Who Buys This 23-Blade PS5 Fan
A 23-blade cooling fan is the technician-preferred upgrade for any original PS5. Eight buyer profiles this part is built for.
Bench shops swapping noisy 17-blade NIDEC pulls for the quieter 23-blade Delta / NMB — fewer "still loud" callbacks, happier customers.
Original PS5 fan grinds, clicks, vibrates or rattles after 2+ years of use — a direct swap restores quiet gameplay.
Console hits "PS5 is too hot" warnings or shuts down mid-game — a fresh, balanced 23-blade fan restores airflow margin.
Doing a full PS5 teardown and liquid-metal repaste? Drop a fresh 23-blade in at the same time — the bracket and connector are already off the board.
Microphones pick up every fan whirr. The 23-blade design lowers RPM at the same airflow — cleaner stream and recording audio.
4K HDR, ray-traced and 120Hz titles push the APU hot. Better airflow stops thermal throttling and keeps frame rates steady.
Cleaning up a used PS5 to resell? A quiet, balanced 23-blade fan plus a fresh repaste lifts the resale value of every console.
Already inside the console for an SSD upgrade or shell swap? Add the quieter 23-blade fan in the same teardown.
Inside The 23-Blade Delta / NMB — Six Engineering Wins
Up To 40% Quieter Operation
More blades move the same air at lower RPM. Customers report a clear drop in fan noise after the swap from a 17-blade NIDEC unit — no more buzzing, whining or vibration.
Better Cooling Headroom
23-blade exhaust geometry pulls more air through the heatsink. Lower APU, GPU and PSU temps under load — useful margin for 4K HDR and ray-traced titles.
Genuine Delta / NMB OEM
Sony's own preferred fan supplier on later CFI-1xxx units. Real OEM — not a third-party rebrand — with the Delta / NMB factory part marking on the housing.
Drop-In Connector Match
Identical 3-pin power connector and 60mm flex cable as the original PS5 fan header. No splicing, no adapter, no firmware change — plug, screw, reassemble.
PULL-A Bench Verification
Every fan is power-cycled, listened to for bearing noise, checked for blade balance and confirmed at full RPM before it leaves the Forest Lake bench. Failed pulls never reach a buyer.
12-Month Replacement Cover
If the fan develops a manufacturing fault inside 12 months from purchase, return it for a free replacement. Cover excludes physical damage, modification or wrong-model installation.
23-Blade Delta / NMB vs 17-Blade NIDEC
Sony shipped two fan designs across the original PS5 production run. The 23-blade is the technician-preferred upgrade.
17-Blade NIDEC (Original)
Part: G12L12MS1AH-56J14
Maker: NIDEC Corporation
Blades: 17
Current: 1.9A — 2.4A (variable)
Noise: Louder — known buzzing under load
Cooling: Adequate — baseline airflow
Best for: Like-for-like replacement only
23-Blade Delta / NMB (This Listing)
Part: 12047GA-12M-WB-01
Maker: Delta Electronics / NMB Technologies
Blades: 23
Current: 2.4A (consistent)
Noise: Up to 40% quieter, smooth operation
Cooling: Excellent — superior airflow margin
Best for: Noise reduction + better cooling upgrade
Technician note: Repair shops prefer the 23-blade fan for customer satisfaction. The noise drop eliminates buzzing complaints; the airflow gain prevents future overheating callbacks.

Check before ordering: Flip your PS5 over and read the CFI model number on the white sticker on the base of the console. If it starts with CFI-1, this fan fits. If it starts with CFI-2 (Slim) or CFI-7 (Pro), do not order this fan — the cooling assembly is physically different.
Common PS5 Cooling Problems This Fan Fixes
Loud Buzzing or Grinding Noise
Symptom: Fan buzzes, grinds or whines — common on 17-blade NIDEC pulls after 2+ years.
Fix: Swap to the 23-blade Delta / NMB — up to 40% quieter at the same airflow.
"PS5 Is Too Hot" Shutdowns
Symptom: Console throws the "too hot" warning and powers off mid-game or 4K stream.
Fix: Fresh 23-blade exhaust airflow restores cooling headroom — pair with a fresh repaste.
Fan Not Spinning On Boot
Symptom: Fan stays still on power-up or stops mid-session — console overheats fast.
Fix: Drop in a bench-tested 23-blade fan. If the new fan also stays still, test the board header.
Frame Drops & Thermal Throttling
Symptom: Games stutter or drop frames after long sessions — APU is throttling.
Fix: Better airflow holds APU temps lower — full clock speeds restored.
Weak Rear Exhaust Airflow
Symptom: Almost no air coming out the rear vent — console runs hot at idle.
Fix: Replace the fan and clean the heatsink fins of dust. 23-blade design pushes more air.
Voluntary Quiet Upgrade
Symptom: Console works fine but the original 17-blade NIDEC is too noisy for the room.
Fix: Optional upgrade to 23-blade Delta / NMB — the most-requested PS5 quality-of-life mod.
Full Technical Specifications
What "PULL-A Grade" Actually Means
PULL-A parts are pulled from fully working PS5 consoles — recycled units, board swaps, customer trade-ins — never from broken or bricked machines. Each fan is then bench-verified before listing.
Tested for smooth spin-up, correct 12V draw, quiet bearing operation and full RPM under load.
Same airflow, same noise floor, same blade balance as a brand-new factory unit — at a working-pull price point.
Reusing healthy parts keeps working components out of landfill — same outcome, smaller footprint.
Manufacturing-fault cover for 12 months from purchase — we forward replacements from the Forest Lake bench.
