After a year of experience, and after selling 10.1 million PS5s, the company, according to Evans, decided it could scale the cooler without running into hiccups or other problems.

However, the effects may not be pleasant: according to Austin Evans and Jimmy Champagne, an increase in temperatures can create a problem due to the variable frequencies of the console and possible cooling of a second SSD attached to the console.

However, it is clear that the tests performed on this occasion, which reveal the heat coming out of the console but not the actual temperatures of the chip, should not be considered completely reliable to understand how things are.

At the same time, the fan It seems that the new PS5 model is installed with more performance and that may be the key to the whole talk. For our part, we have contacted Sony regarding this change and are awaiting a response from the company.
