Chosen Solution
So my Ps4pro sounds like a jet, I borrowed my friend’s to compare and make sure, my friend’s is whisper quiet in comparison. Even in 1080p it still sounds embarrassingly loud. I saw your post in YouTube about loud standard ps4 and how changing the fan solves the problem. My question is, does the same fix work on pro too!? Are you positive that there won’t be any “anomalies” after I have the fan replaced? I’d appreciate the !&&* outta an good answer. Update (05/12/2018) So fan replacement didn’t work either. I live in a place without official sony repair centers, can anybody help?
Before replacing fan, try this way, in my case have solved completely:
- unassemble console
- replace thermal paste
- start to assemble console but when you mount backplate X element, mount it reversed (central sphere outside, corner far from mainboard)
- This make a better contact of chipset surface against heatsink
- Close console and try In my situation (delta fan) my PS4 pro reduce loudnes from 70db to 50db in same situation and now rumor it’s not always on but change based on activity on screen (more sense) Bye
according to the troubleshooting guide that should work here is our fan replacement guide for the Pro. PlayStation 4 Pro Fan Replacement
