Doing This Will Make Your PS5 Run Better 

I honestly have 0 complaints with the PS5 noise it's already really quiet.

Interesting. In the PC world, quieter doesn't always mean more cool. It would be interesting to see a temp comparison between the two fans featured here.

Something that's important to note: the fan screws are different lengths, so make sure you keep track of which screw goes where!

Which has the best airflow and cooling capabilities? And also hearing a sound comparison with temps too using all fans would be an amazing test!

they finally realized that gamers will want to clean their consoles eventually. this design is good. unlike ALL past consoles from ALL companies.

Only real ones have been watching these even before they had a ps5

Better question is which fan does the better job of moving air in and out of the console? I dont really care much about fan noise as i usually put in a fan mod on my consoles to make them run faster and move as much air as possible while its running. Thats way more important than fan noise to me personally.

Nice and straight to the point. No long intro, good close up shots and covers important details. Excellent!

The PS5 has been the coolest & quietest console I've EVER owned! My PS4 pro was not only loud AF it got really hot all the time. The PS5 is quiet and after many hours long play sessions in the summer heat the console remains cool as a cucumber 🙂✌️

It may be quieter but how well is it cooling? That’s the most important part. I’d rather have a loud fan that cools the system down better than a quiet fan

Damn that audio test was crazy. I must have a delta fan cuz my ps5 is dead silent at all times. Doesn’t matter if it’s been running 5 minutes or 5 hours. Never had overheating issues. Ps5 is beast!

Mine definitely has the Nidec one, but i find it quiet enough, it seems to start off a bit noisy during startup, but then turns very quiet quickly, even during Gaming, no issues in a quiet room, for me. Also, worth noting, is that several gaming test websites have tested these three fans against eachother, just to find out that the Nidec actually cools the best, of those three fans.

I'm not worried about fan noise, it can be loud as long as it keeps the system cool. The quieter fan may also be less efficient at cooling. A system that gets too hot may lead to other components breaking down, so no matter the noise, keep mine cool!

as a professional repair technician thats already fixed several ps5s with various problems i feel this really unessecary, you are showing us how to fix a problem that doesnt exist, the variance in decibels on these blower fans across the 3 oem's is neglible, and the variance in performance as far as wicking off heat is even more so. furthermore of all the playstations i have diagnosed and repaired ive never once seen make even close to as much noise as the one you demonstated to be loud. i dont know if thats due to the microphone being so close, editing gains on your recording, or simply just a defective fan bearing, but that kind of noise is not normal operation at all and would fall within the manufactures warranty, or simply replaced as shown since sony has made this fan servicable without having to break the warranty seal. Edit: Kinda Preachy sorry, but i recently had to repair a fan connector for a customer, becuase he was taking his fan out to clean it on a monthly basis and broke 3 of the 5 pads on the connector. I fixed the connector jumping traces and running some wires, as well as educated the kid on why its a really bad idea to try and fix something that isnt broke. I feel like your video here will just promote undue damage to these still very hard to obtain devices. Good for my business sure.. but sheesh. this is a bad video lol. Heres a link to what your worst possible outcome might be if you botch a fan replacement attempt: photos.app.goo.gl/MzhyfVkyqDnX9Rhv9 and heres the resolution: photos.app.goo.gl/6sXUyTgUyazApxKf7

I love how modular and easy to work on they made the ps5

It may be less noisy but is it cooling as efficiently as the louder fan? Noise isn't an issue for me personally but bad cooling is. I wear headphones and keep a box fan running almost all the time, blowing cool air from the vent towards my desk where the PS5 lives. I recently tore mine all the way down to the PSU for a dust out, she's got the Nidec!

Yeeeeah my confidence level hasn’t reached the stage where I take apart my ps5. It was hard enough to get it in the first place 😅

Haha Delta. That's funny. I'll have to hunt that "variant" down on eBay.

I would love to see actual noise measurements of both fans or datasheet noise levels of each fan at least

Well, I would, personally stay with the nidec fan. It has largest air moving surface area, possibly, creating more pressure of cooled air

The Nidek fans have that extra small row of fan blades in the center and pushes air better thats why its "louder"

Unless you are in very close proximity to the system with no other sounds around, you will rarely hear any fan noise. The only noise you will typically hear is from the disc drive spinning up & this lasts perhaps 30 seconds at most.

I actually use a usb fan that attaches to the back. It’s kind of noisy, but it keeps my console running significantly cooler. I have one of the newer models with the smaller heat sink. It gets pretty hot, heats up my bedroom a bit. The fan however helps.

Other than it being quieter, does it move more air? How does it make the PS5 run better? I would rather buy a slightly louder fan if it cools better.

Don’t have problems with the stock fans in my PS5 the only time its loud is when I put on the disc and its reading it that’s about it besides I always game with my headphones anyways 👍🏻

I was lucky to be a launch day owner and I have zero complaints when it comes to fan noise. Had many long game sessions and the fan remains quiet I have no idea what kind of fan is in there, reluctant tbh to open up my console till it becomes necessary, probably to upgrade internal storage at some point. Nice informative video as usual.

I'm glad they made it easier to take it apart to clean. That was one of my gripes with the ps4 fan.

I believe those three fans are from the three different OG PS5 models if you'll notice the fan blades are much different on every model the heatsinks on every model out of the three is way different as well you may want to make sure the fan blades even though it runs quieter move enough air across your heat sink

Love how precise and simple your videos are, straight and to the point.

This is very informative I just wish you had the website links where we can purchase the fans.

I think it also depends on how you have it. Horizontal or vertical. I think vertical is ideal. When I had it sideways. I would hear the disk drive every now and then

You should also measure thermals to see if the new fan is actually better at cooling

I never knew they came with three different types of fan models. My fan is very quiet

But is the delta tech fan as efficient in cooling?! Did you test?

good video. i think what would have made it better is comparing the temps with each fan. because i dont just want it quiet. i want low temps for the longevity of my hardware.

I have the delta fan by default, so it's good to know that it runs the quietest, if nothing else.

hey dude can u give us a link on where to get the fan?

My question would be which one cools it the best since the “loud” fan isn’t too loud I wouldn’t mind it being a bit louder for better cooling

I've purchased 2 PS5s recently and both have the Delta fan, so I can confirm the Delta fan seems to have become the dominant fan since recently, at least in the European market.

This is one of the best instructional videos that I've seen on youtube since I found youtube back in 2010. Thank you.

I think it matters if it runs cooler with the new fan. Can you test all 3?

So you've installed the quietest, but which is the most efficient at cooling? Different fan profiles (indicated by the noise) are likely to affect cooling performance

Link for fan? Love the vid!

I'll wait and see once I get my PS5 which fan I have. My question is which fans cools the PS5 the best? I couldn't care less how loud it is. I'm used to using gaming computers with 4-8 fans, so not a big deal for me. I even thought about using a Noctua or Be quiet Fan to move more air in and out of the PS5.

Cool, but my PS5 is virtually silent. The only upgrade I need is the SSD expansion!

That boy John finally gave us a legit insightful video. 😂😂😂

@John Glasscock Does it also cool the ps5 the most vs the others? Because I consider it doing the best job more important than its volume.

I've been online trying to find a delta replacement fan! Can you put a link below to let us now where you purchased yours from? Any help would be appreciated...👍👍👍👍

I can’t wait to start binge watching these vids once I get a ps5 🤣

the loudest one could be cooling the system better though

Do you have a link for the toolkit you’re using? I’d really like to get one.

i do love how sony made the ps5 easy to mod and change to what you like. I know gaming pcs can already do this but its nice on a console I wonder if they will have official upgrades that you can buy for it later that would be amazing so your ps5 can stay up to date to the best of there abilities

Amazing video, but which one make the system run colder?

Never had an issue with my day one ps5 as really quite any way, all though this may be helpful for others I'm pretty sure it'll Void the warranty

My question is does the quieter fan cool the system better or does it just spin slower. I really wouldn't care how loud it is because I care more about keeping it cool than how loud it is

This video made me open up the console just to check the fan, and I'm lucky to have the Delta variant already :)

Would the best cooling fan be more of a priority than noise?

Forget the quietest or loudest, which cools the most effectively?

Super guide, but where have you buy youre delta fan?

Where exactly can I buy the delta fan at can you provide a link to a website? I’ve been trying to find it but no luck. I would appreciate it:)

Does quieter actually mean that it will run better or that it in fact just runs quieter. Also I wonder what the life span expectancy is for the fans

Definitely quieter, but I require proof that it runs cooler for better.

I got a PS five digital edition and my consul and is running good but I save this video when the time comes I will buy myself a fan to customize and install it. I’m glad I saw this video

Any ideas on where to buy the replacement fan?

I don’t have a problem with that, I have a problem with getting the whole ps5 in general 😭

When I first got my PS5 months ago it was loud as'f with coil whine, but after they released some updates for games and the system it's quiet, like you can't hear a single sound whether it be digital, disc, PS5 game, etc.

Is there a way to check old fan before buying a new one? Does old/existing fan not spin freely etc? Thanks

Do you have a link to the replacement fan by any chance? Ty!

How y'all hear the fan sound while gaming? Is it really loud?

The disc drive is the only thing that makes noise on my PS5, never ever heard the fan.

does it really matter what fan is installed for temps? the system is targetting a certain temp and ramps the fan up accordingly so if its less efficient it just runs it a little bit faster right?

Would have been nice for you to show a side-by-side or at least decibel levels to show how much different it really is and if it's worth even doing

Me: watching this thinking “ wow interesting” Also me: with no ps5 🥲

Could you do one for the ps4 because I feel like mines doesnt run like it use to

I've always have a desk fan blow some air over my game consoles. This has worked well for me over the years

I just bought the digital version, is there any relation on which fan will my ps5 have depending on the version (digital/disc)?

This is awesome. I recommend powering it on to check the fan works, _before_ reinstalling the screws and cover plate - otherwise you risk doubling your work if you find out the plug was not seated correctly!

Since I bought my ps5 I have never even heard the fan spinning. Crazy how quite it really is

Good video this,Shows how easy it'll be to clean the fan and internals from dust after a year or so.

Awesome,where can I find the delta fan?

Have the loud model, play with headphones, doesn’t really bother me

Switch fan to make it quieter? Me: Wait, yours makes SOUND?!

Can't hear the fan in the first place. But that's probably because I don't constantly sit right over it and putting my ear next to the vents. Like a normal person, I sit xx metres away and my sound system is loud enough to cancel out any fan noise. Same with my PC that has 6 120mm fans in them. Anyway, cool video and definitely worth the hassle if your fan is loud and is causing performance issues later on in its life cycle but otherwise I don't see the point. EDIT: I'm guessing I have the delta fan as I can't hear much at all when I'm right next to the console. Great tutorial video, thanks.

For someone that doesn't care about the sound which fan would be better for optimal Cooling?

I must have the good fan on my PS5 Digital as I have no noise issues.

this has been today on unnecessary ps5 upgrades. coming up next, how to replace your perfectly working usb ports.

Trimming down a cheap light thin scouring pad and sandwiching between the fan and fan cover will filter dust extremely well without compromising air flow and can be cleaned regularly with little effort! And if you think this is not a good idea check the heatsinks right now and tell me you're pleased with what you find.

Would you please do a thermal comparison between the fans?

My PS5 is so quiet, it basically feels like it doesn't exist.

Seriously compared to last gen even the loudest variant is a blessing. This is a bit exaggerated but I guess the option is there for those who want it.

I got the revised model but have zero complaints besides the mechanical disk drive which can't be helped and isn't an issue.

Do you have a link for the Delta Technologies PlayStation 5 internal cooling fan!! I didn't see it on Amazon site but still looking!! Any help will be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!!

I originally have a Delta in mine, after I watched this video I was curious to check and I must say I've never had such a quite system before! Sony has really hit this out of the ballpark and actually seemed to listen to us complaining about the PS4s getting really hot and sounding like a jet taking off, sometimes my PS4 would get so loud I thought it was going to blow up on me. Ps5 was a smart buy for sure, it plays demanding games with ease and it's also Very quite.

I just don’t understand how manufactures make faulty products when they have been manufacturing for years and years. Do they not learn nor do hours and hours of testing before they release products

This channel seems to be very popular. You sure do have a lot of FANS!

You have covered which ones quieter, but i would expect the louder ones doing the better job?. You tend to find the one with the more aggresive blades makes the most noise but also cools alot better. Granted if the fan is faulty it would also make noise but thats a different kind of noise?

This is a parody, right?

God bless to the 1% who see this comment……

Where can i get that fan.. thank you ☺️

Opened up my launch day PS5, and it's got the Delta fan 🙌🏼
