I got tired of my PS5 shutting off when it overheated so I made some modifications. This fan is a perfect fit on the first generation PS5. The tabs and the usb port line up perfectly for for a good fit. If you have your's horizontal like I do, you will have to position that horrible stand over a bit so it doesn't touch the fan - or you can do what I did and buy the NexiGo horizontal stands which are much better than the original. I also paired this with new faceplates (DOBEWINGDELOU) that have vents above and below the internal fan. Those let in more air and this fan blows out the hot air.
When I first turn it on, if I stick my hand in the back, I can feel cool air coming out. Later I can feel the warm air being blown out. Not one overheating shut-down since I installed this.
It has 3 settings. It does light up blue when its on. There is no way to turn that off, but it's not that bright and it doesn't bother me at all. It is not silent. I sit about 6 ft from the console. I keep it set on medium and when the game is quiet I can hear it, but otherwise I don't notice it. If it were on low, I wouldn't hear it. The high setting might bother me. The "auto" on/off does NOT mean that it turns itself on/off. If you have it on when you turn off your PS5, it will turn off with it. Then, when you turn the PS5 back on, the fan will automatically turn on to the same setting. I like that.
