PS4 Pro Fan Noise Fix - Detailed Cleaning Tutorial

The PS4 Pro is notorious for getting extremely loud during stress. The fan sounds like its a plane taking off! In this video, I show you how to reduce that sound by ensuring that the fan is completely cleaned thoroughly and properly. This helps by reducing the amount of rpm it needs to be at to get the same kind of circulation over the heatsink.

One issue I have found in your video, you didn't completely reassemble the PRO as you claimed, the front corner under the Sony logo was not clipped down properly, just a minor thing but I think worth pointing out for future vids.

[@redeyes1775]

a bit late but heres a lil tip for you too cautious people out there. Follow steps until cleaning the fan. Set the ps4 upside down(fan facing the ground) on something thats higher or equal to your height(mines on my cupboard with counter weight) with the fan showing or not covered. Clean walls of the actual fan part with ear buds(i wet mine with my own saliva, broke style) Get toothpicks and a bit of toilet paper and i mean a bit, literally fingernail size, double that up and wrap it around the toothpick, wet your finger with saliva and "glue" the toilet paper closed and you can pick between the very close parts that the ear bud cant reach. (Reason for ps4 being upside down is when you accidentally flick dust, it falls to the ground instead of back into ps4. peeps probably wont read this but it helped me. Cheers

[@redeyes1775]

yeah nah i just play with the cover off, with a game case sitting on top of the fan, tale it off once the fan starts pumping weights, then itll chill out for abit

FOR ANYBODY WHO WAS IN MY EXACT SAME POSITION, take the top cover of the ps4 off and check with a light in the side of the fan closest to the shiny metal plate. Clean the dust out from there and the ps4 will run silently. No need to replace the thermal paste and take your whole console apart.

[@inkfox4086]

Just wanted to thank you for the tutorial. This made a huge difference in my PS4 Pro noise level.

[@DannyWilliamH]

Cleaning it can help. Changing the thermal paste can help just as much (often more). Yet, some Pros have a fan that's naturally loud. It's either Nydek or another brand and they were mostly used in the early Pros. In the case of those you literally have to replace it to get rid of the insanely loud noise, if you have it. You simply buy the other fan model on Ebay and replace yours (both are identical in shape but not quality, obviously). Better yet and for the adventurous, you can mod the console with another slow moving fan that cools the APU and 8gb memory modules for very silent use. It can be done for about $50 and a bit of work. *Even crazier* is the passive cooling option. I've seen it done on a base PS4 but not Pro. Anyway, it's changing the case completely to a custom case that's more or less a giant heat sink. A guy in Denmark (iirc) makes beautiful passive cases for his consoles and made one for his PS4. Totally silent. I want one.

[@madalinradion]

Best cheap cleaning tool I use is a dollar store makeup brush. Great for vents & easy to clean afterwards.

LEGEND! This worked for me! I'm so relieved, I mean I can still hear the fan at high load, but it's nowhere near jet engine loud like it was before UPDATE: 4 days later, back to jet engine. I think it's luck of the draw, there are good builds and bad builds, because it's definitely not a dust build up issue. My PS4 Pro originally didn't even have half as much dust as the video. Plus I did a complete dissemble and clean too. This made me clean my PS4 Pro, which i should be doing so at least I can be thankful for that

[@maurotarozzo4787]

I have never actually done this on a ps4 pro, since mine is quite silent even after one year and a half of service, but on my old xbox 360 I had a noise and overheating problem. I opened it and cleaned the dust and it actually fixed the overheating but the fan was always at the maximum speed. At the end I opened it again and replaced the thermal paste that was completely dry and now... well it's still a jet engine like every xbox 360 before slim models but the noise is reduced to bearable levels. Long story short your problem might be the thermal paste and not the dust, if you're confident in disassembling your ps4 completely it might be worth to replace it.

You should also take out the power supply and clean between the fins of the heatsink. In a dusty environment they can get very clogged and just cleaning the fan blades won't do much to help.

[@brettberry9846]

Unfortunately they are loud out of the box. Cleaning the fan won't fix it. People have different sensitivity to noise. My Pros drove me batshit crazy but I live in FL ambient room temp is higher and I play in a quiet room. That's why some say theirs is silent and others jet engine. I've had 3 different OG ps4 and two Pros. The fan screamed on them all

[@mathewhastings9485]

Cleaning your fan is just a preference to me, depending on the load is how loud that fan will be, I can play Mafia three and MLB 18 in 4k and it doesn't scream, it will for just a bit when you start up God of War or Detroit, but then it calms down. People have to realize that it's a computer and the bigger the CPU load on a PC and the faster the fan spins, it's just how it is.

[@brettberry9846]

@@mathewhastings9485 I get that. Nothing wrong with keeping it clean I just think the fan design is poor. Not that I'm a fanboy for xbox but on top of my pro I have a One X and previously had a OG one and they are dead silent under load on anything. They both run 120mm fans so more air less rotation. I think but am not 100% that the ps4 and pro fans are 80 mm which spin faster (louder) when needing to move more air. Some AMD gpus use the same design a vortex fan if you will and those cards are loud too. I know it's not all the time and it ramps up in certain situations but it's bothersome for me. That's just me though.

That is what anti static wrist cords with grounding cord are for. Sorry you don’t agree but most electronic repair centers will ground the unit and proceed to vacuum and or use compressed air to dislodge dust and particles before disassembly. Looks like I got you blood boiling🤯

Same her, when i was playing god of war it felt it was going to explode haha

[@ernjdasdd]

If your device is in a room with poor ventilation or is just in a hot area, expect the fan to be loud. Its to try to push more air to cool it off faster.

[@TechSavvyBuyer]

Yep very true. Keep it in a well ventilated area.

[@JimBobJoeB0b]

bigevilworldwide1 yeah, and vertical cooling stands do NOT help. Trust me, do your research people.

@bigevilworldwide1 I cleaned the heat sync very well with alchohol on the worst spots also ,it is still overheating and I can berely start a game for 10 seconds without it being loud and hot.

Did u apply new thermal paste adequately?

[@tobias4411]

The newer PS4 Pro model CUH-7216B is MUCH quiter. The have FIXED the fan sound, from 50 decibel to 44 :-). Glad I bought that.

[@xi-deadshot-ix5838]

This is great but if you're like me and neglected your console for 4+ years and didn't clean it, the dust will be absolutely caked on the fan and some other components. I disassembled my power supply and blew then wiped out all the stuff outta there. I used an air compressor set at 30-40psi, HELD the fan to keep it from spinning, and blew everything I could out from both directions prior to wiping to get all the loose stuff off. Doing this makes the cleaning process much easier and removing the power supply makes it really easy to do without damaging anything. I'm kicking myself for not filming it and posting the video lol. Certain games started causing my console to get heat errors and actually shut the console down by itself on occasion. CLEAN YOUR CONSOLES people. It's so easy and can add a lot of longevity them.

Eeeeh, your test after cleaning the console was lying flat. Standing it on its side is always going to make it run hotter because your restricting air flow.

[@MegazorgOne]

Exactly.

[@Bestwick1983]

Especially when its on the side where the fan is drawing air in from

[@ShinryuZensen]

Having a dust cover can help reducing the dust intake at least while it's sitting turned off. PrinterBoy's ones are kinda pricey , but well worth the cost.

[@SlavicUnionGaming]

There are foam inserts you can plop onto the ps4 intakes that help keep dust out of ps4 while its running, but the ps4 just chokes its self to death

[@ShinryuZensen]

@@SlavicUnionGaming my PS4 pro is spotless and I have to dust it off very rarely. It's always very quiet. So I guess a simple cloth can be more efficient than some tech goodness.

Took mine apart 20min ago. It was so bad you couldn't see the blade shape of the fan 🤣 the inside was dusty af. I run COD it's so quiet i have to lean towards it to hear my ps4 compared to sounding like it was ready for take off. Feels proud bruh

[@darkgardian09]

Extremely helpful and am thankfull you kept it simple

[@ProtoNecron]

I just wanted to say Thank you, my poor fingers went through hell getting that damn cover off but it worked. I was able to clean it per your instructions, and let me tell you it was a nightmare of dust in there. Seriously man, great video and thank you again.

[@kolemartini755]

Mine still makes noises:/

[@LeoneWorlds]

Did you ever have to clean it again after that?

[@manofmanyvideos]

I just got done popping the top off of mine for the second time (first time was a few years ago) and giving it a clean about as best as I could with the same tools you used here, plus some rubbing alcohol. I intend to stream in a bit and I'll see if Skyrim makes it as loud as I'm used to. Fan is like 90% more dust-free now so hopefully the difference will be noticeable, and if not, I might give a go to opening it up more fully in the future.

[@SalvaDoppel]

It’s annoying cos on games like mk11 or warzone in the character selection menu or lobby it still becomes loud but just not like it used to. So this made a minor improvement. How did you manage to clean all that dust inbetween the gaps of the fan completely?

[@leomedina5614]

EPIC BANTER use a q-tip. I have used a air dry can and blow small portions and then clean it with the q-tip. I’ve heard other clean them with their hair dryers but who knows. You can try it and see

[@LordOfElm]

Thank you for the comprehensive tutorial. I was about to grab my air compressor that I use to clean out computer systems before I saw the q-tip recommendation. I just spun up Ni No Kuni 2 and the fan was louder than the title screen from my couch. After cleaning my fan it's whisper silent now. I was a bit surprised since I did not consider the amount of dust in my fan to be as bad as it actually was. I guess it does not take all that much to make a difference.

[@TechSavvyBuyer]

Next step - change the thermal paste on the APU - its actually really easy to do and i have a video tutorial on it.

[@bat1138]

Still makes the same noise even when the system is new.

[@augenlutschen]

I bought an xbox x because of this noise.. only play spiderman and god of war on my ps4 pro when its out.

[@SyedHarisJeelani]

No need to do this if the game is heated the fan is for cooling down therefore it make noise little bit , so you should trun the volume high if you want tha adventure

[@Zarok_]

@@SyedHarisJeelani No they should put a Good cooling System in it. Microsoft was able to do that and Sony should have been able to do that.

It depends on what resolution game is running. It sounds superloud on BF1 in 4K, however whem you change settings in 1080p on same game its almost silent
