SCRY: The First AI-Powered PS5 Coolers & Fast-Cooling SSDs

All Projects

The first smart cooling fan with built-in thermal chip to prevent PS5 overheating and powerful cooling high-speed SSDs upgrades.

Why Kickstarter, Why SCRY?

The community means everything to us, and launching on Kickstarter enables us to get feedback and manufacture products sustainably. Also, we’ve proven a good track record featuring in 50+ media outlets and backed by 95% positive reviews from our existing users!

Since launch, we’ve sold 20,000+ units of Artic V1 and garnered positive reviews globally! But we didn’t stop — users’ feedback has been key in helping us refine and innovate our product.

Let’s learn more about our products. 

Why Artic PS5 Coolers?

We all love the power of the PS5, but with that power comes the heat! The CPU and GPU generate massive heat, which can lead to overheating.

This heat can cause your system to crash or shut down to prevent further damage, and over time, it can even shorten your PS5’s lifespan leading to costly repairs!

At EVO 2023, issues surfaced when USB accessories overheated and melted in PS5s, likely due to high temperatures around the console’s rear, as noted by Kotaku

But don’t worry — the Artic PS5 cooler got your back! 

It optimizes airflow to vent heat out of your PS5, protecting the internal parts and boosting its lifespan. No more sudden shutdowns or potential overheating during intense gaming sessions. Plus, it keeps performance smooth, so you can keep playing for hours without any slowdowns!

Experience high airflow with the Artic PS5 Cooler (RIGHT), compared to the standard airflow (LEFT). The Artic cooler ensures optimal cooling, while the original setup leaves your PS5 vulnerable due to limited ventilation.

01 – Smart Thermal Chip

The Smart Thermal AI sensor automatically adjusting fan speed based on PS5’s temperature. When your PS5 heats up past 50°C, it cranks the fans to max, then gradually slows down as temps drop below 49°C.

The cooler delivers high airflow at max speed (LEFT), and switches to low speed (RIGHT) when idle, ensuring efficient cooling without unnecessary noise. 

The Artic V2 takes 2-3 minutes to adjust and reduce fan speed, while Artic S needs 3-5 minutes due to PS5 Slim’s smaller vents which takes longer to fully dissipate the heat. 

02 – Enhanced Airflow

The Artic PS5 Cooler enhances airflow and heat dissipation with its large surface area of the Lamella frame.

It works by pulling heat out of the rear vent, preventing heat buildup within the CPU and GPU. 

03 – Hyperfluid Dynamic Fans

Upgraded from previous gen, the fans are better than ever with adaptive features to compliment the thermal chip.

04 – Patented Lamella Design

Featuring our signature patented design, it was designed to have large surface area for quicker heat dissipation. This enhances the airflow of the PS5.

05 – SuperSpeed USB Port

The SuperSpeed USB port act as a passthrough with the support up to 10Gbps. Compatible with any PS5 supported devices with no compromises.

06 – Flexible Setup

As always, our Artic PS5 coolers support horizontal and vertical setups, suitable for any gaming setup.

07 – Plug & Play

08 – PS5 Thermal Test

Thermal testing is a big deal to craft the coolest cooler! We ran the numbers with and without the Artic PS5 cooler, and our engineers made sure it nailed the sweet spot for keeping temps and noise low.

We used Fluke thermal imaging camera to capture external temps. Under heavy load, the Artic S cooler shown a 9°C reduction at the hottest point, the Ethernet port. To put things into perspective, imagine the weather goes down by 9°C — it’s a significant change!

Test done on a first-gen PS5 with the largest copper heatsink, we saw an impressive 5°C drop, impressive right? 

07 – Noise Level Test

The redesigned Dynamic Hyperfluid fan runs at just 31 dB to 38 dB — about as gentle as a soft chat. At full speed, it’s still audible with the PS5’s own fan, and when idle, it’s nearly silent, giving you a smooth, uninterrupted experience.

At 0.5 meter distance, the Artic PS5 cooler paired with the internal PS5 fan generates around 36 dB of noise under load, that is average noise level at home.
