Maybe he never heard about PC cases made with Mesh at the front lol

dont genius me dear
the 120mm may aid the nand cooling, but not the gddr6 it seems.
besides i have not seen steel being used as a heat conductor over aluminium or copper. very peculiar choice by the new Sony guy.
You are inferring that Astro is not a demanding game that does not consume enough, and still it measures 93ºc T-Case (which btw that graph does not measure the ram silicon itself).
For your information, Astro consumes ~180w and PS5 itself looks to be limited to around 200w. The extra 20watts from a more demanding game are pertinent to the actively cooled GPU. -The memory always consumes the same, therefor so should be the temps.

Windows 10 might have killed it too. They had a defrag bug that was ruining ssds.

Oh sure possibility back then, trust me I just want to prevent it. It was shitshow for me when that suddenly happened.
Yeah it should be the same temp in normal 20 celsius ambient conditions.
But leave it 3 months in a dusty shelf and then the sommer is coming....
OMG i really hope its not another "Gate" thing.
AMD Ryzen SMT Fix for Cyberpunk 2077 Boosts Performance by up to ~40% on the 7800X3D and Others
Last week, CD Projekt Red released a hotfix for Cyberpunk 2077, improving performance on AMD’s Ryzen CPUs, among others. The official patch notes mention optimized thread utilization for quad and hex-core Ryzen processors. Interestingly, the 8, 12, and 16-core chips were left unchanged even...

The fan is rated up to ~30watts of consumption (and therefor, cooling capacity). For reference, a regular PC consumer fan consumes ~3 to 5 watts. The PS5 fan could be used in a small leaf blower. Dont worry about it.

I don't really get it, i think Steve is mocking the fanboys. The memory ist getting to hot not the CPU
i dont think, it doesn't really matter how powerful the fan is. Its sounds and looks like that the bottom memory is the problem. Maybe they can fix it if they ramp the cooling up. But only time will tell. For now its a bad indicator.
Bad memory cooling with a brend new console.
Of course it matters. Half the heat from those memory IC are being transported by the PCB, to the points of contact with the cooler on the other side of the board.
The cooling capacity of a 30watts fan is absurd. It means the cooling will go nuclear if it has too.

Yeah but why is it running at 93 celsius now? When it could run at 80+ with more fan speed ? My Ps4 pro was silent the first few months aswell. Now its a fanblower. I really hope sony nows what they are doing. We don't need another billion dollar RROD thing right now.

Tm is 100° for Micron GDDR6
And still you don't want to reach that for any longer periods of time and often.
Thats junction temperature. Nexus did not measure that.

a callback? I really hope that's not true. If it is true, hopefully it gets resolved fast

Then the 3090s must be melting all over the world.

3090's use GDDR6X , it may or maynot have the same Tm.

I'm assuming it's hilarious because the panels were said to assist in cooling, which is not the case.

Gamers Nexus is top notch. Imagine them like a defense attorney fighting at your side. Looking forward to the XSX breakdown.

They must be made of unobtainimium.
They do. They are curved to prevent other devices from being stacked against the console, which would block air.
From a verified developer on era:
''It looks like the memory modules are using a cured thermal compound (from engineer's interview), and he tore it off before putting the probes. I don't know how he can test the temperature afterwards without knowing how to reapply the original compound. It's the reason I didn't do a tear down on mine, I'm waiting to be sure to know how to reapply this stuff, and what stuff it is.
So I disagree with his methodology.''

If that is indeed the case then GN will confirm and conduct a retest or follow up video.
Steve is usually pretty good with these types of things so we will know soon enough.

There is weird gap between the paste and the plate, so this could be the case. Imagine if he retest and then the temperatures go down substantially, what a bad day for troll bots.

Oh. That DOES make sense.

Let's hope that a retest gives better results.

Junction temperature is generally hotter is it not? It's supposed to be the hottest part of the device.

Yes. However I do believe the Tj for those memories is higher as we have seen the recent Nvidia cards reaching sustained temps of 104ºC. Probably RAM manufacturers are being cautions about the information they publish. AMD is advertising the new 6800XT running at 2.1 - 2.2 Ghz on game mode and it reaches 2.4 Ghz, so it's not unusual that manufacturers add some margin to the numbers they make public.

The first thing i though about before even watching the video was about how the sensors he installed were installed, that to me was the most interesting part because it invalidates the whole purpose of the experiment of measuring the real temps and to my surprise it's just brushed off as, yeah custom wiring, moving on...and now this after watching the video, it really looks kinda funny after justifying the experiment as being the real interpretation of how termals are in the console.
Honestly, at least thermal imaging it's accurate in how heat it's moving trough the console and, this on the other hand...what are this temps really telling us? they are not accurate and the cooling stopped being stock the moment you tampered with it?

The new Nvidia cards use GDDR6X which can apparently run up to 120c just fine.
I'm pretty sure the console should be fine under normal use, but those VRAM temperatures could be better.

GDDR6X, according to Micron, has the same operating temperature envelope as the GDDR6 : 0-95

Do they don't. They should if said here at Sony we have a lot of dumb users so we had to design the console with them in mind.
The panels don't assist shit if the console is placed with any common sense.

And yet here you are with your games being dumped on by a so-called inferior machine.
And remember what the dirt 5 developer said about your tools, there good, and pretty mature.
GG dude, its been a bad couple of weeks, for you, it's time to accept that the bullshit pr spin was all a lie.
The side panels are there so people don't block the vents by stacking the console, also it keeps the outside cool to the touch because of the extra layer.

It also supposedly creates a vacuum for the internal M2 slot, so when that is factored in, that slot may run hotter without the panels.
i mean i'm no expert! But running those temps out of the box isn't a good sign.
I had a lot of tech the last decades and always when something was running close to max in begin with, it died in the first or second year. In real life we have like dust and no perfect conditions over the time. Fingers crossed!

Me too.
I'm concerned as the XsX is quite a bit smaller than the PS5 with higher specs. I fear it could have much worse thermal issues. It's running flawlessly at the moment, but will that still be the case a week, a month, 2 or 3 years from now?
