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

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

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.

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.

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

My PS5 is dead silent. 
(I sit 3.5 meters away from it, and I don't play games without sound or music)

I've had a lot of PlayStation's over the years and I can say none of them where quiet to be honest if you get one with a quiet fan on the playstation 5 or slim you can hear the coil whine more if you get one with a slightly louder fan you hear less coil whine you have to take your pick really.
Yeah Xbox series X mine is silent compared to the PlayStation's.
My ps5 pro fan you can hear it when I take my headphones off and also can hear the coil whine on certain screens but it's not an issue for me when gaming with the headphones on I don't game in silence haha.
