Artic improves the airflow by drawing out heat from the rear vent, prevent heat buildup inside the console, especially around the CPU and GPU area. The cooler utilizes the 6 Hyperfluid fans to exhaust and dissipate heat via the Lamella design frame effectively. This prevents thermal throttling and other issues caused by excessive heat from arising, creating an enjoyable and longer playtime.
The PlayStation®5 console is a powerful gaming console that generates extensive heat from its CPU and GPU during operation, especially when the console runs high graphic intensive games.
The PS5 is equipped with a blower fan and heatsinks to draw cool air into the console and push hot air out. The PS5 can still run into heat-related issues over extended periods of time, or in poorly ventilated environments.
Newer PS5 models has been released with model number starting from CFI-1100, with lighter in weight and have a smaller heatsink, which could lead to changes in temperature.
Final Fantasy XVI reportedly overheats PS5 consoles and causing them to shut down. The news was reported by Push Square and GamesRadar+ featuring users with overheating problems.
During the EVO 2023 fighting game tournament, players reported their USB accessories that seemingly got too hot and melted when plugged into the tournament’s PS5 console. It is claimed that this is due to the high temperature at the rear of PS5 consoles. This was later reported by Kotaku.
The PS5 cooler is equipped with six high-speed fans up to 10,000 RPM, designed to move large volume of air. It works in concert with the cooler frame design to deliver high volume of heat extraction — allow console to stay cool even during intense gaming session.
The Hyperfluid fans are precisely positioned in the cooler frame to work in unison for high volume of heat extraction, ensure effective heat dissipation through the exhaust air vents — continuously lower and cool the PS5 internals.
Featuring a game-changer, Lamella frame design — allows maximum air flow and heat dissipation, provides a larger surface area for heat to pass through and resulting lower heat concentration within the PS5 internals.
Lamella frame design increases the surface area — allows high efficiency and effective heat dissipation. The design also reduces noise level when air is in contact with the frame — a fantastic combination with the Hyperfluid fans.
The cooler operates at the same noise level as a library, creating a peaceful and immersive gaming experience. The Lamella frame design and Hyperfluid fans work in harmony to achieve the next level.
Imagine the noise level of a library — the cooler, engineered to operate with minimal noise to avoid gameplay disruption, making gaming on a PS5 enjoyable yet keeping the temps stable and low.
Fast data transfer speed with the SuperSpeed USB port allows seamless connectivity with your PS5 gaming accessories — with transfer rate up to 10 Gbps, transfer your data between PS5 and other compatible external drives quick and easy, and faster load times for games.
SuperSpeed makes everything possible — transfer large files, lag-free media stream, data backup, and various PS5 gaming accessories — the port is designed to be extremely reliable and durable, that can withstand wear and tear of daily use.
Fast and seamless installation and setup — no screws, software or drives, whatsoever. Spend more time gaming and lesser time fiddling, setting up the cooler. To install — align the top latch, plug in USB port, and clip the bottom latch.
White LED illumination — a cool, sleek and modern touch to the PS5 setup. The brilliant glow serves a dual purpose — functional as an indication of a turned-on cooler, also an aesthetic appeal, illuminating your console.
A versatile setup — the cooler can be easily installed to fit horizontal or vertical PS5 orientation, a freedom to choose the setup preferences. The flexibility in orientation makes cooling possible for limited setup spaces, still maintaining optimal performance and reduces the risk of overheating.
The placement of the cooler on the PS5 console does not obstruct any ports or buttons — ensure all ports on the PS5 console remain easily accessible without removing the cooler from the console — no compromises, making all ports usage to its fullest potential without any limitations.
Thermal testing is an essential part of developing the cooler since its sole function is to dissipate heat from the console and maintain optimal temperatures.
During the test, we compared the temperature with and without the Artic PS5 cooler. The data was then analyzed by our engineers to ensure it met our goals in terms of temperature decrease and noise level.
For the thermal testing, we set up three units of Fluke thermal imaging devices for better accuracy. The test was conducted in an enclosed environment with stable room temperature for an extended period of time. This also involved running the console at maximum load, playing high graphic intensive games like Spider-Man Miles Morales to simulate real-world situations.
To conduct internal thermal testing, it was necessary to dismantle the PS5 console and attach thermal wires to various components, allowing us to monitor and capture thermal data for analysis.
We attached thermal wires to several key areas of the console, including the CPU and GPU (SOC), memory modules (RAM), and heatsink, using thermal adhesive to ensure a secure connection. These wires were then connected to a digital thermometer to measure temperature changes over time.
The thermal data collected during testing proved to be instrumental in the development of the Artic cooler, allowing our engineers to fine-tune the fan design for optimal performance.
Our production will take place during the mid of campaign and will start shipping out by the end of October 2023!
