PS4 Pro Almost silent [Mod]

[@id104335409]

Why is everyone calling this a mod???🤔

[@RRGC]

Because Parts of the original cooling solution of the PS4 Pro get exchanged for better parts and some new cooling parts are added. modification /ˌmɒdɪfɪˈkeɪʃn/ noun the action of modifying something. "the parts supplied should fit with little or no modification" Hence the Term Mod (short term for modification) 😊 Take Care yours The Red Rage Gaming Crew. 👍🤗

[@id104335409]

@@RRGC Bro, what are you talking about? I rewatched your video because I thought I'm going crazy. You did NOT modify anything. That's REPLACING the thermal compound and pads. Replacing is not the same as modifying. That's like changing the carpets in your house and claiming that you refurbished it. Don't try and make stuff up and try to paint me as a fool by throwing the dictionary at me. You are literally calling the Moon a Sun and pointing at me like I'm the crazy person. Changing your thermal paste is not mod. It has never been called a mod. A mod is when you cut a hole in your PS and slap a huge fan on it. There are people who literally pull the board out and make Custom Builds with custom made cooling solutions. Is your PS4 a custom build now that you swapped the cooling pads? Come on man, let's be honest here.

[@RRGC]

Thanks for your reply Id. I get your point it’s not a custom build and we ripped nothing out or modified the externals of the PlayStation and you are absolutely right about that. 😉 But we also modified the way the ps4 is transferring the heat away from the APU by adding thermal interface material where there was nothing on the ESD shielding. Also we further reduced the Fan RPM of the PlayStation by adding thermal pads to the HDMI chip because that partially controls the fan speed. So maybe we could agree on that it’s not a big mod, like changing it to watercooling. But even exchanging the thermal paste against a better one would be by definition a mod. 😊 Thank you for the update take care 👍

[@willionaire77]

@@id104335409but he didn' just "replace" the termal compound... he used a different thermal compound than the factory one and he also added thermal compund to places where there was none - for added benefit. So calling it just a "replacement" instead of a mod is just semantics at this point. This video was very helpful and I rather might try this modification to a stock PS4 Pro rather than make a frankenstein console out of it and drilling huge holes into it with external fans - or experiment with questionable liquid metal at my own risk of damaging it if it spills and shorts the PS4..... 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@santosdr2]

It isn't much of a modification at all. It seems pretty standard, I just did something very similar and in no way would I say I modified the ps4 pro. I just wanted to clean out the old thing because it was overheating and being loud. I cleaned it up, add some thermal paste as the stock stuff was no longer working well. My ps4 is very quiet now now longer overheating but the real test is coming since the temperatures in my area are getting warm. Last summer mY ps4 would bug out. here is to hoping it will fare better this summer. When I bought the ps4 I added a SSD that was a slight modification that even then isn't much of a "MOD" since it is very easy to do. Requiring less work then adding new thermal paste.

Огромное спасибо за видео.

[@RRGC]

привет, спасибо за температурный тест и отличный комментарий. Рад, что наша инструкция помогла. 😊

[@johannestree1306]

I did it yesterday. A few things came up to my mind. 1. Why is there no thermal pad behind the main cpu? would that transfer more heat away? 2. the HDMI pad doesn't really have contact to any metal. 3. the most important part of the ps4 pro "tuning" are not extra thermal pads, but cleaning the cooler unit. btw. the best way to get rid of old thermal paste are baby wipes (the ones without oil) and an old electric toothbrush. isopropanol afterwards.

[@RRGC]

1. Because it works without and is still silent. 2. it varies by revision of the ps4 pro. 3. the HDMI chip regulates the Fan Speed curve so the noise level greatly benefits from better heat transfer. 👍😋

[@PiotrJareckiOfficial]

Hello, I have a question. I have readed that adding thermalpad for HDMI chip make console quieter because there is located temperature sensor on it which controls also fan speed. I would like to do this for my PS4 Pro but I am afraid one thing. If hdmi sensor gives data for fan speed, is lower temperatures on it and makeing fan spinning lower not affecting cpu bad in some way or other cooled parts inside? Like, ok hdmi is cooler fan speed lower but now cpu temps are higher from that and it makes degrade cpu chip faster or even phisicaly destroy it or bonding with mainboard? I am afraid it will spin too low and pro patched high demanding games will cook faster some other parts. Could you give me some informations about it, like how is your console after some time with it and if you tested it on long term with some demanding titles? Also if I would like to do this mod for HDMI chip how is the size of thermalpad for it, I guess there is more space to metal plate from it than 1mm like on videoram chips?

[@RRGC]

Hi Piotr, First of all my modded PS4 pro is running quietly for about 3 years so no there is nothing wrong with internal temps because the additional thermal pads transfer the heat away via the metal shielding. I only used the 1mm pads that are linked under the video the fitted perfect. 😉👍

[@buurakacar]

You are right, applying a thermal pad over HDMI may be harmful. Low fan means high temperature.

[@RRGC]

@buurakacar and yet our modded PS4 Pro works since 4 Years. Since the temperature is also removed from the other components through pads the overall heat should lower. So modding the HDMI chip only add to the overall mod.

[@TheTruthBeToId]

Should've shown us an audio sound of the console running a graphics heavy game after 30min or an hour to really hear if it worked.

[@RRGC]

That’s a good idea. I’ve forgot it back then because of time constraints😊 I can say it is definitely quieter after modding even when playing graphics intensive games for 2-4 hours. 🙂 Thanks for your comment TheTruthBeTold you are welcome ☺️👍

[@masterwong3837]

How thick were those thermal pads you used? 1, 1,5, or 2mm? Is thicker better?

[@RRGC]

Hi Master Wong thank you for your question. The pads are 1mm in thickness as written in the Video description. You shouldn’t use thicker ones because it’s pretty snug inside a PS4 😄

[@FrgottenFrshness]

refreshing my Ps4 Pro with a Kryosheet and some Gelid Solutions GP-Ultimate 15W- Thermal Pad that have been proven to outperform the minus pad 8s

[@RRGC]

Yes that’s a superior solution but it wasn’t around when we made the video. 😅

[@aCiDzZ123]

What size Kryosheet did you use?

[@RRGC]

@aCiDzZ123 1mm link is in the description 😉

Going to do this to my pro today thank you for the video

Have fun modding and you are welcome 😊👍

[@Rosewoodtone]

So how is your ps4 pro doing now is it still quiet? Did you ever have to reapply thermal paste again after awhile?

[@RRGC]

Na it’s still very quiet. 😊

[@sslipknot6666]

Would the addition of extra thermal pads on the hdmi chip and heatsink clamp work with the cuh 7200 series of ps4 pros? The 7200s have a slightly different layout with the heatsink clamps and cover plates.

[@RRGC]

Im Not sure about the 7200 series model because no one I know owns this specific model but maybe it's worth a shot . 😊

[@MirzaKhalid]

Same mine is cuh-7100 series and the internals are a bit different than yours in the video. And is it wise to put thermal pad on HDMI chip? Sony didn't put it for a reason maybe.

[@olly6952]

Hi, what's the thickness of the thermal pad used? Thnxs

[@RRGC]

0.5mm thickness. Thanks for your comment and you are welcome 🤗

[@olly6952]

thanks for the reply. But do you replace the pad or put it over the old one?

[@RRGC]

Always replace it 😊 also happy new years 🥳

[@bilawalmalik230]

I really like that your laughing on the tiny things. About the length of the video... I could watch you or anyone else MOD all day long. Specially while smoking a J (; Can you tell me about your table, like what material is it made of? Love from Pakistan!

[@Jacob-hl3gt]

I thought you shouldn't put a pad on HDMI. Will that not hurt your system? Nobody else does this. Also, does it matter if I use a cheaper brand of thermal pads?

[@RRGC]

My PS4 pro is still working and silent. I haven't had any heat issues so far and the system is stable while gaming for a long time. 😉 You could use cheaper thermal products but they could be inferior due to lower thermal conductivity. As always. If you are unsure about modifications, don't do it. Because this ist only a proposition, not a must. 👍😁

[@Jacob-hl3gt]

@@RRGC thank you. Is this very good? Thermal Conductivity: 1.2(W/M-K)

[@cemsengul16]

I personally did not put a pad on the HDMI chip.

[@markusk.3162]

Hi. This Mod seems to be very cool. ;) What temperatures do you measure on the topside of the console skin and the rear (heat-exhaust) before and after this mod?

[@RRGC]

As it was about silencing the fan I didn't measure the temperature at the exhaust. But the backside only gets lukewarm after the mod and the top gets a bit hotter. It seems the heat now dissipates through the case metal parts.

[@20alpha20]

Would you be able to do one of these tutorials for the phat PS3? With the thermal pads and paste?

[@RRGC]

I'm sorry Perez I only have a slim ps3 and the fat ones are hard to get here. 😓

I will try it but how many thermal pad you use Set of 2 in one pack or set of 2 in 2 pack ( 4 pads ) Just wanna order right Thanks

[@RRGC]

I used two packs of them ☺️👍

[@20alpha20]

I just did this, exactly as you did, the PS4 pro turned on, played Spiderman for 5 mins then turned off, now it won't turn on at all, it Beeps, then second time beeps quick blue light then turns off! Why?

[@RRGC]

Have you reconnected the fan cable correctly? Also check all the ribbon cables inside, maybe there is something loose. 👍

[@20alpha20]

@@RRGC * Now it turns on! I left it over night and works, it's quiet, but it does feel hot 😅 it's a mystery haha

[@RRGC]

@@20alpha20 thats great news 👍😀 maybe the paste needed to spread and settle a little bit. Also you could check if the mounting pressure on the APU is high enough if this happens again. And now go on gaming and have fun with your now silent PS4 😁

[@20alpha20]

@@RRGC yes your probably right, the second time I did this I made sure that the clamps were tight on APU! And yeah the thermal paste needed time to spread properly, thank you once again for this tutorial, I hope it helps many more like me 👍🏼 time to game haha

You are welcome ☺️

[@anthonymoreno2216]

This mod worked really well but I’ve been noticing a lot a frame drops in games now. Is this maybe due to the PS4 running hotter from the top?

[@RRGC]

This is somewhat unusual. May be if your ps4 runs too hot in the top you should remove the hdmi chip cooling pad again. I haven't noticed any frame drops on my ps4 pro but it's the pro model.

[@PiotrJareckiOfficial]

Hey, did you removed hdmi cooling pad or what was the problem?

Is there an upload of this without the music? I can't hear the speech

If you were to replace the fan in a cuh-7215 ps4 pro what do you think is the best performing fan out there

I think it’s only Nidec or delta an nidec ones perform better. 😊

Hello, what thickness of thermal pad did you use? My second question is, will it cause any harm if I stick a thermal pad on the HDMI chipset?

[@andreaabate86]

Hi, very nice your video. Many thanks, I have same issue and I hope to solve definitly in this way. Just a question, what do you think to apply the thermal pad also on the others chipset of the mainboard e.g. DDR3 RAM chipset and others? Waiting your answer, many thanks again!

[@RRGC]

Thank you Andrea. I've applied the thermal pads to the ram chips. It's the ones around the APU all the other chips except the ram and hdmi chip wont generate that much heat so I don't think it's worth the extra money. 😉
