Re: Poll: Have You Experienced PS5 Coil Whine?

@get2sammyb Sorry for the little harsh comment! I tagged you 2 times with the same stuff I think. But no worries.

I know about that because I exchanged my One X 5 times because of it! And I just deal with it on my PS4 Pro (which has it on a minimal level).

I have read and read and then read about the coil whine as it is one of my most hates things in consoles!

Sony could definitely do this in future revision! Actually when the warranty expires anyone could put the same compound in their PSUs or give it to a professional to do it.

People need to understand that there is NO way for a coil to not vibrate when electricity passes through it. It is normal but there are cases where the coils are close to other parts (or more coils) and they could sound like the unit is broken!

@get2sammyb

As I posted before again and again. I have the answer of "It’ll be interesting to see just how common this problem is, and if we can learn a little more about when it occurs and why."

This is the PSU of the PS5. It has COILS. When you play intensive games the electricity that passes through them makes them VIBRATE and they touch nearby parts. That is what is making that sound. Some units do not have it because the coils do not touch anything.

The Xbox dealt with this problem by GROUNDING the vibrating parts with grey goo.

It would be nice to have some kind of feedback from you btw. Do you agree or not. Anything.

About coil whine.

"Ensure that your console has got enough space to be properly ventilated. Sometimes a loud operational volume can be attributed to the console not having enough available air to cool itself properly, so if you've got it in a TV cabinet be sure to ensure there's enough space all around the console and that it's not running hot."

This has NOTHING to do with it. Running hot will NOT increase the coil whine.

You either deal with it or send it back to Sony and hope the replacement has coils that do not touch eachother.

CDPR should be admired!

They care so much for game preservation.

They have shown that with their DRM-free practices on GOG and my favorite is the fact that they put the WHOLE Witcher 3 + the DLCs on ONE cartridge for the Switch!

If I am not mistaken this is the first 32GB cartridge to be released outside of Japan.

Re: PS5 Coil Whine Becomes a Concern for Some Early Adopters

@LemonHaze I had the absolutely gorgeous PS4 Pro Spider-Man limited edition and I had to give it up. It had coil whine and even then I decided to keep it.

After 2 weeks the coil whine became grinding that can be heard even with headphones. I sent it for repairs and they told me it could NOT be fixed and they had to give me my money back.

After that I got the regular black PS4 Pro (last revision) no issues. But still I want that Spider-Man red beauty.

So those things are NOT non-issues.

This is NOT a PC setup. The manufacturers cut costs with cheap parts and we can actually HEAR that.

@NEStalgia Come one! The coil whine was atrocious on 90% of the PS4s. And now this.

Cheap parts are cheap. Just ground those damn coils to stop them from vibrating and be done with it! Some people even douse them in silicone to dumb down the vibration.

One word for that.

Pathetic!

Re: PS5 Review - The Future of PlayStation

Zuljaras

@get2sammyb Thank you for the review!!!

Just some questions!

1. Can you skip the Internet connection in the initial setup of the console?

2. Can you install Disc based PS4 games on the PS5 without any downloads? (just from the disc).

Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want to Know About PS5?

@get2sammyb

1. Do you need to activate the console via Internet on the first boot or it is the same as PS4? Boot > insert disc > install > play?

2. Do you need to download the Backwards Compatibility games that are on Dics (like on the Xbox One) or you can just install them from the disc and play?

That is a ALL I need to know. It is mostly connected to Internet connection requirements.

@JON22 And I never understood Soccer, Basketball, Chess and other sports that people watch. I guess it is entertaining to see who has the better skills.

So the same is with E-Sports.

As for gaming people like to watch others react to games they played and liked. Also if you can't afford the game or the console etc. you can watch it like a movie.
