Is this the first pic of a coverless PS5? (140mm fan possibly)

There might be another fan on the other side...

There's going to be a really big surprise when it comes to the cooling. Don't know if it's positive or negative yet.

PS4 has a fan that's just 85mm...140mm is not a small fan at all. We also don't know what's going on with the black thing on the desk, vapor chamber base plate? Potential cooling from top and bottom? Or is that just the PSU with dedicated cooling on its own? We shall see

How big was the Pros fan for comparison?

Well, it really appears to be a PS5 there. I'm no expect, but it does not seems to be that small.

On a quick search it doesn't appear that much bigger (7000 series Pro on the right). Definitely not nearly 140mm. Not sure why people think that's small.
140mm is a moderately sized PC case fan, pretty big for a console so far...It probably just appears tiny because the PS5 is also colossal generally and the top cover is closer.

I think the fan seems small due to the size of the console. Someone will probably give us the actual measurements soon from this leak.

LOL. All the nonsense about the PS5 being enormous for cooling purposes... and the fan looks to be roughly 120mm. This thing is going to be LOUD.
Meanwhile... Xbox Series X is the quietist Xbox I've ever tested...

So you’ve seen the whole PS5 breakdown then have you? Care to share?

If it's a 120mm fan it doesn't have to be loud at all. As I'm sure you are aware that depends on the RPMs it needs to reach. The One X fan was smaller than 120 as noted in this very thread and that machine isn't very noisy.

I just love how transparent Sony has been with the PS5. They even gave us a diagram of the internals:
This way we have a clear picture before our $500 purchase in about 5 weeks. Oh wait...

What if I told you, the Series X has a 130mm fan....If that's the quietest console tested so far, this bodes well for both!
We talked to the fan experts at Noctua about the unique cooling in the Xbox Series X and Series S
The PC's best fan-makers talk about Microsoft's new designs and how they might work in a gaming PC.
Man...Few are familiar with PC fan sizes in this thread eh. Or millimeters. Both are dramatically bigger fans than last gen and that's great.

Mine is Very silent. You cant hear the fan at all

If that's a 140mm fan (in scale with the rest of the unit), the PS5 is going to need to sit on your dining table. No TV stand deep enough I'm afraid.
You can get a near silent 80mm from Noctua these days that can move a good amount of air, if there are multiple fans in there,. small fans won't be as bad as it sounds. So long as they all match pitch exactly with each other.

Yeah it’s ugly.
And these little spikes to attach them to the consoles don’t inspire confidence.

You want them to not match pitch actually, as that creates harmonics and we hear spikes in the same frequency range better than noises spread across the spectrum. It's the idea behind variably spaced fan blades, and GPU fans that stay in slightly different RPMs than each other. I'm not sure the 80mm quiet fan is comparable as this design will want the fan to push air sideways and out, the Noctua PC fans are to blow air forward.

It does look really....cheap? Like a cheap piece of plastic but this leads me to believe they're gonna start selling swappable face plates.

Hard to say. People are quite stupid enough to break nda for 15 seconds of fame. Then again it could be fake too lol.
Im just waiting on Sony's reaction to this

I've never heard that before. They used to say that any number of identical fans stacked together would only increase total DB by about 10%, but mismatched fans with different sound profiles would increase noise a lot more.

There's also the question if it's the only one. The PS5 does have vents on both sides so there could be more than one fan.

it’s a big fan, and bigger usually means more quiet.

Is there any evidence the thing in the background is even a PS5?
The bulge on that thing in the background could be the disk drive.
Another "we didn't do R&D for user comfort" GIVE US MONEY, shit show from Sony, possibly.
I find it hard to trust that Sony changed it's ways with aural ergonomics for the PS5, the worse thing is, once you get the thing home, it might be quiet... for a 5-6 months, then WUUUUUUUURRRRRR during quiet scenes of games.
OP of that reddit post also posted a picture of the stand.
