Bought before NG at a discount. So far I've played spider-man, horizon, god of war, uncharted 4, detroit - super games. Much has been written about noise. Things are like this for me, 70% of the time the prefix is almost inaudible, sometimes the cooler starts to gain momentum strongly (for example, Otto's laboratory in spider-man) and then returns to normal again. Choke crackling is also heard, as I understand it, it is not a warranty case and many people have a problem, and at certain moments it is heard more strongly than the cooler at minimum levels (showing the map in the same spider-man). It seems like things are more fun with the cover removed, air circulation is better, there is less noise, but dust will clog faster into the radiator. Why Sony did not make a grill on the top cover for better air intake is not entirely clear. The new revision, judging by the reviews, is a little quieter, but the problem of chokes was not solved.
