SIE's hardware engineering lead Yasuhiro Ootori is promising that the PS5's cooling fan performance can be further tweaked based on the games the user is currently playing.
Speaking to 4Gamer.net, OOtori explains that the plan is to gather data from the PS5's APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) during gameplay via temperature sensors within the APU and around the PS5 mainboard to control fan speed. This data will then be analyzed to determine how the internal fan speed can be adjusted to improve thermal performance. Sony can then issue firmware updates that basically provide cooling fan performance profiles tailored for each PS5 game as needed.
