New PS4 model (CUH-1200) announced
- Thread starter raven777
- Start date
The only thing ps4 and xb1 are capable of playing in 4k is videos/bluray and even that aint hitting retail or going mainstream anytime soon.
The xbx1 had cosmetic changes pretty early. It you want cheapness look in the back of the console. On my launch unit the symbole or outlet/input are engraved and on the revision they are stamped/painted..... lol
Video says CUH-1200 same as thread title
Yeah I figured you didn't mean to say that, but the way you said it definitely read that way.
For the record I have a white model and it's not loud at all. I can hear it a bit when I start it up and first open a game, but after that I can't hear anything from it at all.

Man.... this system can't come soon enough
Just started FF14 for the first time and holy fucking shit does it make the system scream
My system is 18months old and it started to scream on any given game.I got it back to the shop I bought it and they sprayed with a compressor.So silent now.

Why's that? I'd love to see some Okami HD-quality PS2 remasters at 2160p and a third UbiArt Rayman at 2160p60.
Micron has started mass production and sales of 20nm 1GB GDDR5 chips.

Well isn't 52 db loud?
Somewhere I read that the Xbox 360 was 36 db ... Or I'm just stupid

Maybe one of the Slims. The original blows past 50 too.
So yeah. 52dB is loud. Disappointing as hell. Make the PSU external Sony! Put that extra space too good use cooling wise. Would keep it quiet under full load.

They needed to go with a 1TB HDD, say something about improved controllers with triggers that dont stick & sticks that dont disintegrate...& do something like add a couple USB ports on the back. Do that & suddenly this revision is interesting to people who already own a PS4. As is...yawn. A price drop wouldn't hurt either. But I suspect that's incoming for the holidays regardless.
removing the psu wont make much difference to the noise profile. blower fans are always loud and tend to suffer from bearing noise. the system needs to be redesigned but it wont happen for a while.
ideally sony will remove the psu and get rid of the angles which would reduce the system footprint. then they could increase the thickness a bit and use a cooling method similar to the xbox one to achieve the long desired silence many want.
important part is that it is considerably quieter than before... mine is already quiet and barely ever goes into full mode (only in one menu of free game).... so its encouraging that new model is even quieter and spends considerably less energy in all modes... didnt expect that.
The first blocks look all mixed up.
How are you supposed to read them?
What does the ordinate represent?
Again, how are you supposed to read this graph?
Not really.

Was his system in the same location? Is yours inside a entertainment center? I don't doubt the difference you heard but most of these cases I've seen can be explained by the location of the system. I had my system on top of a center earlier last year and it ran whisper quiet all the time. I then got a new entertainment center and while it's still has plenty of open space to breath, it's much louder and gets hotter because it's pulling some of the hot exhaust back into the cooling parts of the vents. It's annoying. Also, were both of you playing digital or physical? Physical disks running in the system cause it to be much louder.
First two are conditions listed:
Condition 1:
Stand-by power consumption with USB power supply disabled, network enabled and application is not in suspend mode (no application running before stand-by)
Condition 2:
Stand-by power consumption with USB power supply disabled, network enabled and application is in suspend mode
The line graph is occasions vs noise level during 15-min run through test. For example CUH-1000 was at 57db most of the time, while CUH-1200 was at 53db.

Have they said if the United States will get the white edition?
It can be significant, but it depends on the pitch of the noise too.
This ones mainly just a cost cutting measure them. They've probably found lots of savings.

I'd consider that reducing components (with more expensive ones). Not using cheaper components.
That was self explanatory I thought. That they'd use the extra space for more fans.
Although just removing the internal PSU would lower the fan noise since the PSU is the last step the hot air goes through before being pushed out from the chassi.

No no no. 50dB is more like an office or classroom filled with chatter. That chart is not a good representation of noise levels.

Thanks for posting all the graphs and readings, guys!
...and Yep, looks like I can just skip the 1200 entirely then... oh well

That chart is accurate... Go test something yourself if you disagree and post the results because from my personal testing and other things I have read, it is accurate.

is that chart the average of several consoles? the noise levels could easily vary to a degree within console versions
It all depends on the noise level you start with, but you're almost making 4 times more noise.
A 3 dB difference doubles or halves the perceived noise, not 6 dB.
Yup. Here's another one from another source:

So then by this you are saying the 1200 makes significantly less noise than its predecessors, therefore if someone were wanting to exchange for this model it would be worth it?
If these SPL values are actually representative, it's indeed making significantly less noise, yes.
That being said, I don't consider the noise level of my launch unit to be anything to worry about, especially not when I'm playing Driveclub with my T500RS wheel, which is quickly noisier than the console (and also obviously nearer to my ears), so I wouldn't feel the need to replace it based on this single fact.
YMMV, though.
Your definition of a "quiet conversation" is not the same as theirs, maybe?
Here, they're talking about a conversation at home.
I have. So have plenty of various computer hardware review sites. Your chart is off by ~10dB. 50dB does not equal a "quiet conversation."
While noise level may vary between same console versions especially how thermal paste is done may differ, it is safe to say CUH1200 does make less noise indeed. It's not like one guy has reported newer model is significantly quieter.
Though it's worth noting that guy did the analysis noticed newer model goes to higher fan speed mode rather quicker than first model.
Well with the ps3 each revision did indeed become cheaper than the version revised. Parts outside were cheaper/worst don't know internally. Microsoft revisions felt like upgrades with 360, they always added not removed.

That is DRAMATICALLY different from the data shown at a Sony presentation regarding the PS4's cooling system:
http://vr-zone.com/articles/sony-engineer-unveils-functional-beauty-ps4s-cooling-system/69852.html
The fan noise is the thing I hate the most about the PS4, and the reason I have found myself buying the Xbox One version of most multiplatform games... (that and the controller battery life)
EDIT: However I must add that the SmartTool app probably does not give the most accurate noise measurement you can get...
EDIT 2: I like how the CUH1100 model is the noisiest and warmest. Thanks for that revision, Sony, much appreciated ¬_¬
My system was on an open shelf with plenty of room to breathe on all sides, and his was on a table with plenty of room as well. There is no environmentally factor that could have contributed. If anything his was closer to a warm TV than mine was. Both were playing digital games. Even if that weren't the case the disc only spins for the first few seconds when you start a game once it has been fully installed. Regardless you can't hear a disc spinning in my PS4 once the fan kicks up, as the fan is orders of magnitude louder.
