New PS4 model (CUH-1200) announced

There's the Nyko one and some vertical stands, which are all reviewed loud.
I forgot to leave a comment here, I picked up the MGS5 limited edition last week (it's the 1200-CUH) and it's working fine as of right now. It barely makes any noise running games on HDD (except Rocket League which makes the fans blow at full power, still makes less noise than my GF's OG PS4) and it makes slightly more noise than my Wii U running games on bluray. The one thing that's slightly worrying me is that it blows an incredible ammount of heat out of the back, but I guess that's normal?
Anyway, so far I'm happy with the new model, I really hope the noise levels don't raise a whole lot with the passing time.

if the layout/design is similar to the first model, then i don´t think you´d be able to fit them in. if you look at the pic in this post http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=176869879&postcount=529
you´ll see that the ram/heatpads make are in contact with a cover plate, so no room except for soft thermal pads.

Blowing heat out the back is good actually. So the noise is it similar in sound to the OG ps4 or different? Someone here said theirs was of a different "tone".
I'd say it's more of a humming sound, I can only hear it if I mute my TV (even with low volume it's barely noticeable most of the time). I believe it has the same tone as the OG PS4.
Also, mine is sitting horizontally and before I start playing it I usually push it forward a couple of inches to have more room to breathe in the back, it still pushes out a lot of heat to the point of both my table and wall being moderately hot.

Got the Metal Gear Solid V console last night.
I am so glad I traded my launch model in for this version.
I went from a Hair Dryer model to whisper quite.
It does seem loud when I put in standby mode. Anyone else have this issue?

I can confirm this also.
I upgraded yesterday and while it is whisper quite, the top right hand side of the console is hot to touch.This wasnt on my launch version
it is much much quieter than the previous models. there is a bit of a high pitched metallic or electrical buzz to it if you listen close. another gaffer mentioned it but I didn't notice it until recently. its possible the old units have it as well but it gets lost in the fan noise. I think its caused by psu voltage changes under load since its fluctuates, possibly due to cheaper parts in the psu.
overall though its a much quieter and smoother sound compared to earlier units.
I explained why this is a page or two back. don't worry about it.
Do you have "supply power to USB ports" ticked in Power Saving Settings?
Maybe because you switched dusted console for a brand new model?
nothing to do with dust. fresh out of the box 11xx models were never anywhere close to being as quiet as the 12xx.
if youre suspending a game or didn't close running software sometimes the ps4 fucks up and is still running at full speed. sometimes it will force close the software and youll hear 3 beeps but at times it gets stuck. if you close your software before powering down it should be fine.
the new boxes don't have a handle. that's the easiest way to check. the model number is also on the bottom of the box. I had to call a few best buys to fine one, theres a lot of old stock out there.
Ah, got it. Is it safe to assume that the Destiny bundle will be a 1200?

The Destiny bundle has been confirmed to be the 1200, the US 500 Battlefront is 1200 too, the EU/UK 1TB Battlefront looks to be not be.
that I don't know, youll have to check the model number on the box to be sure.

Apparently the CUH-1200 model comes with a redesigned HDD case containing a drive that is only 7 mm thick. Will a 9.5mm thick hard drive still fit in?

Hmm I don't think that's true though?
Digital Foundry just did a hands-on with the newer revision

9.5mm drives work just fine. I installed one in mine.

A couple days ago I started to download TLoU:R and suspended the system. It took longer then usual and beeped three times before finally entering suspend mode. The next day I turned the system on with the DS4 and it prompted me to press the PS button to use the controller. However, none of the buttons worked now. Using the USB cable had no effect either.
I pressed the power button on the console and it entered suspend mode again. I pressed the PS button to turn it on once more and the same thing happened. I guess the system was "repairing" what had gone wrong as it started working normally after a couple of minutes.

Traded in launch model for new Destiny Taken King console.
No dent on the front of mine.
SSD performance appears to be the same, but haven't actually timed anything yet.
HDD cover extremely easy to remove compared to my launch one. My launch one seemed to always be stuck.
Glossy artwork. Looks like Marble from afar when not in direct light. Gorgeous.
Seems quieter overall.

Is the new model worth getting? Its either that or get an older model PS4 on craigslist for 300.
Also how can you tell if the store carries the newer model?
Looking at getting one today.

I might actually sell my old PS4 to my buddy and get this one. I really want a quieter PS4.

If it has a disc inside, it's normal.

The model number should be listed somewhere along the bottom of the box, but, as I understand it, all MGS and Destiny special editions are the new model. Still, just double check for the numbers, they'll be there.

Can confirm picked up Destiny bundle today and it is in fact the 1200 model. It looks so incredibly sexy. Will post about noise levels once I get the chance to test it out. I have the big offenders which are Bloodborne, TLOU, and Rocket League. Very interested to see how they perform.

Wait I thought they came out and said that it was just an old print and that it was supposed to be the 1200 model

Got my Destiny Bundle thanks to the amazing customer service of GameStop. Switched my 1100 model out for it. Was able to test it a little last night playing TLOU multiplayer (constant offender of noise for sure) and it was worlds quieter. In fact I noticed a stark difference between the 1200 model and all the previous ones I had (read previous posts I've been through a lot of systems). Every system before this one always had that Whirrrr sound that you could easily hear on YouTube vids. Some were less than others when it came to that but they always made that sound. With this model the fan does go "higher" but not anywhere near like the others and there is ZERO whirr noise. It's literally just the very light whoosh of air coming out. Is the system dead silent..No... But only if you sit literally right next to it. 6 feet away, its totally inaudible. Next tests will be Rocket League and Bloodborne

Much quieter than my launch unit. Does feel warmer to the touch, but I believe that was explained in the thread.
The console itself is beautiful. The artwork is on glossy white and really works well. My particular one doesn't have the dent that some 1200 units have on the front. Perhaps was an early production run issue only.
I love it. Swapped an SSD into mine, stock was a Toshiba drive.
My impression is that you should get the far better looking MGS5 one instead.
I started noticing that at times my 1200-CUH makes a high pitch sound when the fans are running fast (Rocket League or after a long playing session), It's nothing major during the day but at night when I have to keep my volume low it becomes slightly irritating. Does anyone else have this problem?
EDIT: Found a video of someone with the exact same problem, apparently according to the comments it has something to do with the HDD, dunno if it's true.

ya mine makes that noise and others have mentioned it as well. its not constant but comes and goes at random. seems to happen more often when the system is under load. I don't know if its the hard drive, it sounds like it comes from the power supply so it might be electrical whine but im not sure. Maybe someone can test different hard drives and see if the noise persists.
personally while the noise sucks, its not that hard to ignore and its far less annoying than the noise output of the older models.
That's the thing, the new unit is so much quieter than the original that such a small thing like this manages to be an annoyance. And yes, in my case it seems like the sound comes from the right side of the system (power supply side), it'd be a blessing if it was from the HDD in my case because I plan to swap the stock one in the near future.
Thanks for the feedback! I'll try to mentally muffle the noise.
Yeah the difference is pretty noticeable, playing indies like Xeodrifter and Soundshapes for example the system makes pretty much no sound at all, when put under a heavier load (Rocket League or some retail game) it still manages to be quiet, I'd say it's on par with my Wii U.

Would reapplying paste to the launch model put the noise on par with this new one?
Anyone have that comparison?
