Many of you will recognize Yasuhiro Ootori from Sony’s recent PS5 teardown video. So who better to explain their plans to address issues with the upcoming PS5? After complaints about the PS4 fan noise Sony decided to address the issue and make some serious design changes to ensure that the PS5 would run nearly silent. Ootori mentions in his interview that there will be three different temperature sensors on its main board. Sony will also optimize the PS5’s fans by collecting data from these sensors and then releasing a firmware update to address any issues. Sony has been pulling out all stops to eschew any potential fears for the next-gen console. Kudos to Sony for being proactive as November 12th will soon be upon us.
