I'm a Big Fan of this PS5 Cooling Fan!
Read if you want a detailed review! It never really dawned on me that I should look into buying a PS5 cooling fan and after a week’s use, I wish I would have bought one a few years ago when the PS5 launched! I currently own the official Sony PS5 Controller Charging Cradle that retails for $29.99 and it's done a fine job of keeping my controllers charged but had this product been on the market on launch day, I would have hands down spent $5-10 more dollars and bought this. With that said, let me explain why. Let me preface by stating that I've owned my PS5 since launch day and I log a crazy number of hours on it. I am a 38yr Arizona native where it's actually hotter here than it is in the Gerudo Desert and as a homeowner, it's tough to keep my home cool from May through the end of October without paying a fortune to the electric company and nobody wants to do that right? My PS5 is hooked up in my Game Room/Office where I have a ton of other electronics setup like my CRT TV, 65' LED TV, Gaming PC + 3 monitors and 10 Arcade games but all are turned off unless they are in direct use to of course help regulate the room temp and keep my costs as low as possible. Dust is a huge issue in Arizona, especially in the rural desert mountains where I live. I take my PS5 apart every 6 months and clean it with compressed air in an effort to try and keep the actual PS5 console cooler because if the PS5 is caked in dirt, it's going to make the fan work that much harder and in turn heat up the PS5 and ultimately add more heat to an office that already has enough electronics to heat an entire home, let alone one room. My PS5 runs seriously hot and because of that it does heat my room and it sometimes crashes from overheating but that's where this product comes in seriously clutch Pro's: • The Fan actually blows out cold air in a warm environment and it’s quiet enough that my viewers can’t hear it when I’m livestreaming. • It’s also a charging cradle. In my test, it charged my dead controller in just under 2 hours which is better than advertised. As mentioned, a Sony charging cradle alone costs $29.99. When the controllers are charging, your treated with an aesthetically pleasing breathing RGB light show. When the controller is fully charged, the LED panel lights up green and when it’s not, it lights up Red so it’s easy to know when your controller is ready. • I have a large 5TB external hard drive that is always connected and it actually fits perfectly in the designated Hard Drive slot so if you have a hard drive, rest assured that the WD 5TB Easy Store fits perfectly. There’s also a place for your PS5 Media Remote if you bought one. I did and I barely use it and often misplace it but now I won’t because there’s a built-in home for it next to the Hard Drive slot. • It has a place to hang your headset and I do have a Pulse 3D wireless headset. It’s nice to be able to keep everything I use when I game all together in one place and helps to cut down on desk clutter. • 3 additional USB ports for charging/powering anything that you want. I appreciate that. Charge your PS5 headphones while they are attached to the Cooling Station or your Airpods, Cell phone, Nintendo Switch. In 2023, you can never have enough USB charging ports. • Install is as easy as the included PS5 stand. Unscrew your PS5 stand and replace it with the Cooling Station and your done. Cons: • None, the product works exactly as advertised and it’s priced very affordably for everything it offers. Conclusion: • 100 % worth it and will even help your PS5 run better by avoiding game crashes that occur when the console gets too hot and it will keep you cooler too! Read more
