  • The PS4 Pro is notorious for getting extremely loud during stress. The fan sounds like its a plane taking off! In this video, I show you how to reduce that sound by ensuring that the fan is completely cleaned thoroughly and properly. This helps by reducing the amount of rpm it needs to be at to get the same kind of circulation over the heatsink.

      One issue I have found in your video, you didn't completely reassemble the PRO as you claimed, the front corner under the Sony logo was not clipped down properly, just a minor thing but I think worth pointing out for future vids.

    a bit late but heres a lil tip for you too cautious people out there.
    Follow steps until cleaning the fan.
    Set the ps4 upside down(fan facing the ground) on something thats higher or equal to your height(mines on my cupboard with counter weight) with the fan showing or not covered.
    Clean walls of the actual fan part with ear buds(i wet mine with my own saliva, broke style)
    Get toothpicks and a bit of toilet paper and i mean a bit, literally fingernail size, double that up and wrap it around the toothpick, wet your finger with saliva and "glue" the toilet paper closed and you can pick between the very close parts that the ear bud cant reach.
    (Reason for ps4 being upside down is when you accidentally flick dust, it falls to the ground instead of back into ps4.
    peeps probably wont read this but it helped me. Cheers

      If you can’t get subtitles, probably the most important thing he says is to not use a compressed air keyboard cleaner because it can blow the dust into the system and cause it to malfunction; don’t use anything abrasive; use a micro fiber cloth and Q-tips with a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol; don’t use a vacuum, at all; don’t use water.

    For the people that want the noise to be more down you have ti clean the vent ( heat sync) behind the fan you can see it through the fan it gets clogged and then it gets really hot so by cleaning the vent it helps with over heating and noise ( alot of parts you have to take out for that tho)😪

    Cleaning it can help. Changing the thermal paste can help just as much (often more).
    Yet, some Pros have a fan that's naturally loud. It's either Nydek or another brand and they were mostly used in the early Pros. In the case of those you literally have to replace it to get rid of the insanely loud noise, if you have it. You simply buy the other fan model on Ebay and replace yours (both are identical in shape but not quality, obviously).
    Better yet and for the adventurous, you can mod the console with another slow moving fan that cools the APU and 8gb memory modules for very silent use. It can be done for about $50 and a bit of work.
    *Even crazier* is the passive cooling option. I've seen it done on a base PS4 but not Pro. Anyway, it's changing the case completely to a custom case that's more or less a giant heat sink. A guy in Denmark (iirc) makes beautiful passive cases for his consoles and made one for his PS4. Totally silent. I want one.

      Cleaning your fan is just a preference to me, depending on the load is how loud that fan will be, I can play Mafia three and MLB 18 in 4k and it doesn't scream, it will for just a bit when you start up God of War or Detroit, but then it calms down. People have to realize that it's a computer and the bigger the CPU load on a PC and the faster the fan spins, it's just how it is.

      @@mathewhastings9485 I get that. Nothing wrong with keeping it clean I just think the fan design is poor. Not that I'm a fanboy for xbox but on top of my pro I have a One X and previously had a OG one and they are dead silent under load on anything. They both run 120mm fans so more air less rotation. I think but am not 100% that the ps4 and pro fans are 80 mm which spin faster (louder) when needing to move more air. Some AMD gpus use the same design a vortex fan if you will and those cards are loud too. I know it's not all the time and it ramps up in certain situations but it's bothersome for me. That's just me though.

      I have never actually done this on a ps4 pro, since mine is quite silent even after one year and a half of service, but on my old xbox 360 I had a noise and overheating problem. I opened it and cleaned the dust and it actually fixed the overheating but the fan was always at the maximum speed. At the end I opened it again and replaced the thermal paste that was completely dry and now... well it's still a jet engine like every xbox 360 before slim models but the noise is reduced to bearable levels.
      Long story short your problem might be the thermal paste and not the dust, if you're confident in disassembling your ps4 completely it might be worth to replace it.

      i tried to spin it by finger and it was barely moving. then i spent like an hour attempting to get even just a few drops into the core or center.
      wd40 is not a lube realy but can clean stuff. wd40 kinda sucks in general but desperate times.
      anyways long story short it did get my fan spinning and not just that but i think up to full speed.
      i tried to angle the straw under the center of the fan then hit it in mist form from the top a few times.
      now when i spin it by finger it keeps spinning for a good amount of time.
      i know wd40 is not great long term on most things but they do make special electronics contact cleaner that is safe on electronics and supposedly cleans pretty good.
      that might be the best bet.
      i just did this a couple days ago so longterm???? might end up killing the ps4 lol who knows.

    Cleaning the dust out of your console will only help slightly as this will cause the fan to perform better & hence kick in just as quick as if it was dirty... What is being dismissed here is a design fault by Sony pure & simple...
    Sure Sony built the base model with a Fan & the PS4 Pro also but unfortunately certain game's just push the console harder therefore making the consoles cooling fans kick in too soon & too damn loud & its the worst I've ever experienced with Doom Eternal which I bought the digital version today & then played the game tonight only to find the game looks & runs brilliantly but I cant hear the gaming content over the noise of the fan...
    My console & fan are clean/along with it being in a very well ventilated space it's the fact that Sony have designed it this way, couldnt they have done the same job but designed it with a quiet fan!..
    I'm all for my fan(s) kicking in if I've been playing a while but with Doom Eternal it kicks in right away & goes away for short periods only to come back again...
    The only way I've gotten it to stop is when i click on my PS4 Controller to bring up the Map or if i have Paused it via my Controller & Sony need to do something with regards an update patch that stops the fans from kicking in so soon, either that or ID need to bring out an update patch to help with this as I've never known my console to become so loud so quickly & it's only with Doom Eternal that it does this...
    Sure the fans will kick in if I'm playing other game's but that's usually after about 45 minutes to an hour & not as soon as I start to play Doom Eternal... The irony... lol
    I've looked forward to this game (like everyone else) for so long & now that I've got it I have to Blast My TV Volume Up to a point that it shouldn't need to go to but if I don't I can't hear what's happening during gameplay...
    Since I moved into a smaller flat many year's ago I dispensed with all my Surround Sound Equipment & huge speakers as the flat was just too small & I therefore bought a Soundbar and though they do the job nicely I don't want to end up in jail because I've been boxing with my neighbours because I'm using my Sound Bar late at night into the early morning because the fan on a console is so loud I need to use a soundbar or turn up the volume on my TV just hear the in game gameplay sounds...
    This is something Sony haven't ever really tackled & it's been down to gamer's to try out & buy so called Cooling Stands & for most part for what I've heard they don't work for the PS4 or Pro or the difference is so minimal its pointless buying these 3rd party cooling stands...
    And before Console Fan Boy Zealots say you should've bought an Xbox One I already have an Xbox One, as I'll buy whatever console that will deliver specific exclusive game's only they can, & the noise of fans shouldn't come into this as soon as you start a game...
    I've had this happen with a few game's but not to this severity & again I'll stress I wouldn't mind if the fans kicked in only when needed but to kick in as soon as you've started a game is just wrong no matter what console its on or even if it's on a Pc...
    You'd expect this from a disc based game playing but the noise of the fans drowns out any disc game's I've initially installed also...
    When this first happened when I bought my PS4 Pro I decide to take it into my local indy Games Store that does all sorts of modifications & upgrades to console's & Pc's just to see if there was a fault with my PS4 Pro but the report came back that my console had no faults what so ever & that's just the way it was built!..
    So again I stress that Sony needs to try something before they usher in their Next Gen Console just like Microsoft & no doubt Nintendo will do in the coming year or more...
    Such a great game ruined by one's fan kicking in way too soon has been something I've noticed a lot on gaming forums for year's now but never really had an issue as much until now & I guess the more developer's push the graphics & sound capabilities of their game's the more this fan issue is going to happen & it's such a pity that some of the great game's that will be released just as this current gen system comes to an end, as all game's developer's usually deliver some of their best game's at end end of the life cycle of any particular console as they've had years to figure out how to best utilise said console than when it was first launched & these game's could be ruined because of something as simple as the noise coming from the consoles fans...
    Oh well rant over... lol
    In light of the Coronavirus stay safe and healthy & all the best where ever you are in the world...

    Mine automatically goes into jet mode playing anything AAA. As soon as god of war starts up the PS4 goes into jet mode in anticipation. Not like my pc which waits for temperatures to rise before doing that.

      Is it a PRO? If so that's an issue with the console having uncapped FPS during menus, a few games patched this out but many (COD, RDR2, etc) have yet to do so and probably never will hence why the console goes crazy on loading/menu screens as soon as you boot the game up.

    Not sure why people are complaining. Sony gave us an electric powered jet engine for $400! Tesla charges $10,000 for their batteries alone. #staywoke
