How Hot Does The PlayStation 5 Get?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ธ.ค. 2020
- Today we are doing a quick test on how the PS5 deals with heat when put in certain situations like being inside an enclosed area or if the intake gets clogged. I also wanted to see what would happen if the PS5 hit its thermal limit in a scenario where the fan failed. These temperatures will vary since we're using thermal probes, but it gives us a good idea as to how the PS5 heats up in certain cases.

Review tech USA tomorrow: THIS youtubers PS5 was overheating! Should you be worried?
And Gamers Meld.
Horses
🤣🤣🤣
The guy produces 5 ps5 videos a day lol
Let's get into it.
Okay so now I covered it in gasoline and lit it on fire, and this thing is starting to get pretty toasty.
Apply thermal pads,!!!!
☠
This is also funny
The framerate seems to be dropping...getting VERY choppy now, as the disc slowly liquifies. As you can see, the box and shirt are fully engulfed, and the table itself has caught on fire, slowly working its way towards me. Our temperature readings are still going up here, as we switch back to the overhead camera. The temperature warning has come up, but I'm going to press ok and see how long I can keep playing.
@@iceman00behave nice 👍🏻
Jon gives zero F's, calls out the building manager for not turning the heat on, on the weekend, then admits he's causing fire hazards in the same video.
Anyone with kids knows that the “worst case scenario” is always normal.
A little louder for the single people in the back lol I can relate to this 100%
or if youre trying to hide it from someone
When PS5's become attainable again in 2023, I'll be able to feel the heat myself.
🤧
Wait till the scalpers have to file bankruptcy, pick one up in auctions
Ha ha
The heat that pushes out is extremely minimal. At best its lukewarm air. And at no point anywhere on the system is it hot to touch.
@@densetsu4286 So, whether I have the PS5 or not, I won't feel its warmth. 😭
What kind of sorcery is this?
An American using Celsius!
Pretty typical in this context. I almost never see F used for measuring CPU or computing hardware temps.
Hehe even Americans have to bow to the great C when doing thermals on electronics (though I did see one channel using F which was very surprising). I'd say it's because we pretty much all agree that 100 degrees C is about the max that silicon can take, so using F would be a bit confusing.
The readout for most cpu temps is already using Celsius anyway. When it comes to diagnostic tools that read temps. So for the PC enthusiast crowd and people who are used to seeing this kind of content will be familiar with Celsius.
Metric is used in many industries. Guns, scientific measurements, tech etc.
@@Blitterbug Not really, Water boils at 100°C (change from liquid to gas at atmospheric pressure) and most human have boiled water or can imagine how hot 100°C is. Silicon have a simmilar composition to carbon (e.g coal)...we all know how hot coal (barbecue) can get without melting: 1000°C +
What's great about the liquid metal is that in like 10 years time there wont be the issue the ps3 fat models have where the paste dries out and the system shuts off, the only maintenance will be removal of dust
Or COD bricking the console
@@AngyNags that’s CODs problem not the console
Its tranfers heat quicker from the die to the heatsink so its can exhaust heater quicker, lowering the temperature. It also wont dry out
I thought the great thing about the liquid metal is that if you get enough PS5s together, the liquid metal will gather and form a T-1000 Terminator.
@Smok3 SHO considering the average life cycle of a generation is 6 years, I'd say that's meaningless to most who aren't people who keep their systems, which is increasingly becoming less of an issue with revisions and backwards compatibility. Besides, I doubt that and implore you to substantiate that claim. I won't deny the ram thermal solution is odd, but it's nowhere near operating at its maximum thermal capacity of 100 odd degrees.
I was on the edge of my seat watching this.
I was not
I am more confident in the PS5 than the PS4
And he is beta testing the PS5
@@EmilianoGonzalez11n6 the PS4 was a champ at keeping itself alive tho. The turbine was obviously working overtime, but still kinda immortal. I opened up my PS4 a couple weeks ago and half the SOC had no thermal interface material whatsoever covering it and the other half was mostly dry. Redid the whole thing and the reduced fan noise is unbelievable. Gotta give that fan some respect for keeping it alive under these horrific conditions.
where is your pfp from?
Ikr I felt bad for that Ps5 going through this rough test but looks like it held up nicely at high temps.
Hahahaha, im glad that I wasn't the only one...
There might be an actual thermal shutdown on this, but it's probably when the chip exceeds TjMax (which I believe is 110C for Radeon GPUs, so probably the same here). What's surprising is that there is actually thermal throttle on that SoC, and that there is so much copper on top that it's seemingly enough to keep the temperatures down with the fan disconnected.
Me: **trying to get ps5 looking everywhere for it to play on it**
people who got it: **sticks wires in it to do tests**
This honestly feels like I'm watching someone who's taken a person captive and is removing their organs while completely conscious just to see how they react
Thanks for the stress test dude. Makes me feel better about my PS5 now. Knowing that there's a few warnings too is reassuring. Oh and congrats on 100k subs on SW+👌
6:23 PS5 livin' like it's homeless.
😂😂
donate to homeless shelters
Lol
It would be good when doing these tests to put a power monitor on the incoming power to get a sense of power draw at certain temps. That would give some indication if it's drawing max power and can roughly estimate what max temps will reach
8:38 someone coming in after a party tosses his sweater and plays blacked out drunk scenario lol.
Fantastic video! Answered my questions about the noise of fan at full blast and the behavior around the "too hot" message
A situation where the front of the console could be covered is an entertainment center with glass/plastic doors in front of the electronics.
Anyone who does this is highly unintelligent.
@@jonathanodude6660 I'm just saying I have seen it before.
@@jonathanodude6660 yup. This isn't the 90s or very early 2000s where consoles don't produce much heat.
4:54 When I saw the PS5 standing on the mini carpet, I thought the thing will just fly away.
It's very interesting that it actually will thermal throttle when heavily overheated. I was sure that kind of behavior would not happen, as the variable clocks are not temperature dependent. Usually consoles will simply power off if it can't sustain base clocks.
When temperature goes up resistance goes down
Thank you for sharing this video Spawny. Very interesting at how much Heat in certain scenarios the PS5 can get upto
This is a very interesting video. I would also like to see if lying the system on its side (with the stand of course as Sony intended it) or keeping it upright has an effect on how hot it gets. I’ve not put this thing in my entertainment stand as I figured it would get hot. It surely pushes out a lot of air. It is quite, but I had to push it a ways from the wall as I could tell it was getting the wall hot. It’s a hard system to plan where it will be in your entertainment center. It is huge and stand out.
Spawn Wave been hitting the gym hard 💪🏿
Been lifting that original PS3 😤
Guy looks skinny asf
Lookin good
You should have seen the photo he posted on twitter
@@I_am_BiG_Al Check his social media, you'll see he's growing 💪
So glad your channel covers tech like this.
Nice testing and interesting results! Looking forward to the Series X test.
Imo I think it's shouldn't have started when the fan was unplugged
Been waiting a while for this one !
We knew it was only a matter of time when it would
@@DTW-bx2vy GN goes above and beyond with testing. They are simply unmatched.
Great video! Thanks as always keep up the great work!
Awesome Techwave video from the Spawn labs man. Nice tv monitor btw
never thought i'd see the day when John turns off the system before the system turns itself off when testing for thermal shutdown hahha i was getting worried there
I know that's because of the perspective, but damn, that looks gigantic the way you have that set up next to you. Lol.
It's really just that big lol
Nahhh, it's just that big. I have one and yeah, it's HUGE!!! xD
he is a small man, probably 5'8, 5'9 at best
It's not perspective.
@@_dmfd it's a bit of both. The console is big, but it's not THAT big.
Thank you for your video Spawn Wave.
I was playing Spiderman Miles Morales for about 30mins and noticed that my ps5 was warming up. It's probably nothing but it took so long to get the ps5 and worth some money.
Great video, please do a Series X testing the temps in non ideal conditions
Spawn Waves PS5 is crying out for help, let's get into it.
Great video analysis! Love the content you bring to all of your channels. Big fan 🙌!
Been looking forward to this video!
Sony employees: what the hell is wrong with these Americans?
They're are something else. Jus looking for problems..
Why the hell couldn't Sony just put a $0.10 heatsink on that one chip?
@@Havok0159 0.10$ are you crazy? In the margins where Sony would buy such stuff it is far less than 0.01$ for something like this. They just should have extended the internal heartsick to it so that the everybody just stays quite.
@Smok3 SHO sony is japanese, they have multiple divisions across the world where needed but the headquarters are in tokyo japan
@Smok3 SHO nop japanese
I hope once a PS5 slim comes out the temps are quite a bit cooler
Great video thanks for the info
Im in a weird place of being on edge about causing fire hazards but aldo slightly relieved that youre putting a solid effort into breaking it
What if there is a fail safe but you didn't reach the temp yet, and those warnings are just giving you time to save your game?
I considered this, but if the system starts thermal throttling it probably should be shutting itself down by then
@@SpawnWave was this a totally stock ps5 cooling solution? If the tim was changed out you really should at the very least mention that, the temps shouldn't be significantly different but it can vary a couple degrees tim to tim.
The ps4 gives a similar notice that lets you "ok" through it. But it will shut itself off if it gets too hot
@@SpawnWave It's hard to believe that the system doesn't have a thermal shutdown when it hits a certain level. If it's not in the OS (unlikely), it would at least be built into the APU. I don't think you got it hot enough.
There was plenty of time to save between the 1st and 3rd warning message. It should at least force shutdown by the second message
If it is thermal throttling so it's fine to continue to be on, CPUs and GPUs works this way as well.
Great video love your channels
This is really good info and I hope Sony does something about this. Especially for cases of fan failure it should throw and error and turn off. Crazy.
Hope we get a series X video on this soon
My Series X runs decently hot, but my PS5 runs noticeably hotter in comparison. About as hot as my Legion runs without fan-boost on
My series x is at 48 after hours of gaming. Its barely noticeable.
@Mr Glass do you have a link for that?
@Mr Glass I have only seen thermal camera temp check wheres this kind of temp check?
Thermal camera is a bad way to check internal APU/RAM temps,
Do you have a link for Series X Thermal Probe tests? Cause I haven't seen one yet.
Ps5 is better anyway
Lol, what that office comment for Evan or the building manager?
Just keep in mind places like the UK dont normally have air conditions in their home so in the summer its gets real hot, you look pretty cool there Spawn Wave, you should of done tests in different temperature levels
I would also like to test horizontally. But so far nothing worry about my PS5. Thank you for the video.
You're supposed to use the stand when it's vertical for proper airflow.
You're supposed to use the stand both vertical and horizontal.
it’s funny because it actually has more room without the stand LOL the stand covers few inches of the bottom and not with it off
I'm feelin hot, hot, hot
I see the way they make the fan air flow internally and in a way the air pass through the heat sink but the power box is on the pathway of the hot air flow. I think some exhaust vents need to be added by both side of the plastic case after hot air pass thru the heat sink then straight down/out.
The higher the temp goes, the more anxious I get.
Just like a computer struggling to shutdown a program and me using Ctrl+Alt+Del as a emergency surgical move.
Been playing mine almost 8hrs a day, not once has the fan ramped up and the whole system is very cool to the touch.
Me 2
What about from the exhaust
@@aaraizm it's on an open entertainment center standing vertical and about 6 inches from wall, the exhaust is just lukewarm. Honestly the disk drive is the noisiest thing.
Thermals are good on my unit. Doesn't exceed temps a normal gaming laptop would...
I bought my PS5 last week and it suddenly was loud when I turned it on then it stopped.... And the back of the console felt hot but not burning but wasn't noisy.... Is that normal ?
How did you not think of testing it with the stand on?
what i was thinking!!!
Appreciate the video and demonstration dude. 👍
actually a new informative video. nice!
I'd also recommend watching Gamer Nexus's video on PS5 temperatures, it takes a deep, technical approach. Very good video if you enjoyed this.
Yes,but their test to the ram temperature said 93 and this one 79...
@@XNeohaggenX I'm pretty sure that was the memory.
Still waiting on his Series X temps or has he chickened out?
@@Mickice series x has tested lower on all tests so far
not that it means anything. temps are standard upto over 100 even these days
@@biscuitsntea421 I assume tho, that the Series X will lock up and shut down during over heating phase.
Our PS5 runs as cool as a cucumber. What's really interesting is that it pushes air through the front as well as the back. Our Series X runs pretty damn cool as well although it does have a tendency to get a little bit hotter than the PS5.
@16bit Classics
Okay...I own them both and the Series X has felt more hot to the touch at times (while playing COD Cold War). Now, when I say hot to the touch we're talking the level of heat coming out of a very small and cheap Walmart desk heater...in other words the Series X is great at displaying games in 4K HDR10 w/Ray Tracing, almost nonexistent load times, and producing AI (Watchdog's Legion) like I have never witnessed before in my life. It is a truly impressive console but a terrible heater.
The PS5 *physical disc edition has been cool to the touch the entire two weeks or so since its release when we got it (day one for both 10th and the 12th of Nov). What's really interesting is it not only blows air from the back but you can feel it coming from the top front of the case. Just like the Series X, the PS5 is a truly remarkable machine that in my opinion pulls it's weight quite well. Whichever you choose you cannot go wrong and that's a bold but accurate statement.
Addendum- I have been an early adopter since the Sega Saturn and PlayStation in 1995. This console launch has produced the most well built machines I ever witnessed. My fiancee and I play side-by-side every night after work on two separate 4K UHD's. She is a true blue PlayStation girl and I'm more of an Xbox guy. Yes, we love both machines but we have our preferences.
@@shadowrebels1623
Ummmm...okay.
@@Sinn0100 cool to touch it's because you just touch outer plastic part but not in apu and ram
@@user-lm5wr7bt6u
Well...yeah, basically I'm talking about the heat exiting the exhaust port basically. You wouldn't want to mess with the inside unless you wanted yo melt your fingers to...whatever you were touching. ;)
@16bit Classics go watch an unbiased youtubers heat tests lol. PS5 runs cooler.
I think they may have changed something because Tronicsfix had two PS5s shut down after the second overheating warning in a video where he was trying to see if the PS5 could run with the liquid metal replaced with thermal paste. Liquid metal or thermal paste his testing only got them to shut down with the fan was unplugged. He didn't try blocking intake/exhaust.
I believe you are supposed to put the PS5 on the stand even in vertical orientation.
I have had no overheating so far on my PS5. Vertical orientation with stand, on top of entertainment center next to the tv (not inside a compartment slot with less air flow in the tv stand). Played Astros and Ghost of Tsushima. No overheating yet, whisper quiet. 2 Weeks so far.
Nice video
Interesting, I thought only phones have airplane mode.
Very cool video
Love the insight
Give it a clean every 2 - 4 weeks & it will be fine. I clean mine once every 3 weeks, it does get dust inside very easily from the top & back. After cleaning it runs quietly & cooler than before.
Don't know why this was recommended but so far so good after a year of playing.
You didn't use the ps5 stand? I mean it's included for a reason. You should re do the test and see if the airflow from the bottom affects anything
@16bit Classics ugly? It’s literally a round black piece of plastic you act like it vastly changes the appearance. As OP stated, it might assist in cooling its not just about looks.
@16bit Classics 'murican?
@16bit Classics Well, you're supposed to use it. It's gonna flip down and eat shit some day, then you're gonna call Sony to have it replaced and they will say - no.
@16bit Classics the stand helps inbred
@@zombiebillcosby there is no intake at the bottom all intake hole is on the top
I wouldnt worry about heat on the ps5 mines doesnt seem to get hot at all and it stays on all day just like my first gen ps4 which still works but i do take both systems apart from time to time to vacuum out dust and clean but other than that works great
Good video.
When are you doing the same thing for the SX?
After all the talk about the thermals I took both side panels off and laid it on its side with a space below it for the fan
I do wonder if some of the issues that the PS5 is experiencing is because parts of the interior of the console are reaching temperatures of 90°c +. I can't help but think that the console reaching that temperature over again over a prolonged period is going to cook and damage the system over time. I honestly would not be surprised if there is a mid-gen refresh with a revamped cooling system and perhaps some additional fans to allow for a much better air flow.
i have a gaming laptop that reaches 80c maximum and when im playing miles morales and ps5 its getting me paranoid the air around it its so hot. time to get a fan accesory
Apparently its normal. The bottom(base) generates the most heat due to the power supply and only one exhaust fan and small little ports for the heat to emit from the console.
you predicted the future
PSA: kids, don't try this at home. Ever!
Great video spawn, Would love to know about fixing coil whines in the ps5
Do one for the series X? I have mine on a shelf with maybe 4 inches of headspace at the top and open back, would be interesting to see the temps for something similar to that in your videos.
Your memory is running much cooler than Gamers Nexus tho.
They found it was only one RAM module that got hotter than the rest and that was the one that got close to 100*c.
@@TheMonkeyBloke spawn wave tested the same exact module here.
@@ameerikbal8160 Oh ok. I didn't realise. There seems to be a good margin of error, due to how the probes need to be applied.
@@TheMonkeyBloke Getting a good reading via a thermocouple is a pain in the ass sometimes. Takes some time to find the right spot and to secure it properly without skewing the test results.
Man! I knew the ps5 was big,but JESUS it’s huge😂
And a ugly one to
Thats what she said
@@cynthiamorisson458 debatable
Curious to hear your take about the different fan situation in ps5s and the fan lottery issue
I have the 17 blade Nidec fan in mine. It may be louder but I believe it moves more air since the blades are longer than Delta version.
Couldn't stop laughing when he put the shirt on top of it lol
Respect for using commercial grade instruments and not harbor freight
Except many tools from harbor freight are just as accurate or durable or mechanically superior to those expensive name brands
@@InTheZone85 It depends on the tool or instruments plus the individual user. Watch Project Farm or AvE putting harbor freight tools through its paces and it will dunk on your thesis. The only tool I can think that gets universal praise is the Earthquake tools.
What did your PS5 do to deserve this endless torture?
I would definitely wanna see a revisit on later revisions 👍
Interesting video 👌
That PS5 has been through hell.
He bought a PS5 to torture it🤣
That's why I always wait for at least the second revision of a console before buying.
so that you can safely use your ps5 as a dress hanger while playin?
@@andreal1414 It's always good to wait a bit until they have a chance to iron out the initial issues. It's like the first pancake
There's this new thing called warranty it's pretty great,
My day 1 Ps2, Ps3, Ps4, still kicking idk where my OG Xbox is,
My 360 died twice, I had no interest in Xone, I'm waiting for Series X games before i buy it
Hope there's a special edition by then, I can't score a damn Ps5 they run out too damn quick.
My launch ps4 is still going strong. I rarely shut it off for the first 4 years. Now my daughter abuses it every day. The thing's a beast...
running without the fan.... you are a brave man
Only really noticed the fan really kicking on is when I came across a major glitch where the screen goes black and stays black until you are able to talk to someone
You're supposed to have the stand on even when it's vertical.
Yeah I'm not watching this.
@@bloomerb4162 sure buddy
Haha you got him.
ps5 has similar stand use like nintendo wii. but the ps5 takes air from the front and throws it from the back. so you dont need stand for extra cooling :)
I wanted to put the PS5 in non ideal settings hence no stand.
Do it for the series x too! So curious about these tests.
He probably won’t do it. Dude spends more time trying to exploit the PS5 because it gives him more views.
So I probably should wait for Steve to do then?
Digital Foundry did a good temp test on both units
@@184Dadada lol no they did not. Learn what an actual temp test is rather than external heat sources. Ffs
Based on your tests. Do you think an external exhaust fan on the lower backside of the PS5 would help, hinder, or otherwise not affect the consoles ability to exhaust air?
Cool video tech talk lol
why dont you use the included stand at all?
Right, it helps with air flow using the stand
@@chriswiandt4907 actually the stand blocks a good majority of air flow

@@ghostthough7874 source?
@@dazza2350 Why would he need a source to prove a negative? The source you *should* be looking for is that the stand indeed hinders the cooling of the system. Basic stuff mate.
Let's be honest here, we all know there will be people saying "sOnY dId a BaD jOb WiTh CoOlInG" after they see a PlayStation 5 get hot after being covered with a shirt.
Great video! What are your best tips for someone who wants to clean the PS5? Can I clean it without removing the cover, I am a bit worried I´m gonna break something if I remove it. Thoughts?
Does yours not have any coil whine? I’ve never heard you mention it. Most people I know have it on the PS5s but none of the media have mentioned it. Mine buzzes loudly and can be heard from my couch when playing demanding games.
I wonder how the console is going to hold on summer
My guess is not to well unless you got the ac working alongside it running.
Good point. If it's not in a tempature controlled room I can see it getting toasted especially on 90 degree days. Proper ventilation wouldn't matter too much in that regard.
@@godskillers666 so far I have minor annoyances with my PS5. I fear they become worst or more stuff appears in the long run. I live in a hot state.

The video title should be:
" How Hard Is It To Get a PS5? "
GOOD VIDEO. THANKS!
There are two reasons I can think of as to why the Sony opted to use warning messages instead of shutting down the system.
1) They assume the system will cool itself back down soon.
2) To allow the player to have enough time to save their progress and the player can decide what to do next.
Gamers Nexus bottom ram is 14•C hotter than yours, it can’t be explained by a margin error. Different hardware/thermal pads/probe position/memory module/room temperature/game condition ?
I prefer yours as they are less concerning 😆
Ikr, I kinda think Gamer Nexus had a defective console maybe?
Cause Spawn had to force his RAM to 90°C
You're dealing with different testing scenarios, different testing environments, and different testing procedures. You can't expect the numbers to match up completely.
What you're looking for with multiple test sources is patterns. Both Gamers Nexus and Spawnwave's testing make it clear that the memory chip(s) on the opposite side of the board gets significantly hotter than the SOC. It's likely that the memory chip will still operate fine over time, but that is a definite weakness in the design especially when you consider how much heatsink is inside the system. It would have been better if they had found a way to better connect those ram modules to the heatsink so they don't get so hot.
@@Ragnorok64 you can't expect it to match up perfectly but thats like 50°F, thats not a margin of realistic error
@A.L dude if one was running at 90c from Sony and another is 75c from Sony ... you have a fucking problem lol. I suspect some of the PS5's with memory and gpu issues were hotter than gamers nexus one.
@@floppydysk Margin of error applies to run to run variance . That wouldn't be a consideration if you're comparing GN's numbers to SW's numbers. That would com into play when comparing GN's numbers to GN's, and SW's number to SW's numbers in the same set of tests.
Dude, those temps without the fan were making my heart race.
Brilliant testing, but I always keep my consoles cooler by placing it on a fan assisted cooling pad. Test that and see if it keeps it cooler.👍🏽👍🏼
My parent's entertainment center is completely enclosed. Glass on the front and the rear just has a hole to pull cables through.
