Great purchase
What a great purchase, It really helps keeping temps stable for long playing sessions. Noise isn't bad, and the build quality is fantastic. Is basically a plug and play accessory. Get yours.

Fixed PS5 Random Shutdown Issue!
My PS5 what randomly shutting down due to heat. I opened it out and cleaned out dust and it still shut down at least once a week. Bought this a month ago and haven't had an issue since. It attached easily and seems to work great.

Seems to work well
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 fan for the original PS5 at a great price, with one possible consideration.
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!

Great
I got this because my PS5 is sitting inside of one of the shelves on my fireplace tv stand and would overheat and force my ps5 into standby mode to cool off in the middle of games. I purchased this and I haven’t had any issues since. So glad I bought this. And it’s a great value. The fan can be a little loud depending on the speed of airflow that you choose, but honestly, once you put your headphones on, you don’t hear it. It keeps the PS5 at an ideal temperature , the appearance is nice and hidden and the airflow is perfect.

Does not work
Use this on my PlayStation for less than 72 hours to add a cool effect both to make it look cooler and supposedly make it be cooler on my system. Not only did it not work to cool down my system. It actually caused my PlayStation to turn off twice within playing on my system for less than 2 hours each time. Do not buy this within playing on my system for less than 2 hours each time. Do not buy this

Fits and works great for my playstation digital edition 2020
I see from other reviews that they say it covers there ports and power cord, well, look at my photo and you will see it does NOT cover the connections. Just make sure you are getting the correct version of the fan for your playstation.I like the fact that the fan has two notches in it so when it snaps in around my playstation it holds the base in place. My playstation sits horizontally and before, when I slid it out, the base would always come off.Before the fan, after hours of playing, the connection ports where getting pretty warm, almost to hot to touch. After the fan was installed and many hours of play time, the same connection ports where warm to the touch. I have my fan set to be on always. Playstaion powers up, the fan powers on, playstation shuts down, fan turns off.Noise level is fine, I can't hear it running at all.
