Please Help Us Get a PS5 CFI-1100B01 Model (Patreon)

Hi everyone,

This post will be deleted once we get what we need, just to reduce confusion.

You've maybe seen some of the coverage of the Sony PlayStation 5 Digital, with a particular focus on the "new" version ("CFI-1100B01") versus the "original." We would like to evaluate the thermal performance of these two units to determine whether one is meaningfully different from the other. We plan to test them properly, with the usual care taken to control for variables.

Email us at: wtb@gamersnexus.net to let us know if you have one we can buy! That is the best way to get in touch. Please note that we may have multiple offers, so if you do not have one in your possession right now, please check with us before going out to buy one (as we may have another person able to supply by then).

We SPECIFICALLY need CFI-1100B01. I think it should be on the PS5 box. If you have one or you live in a region where you can buy one retail, we'd love to buy it off of you. We need one that has never been disassembled. We will be disassembling it for testing and will be unable to return it to you; however, we'll pay for the unit +$200 extra just to make it worth the hassle to get one to us. We'll also cover shipping.

It is much easier if you are in the US or Canada, but we'll work with whoever might have one.

Again, the email is wtb@gamersnexus.net.

Thank you very much!

Hey GN, I have seen some in stock here but they are scalper prices from actual online retails. AS this is EU its going to cost an arm and a leg to get to you plus its like 1000$ (conversion estimate). IF you really want one for testing I will be happy to see if I can get one but I think or hope someone closer to you may step up to the plate. Also I would be happy to do all the work for free I don't want the 200+ on top.

Thank you for the offer! Let's see if any closer options come in over the next day or so; if not, I may ask for your help so that we can just get one in sooner than later. Shipping would be painful, you're right, but probably worth it. I have a unit coming from a US retailer in the next few days. Will check if that's what we want, and if not, may come back to you for help. Thanks for letting us know the situation where you are!

I have a PS5 arriving in a couple days. I don't know which model it is, but I'll let you know in case you don't find one before then. Edit: I just realized this is for the new digital edition. I have a disk version incoming. I'll still see if I can find a digital version as well.

Intresting... Austin Evens already discovered "in the dirty way" that it performs worse due to the heatsync being about 300 grams lighter, and thus smaller... Curious to see if that's going to be your conclusion as well, and / or if there is more to the picture... To return back to the topic: can't really help you since ps5 isn't even in stock adywhere as far as I can find... and I'm to far away too, so that wouldn't be helpful either... But if the stars would have alligned, I'd gladly help... simply because helping is fun :)

Thanks for covering this! I've seen the news over the last few days and I was hoping I'd see a message like this from GN 😍😍 Hope you're all doing okay and please make sure you're looking after yourselves!

Austin didn't discover that it performed worse, he just discovered it dissipated heat better at out of the box. The reason for it was pure speculation on his part and it could be a number of reasons. Look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbX_UjhgpGU and see how worse thermal paste and heat dissipation inside the box actually _reduced_ the exhaust temperatures. Mild speculation here, but I suspect they have increased the heat dissipation in the box causing the higher exhaust temperatures seen.

Also worth noting that he found that the XBox Series X had the exact same exhaust temperature, 55C, as the new PS5. With the XSX it was "fine" (and it is), but somehow on the PS5 it was not. Make your own conclusions about how objective he is.

that's exactly why I said the gn take would be intresting. Measuring temperatures is one thing, weighing heatsyncs another, but drawing the right conclusions is an explosive business :) ... My guess is that the critisism about the temperature comes from the ps's history of easy overheating, preemptive to draw conclusions for sure, but not completely illogical from a costumer point of view either...

Also, just wondering, but couldn't warmer exhaust air also mean the temperatures inside the machine are worse so the air warms up faster? At least, sounds logical to me... :)

Not necessarily. See the video link I posted above. Worse heat dissipation caused a lower exhaust temperature, which could be what Austin is seeing but he's not technical enough to understand it.

Exactly. Measuring the exhaust doesn't mean anything if the chip itself is cooler-- which Austin didn't measure Ideally, the exhaust SHOULD be hotter than the chip... that's the whole point of exhaust

"couldn't warmer exhaust air also mean the temperatures inside the machine are worse so the air warms up faster" The exhaust... is making the exhaust hotter?

what i ment is this: (only my train of thinking... nothing more) so the heatsync is smaller, has the same heat to get rid of as the larger one / doesn't cover all components as well / could leave more heat in the components / might get the inside of the console faster to "steady state", so then the exhaust would be warmer because the insides are, but that doesn't mean per say that it's cooling well, and since clocks are flexible, might it not stand to reason they'd be lower?

Nice PS5 Test. Realy good with the Thermal measurments. @GN Why did you reached in the first PS5 Test with the first old PS5 93°C on Memory and now on the new Test with the old PS5 you reache now 87°C?
