Poll: *The Official PlayStation (PS5/PS5 Pro) Thread*

Transfer not working for me, I have both consoles connected via a lan cable, it's saying it can't find the console, grrrrrrrrrrr!

I would just use the NVME drive if you have one. Was way faster.

It’s slightly less quite than what my ps5 slim digital was, but this sums in it up, silent on the dash, but games the fans kick in some what but at a steady level not to be off putting.
So can system updates improve things like this from what you are saying?

I’m going to remove the fan. And accept that the pro will shutdown automatically when it reaches critical temps.

Metaphor: ReFantazio - is now butter smooth 60FPS

It's actually higher iirc cause it has unlocked frame rate

They definitely could improve this via software updates if they wanted. The fan runs at the same speed whether I'm running Minecraft or Allan Wake II

One way to do it...

Sorry but the ps5 pro was never going to be a quiet machine was it? More power same design same fan design it was never going to be quieter? I can't ever remember a playstation being quiet tbh

I started the horizon zero dawn remaster tonight. It’s glorious so far.

I kind of prefer the original to forbidden west to be honest.

It’s on a smaller chip (DF think either 4 or 5 nanometer) compared to the PS5 Amateur models so it should by nature have slightly better thermals - but they’ll be putting similar power levels through it (230w ish) at full beans so it won’t be whisper quiet.

I honestly haven’t noticed mine once whilst playing games, I use headphones and my Pro is about 2 feet away from me on the desk I play at. I

Smaller fan apparently.

And the ps1/2 were super quiet.

1000% agree on this, I’m playing the remaster at the moment (looks so so good on the Pro) and it just reminds me of why I prefer the first game to FW.

Better story, less convoluted side missions and a more enjoyable weapon system. When I played the original back in 2017 I think it genuinely rekindled my love for single player story games after almost exclusively playing COD and League of Legends since about 2007 so it’s great to play it again - and the remaster looks fantastic.

OG PS2s were insanely quiet, the slim/super slim models that came out later were awful for noise.

 

[TheVoice]

Original PS2s were definitely not quiet, later revisions were as they got quieter fans (around the time they removed the Firewire port from the front) but the earlier ones like mine are quite loud.

That might happen in the first cut scene or even in the middle of installing a new firmware!

It’s just a better game.

It’s gonna happen when clicking on the game icon. Baldur gate 3 ? Completed it mate.

 

[BuffetSlayer]

For those of you with a pro, do you find the orange standby light really weak and focused on the power button area?

Neither can I, which is why I can never take people who say their playstation is dead silent seriously.
It’s not an issue though, it’s still perfectly fine noise wise, but it makes me wonder why Sony can’t perfect the noise levels after all this time, compare it to the Xbox series x, that machine is a work of art when it comes to cooling and silent fans.

FireWire! Something I hadn’t even thought about for years and years, I remember the ports on the MacBooks for those as well.

Form over function unfortunately

 

[Raymond Lin]

My PS5 is dead silent.

(I sit 3.5 meters away from it, and I don't play games without sound or music)
