    In this video, I do my own little somewhat in-depth analysis of the PlayStation 5 PRO Fan noise, during idle, gaming, the disc drive noise, I mention the firmware the console ships with, and my overall thoughts on if its worth getting today.
    The one correction I'd like to make is that the PS5 PRO is on a 5NM SOC process, not 4NM, as I mentioned on video. Initially, a website posted it was a 4NM SOC chip, but that information has since been taken down, and the newest latest information seems to show it being a 5NM process now, which I believe is the correct information.
    Also, the app I used for measuring the fan noise might be off by about +3 or +4 decibels. So keep that in mind when reading the levels as displayed on video. I did mention the SOC of this PS5 PRO be comparable to an AMD 7800XT, but it appears it closer to the 7700XT from what I've gathered online recently.

      It's not even close to a 7700 or 7800 XT I believe digital foundry said it was closer to a 6700 in raw power. The PSSR helps it a lot but it's still upscaling from a lower resolution and has been stated that the pssr can cause artifacting and other issues in games.

      @LousWRX  2 місяці тому +4

      @TypicallyUniqueOfficial Or it could be the innacuracy of the app / phone since it's not a real scientific measurement. But I will say my PRO is louder than the PS5 Slim I had with the Foxconn fan, probably by about 3-4 DB. My Xbox Series X measures around 28 DB in comparison, still IMO, the quietest of the current generation of consoles.

      @ see, I have the opposite experience. My launch PS5 with NMB fan is louder than my pro. I can’t even hear it unless I stick my head up to it. Whether idle or playing games. I would put it on the level of my Series X in terms of sound.

      @McKuc 2 місяці тому +1

      Is your PS5 positioned in a shelf like his? All mics and phones are different. The measurment is maybe off by 10db. I would use a db meter for direct comparisons of 2 consoles that are measured with the same phone, to show the delta of both noise levels, not to compare consoles that are at other locations and measured with different devices.

    • @TypicallyUniqueOfficial
      @TypicallyUniqueOfficial 2 місяці тому +2

      @@McKuc Same position yes. I can tell you this, my Series X measured 33-36 decibels, no coil whine. My launch PS5 measured 36 decibels, but with coil whine.
      The noise floor of my room is 30 decibels.
      I use the same app as the creator of this video on my iPhone 13 Pro, Decibel X. Is it the most accurate? No. But in relation to eachother, my Pro is as quiet as my silent Series X. No coil whine either, or to be specific…no coil when standing and looking at it in a silent room.

In your last comment from a little while ago, I think you mentioned you were selling parts or something or had everything taken apart.

      @ Lou, I just managed to pick up today an r7 9800x3d and I guess I have to buy a motherboard.
      Which model do you have ?
      Also do you need some kind of programs installed for the cpu to work at full capacity or not. Please let me know.

    • @LousWRX
      @LousWRX  2 місяці тому +1

      @BMAR92 Well, if you purchased the 9800X3D, I'd probably recommend going with the X870E Motherboard. They apparently work a little better than the previous X670E that I run currently.
      Well, before you had to run a program called Process Lasso, but it no longer needed anymore with the latest version of Windows 11, just make sure you enable the Gamebar app in Windows so your cpu will take better advantage of the X3D cores. But if you wanted to save money and just purchase an X670E Motherboard, you can do that, but they do need a bios update to run your chip. I'm personally running the MSI X670E Tomahawk WiFi Motherboard. It's pretty affordable and decent for now, but later down the road, I'll probably move to X870E when the next AMD refresh of chips comes out.

    I really dont mind how loud the fan noise is, im actually thankful for it, its keeping my ps5 pro really cooler, where i live it is winter time but still my mom would say that she could feel the heat from the original ps5 i had before i traded it in with the ps5 pro, im like that's good🤣, i always prefer my ps5 running cooler, and every time i put my hands behind the ps5, it feels cool air coming out and not warm

    It's reasonably normal this sound. The cooling vents are more open than the base ps5 had and at the side and the black stripes also suck in air. What you can do is place a soft cloth or something similar, i have PS5 ones from aliexpress underneath it. You can get rid of the resonating noise in your closet. that helps. i could clearly hear it in your video. Another "problem" is the fan size it's smaller and has another rpm. we just have to wait on silent fans come out. it's either a foxconn or delta fan in the pro. both can be bad. but just wait don't send it back. but m8 don't place a console on the wood or glass without something in between it, sounds logical???

    Hello Friend,
    Very good video. I felt like watching my own videos 😄..
    I have a 2tb SSD for all the PS4 games and a 2TB m.2 for the PS5 games. Only the Astrobot demo is on the internal storage. Can you check when your Pro was manufactured by looking at the first few letters of the serial nr. S01-x14**.
    My Pro is S01-F146 and it is on 9.05.
    It would also be great if you can check the RPM of your Foxconn fan.
    My Delta fan runs at 1070RPM in Game and its for sure louder than the cfi-12, but also not too loud.
    Thx for the video 👍
    PS: crashing at full speed in the matrix tech demo to see the framedrops would be a good game to test.
    6800XT 🤔
    Edit.. i would remove the case of the phone before filming ;)

    It's almost as powerful as a 6800, its already been tested and a 6800 outperforms it. The 7000 series cards use rdna 3 and this is still on rdna 2. If the architecture changed at all the ps5 games wouldnt be able to run on it. All it has is more compute units and rt cores, but its not that big of a jump because the ps5 is between a 6700 and 6700xt in performance.

      Wrong. There is no new game which was developed on the console so we not sure yet the full power. Also there is a comparison with a 6800xt f1 24 comparison with full rt and the conclusion is a 6800 or even a bit more its really depends on how they tweak the game.

    One thing I noticed got the fan louder than any game on my launch PS5 is Alan Wake 2 on quality mode.
    It’s kinda a shame to me so far as I loved the fact the original was and stayed so quiet no matter what. The gains here don’t seem to warrant a louder console in my opinion from what I’ve seen thus far.
    But hey, if GTA 6 is dramatically better on the Pro (not 60fps due to the CPU) and only gets as loud as it did in Alan Wake 2 then I’d be fine with it.
    I think that game will be between 1080p and 1440p on the base PS5. If they use PSSR to get it up to 4K then that alone would make this worth the money to me until it comes to PC.
