While many in the PS5Scene are still struggling to Acquire a PS5 Console, a Lighter PS5 Model CFI-1100B with an upgraded stand alongside internal changes including a redesigned fan and smaller heatsink contribute to the 0.3 KG (0.6 LBS) weight reduction according to a report by Austin Evans of the PSReady YouTube Channel.
Although Sony previously confirmed the PS5 Fan Will Receive Optimization Software Updates during the PlayStation 5's lifecycle, for those who can't afford a Water Cooled PS5 Console it may be time for another PS5 Thermals Analysis with a brief summary of the new PS5 model's changes from the Tweets embedded below:
Rear exhaust temps are 3-5C higher
Weighs 0.3 KG or 0.6 LBS less
Heatsink is SIGNIFICANTLY smaller
Has a slightly redesigned fan
Upgraded stand
To quote from TheVerge.com on the New PS5 Lighter Model with Smaller Heatsink Teardown:
"The new heatsink is significantly smaller than the original, and makes up for the entire weight reduction of 300 grams (0.6 pounds), according to Evans. It’s not clear why Sony has swapped out the heatsink so early on in the PS5’s lifecycle, but Evans does note that his particular unit ran hotter as a result — with rear exhaust temperatures around 3 to 5 degrees higher. That could be down to manufacturing variance, though."
Based on austinnotduncan's feedback of the new PS5 CFI-1100B Model revision, although less expensive to produce, due to the reduction in cooling capability it may make Launch PS5 Models (CFI-1015A with disc drive or CFI-1015B driveless) more desirable... just when buyers were hoping PlayStation 5 Scalpers would ease up, perhaps with the Redesigned PS5 Model CFI-1115A with 6nm AMD CPU slated for 2022.
