Basically A Scam: PS5 Aftermarket Cooling Fans Blow the Wrong Way

These PlayStation 5 cooling fans & cooling base accessories literally do nothing, and even worse, they make the performance worse. We apply our strict thermal & noise tests to accessories.
Sponsor: Buy the Corsair 4000D Airflow on Amazon (geni.us/aMBA1r)
Console cooling fans are common aftermarket accessories for all generations of console, but this particular generation is interesting for another reason: The third-party "cooling fan" manufacturers jumped the gun, especially with low supply of the consoles, and we're not sure that they even tested their own devices. It's amazing that the cooling fans fit at all, but the ones we chose -- one of which has over 300 reviews on Amazon, mostly positive -- actually make things worse. The only thing going for these cooling fans is that we think the design is simply incompetent and likely isn't malicious -- but you could absolutely make an argument that selling a product without validating it has underlying ill intent.

Like we said in the video, flipping the fans is pointless because (A) this thing screams and you shouldn't use it anyway, (B) the plastic impedes more airflow than the fans add, (C) attempting to accelerate the exhaust in this manner is only going to make things worse.

I wonder how you ever took reviews seriously. They can easily be bots. I've seen ads that say they'll review bomb a site for you, or post hundreds of positive reviews. Actual advertising for this service. Like take 5 minutes to read reviews on the Google Play store. You won't make the mistake of thinking reviews are genuine when you see how many fake ones are *allowed* to be posted. Game companies are *allowed* to (claim they will) reward people for 5 star reviews. And there's thousands that say "I haven't used this product yet but I'm giving it 5 stars." It's beyond a mess.

The idea is good, the execution is garbage. I could probably build something better myself, just with a bunch of fans and a USB cable. Like, buy a couple fans, solder them to the USB cable, put those metal grills on top so you don't cut your fingers, and done. And I have 50mm fans that go 4500 RPM, so it would even be quieter than what they cobbled together.

@@vukkzor 80mm fans are measured by the frame because of their use in servers. 80mm is 3.15 inches in the shot the fan is about the same size as Steve's palm. Which in adult males is between 2.75" and 4.25" across. no where near to 40mm (1.57") or 50mm.

Hi Steve! Really illuminating video. I was about to buy one of those crap and fortunately i came across with your video, so many thanks for saving my money :D In relation to the PS5 heat problem, you said at the conclusion, that the better way to cooling the PS5 could be adding vents holes on the sideplates for a better air flow. That's interesting, because the trademark Dbrand, just released a PS5 plates with hole vents on their sides. So... Do you think it could be a good purchase for help to reduce the heat in the console?

They won't, they hinder airflow, same crap as those fans for the Xbox 360 years ago. The fans couldn't even move enough air, and the holes for the fans obstruct even more. So it's best to avoid them.

I got the oivo ps5 base with suction at the bottom. I got it only for a wider base and controller chargers. I don't use the fans because I don't want to mess with the consoles cooling systems that sony made a certain way for a reason. It's not a bad base tho imo. And I wanted to keep the console vertical but I just felt like the base that it comes with was just not that supportive. So far it hasn't gotten hot or anything like that. It would be cool to see a test done on this product to see if it effects the Temps in a negative way as well. Cool stuff thanks for the cool videos 😁
