Doesn't seem like enough ventilation openings in that PS5 mock up. I think it'll be more flat opposed to slanted.

Idk why but I actually like the devkit more than this lol. In the end idc, I just want it to be quiet.

Seems odd that they would go to the trouble of designing such a cooling layout, and patent it and put it in the devkit if they weren't intending to make use of it.
Having said that, doesn't mean the console will look like that. Devkits usually seem to have extra components/compartments (for diagnostics and whatnot) so the console ought to be smaller.
I'd say it's reasonable to expect the cooling solution to be inside the final product and that it has been put into the devkit precisely because they want to check it actually works (in all kinds of conditions, different offices, different room temperatures, different obstacles around it potentially blocking airflow etc etc. Besides, I'd be cool with a design like what has been shown where the V-shaped empty space is notionally covered by vents or a plastic grill.

It looks like an lifted toilet seat for people who have back problems.

V=5 design confirmed.
Honestly. I am only going to care for about 5 minutes after I hook it up

Now you dictate what I should care or comment about? You? The one triggered simply because I said in the thread: ugly as sin.
You are all in extreme damage control 24/7, relax a little and stop trying to police what other people say. Not everything is console wars, or at least it shouldn’t be.

You ever see the PS4 devkit?:
...and of course the retail/launch design:
No basis for doubt on Sony’s part though I know like or dislike of design typically is subjective, etc. My point is that the launch design of playstation consoles have been shown to look significantly different from the devkits themselves.

I really hope it is, I'd hate to see compromises for size. The console looking pretty is the least important thing there is.

No, it will not fit that cooling. That's like 6cm on front. Fans in patent have 80mm or 92mm and patent didn't shown lower 1/3 of device where drive is. That part also had lot's of air vents (Judging by devkit pictures and patent drawing). IF they will use same cooling on final one, then PS5 will need to be around 11mm thick minimum.

This. Everything is better than another noisy Sony console.

How do we know dev kits are using the exact same hw components the final retail units are? If they don't, there's no need to suggest both products have to use the same cooling system as well.

Its the internals, I'm sure it'll be a big black box.

A bearded man?I only want one thing:
Kinda off-topic, no?
Love it. It would match the new controller well.
So what's the verdict on this cooling system? Good/bad.. quiet? Educate us laymen
I think this meme will age well:
but we will find out eventually

I kinda like a design that resembles classic consoles like the Mega Drive or the Saturn.
Unfortunately it would cool it based on the airflow in the diagram. Preorder cancelled.

I could care fucking less, what the console looks like, what my TV displays is all that matters.
I
I get that. But this time round the V design looks as if it is essential to the PS5's cooling system (I read it has six cooling fans). If it weren't essential, I'm sure the dev unit would have just been another unremarkable big box. I guess we will have to wait and see.You ever see the PS4 devkit?:

Then why do you make it always console wars?
Extreme damage control....lol , now your projecting what you think I’m doing? Suuuuree
You throw around all these words like triggered and I’m dictating like you actually know.
Nice try but you have no clue. You should learn to relax you seem on the edge over my opinion.
Relax take a breath, it’s not the end of the world . You seem the type to always have the last word to think they are right. Whatever we have gone off topic . If you want to continue DM me directly.

The amount they have built up this cooling system AND having down clocks it better be substantially quieter lol.
I've spent alot on my sound system, I don't want quiet scenes to be like I'm in a factory

Obviously your life lacks mirth, but that's common with people that have anime avatars especially vintage ones.

They seem to have gone to town with the dev kit design which is quite unusual, I would be surprised if the retail model doesn't lend itself to the design somehow.

I am sorry i didnt grew up with pokemon , only with one of the best series of the 80s with one of the best soundtracks out there.
Sorry that i asked a valid question that i expanded on and got propper answers.
Sorry i lack mirth , i am just an old grumpy white boy walking around with my maga hat and my 22 under my arm.
Sorry i lack the smarts to follow your thoughts how any of this is related to topic.
I will remove myself and descent into the darkness of my own asshole so i dont bother you anymore.

I like this look. Honestly I like the V design more and more, especially seeing the patent and reading about all the fans it has room for inside. Keep this baby cool, Cerny. Keep it cool.

From what I gather, the V shape will likely stay in the consumer version. It seems to serve a functional purpose in increasing surface area for drawing air.
The protrusion will mostly be for housing two heat sinks. If it was just box shaped, I don't think Cerny would have played it up as something to look forward to/

There was a rumor/a guy who said PS5 will be 2x thicker than the previous one, which fits with these 11 cm you mention.
In addition to this, I think that this design misses the 6 fans in the sides. I assume the box will be rectangular like this one, but I think it will still have the 3 fans on each side like the devkit. And even if DualSense pads use wireless charging, they will have an USB as we saw. It will also need to be compatible with arcade sticks and legacy PS4 controllers, So PS5 will need at least 2 USB ports in the front side of the console.

Do you brag or complain?
That's completely different cooling design. Only thing that's correct is airflow direction. To be fair after all that rumors and bragging about super extra cooling from Sony I also expected something like that.
