The XBoxOne will be near silent. And the PS4??

My launch PS3 was quiet and it incorporated the large slow rpm fan. Launch 360 was awful. Dont see how you can lump it with PS3. Sony a hardware company all of a sudden cant make hardware? C'mon son.
You are incorrect.
Edit: Bish is right - I'd love to see the email addresses of some of the new members in here.

My only concern is the amount of fake concern posts/FUD we seem to be seeing on the uptick on the interwebs.
I mean, the OP reaches an impossible conclusion. Basically "oh the XBox One is going to silent."
How does he know? He can tell by the vents? A picture of a fan? That's ludicrous.
Twitter gaf, someone must step up.

We should make a new thread with a collection of legendary first posts to celebrate GAF lol
If you consider the launch PS3 as quiet then I'd say your standards for console noise levels are really low.
Still fits.

Wait, are you saying the PS3 was louder? Because no Playstation was ever as loud as the dvd drive in the 360. Before they added the ability to install games, 360 was near unplayable to me.

I can get with it when there's actual wit involved.
That first post has no logic and is only funny before you put any thought into the supposed 'wit' backing it
I'll admit I chuckled when I first read it and then I thought about it and you know what? Doesn't deserve this much attention. In fact they often don't and I've watched and chimed in on whole threads being derailed because GAF wants to laff. Two hundred and ninety-second post nailed it
Hey wow. I wasn't back seat modding or doing anything bannable and you can't even act like I was. Don't even try that shizz just because I expressed personal distaste over how people react to even the most average first posts.

In cooling, a bigger fan vs. a smaller fan:
To move the same volume of air, a smaller fan needs to spin at a faster RPM. Faster RPM = louder noise.
Faster RPM also means a higher pitched noise, which is generally more annoying than lower pitched noises.
Bigger fans are also generally attached to bigger heatsinks, and bigger heatsinks are generally more effective in transferring heat away from the die, resulting in better cooling performance, which also means that you don't have to have the fan on so fast, which again means lower noise.
edit: audible noise also comes from the disc drive and the hard drive, too. These things are independent of whatever heatsink/fan is in the system.

I love you GAF never change.
Ein Bear, you are on your way to becoming the SunhiLegend of first posts.
So yeah, as a few people may know, I have this slight obsession with silent hardware. Maybe because my 40GB PS3 turned into a in-my-livingroom jet-engine after about an hour of Uncharted 2 or other demanding titles. A truly deafening roar.
So if possible, I want to avoid running into a similar noise trap with my next console. The XBOne has me covered there, with a look like a swiss cheese and a cooling solution that can only be described as "ample".
So, any info on the PS4 would be really appreciated
You try cleaning your ps3s vents? After playing blops 2 when it was released it was really loud. Took a cotton swab and a can of air spray to the vents and was quiet once again.
Ps3 slim btw

I literally burst out laughing.
Bigger fans need to spin slower to push the same amount of air as smaller fans.
Ironically, yours is worse. Well done.
Not hard to imagine somebody unaware of the DRM scheme picking one up and then not using it once they figure out the thing requires an Internet connection to play single player.

I think Microsoft said in the conference that the Xbone will be very quiet so that is where he probably got it from. What's wrong with hoping the PS4 is a quiet box?
No one wants to buy the Xbone so it won't be turned on at all.
First post etc etc
Quiet is nice, but this issue isn't that important to me. If I can deal with the horrendous jet engine noise my 360 made after the X-clamp fix, I can deal with anything.

Oh snap, amazing first post!
Do the dimensions restrict anything?can they fit a 120mm fan and housing next to the bluray drive (isn't that also around 120mm)? Didn't look like much space to stack them.
I'd like Sony to show us the internals
as soon as the thread is launched, the GAF Gods see it a pyre and the proof that mortals seek Their Just Words; if happy with the thread, the GAF Gods imbue the first reply with Wisdom that few Men can sustain without cracking a smile or throwing themselves out of the window.
It is said, many a worker browsing GAF has been heard suppressing a laugh and seen running out of the office to compose himself.
The Gaf Gods are mischievious.
Oh yes. Oh yes.

I do find the position of the ports halfway up the back as quite interesting, as if the system board is also halfway up inside the case.
I assume they are using laptop-style cooling, i.e. a routed exhaust.
My laptop is also an AMD SoC style thing and it barely gets lukewarm, the fan rarely if ever spins up. Of course, the GPU is not in the same class as the PS4.
