It's worrying to hear all our PS5s are somewhat fucked.You predicted it. And guess who's whining? The one who got his XSX bricked.

Since I was reported about my 'cut corners' comment I decided to show exactly what corners were cut. The below images clearly show where the sound dampening material is placed in one system's PSU vs none in the other. It was a cost saving measure and the videos I posted below show that coil whine is common enough to be able to make a video about it as he tried to fix it himself. The OP of this thread had several PS5s that ALL had coil whine. I had 2 PS5s BOTH had coil whine. It is not FUD and it was not invented by Phil Spencer. It didn't come from a Xbox discord cabal. It is a real issue and some people are more affected than others. I never said the PS5 was a bad system or that it didn't have good games but clearly since Sony is trying to move as many units as possible they will save money where ever then can. This was one such area.

It's not rocket science and I'm having trouble understanding how you don't understand it. Tronic has fixed more broken systems across pretty much every platform of the last 25 years than games you have played. You can just skim through his channel and see the 40 or 50 Playstation 5's that he's fixed in the last few months alone, the dude knows what he's talking about. Ignorant is the right word, just not sure you understand how it should be applied.Based on a YouTube video, we can safely deduce that 'no PS5 uses dampening material in the PSU. ' right? Do you get how ignorant that is?
Ignoring the possibilty of a bad batch, early production models and pointed it to the worst case scenario.. and said it's definitely that.
Why do Sony allow people to return them, if they all can or.. is it will suffer from it eventually?
Interestingly when two threads were running.. XSX faults and PS5 faults, there were maybe a 2 or 3% difference. I can't recall.
So doesn't seem like the launch has been a hardware disaster, seeing how solid XSX launch has been. Except DarkMages.

I never stated that ALL will suffer from coil whine eventually, just that they have the potential to. I'm not sure how much knowledge you have of electronic components, but capacitors, transformers, resistors all have different tolerances and don't all work exactly the same, it's entirely possible that your PS5 with non-dampening material will have components inside of it that don't suffer the same amount of degradation over time that other's consoles already suffer from.
I doubt that coil whine is the disaster that some will make it out to be, doesn't mean it's not a problem or could potentially be a problem for a decent number of people in the future. BAD news tends to screamed the loudest by a small group of people while almost everyone else is just busy doing normal shit not having problems.

How did I know this thread would suddenly get bumped yesterday?
Like clockwork.
Ass of Can Whooping knows why, because he's neutral according to him and I trust his words.
Sorry, I was sick the day when they asked me to look at every single PS5 being manufactured...Damn kid getting me sick all the time. That aside, I just used reasonable deduction to make a statement based on the sample size of 50 or so broken PS5's that have been opened up on that channel. If that's not enough evidence for you than NO AMOUNT of evidence will ever be sufficient for you.Forgive me but I'm a little confused, you know that all of these consoles are affected because a YouTube has been fixing a lot of them?
By him receiving PS5s to fix then purely by definition he is only ever being exposed to the faulty ones?
In any case, how is that enough sample to say every one of the 7.8million consoles sold have had corners cut.. Because a YouTuber says so?
Why does Sony allow returns when they all have this ticking time bomb? They are just creating a never ending cycle for themselves right?
Early productiin always comes with defected products. It's not very surprising there is coil whine in some consoles. Or all together bricked consoles. It's unfortunately, very expected and normal.
But to state everything is affected by this is way over the top, and in pure FUD territory, it's something no one can possibly know or prove.
Indeed Bo!
DarkMage619 unfortunately keeps letting his mask slip, so his large reserve of neutral non-biased energy became unstable and bricked his XSX
Thankfully this doesn't happen with the PS5 since Cerny embues every unit with a knack barrier (this is what the biased mortals call coil whine)

But you do you:
I think he plays with PS5 duct taped to his head to complain about it and make it real if he had to swear.
Quick, someone bump the coil whine thread.

How about you start a petition asking Sony to recall the 7.8 million sold based on 50 faulty units.

Is this still being debated as to whether it exists or not?
My Sample Size of PS5 consoles is 1, since that's all I have. Just because your unit doesn't have or you possibly just haven't/can't notice it doesn't mean other people are lying.
Mine has an annoying coil whine when games are playing. to be specific a high pitch "pulsing" noise
At the time of the launch this was an example that matched mine 1 min 5secs in.
As he states later, it's of a frequency that just punches through ambient noise, unless you have the volume up really loud, you're noticing it. Even then if you're in a dialogue only scene you're going to hear it regardless. (or maybe you're lucky and your hearing doesn't hear those frequencies at all)
That video also has one without any issues, so it's evident that since mine's is similar to the faulty one in it there has to be a manufacturing reason for the good and bad units.
I don't see how defending this Good unit lottery advantages anyone. It just makes it unlikely that they'll do anything about it.
That sucks.. I'm obviously more fortunate.
Have you contacted Sony to get a replacement sent out? Hopefully they can help.. based on this thread should be able to get a silent one from them.
I wouldnt be in a rush with sony at the min cause ive gone from a new ps5 with high pitch loud whine playing games but no fan noise, to one with noisey fan on idle and just noticable fan noise, to then one i got now not really loud coil whine but cant tell as fan makes a bit of noise when game starts and it ramps up , and each time been without a console for three to four weeks so just living with what i got now, ill either change fan of replacements come out or wait till loads of stock in and hopefully a revision the buy a new one and give this one away to one of my mates or nephewI lurked on this thread before I joined, the multiple replacements from the OP etc meant I didn't see the point at the time.
I'll no doubt get around to it before the warranty is up, and stock situations are better.
You predicted it. And guess who's whining? The one who got his XSX bricked.
Oh jeez don't tell me it was a bad reaction to Ratchet. I do know that some people have issues with coil whine but to keep bumping up this thread as a reaction to positive PS5 news is a bit much in my opinion. It's just getting annoying and is pretty pathetic at this point.
How badly are you suffering from Victim Complex? No possible way that people are being genuine in even the slightest capacity huh?

I'm not sure if this helps anyone, but yesterday I swapped my PS5 from a surge protected extension lead to a non-surge protected one, and the coil whine seems to have drastically reduced. It could be an illusion or coincidence, but even playing with the TV muted I'm struggling to hear it at the moment.
Mine is plugged in to a surge protector and has no coil whine. Before the update I heard it maybe twice now its silent and I play a few feet away from the ps5.I'm not sure if this helps anyone, but yesterday I swapped my PS5 from a surge protected extension lead to a non-surge protected one, and the coil whine seems to have drastically reduced.

Do you know when it was manufactured? You got this like last week right?I’m only bumping this thread because I contributed to it originally. Just to say;
I’ve had my PS5 digital since Friday and have played 20+ hours on God of War and it’s whisper quiet. I’m absolutely buzzing that Sony sorted out the sound profile after the PS4/Pro.
I have it on my desk about 1 foot away from my head, with my sound on pretty low. No coil whine at all, not heard the fan ramp up once.
Yeah got it last Friday I’m in the office right now but can check it’s manufacture date when I get home - guessing it’s on the box?Do you know when it was manufactured? You got this like last week right?
Pretty sure there’s a white tag on the left or right side of the console itself I think.Yeah got it last Friday I’m in the office right now but can check it’s manufacture date when I get home - guessing it’s on the box?

Edit: Sorry not a white tag, it’s written on either side of the console.
I’m pretty convinced they adjusted the fan profile slightly since launch.I’m only bumping this thread because I contributed to it originally. Just to say;

Coil whine is completely unrelated to the fan noise.I've heard it being isolated to those that got the Nidec fan. Lots of info out there about it anyway.
I haven't opened mine but then again it's dead silent.
Sounds exactly like mine. Yes I hear it if I’m close to it but not from where I’m sitting. Almost forget how my PS4 pro sounded, but then I go to my sons who play Fortnite and the sound of jet engines hit me….I never hear my ps5 from my gaming position. It’s so much better than the pro and PS4.
yes there is some coil whine when I’m right next to it but I’d need to concentrate and want to hear it.
How is everyone doing with their coil whine? Mine seemed to have settled down for a while, but I've been playing Disco Elysium (the PS5 version) and it seems to have flared up again and I'm now noticing it again on games I hadn't before, even over the sound of the TV (albeit on quiet).
Anyone sent their PS5 back for replacement recently?
oh no, not this topic again
Anyone sent their PS5 back for replacement recently?
No. But sorry to be blunt, considering you had this "issue" in May (and your sole purpose on these forums seems to be to bump this thread), why haven't you? The longer you leave it the less time you have left on your warranty. Chop chop.
