    Pro tip: If you are going to buy a PS4 Pro, make sure you buy one made 2018 or later with the small power cord connector. This is guaranteed to be the thermally improved model and will not sound "like a jet engine". That's what I did just recently. Mine is very quiet, a little louder than my PS5. If you want it AS quiet as a PS5, you will have to replace the thermal paste with Arctic 4 or similar and most of all, replace the thermal pads with cut-to-fit Grizzlies. I will probably do a video of this on my channel shortly.

      @@CarsandCats , Upgrade internal drive to 2tb and hook up two 8tb external hard drives. Now, yes you can have both external drives connected to the PS4 at the same time but only one of them can be active. All you have to do is go to settings, devices,USB devices,and click which one you want to be active and then when ready you can go switch which is active again and go play. Essentially, with a USB 3.0-3.1 hub you could have more storage than that.

    If someone has this problem and doesn't want to take it completely apart what you want to do is remove the top cover. Take a flashlight and shine it into the fan housing towards the power supply. If you look in there and see a wall of dust that's a big part of your problem. The issue with Pro and OG PS4 is with the fan housing and radiator. The fins are really close together and they create a wall of dust. I have a 1st gen Pro and that thing is loud when playing demanding games like GoW Ragnarok but otherwise isn't bad. Like other commenters said the 2nd gen Pro is much quieter.

      I just installed GoW Ragnarök and even before reaching the main menu I thought there was something seriously wrong with my PS4 Pro because no other game has caused it to get that unbelievably loud. It’s the first time I’ve thought about even opening up the console to clean it, but I think I’ll have to at this point. How loud should the Pro get with Ragnarök even if the console is totally clean?

Because I don't own a PC myself I'm just a console gamer but I'm wanting to upgrade my ps4 pro because I simply don't have a spare 500 kicking about that I can spend on a upgrade to ps5. Any info is appreciated bud and as always have a good day.

    While not a ps4 pro. I recently cleaned out my original ps4, it was surprisingly easy to clean out and change thermal paste with using the ifixit guide. I now love watching people clean out devices, it’s very therapeutic seeing a dead console or dirty console looks like it new. Now it sounds like a normal console (not silent but so much quieter) whereas before it was very loud.

    I would add to swap out the HDD with an SSD. It loads in games almost three times faster. Some are close to 5x faster. Bloodborne is about 2.5~3x faster in loading maps (similarly with all Soulsborne map loads), Dragon Quest XI is about 3~5x depending on the map, Dragon Quest Builders 1 takes about 1/2 the time to build each new world, and Builders 2 loads every map change with the ship about twice as fast.

  • @ecchi12

    To share my experience. I got a ps4 pro bundled with GT Sport during it's release. I've often just cleaned the fan by opening up the lid because at some point my ps4 made noise with almost all modern games and cleaning the fan never really made that much difference. I even used my PS4 Pro with the lid slightly put aside which works somewhat.
    My tip is to first open up the ps4 pro until you need to remove the power supply (DON'T remove the cable, keep it attached to the console as this is why many people destroy their console) and clean every section properly and especially the bottom side of the ps4 pro, heatsink and fan. Mine was never really dusty tbh so I didn't expected my ps4 to be so quiet after that its been 2 months now. I assume that even not much dust affects how quick the fan turns on. Replacing thermal paste isn't really worth the stuff that can go wrong with your model. Im surviving until ps5 pro :p

      also,
      gotta say...
      love how you called it a "Sanity Check", lol
      but yeah...
      you autta use GC Extreme,
      I open up my PS4 pro Frequently to clean out and re-paste if needed...
      just recently redone it the other day because the fans were gettin pretty loud again,
      opened it up to discover I last used Arctic Silver because it was all i had at the time...
      (Wont be doin that again)
      over the years I've tried and tested many thermal compounds,
      now I wont use anything but GC extreme...
      i swear down by the stuff,
      so take this as my random Recommendation.

      It’s honestly not too bad if you watch a couple tutorials on dissembling PS4/PS4 Pro. Give yourself at least 3-4 hours if you are going to do a deep clean w/repasting. Also look to get some compressed air or a way to remove the dust you will find in your console along w/some good thermal paste, q-tips, & 90% isopropyl alcohol for cleaning the heat sink and gpu.

    With respect i say: Just put God of War on the Main menu and leave it for 10 minutes with super sample enabled, after that came and say some update on your video showing the results. Believe me it takes more than fresh thermal paste to solve the jet engine. By default its the design choice of sony for the ps4 pro and it sounds like that period. Remove the both covers and you have the most silent console ever.

    I did this with my ps4, the jet sound completely gone and it's quieter than a ps5 and certainly faster that other players using ps4, only problem I have now is all my controllers keep developing stick drift even a brand new controller so it's not the controllers themselves causing it, any ideas anyone?

      Has to be controllers. Ps4 only takes the signal and uses it. Can't introduce drift on ps4 side
