Hands-on with the new PlayStation 5 CFI-1100 series console
The crux of the controversy surrounding Evans' video stems from his view that the new PS5 is worse than the old one - it's his contention that a smaller cooler made from less efficient materials produces a hotter machine. It's not an outlandish theory by any means when you look at the mass and material reductions but the question of whether it's hotter or not cannot be determined by measuring the heat output of the exhaust alone and even if it does run a few degrees hotter, it may well still be within manufacturer's tolerances. In Evans' video, there was a very small reduction in noise from the new model, which seems at odds with the notion of a hotter machine. This may be explained in a number of ways - firstly, if the new machine is running hotter, that is absolutely fine according to its firmware and nothing to be worried about. After all, if there was an overheating problem, you would assume that the fan would speed up to better expel the heat. Secondly, the new fan may be doing a better job of pushing out the hot air and may simply be quieter than the original in the first place. It's a new part, after all. The final theory - which is perhaps somewhat less plausible - is that a smaller heatsink based on materials with a lower overall thermal conductivity has been redesigned in such a way to make it more efficient.
However, temperatures on the main processor and the voltage regulators looked fine. Ultimately though, if the central chip is running too hot, you'd expect the fan to spin up. That seemingly didn't happen on Austin Evans' unit and it's not happening on mine either. I've been running Remedy's Control for several hours now on my own CFI-1100 unit. In ray tracing mode, the game locks to 30fps and in standard gameplay, the PS5 draws around 170W from the wall.
