Technical Specifications
PlayStation 5 Model Compatibility
This 17-blade cooling fan is compatible with the following PS5 console models:
โ CFI-1015A / CFI-1015B
Standard PS5 Digital/Disc Edition. Common model with 17-blade NIDEC cooling fan. Direct replacement compatible.
โ CFI-1002A / CFI-1002B
Early production PS5 models. Uses 17-blade fan design. Compatible with this NIDEC replacement.
โ CFI-1016A / CFI-1016B
Updated PS5 revision. Still utilizes 17-blade cooling system in some production batches.
โ CFI-1018A / CFI-1018B
Later production PS5 consoles. Verify fan blade count before ordering (some use 23-blade fans).
โ ๏ธ How to Check Your PS5 Fan Type
Before ordering: Remove PS5 cover and visually inspect existing fan. Count blades (17 vs 23) or check part number on fan label. Some PS5 models shipped with 23-blade Delta/NMB fans instead of 17-blade NIDEC fans.
Common PS5 Cooling Problems This Fan Fixes
๐ฅ PS5 Overheating Shutdowns
Symptom: Console displays "PS5 is too hot" warning and powers off during gameplay.
Cause: Fan failure or insufficient airflow causing APU temperatures to exceed safe limits (95ยฐC+).
Solution: Replace faulty cooling fan to restore proper thermal management.
๐ Loud Buzzing Fan Noise
Symptom: PS5 fan produces loud buzzing, grinding, or rattling sounds during operation.
Cause: Worn fan bearings, dust accumulation, or blade imbalance in 17-blade NIDEC fans.
Solution: Replace noisy fan. Consider upgrading to quieter 23-blade fan for noise reduction.
โก Fan Not Spinning
Symptom: PS5 cooling fan doesn't spin on startup or stops during gameplay. Console overheats quickly.
Cause: Fan motor failure, damaged connector, or motherboard power issue.
Solution: Replace fan first. If problem persists, check motherboard fan header for damage.
๐ฎ Performance Throttling
Symptom: Games run at reduced FPS, stuttering, or graphical glitches due to thermal throttling.
Cause: CPU/GPU reducing clock speeds to prevent overheating when cooling is insufficient.
Solution: Restore cooling performance with new fan to eliminate thermal throttling.
๐จ Weak Airflow
Symptom: Little to no air exhaust from PS5 rear vents. Console runs hot but fan spins.
Cause: Fan spinning but blades damaged, dust clogged, or motor losing power output.
Solution: Replace fan and clean heatsink/airways for maximum cooling efficiency.
๐ง Post-Repair Fan Issues
Symptom: Fan problems developed after PS5 repair, cleaning, or disassembly.
Cause: Fan connector damage during service, cable pinched during reassembly, or fan contamination.
Solution: Install new replacement fan with proper cable routing and connector seating.
17-Blade vs 23-Blade Fan: What's The Difference?
Sony used two different cooling fan designs in PS5 production. Here's how they compare:
๐ก Pro Tip: Upgrade to 23-Blade Fan
Many technicians upgrade 17-blade fans to 23-blade versions for quieter operation. Both fans are cross-compatible with all PS5 models. The 23-blade fan provides equivalent cooling with significantly reduced noise levels.
