Works as should,pulls hout air out . Internal temperature dropped 6 degrees

I am not one to write a lot of reviews but definitely wanted to leave one for this to help other's decide if they want to purchase for themselves for one big reason. The "auto off/on" feature.But first, one of the main things everyone wants to know, "Is it loud?" Well that is always a subjective question and will depend on your gaming setup. I have my system setup with a surround sound so it is typically louder than your average TV speakers.While the fan does have two speeds to allow you to choose how much air you want it to move to keep your system cool that will obviously affect the sound coming from the unit. I found that the low speed will be decent enough for most situations and isn't much louder than the a computer fan. The high setting sounds about twice as loud much like a computer on the verge of overheating. I found on either setting I really only noticed it when the system was starting up due to the lack of sound coming from the system, but then completely forgot about it once the game started. If you're in a quiet room, or wearing headphones, it will be noticeable, but hopefully not annoying for you. I also did not experience any weird noises as found in some of the other reviews.Now for the "auto off/on" and the one reason I almost returned the product. The fan uses the power from the USB port on the PS5 and will only shut off if you completely turn off your PS5. If you are like me and put yours into Rest mode to allow updates and remote game installs this would normally mean that it will keep running all the time. This was not something I wanted to have happen for fear of ruining either device or wasting power, and did not want to have to manually turn off/on the fan every time either. I did find a bit of a work around that may work for others and is why I decided to leave this review.If you didn't already know you can change the USB power Settings to turn off while it is in Rest mode. Updating to off will make the fan turn completely off while you are not actively using the unit. Now the draw back is if you are using any of the USB ports to charge devices they will no longer continue to charge while in Rest mode. This was not an issue for me as I have the PlayStation controller charger and plugged my Pulse 3D headset into a different outlet.One thing to be aware of with this workaround is that for some reason the fan will shut off, come back on, and then shut off completely after putting the PS5 into Rest mode. Not exactly sure why it does this but I am sure it is due to something in how the PS5 cycles the shut down.Hopefully you find this review useful in making your decision!

It works wonderfully

The fan assembly installed easily enough. My PS5 is in a TV unit that is somewhat air flow constrained but I have to room for the PS5 on the shelf with the T.V. I leave the front of the cabinet open while using the PS5, but regardless, I felt adding a little extra air flow was worth it. I'm playing Horizon Forbidden West so I could hear/feel the internal cooling working when playing the game before I bought this unit. After adding it, it seems to reduce the amount of RPMs the internal cooling runs on demanding games. The PS5, like all modern computing systems will have its own thermal protection so for the most part this isn't so much about preventing your chips from frying, but from the PS5 throttling down the performance to stay cool. So in that regard, this unit might help those who can only put their PS5 in less than ideally ventilated situations.On high speed, the fans are noisy. On low speed they are much quieter and not noticeable over modest game audio volume from 4-6 ft away. The LEDs are not noticeable when the console faces you. In rest mode the fans are off. The unit is held in place by one of the the rear USB ports ad a flexible plastic clip that clips into the anti-theft cable lock hole on the back panel.We'll see how long it lasts, but if it spares some cycles on the PS5 internal cooling fan, maybe it's worth it. When I hold my hand above the PS5 before and after adding this unit, I feel less heat dissipation rising from the PS5 so seems to be helping.

Great quality and easy to install. Fans are very quiet and the LED light gives it a nice accent. Console hasn’t had any overheating issues since installation. Highly recommended

PS5 was making my room hot, this helped a ton. Now the fan is a louder than usual and my room is hot again so I’ll have to buy another. Not bad for the price, lasted over a year.

Surprisingly very good product. It’s perfect. Keeps the PlayStation five cool and doesn’t look stupid.

This has been a decent option for my PS5. But it does some weird things. Sometimes my PS5 still says its running too hot (rare, but still). Also, when putting the PS5 in rest mode, this fan still runs for about an hour or so. I don't know if thats typical of other cooling fans, but it happens with this one.
