PS4 Pro Fan Noise Fix - Thermal Paste & Pads Upgrade

READ THE PINNED COMMENT BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS!!!
In this video I show you how to change the old thermal paste and pads located in your Playstation 4 Pro. The stock ones are very bad quality and cause a lot of heating issues. Replacing them keeps the system cool and improves overall performance.

7:03 - MISTAKE IN THE VIDEO!!! - - I PUT THE THERMAL PADS ON THE CHOKES INSTEAD OF THE VRAM LOL - DONT COPY WHAT I DID AND MAKE SURE YOU PUT IT ON THE MEMORY CHIPSET THATS RIGHT NEXT TO IT!!!! THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO CAUGHT It. 4:49 - TO REMOVE PSU YOU ALSO NEED TO TAKE OUT 2 SCREWS FROM THE UNDERSIDE, FLIP THE CONSOLE OVER AND THERE WILL BE 2 MORE SCREWS TO REMOVE.

Good to know. What was the difference in performance like after you corrected your mistake?

I literally caught the mistake a few minutes after i closed it up. So i didnt notice any difference from that. However, it is really really quiet now. The thermal paste did wonders as did the pads.

THIS IS AMAZING. Thank you man! I can barely believe how quiet my PS4 now is. I thoroughly cleaned everything as I had it all apart. I tried just the fan a couple months ago, but it did nothing. My heatsink was CLOGGED with dust. That, with the paste and pads, has reduced the noise it made by probably 90%

[@S1n3at3r]

Thanks to your video, I cleaned up the fans and heat sinks. The interesting thing was, there wasn't much dust in there. Replacing the Thermal pads and Thermal Paste really helped a lot. My PS4 sounded like a jet when playing Doom. Now it's much quieter and my fear of it melting down has subsided.

[@jakthebomb]

The output heat should be higher if the thermal paste is better. The Core Temps is what should be lower, unless you have a thermal probe attached to the APU, you won't be able to tell.

Awesome vid. My PS4 pro was loud as fuck to the point had to turn my tv up to max volume just to hear it. Took my PS4 apart and the thermal paste was dry so changed that put it all back together and was quiet for a few mins then back to being loud so took it apart again this time took everything out to get to heat sink and that was packed with dust so no wondering it was heating up cleaned it all and put it all back together now pure silence which is awesome 😎.

I got the Spiderman PS4 pro system, from brand new it was loud, no dust, must be just the crappy paste and thermal pads

[@mrlizard4321]

Still a very useful video in 2023! here are some pointers for anyone who wants to do this. For starters you can just get away with new Thermal Paste! the factory thermal paste that is on almost anything, be it a PS4 Pro or a AIO Cooler are just meh lol. With wear and tear over time, it loses it's effect with the amount of heat a PS4 Pro produces. For reference my thermal paste was barely even on the APU when I disassembled my PS4 Pro!! Tip 1: Start by disassembling the Power Supply first, this way you won't rip it off the motherboard!, if you disassemble the Power Supply and it still does not want to come out, you can keep everything unscrewed in the power supply area and start undoing the motherboard, I found that when I had both the motherboard and PSU unscrewed, the PSU easily came out on its own lol. Tip 2: Organize all the screws neatly somewhere you will not lose them! Tip 3: Take your time!, anyone can do this, even you that is reading this. It is tedious and will take time but will be worth it. Tip 4: Make sure to take photos to remember where what is connected!, this will help you out a ton!! Finally when I took apart the PS4 Pro to clean it and service the thermal Paste, it was surprisingly clean and I was shocked lol. I definitely recommend replacing the thermal paste as maintenance, BTW for anyone wondering, I used Noctua thermal paste!, good stuff!!

one thing that would work wonders in testing before and after with the ps4 pro is a laser tachometer. sure it would require testing with the top cover removed, but it would offer a lot more insight into what's going on. beyond that, fantastic video! I think you've won yourself a subscriber :D

[@Highlander1518]

Good video. I know some other KZbinrs have pointed this out but just before 5:00 make sure you've taken out all of the T8 screws on the metal bracket on the other side of the PS4 before removing the PSU....I slightly cracked the plastic cover that shields the PSU until I realised there were two T8 screws which needed to be removed! Also, I found the PSU connector cable virtually impossible to remove, so I left it connected. It's a bit of a pain in the arse when leaving the PSU connected but it is doable One thing I discovered was after applying the thermal paste (pea sized) the PS4 fans were louder than ever. This is the first time I've ever had this issue when applying thermal paste (I've applied it to many CPUs) - so I took the PS4 apart, applied more paste and spread it over the APU. The PS4 is now as quiet as a mouse.

[@TechSavvyBuyer]

Thanks for pointing that out. Can't believe I left that out lol. This was one of my earlier tutorials and I missed some key things. Lesson learned. Thank you so much for taking time from your day to write this comment. You are amazing and I appreciate it very much. I hope your system stays cool! God bless ya

I couldn't get the PSU cable out either, I came close to damaging the little wires so I had to give up. It was very awkward to add the paste because it was in the way but it worked in the end.

[@TechSavvyBuyer]

Did you make sure you removed the screw on the other side of the PSU? It should pop right out. If something feels stuck always check that all the screws are out.

To anyone who is scared or on the fence to do this: I’m super clumsy and not very handy and I was able to do it and it makes the biggest difference. My launch model Pro is super quiet now.

my ps4 pro was running even louder when I did this so I open it up and apply slightly put more paste and I notice something. the original thermal pads were not on the Vram chipset they were attached to the clamps that push down on them so I removed them and placed them back on the ram chipset, I don't know which one did the trick but WOW is running really quietly now.

[@chicozeb]

Hi. Please check the video at 7:00. That are not memory modules. In fact, those are chokes. They do not require cooling on the ps4 pro. It's the vrm's that need it(the little black chips a few milimeters above. So you have put the thermal pads on the wrong place. It may fry your ps4 pro. The thermal paste usually is to put on top of the apu and not the heatsink. But the way you did it works also.

[@TechSavvyBuyer]

Thanks for correcting that. I'll be sure to fix it

[@pspasta5399]

Thanks for mentioning this because I was just about to do this. When you say it's the little black chips (x6), do you mean the ones lined up right against them that require the cooling pads? Or the 6 other ones which are grouped 2 and 4?

Thanks Adam! You are right about the fans. The Delta model is the one that is really noisy, the Nidec one is better quality and doesnt make as much noise at high speeds.

Ive had the star wars pro for 9 months with little to no sound, barely started to hum a little. Gonna clean soon

[@HairlessApesGaming]

Okay guys bear with me through this comment as I am excited haha. So I have had a pro now for a few years and it has always sounded like a space X rocket, I have tried thermal pads, fan maintenance, too quality thermal paste and nothing worked. I have taken apart my pro 16 times to analyze how I could resolve the over heating and loud fan. Step 1: Okay if you look on the back of your pro right above the connector ports there is a detachable center piece with vents and that section is where the hot air is flowing through the power supply and out. I removed this. Step 2: if you take of the top shell of your pro and look in the back you will wee more Vent, Now after much testing I realised that with these vents my pro is forcing hot air up into those vents and back into the pro so I put masking tape across the top of these vents and put the shell back on. Results: I played Assassins creed odyssey for 5 hours straight, Then death stranding, then ghost recon breakpoint and Each time the console Never over heated AND the fan never kicked into overdrive. Honestly it never even got loud enough to hear.

[@christophersorensen9580]

Mistah Opinionatah Hey, I’m looking at my pro right now, so you’re saying you literally just taped up that back vent above the ports entirely? I’ve been wanting to fix the fan problem for a while but didn’t want to mess with any thermal paste and stuff really. Tried cleaning the fan, but it doesn’t help a bit.

[@HairlessApesGaming]

@@christophersorensen9580 so when you are looking at the back of your pro you see the center piece between the top and bottom? I took that centerpiece completely off the back. Its just a strip of plastic with fan vent slots in it right above your plugin ports, just pull that thing right off by the corners. -You have to pry hard enough to break the little plastic holders on that strip but you wont even notice its gone. Now the tapping part. If you pull off the top cover of your pro and just look at the top back section you will see more vent slots. Those are the vents you will tape over.

What size thermal pads did you use? If you use too thick or too thin thermal pads, the memory won't activate as they respond to too much or too little pressure. If all else, check that every single cable is connected, including that the PSU cable is pressed all the way in.

As I hit the like button and subbed my PS4 flew out my window and disappeared into the starry night.

[@pikiewest5613]

Dude thanks you made me laugh!!! Had a ps4 slim for years never even heard it....got a PS4 pro a few days ago, never knew they could fly away hahahaha

[@angvet_2537]

I have 2 questions: Do i need to change the termal peds and what happens when you put to much of termal paste?

[@andreasostlund4081]

If you put too much thermal paste on a PC you shouldn't have too many issues as the pressure of the cooler will displace excess paste onto the motherboard. I don't believe it's very different with a console so you don't have much to worry about. As for the thermal pads, I would recommend you change them, although I don't have any experience working with thermal pads. hope this helps.

[@josheyjenkins9164]

I had a question, can I still last my ps4 for awhile without replacing the thermal padding?

[@danielontek3592]

today i changed thermal paste Grizzly Kryonaut and Grizzly minus pad 8 and the result is perfect,

[@ajmart0034]

Daniel Ontek did yours ever overheat and just shut off after 1 or 2 games ?

[@danielontek3592]

@@ajmart0034 no, never, but the fan was working after 10 min. playing on max rpm

[@ajmart0034]

Daniel Ontek didn’t work when I applied the paste I’m just gonna have to buy a new one and sell my pro to GameStop

[@grossmeisterb123]

which size do you need for the phillips head screwdriver?

[@SolVibesTV]

It’s absolutely quiet thank you

[@mateuszceeport6006]

Hey did u take off foil from pads on bouth sides?

[@dangerkinglit]

Is it ok if i replace the paste only and not the pads? the price for the tools for electronics here are astronomical.

[@nbk2134]

Dude everything was great and detailed but why use Fahrenheit? Like why?

[@evigklytteren]

I'm going to repaste mine next week. Looking at other guides and comments on reddit it seems you should not forgo putting pads on the hdmi controller and the southbridge chip. These chips also have a hand in controlling the fan speed, and cooling them will make the fans peed even lower (or so I hope)

[@pacijentt4367]

What thickness of thermall pads did you use

[@DDDeath93]

I got stuck on removing the battery. How did you unplug the wire by hand. I couldnt get it off, felt like I would brake it.

[@patricktufvesson7568]

Ive buyed the grizzly pads and paste but it was conductonaut but then its saids dont use on alu. Is it safe to use in my ps4 pro and reguler ps4

[@schizios469]

I tried this out today with a 1$ thermal paste (made in China) that I found in a local electric store. I didn't even have the thermal pads so I still use the old ones found inside my PS4 Pro (but I did clean the dust off the pads). It took me a while to complete the whole thing because I kept forgetting things like putting the cables back on, wrong screws placement, etc. I even cut a straw in half to clean balls of dust out from my heat sink's grills. My whole system was filled with dust before now it's all clean. So the result is, the jet engine is gone and my PS4 is a lot quieter (tested out with COD: War Zone). The thing is that though, there is one screw left after I'd assembled the whole thing and can't be bothered figuring out where I had missed it :p

[@TechSavvyBuyer]

Lol if it still works then don't worry about it haha

[@franic1608]

This heatsink brackets, do i need to screw them a lot or little bit

[@Mars-iq7kk]

For the bracket house cover, my screws won't go back on, suggestions?

[@1ballashotcalla1]

Would a 1g of the paste be enough for the PS4 pro? I'm asking as I'm in Australia and it's very hard to find this stuff What other brands would you recommend?

[@izhanshafiq324]

1g should be enough for 3-6 or more applications. I've had the same one and I used it to change thermal paste on a couple of Laptop's, my PS4 and two more PS4's. thermal grizzly kryonaut is the best one in the market. I've seen many benchmarks. The other one that had like 1C° more temperature than kryonaut. Noctua NT-H1. It's pretty good too. There's an NT-H2 as well, idk how it performs. In my experience, these two are the best thermal pastes in the market but I'd prefer kryonaut over any other paste.

[@erocb8261]

My PS4Pro sounded like a F14 getting ready to take off from a flight deck. Would overheat playing ceartin games. Now it doesn't make a sound. Workes great.

[@Joel-cu7tn]

Hey guys I'm trying to quiet down my pro and I want to know if this is the only way to quiet it down or are there other ways too? I'm trying to make it so that I cant hear it from the other side of my house

[@oceansyde5746]

Commented on a prior video on fan cleaning. I pointed out that overworld maps from GOW and now Spider-Man get very loud. Does this help?

[@TechSavvyBuyer]

+OceanSyde it does with the temp but the fan still gets a bit loud on those moments. It stays quiet while playing the actual game though.

[@frozenfireball2341]

I'm sorry did u take off the old thermal pads or did u just put the new ones on top of them? Hope to get an answer soon! Great vid💪

[@squidusel6501]

At 5:40 he takes some off but i'm not too sure if this applies to every other component but than again i think this is a "1 at a time" 2 could be counterproductive because it would cause some heat but im not too sure, just my theory im new to this genre

[@robertp6705]

Its a massive different.My ps4 pro switch off due to over heat.I try extra cooling fan but it didnt work. New paste and a pads fix that problem.And its so quiet. Thank you.

[@puntybrah]

great video. I read online that there are many method of applying the thermal paste and you are using the blob method? which method is best?

[@TechSavvyBuyer]

Either works just fine. You can do the cross method as well, just dont use too much of it! :)

[@shalashaskaa8]

Pea size dot in the middle you'll never go wrong

[@pjames116]

I have the same paste over after changing my cpu cooler in the pc so thought i may as well change the paste in the old ps4 too. Got the pads...now age old questiln, was a "pea" size ammount of paste in the center of the dye enough? I keep reading the copper plate on the ps4 pro isnt entirely flat, not sure what difference this makes.....also ordered some rubber feet to install under the ps4 to dampen out the disc drive vibration and see if a gap underneath the console also helps a little with air getting round it.

[@TechSavvyBuyer]

Use a spreader to make sure you get full coverage. I am gonna remake a new version of this video

[@Jacob-hl3gt]

Will it make a difference if I put a thermal pad on the Scei chip and Hdmi chip?

[@ysys9442]

I just need asap help i replaced my thermal place cause because the other day i found my smelling like it burnt. But i think it has work its quiet but there isrnreally coming heat put the back so ?
