
Yo I got mine last year around the same time and I can't play a game for 30 minutes before it says over heating WTH ! I don't even play it like that
What are the first serial digits of your PS5? S01 -........ It will show the production date... Thanks
That is not a fair amount of space my man that thing is dying 💀
I think it’s honestly the placement in your cabinet. Sure, the fan is designed to handle the internal heat of the PS5 slim, but the air and the PS5 in the cabinet also heats up and doesn’t get cooled down enough contributing to an overall gaunt of the “working climate” of the PS5. Hence he added fan activity.
Bro the fan is louder because the fan is more powerful to man
That’s plenty of space, that not the issue.
That's true, I keep mine on my desk and it has plenty of room to get fresh air
@@_Refurbished_ no😂 there is terrible airflow, mine was doing this too but I took it out and put it on my desk and it’s quite 😂
@@baileybryant42 Sony was supposed to solve the issue of graphics cards running so hot, but instead they created an ugly console designed to dissipate the heat better. It HAS to be kept out in the open, horizontal on it's stand, or you will eventually break it.
Bro is it hot down there in your moms basement ? sweating over your GME stacks 🚀 😂
In the ps5 slim they used a more aggressive fan . So it's louder Because its a more aggressive fan as it speeds up it will make more noise. If you recall the ps4 slim had same noise. They have to have a more aggressive fan to cool with less space and heat sinks .
This ain't true. The reason it's so loud in the video is because where he placed it. The ps4 slims came with crappy thermal paste from factory and if you replace the thermal paste properly, the console will quiet down.
@@vinyminotaur2694you are wrong . My PS5 slim does this and is in open air . STOP SPREADING FALSE INFORMATION.
@@Portuguese-linguicamy brother has a PS5 slim, & it’s dead quiet.
I’ve had a phat ps5. Just got the slim and it’s quieter. Mine is out in the open. Not sure if it’s the reason. I’ve also heard Sony has different kinds of fans.
Interesting. I also have the original PS5 and it's whisper quiet, just like my Xbox Series X. I bought a digital edition PS5 as I was thinking of trading in the other one, and after I set it up I noticed a bad coil whine which also made a low vibration noise. I immediately sent it back to Sony and kept my original. So it seems they have some quality control issues with their consoles that isn't consistent. I think the majority of them are ok, but a select few will have some defects.
The launch consoles are usually better with PlayStation for some reason. They always have issues with their slim models.
@@ClarkDent69yeah say ok lmaoo the fat ps5 had the loudest fan/ issues. Sony didnt do this variant like they did the previous shitty ps4 slim
Same thing for me, my new one kept shutting off so I swapped it out next day. I also got the $45 replacement thing and GameStop was great ! I wouldn’t buy a console elsewhere. The new PS5 seems to work ok now
I had the same issue went through two slims mw3 bundles and they were this loud but worse. I kept my og ps5 because it was bearable Sony needs to address this
Can you fit your hand behind though? Seems like its right up against the back of the cabinet? Not enough air flow.
when it comes to Pc, usually the fans kick up when the cpu is hot, put that console somewhere else for a day or two. if it's the same bs then yeah. could be a hardware issue.
Cut out fan holes place fans in the back sucking the heat out. I did that and made the difference I needed
I keep my OG PS5 vertical on an open desk so I know it's got plenty of breathing room but a family member keeps theirs enclosed in a much more cramped entertainment center than shown in this video and they even play it with the cabinet door closed. The unit seems to get very hot but handles it OK (so far). I think he's got plenty of air moving around that PS and it's probably a Sony firmware issue.
My OG launch day ps5 still has never made a sound which is great for late night gaming
The fan might be loud but does that mean it's an issue of the slim?
It does not. But this guy is dead set on playing Fortnite.
The Slim is louder than the Og because I did some tests but not as loud as this video. Overall still a great console!
Bruh you tripping. I’ve been a gamer since 1987 and we true gamers know that’s not enough air breathing. We learned from mistakes not what somebody said. Just take it out and stop complaining. It’ll be just fine.
They should call it the Pro, that sounded like someone was vacuuming next to you.
No issues with mine and have mine inside a console. I open the door when playing and close when not in use.
I think it’s the closed back environment you have it in man, my og was like that as well having it up against the wall.
Hello ! The problem is that your console cannot be ventilated !!! If I see correctly, your TV holder furniture is closed at the back. This is very dangerous for the consols And only use it vertically. Important You purchase inmediatly one vertical stand. On the vertical mount. If the console is horizontal. The TV Stand furniture is placed reflects the heat back onto the console. It is also important if it overheats, if possible, save the game and exit. Then turn off the console for at least 1 or 2 hours. The owerheaths Is very dangerous all consoles PC-s and IT systems
I hope I could help. 😊😊😊 ❤❤❤+++
Is it downloading or installing stuff? Maybe they just need an update for the fan to chill out when not in heavy use. Try a restart or a reinstall, or try a different game besides fortnite, And see if that works. Hopefully it just needs an update to fix this bug.
people getting so defensive over him having an issue. So pathetic.
It's the air flow behind the unit. I had the same issue and moved it outside the cabinet. It helped.
I'm having the same issue, the noise only kicks in when in game. And I keep my ps5 slim in an "open" environment (on top of the cabinet) close to my TV
Had the original, for space just got the slim or smaller, so far so good. I’ll keep ya posted..
how about now? is it loud?
what now? got my ps5 slim for christmas
I got mine at walmart on the 10th and still no issues ..... yikes
Get the G-Story fan but make sure you have the Original Panel on the opposite side so you don't lose the air that you are pumping in . I have the Slim Version yes it gets hot cause it's smaller and still produces the same amount of heat as the tall one . And buy the Scryer Artic cooler for the rear to help exhaust the heat . This will give you more air flow .
This is why I never buy new consoles immediately. I let you good people go through the headaches first till they work out the bugs.

My dad owns PlayStation. I’ll be sure he sees this.
FYI: the fan in the slim is smaller than the one in the phat by almost 2 mm so it is a more noticeable sound when it's running. As long as you are not getting overheating warnings it is fine.
Also Sony's recommendation says do not place the PS5 Slim in any enclosed space if the cabinet you're putting in does not have an open back you should not be putting it in there.
interesting coming across this vid with similar experience with my XBOX . you mentioned GameStop so that right there is a red flag. I paid for a brand new xbox where you can hear the game but can't see it. I returned it to GameStop for an exchange and the it had an issue where the CD Rom was damaged. So I had to do the next best thing rather than return the console back to GameStop I sent it to Microsoft for them to send me a refurbished but fully working console. In the end I paid full price for a refurbished one. I highly recommend anyone to avoid any hardware from GameStop, I feel they're on some sketchy sales practices. I believe somehow they swap out returned consoles with the new ones and make like the new one as the damaged one, who knows if they get employee discount or even five finger discounts. walk out with a brank new console. I'm aware of UPC codes but this is just what i think is happening with GameStop. Anything can be altered and made to look legit, just keep that in mind.
Its overheating because it there's no space for it to breathe🤣🤣🤣 y'all need to move that console ASAP
I bought the slim digital, I haven't even had it 48 hours and twice, I got the blue light of death!! I had it on my computer desk and the open and still did it. I ended up taking it back and just getting the original bigger version.
Your problem is that "you have a PlayStation 5" 20 years ago Xbox had overheating problems, today it is the Play 5 and apparently not even an improved version solves the problem of many.
Imagine going thru three ps5s and not realizing your ventilation sucks
Maybe your just horribly unlucky
he is considering that my ps5 is not having the same issues with worse ventilation

Let’s see what a fat ps5 does in there, prove it. We have 3 PS5s, one being a slim in our house and because we put them in well ventilated areas we’ve played a ton of different games and we don’t have this issue.

Picked up one a couple days ago. Seems ok so far. But I keep mine on top of the tv stand in the open air.

Turn the aircon up 🤣 I predicted the first slims would see problems just like some of the original fats did in 2020 until they revised them last year .
OF COURSE
LOL
the slims are NEVER upgrades. they are always mid cycle cost cutting measures that usually screw people over. the originals are usually what you'll want to have. Unless we're talking about a good company like steam where they'll refresh and update mid cycle with barely an announcement towards a better product. Generally everyone's trying to make money, some just do shitty stuff to get there.
Have you opened it up? It was only an issue for me once and I reconnected the fan and it stopped. Just take off the cover unplug it clean out the space where the fan was, the vent inside, then add the fan back. Or try running it without the top two covers. They sell open covers aftermarket that also are matte finished.
Lol, you made a heat-chamber for your PS5. No fresh air....
When it's slim, that means the console don't have enough space to cool the heat off. One way is to put a fan behind the console and best if you can play in an airconditioned room.

Mines exactly the same. I've tried sitting it vertically, horizontally. It just ramps the fan to 100% and it doesn't slow down until you close the game. PSVR2 is the same. It actually turns me off wanting to play it.
Never keep consoles in a partially closed space shelf where there is no airflow.
My PS5 slim is also randomly turning off. Bought it from Target. Playing MW3 and Spider-Man 2
So.many issues on this thing
I think this place when hot air can't go away from console and put it again inside thats why work so loud. PS5 FAT had bigger heatsink and maybe was better here.
