[@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.

[@kaballis]

Can’t thank you enough, I literally completed this tutorial an hour ago and my PS4 pro is purring, can’t wait to test with heavier games but so far sounds amazing running GoW and The Witcher.

[@IcyShamrock]

Thank you for this video! I was wondering why I still had airplane sounds coming from my PS4 after replacing the thermal paste already, but the thermal pads replacements and additions you showed here were the key to getting it super quiet. Even when I'm riding around in Red Dead 2, I could barely hear it kicking on the fan. And the heat dissipation seems great on top of it. Thanks again!

[@kubislavcze]

I used this guide for my second hand ps4 I recently bought. It was clear and very informative. I did not have so many spare pads and I did not use thermal paste, but TG carbonaut pad. PS is not as loud as it was, so for me, thats success. Thank You.

[@tomatkinson9133]

This is a great video which is detailed and explains everything very clearly. It helped me gain the confidence to rip apart my noisy PS4 pro and do the mod, and now my PS4 is nearly silent. I bought the advertised thermal paste and pads simply because they were well presented in the video and they were exactly what I needed. Great job, thank you!

Just did this to my ps4 pro I recently got, it used to rev up the fan pretty quick in games. It is the latest ps4 pro so the big aluminium piece used for cooling is a little different and it dose not have that shielding but other than that it was pretty much like the video. It dosen't seemed to rev up anymore and stays a lot cooler so it seems to work pretty good now. Thanks 👍👍

[@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.

[@DonMatikx]

Hi mate. I have a question to you. If you recognized more hotter backsite of the console than before replacement of the thermopast and -pads, the power supply unit is overheat? My PSU have got damage because of a bad soldering of the elements in the PSU and hot air which come from the heatsink. One more question at the end. What do you think about an addtional fan at the bottom cover near the processor to eliminate the hot air which come through the PSU?

[@RRGC]

Actually my PSU works fine and I've modded my PS4 pro over a year ago and the heat gets spreaded more evenly via the ESD shielding. I think that an additional fan would cause the designed airflow to no work properly anymore. Also it would only change the air temperature a little bit and add extra noise.

my ps4pro went from full throttle jet engine to almost silent in full load. Subscribed!

[@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 . 😊

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.

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. 😉

In your opinion would a raspberry pi mini heatsink work on the hdmi chip or not enough clearance?

To be honest I'm not sure if there's enough clearance but you could give it a shot since the raspberry pi low profile heatsinks are pretty cheap to buy.

[@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.

@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.

Two packages of the linked ones 😋

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

[@RRGC]

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

[@laruejr3451]

@@RRGC good cuz that’s what I purchased earlier tonight lol

[@MarcosNobre]

I found the difference in temperature very absurd, I already changed the thermal paste on mine, changing only the thermalpads will give such a significant result?

[@RRGC]

It will be more silent with this solution because the thermal Pads will conduct more Heat away from the Chips to the ESD shielding.

[@nilswieczorek8617]

Worked very well, played RDR2 directly after the install and the ps4 is almost completely silent 🔥

There should be a HDMI chip in every PS4 model but I'm not sure if it also controlles part of the fan speed in a slim model.

[@nishok4052]

Would you recommend using Conductonaut liquid metal over kryonaut for the PS4 Pro??

[@RRGC]

I would not because it’s not worth the risk damaging your system and also it’s even pricier than Kryonaut. The PS 5 has an anti leakage ring around the APU because of the Liquid Metal and that’s for a reason. 😊

[@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?

[@solidsnake1089]

Do you think the pad on hdmi chip make contact with the metal shield ? i think not.

[@RRGC]

What could it be ? I'm open for your opinion may be im wrong 😊

[@solidsnake1089]

@@RRGC I can confirmed it does not contact with metal shield, the height is too high

[@RRGC]

Ohh okay mhhh then it's just helping the general heat dissipation. Maybe I should use a higher pad too. 😊 Thanks for the information.

@@RRGC I think the height is about 5mm or higher.

Okay I'll check it out the next time when I'll refresh the thermal paste.

[@jojejj]

Hey, I'm going to clean my ps4, and I'm also going to change the thermal paste and pads. Is it safe to use 70% Isopropyl Alcohol? And is it safe if it gets on some parts of the area around the cpu?

[@RRGC]

I actually don't know how safe 70% isopropyl alcohol will be because of the 30%water content. You should be fine with 99.5% on the PCB around the APU. Personally I'd prefer the 99.5% version.

[@jojejj]

@@RRGC okay thanks, keep up the good work :))

@@jojejj don't use that, i killed a gtx 980 with that, get some proper alcohol

Thank you for the kind words ☺️

[@RRGC]

Yes 99.5% should be used because of the low water content. Anything lower can damage the PCB or parts due to conductivity. 😊
