My PS4 pro sounds like a jet taking off.

[@Tronicsfix]

What model is it?

[@KarcusKorpse]

Mine started to "take off" in the same direction. It started working harder since Black OPS 4 came out. I noticed that my entertainment center was trapping the hot air. Besides clearing the dust buildup in the vents, I made a cutout in the entertainment center for the air to flow out in the back and now the Pro stays quite. I probably have the 7115 model.

I took apart my launch model Pro, applied better thermal paste, vacuumed dust that had accumulated on one side of the heatsink (not visible unless you take it apart), and it's now whisper quiet with even the most demanding of games.

[@Sampsonay]

According to digital foundry this model runs quieter at the cost of higher temps. Id prefer a louder console with a better lifespan imo.

[@Tronicsfix]

Really? I'll have to check that out.

[@mimimimeow]

not necessarily. temps have to be measured at the CPU itself, not body or exhaust. Higher body/exhaust air temp simply means the heatsink and fan remove heat off the CPU die more efficiently

[@MrAzazel666]

@@mimimimeow is right. If the console has more efficient cooling, you'd expect the top and the back to be hotter. Heat has to go somewhere. More heat being drawn by the heat sink means less heat on the die. And lower fan speeds since the fan doesn't have to work as hard.

[@CaffeinatedTech]

Yeah, they changed the fan profile. They could have done that in software on the previous model. But that doesn't sell new consoles... Oh and more efficient cooling makes the heatsink hotter? More efficient thermal transfer from the APU to the heatsink would make it hotter, but so does less heat dissipation by running the fan slower make the heatsink hotter.

[@2drealms196]

@@CaffeinatedTech CaffeinatedTech console manufacturer's generally don't make much money on hardware if any, and sometimes take losses which they recoup on software and services. I doubt Sony's objective was to get people to rebuy new hardware, since the entire business model is termed "loss leader" and their margins come from services, software, and peripherals.

[@dawnadair5912]

There are 2 missing resistors in the upper left corner on the processor side of the motherboard on the 7200. I would assume that you are correct in that they found a way to make it significantly more efficient so it does not need to pump so much energy through the board that they decided they no longer needed to gate that power.

[@racerboyo]

I got my brother the CUH-7200 and it came with a Delta fan... He doesn’t care however because he has a noise cancelling headset but I would just like to inform every one that even the 7200 Pros can come with Delta fans.

[@canadaspy007]

I just opened my pro ( loud model ) up today and cleaned it and added arctic MX-4 2019 edition thermal paste and arctic high performance thermal pads to replace the stock vrm and memory chip pads. Did well until I decided to try to replace my CMOS battery because why not.....ended up breaking it some hot glue and prayers it was a success. Luckily my PSU connector comes out easy atleast. In conclusion it was a success PlayStation no longer gets above 50 degrees Celsius and no longer sounds like a jet engine even while in cod menu.

[@dennisseuferling815]

I would do a heat test. I think they may have found an abundance of thermal head room so they revised the BIOS to slow the fan down.

[@nekron75]

There’s a very simple reason. The fan just spins slower. This reduces noise (a lot) but causes the apu&heatsink to run hotter which is why the exhaust air is also noticeably hotter.

It's the cutout holes, the new 72 series have less holes but more direct to where it's needed, as for 71 series has more holes so it loses the more direct effect. Works similar to a jet pump, if u was to have a jet pump with a big opening and one with smaller opening, the smaller opening would be more efficient, but it all depends on the power being fed too. Also more holes would cause a louder fan sound, as for less holes would be a bigger hiss sucking sound.

[@PowerPie5000]

I have the white 7100 revision and it's very quiet. It does kick out some heat and occasionally gets a bit of faint coil whine with pro optimised games (pretty common and nothing to worry about)... But still very quiet compared to the launch Pro and earlier PS4 models. The biggest change for the 7200 revision is the power connector. The 2-pin kettle style connector on the 7000/7100 is not very secure and feels a bit wobbly/loose. The figure of 8 connector on the 7200 is a tighter fit and much more secure.

[@finalman321]

The pictured PS4 Pro motherboard tray for comparison at 4:14 labelled as a 7115 is infact the motherboard tray from a 7015 PS4 Pro model. The PS4 Pro 7215 model motherboard tray is actually identical to the ones that come with PS4 Pro 7115 models.

[@davidgriffin79]

A slightly thicker heatsink on the older model gives the sink more thermal mass, but its surface area that's important to losing heat energy by forced (or non-forced) convection. So, both models have the same heatsink. I suspect the CPU/GPU are more efficient on the later model.

[@EviLeonhart]

Based on Digital Foundry's measurements, the 7200 model draws the same amount of power as the 7100, within a few watts. 7200 exhaust is a bit hotter. My guess is that either the 7200 somehow is more efficient at getting heat removed from the heatsink, or maybe it's quieter because they found a reliable way to let it run 4-5 degrees hotter under load.

Is it me or is the heat sink plate a different colour and thickness? (See 5:22). Could be different materials between the two? If the newer plate is thicker (difficult to make out by the overhead camera angle) possibly a newer core technology has also been implemented to the heatsink plate to transfer heat away from the processor quicker? (e.g. 'vapor' chambers). Sony may also have tweaked the power configuration similar to Xbox One X's Hovis method.

The metal plate around the copper contact pad isn't really doing much in the way of sinking heat. It is just there to hold the heat pipes against the real heatsink (the part with the fins). I do see one big difference on the new board: They have redesigned the power delivery with new components. I'm not knowledgeable enough to know more than that, but it is a definite change. I also think you should compare the fans and the fan shroud as a better designed airflow could greatly enhance the performance of the cooler at the same sound level. I would also be interested if it is the same OEM who has manufactured the fan on the new and the old one.

[@sean70729]

I think they just slowed down the tiny loud fan.

[@mikejenkins4924]

Actually the newer heatsink design means it goes on tighter once screwed, which means much better heat dissipation. You can achieve a similar result if you bend the clamp on the older pro, although obviously won't be as effective.

[@Daz5Daz]

To be honest when I first stripped down my launch PS4 Pro it looked like the whole problem with them and noise was simply down to bad factory assembly.

I have a 7215 model of ps4 pro with a jb. I used orbis tool box to measure the temperature of cpu and soc. As per my understanding, this model of playstation runs at 83 degree for most of the time while playing games. Once it crosses 83 degree, the fan starts blowing faster. And i guess the older Ps4 pro had the temperature limit of 79 degree instead of 83 when playing games. So the fan would run faster most of the time to maintain the temperature of 79 degree or below. And because of that, it made more noise. This is the only difference. The temperature limit. Rest they both work the same way.

@@Maikeru_Dabittsu ^he's right you know.

Rhtr Hotter heatsink means more efficient heatsink.

[@MrDemokids]

So we can swap heat sinks? With the newer model?will that lower the temp?

[@Kritchley]

I bought a PS4 pro to replace my original fat PS4 my PS4 pro whilst playing god of war the fan would kick in and sound like a hair dryer I replaced the thermal paste with liquid metal and now it runs quit.

Bored Gamer after paying £350, You shouldn’t need to mess with it and void the warranty. Annoys me.

[@Kritchley]

@@yosh5835 well when your PS4 overheats and breaks down costing you more money to pay into Sony's warranty system you'll regret spending £8 on some thermal paste which actually helps your PS4 work properly it's people like you who are to scared to void warrantys that annoys me

[@yosh5835]

Bored Gamer so you think it’s ok for Sony to sell you a half finished product?

[@Kritchley]

@@yosh5835 not half finished I'm just improving it as I build PC's for a living and I know new thermal paste will extend the life of my apu processor so why not do it and save money in the long run

[@yosh5835]

Bored Gamer had a Launch PRO, day one, not broke yet, Sony gets away with it because people go out and “improve” the console themselves, it’s like buying a car then the manufacturer recommends to change the brake lines because they corrode. Not right is it. I know what you’re saying, and do whatever, it just annoys me how Sony get away with it. Then expect the consumer to “improve” it themselves.

Thank you! I was wandering the same thing.

[@Tronicsfix]

My pleasure.

[@mrmrjims3865]

The new model motherboard color is Slightlly lighter green color than old model which make it way more efficient

[@mauv7]

How?

[@savagegiraffe1]

I always find that the color of something makes it more efficient.

[@sirdan357]

I just bought this model too. It's quiet apart from the crappy rattling delta fan.

[@Shadow-us4oq]

They changed the thermal paste and called it a day

[@mkb144p6]

That's not funny but dumb

[@ssjMaximum22Goku]

Digital Foundry did a comparison on both of these PS4 Pro models, and they found that the 7200 models ran quieter but hotter and the previous models rather slightly louder but were cooler.

[@inkredebilchina9699]

gotta tell you my good man, I don't understand what people want anymore? a 4k UHD gaming ready machine for less than 400€ sounds like gold standard of a bargain to me. it does come with a bit of noise included, BUT you payed less than a mid-ranged graphics card for PC costs and you are complaining? come on.

[@hahazim34]

Ok but howcome the xbox sounds so quiet. Go search it on youtube there's literally almost no blowing sound LOL. But then you point out that the cost is to little for the ps4 seens like you're not comparing it to similar prices

[@inkredebilchina9699]

@@hahazim34 good point. but you're forgetting that MS is behind xbox and they did their console somewhat differently than PS4 or PS4 pro. took a lot of time to even get in the console business, so when Sony was at PS3 they made their first console ever.

[@whogivesadam9509]

Can you fix my ps4 pro plz it turns on for less than a second i bought a power supply for it replacing the old one and still did the same thing

[@HeyCMDR1991YT]

It's honestly disappointing Sony didn't even bother upgrading the cooling system with a liquid cooling system if there's one thing Microsoft does better is they have a much better cooling design It's truly fascinating on my Xbox One X I have tried the most graphical demanding games like Resident Evil 3 remake or Red Dead redemption 2 I do not hear a thing It's scary quiet and I know why it's super quiet to the point you don't even hear the fan It's because they are using liquid cooling the PS4 Pro should have used liquid cooling it would literally prevent the fan spinning so fast to the point it sounds like a dam jet going at Mach 3 And I find it strange Sony did extremely well with PS3 super slim it was the most quietest PlayStation console ever made but why the PS4 models are so damn loud? I found out the real problem is Sony decided to use a cheap ass thermal paste on the APU But much to my shockness I decided to dismantle my PS4 Pro destiny 2 model then I noticed the thermal paste was dry as hell So I scraped it off I bought the best thermal paste I could find I carefully applied it to the APU chip with a q-tip reassembled everything back then I decided to play bullet storm full clip edition again I could not believe that made the biggest difference I don't even hear the fan going haywire anymore 😲 I guess this whole time the fan was only spinning so fast because the thermal paste wasn't doing its job keeping the APU chip as cool as possible But hopefully the one I applied should last several years 😉👍

[@captainaves]

Commander's Gaming Channel does x1x have liquid cooling?

[@HeyCMDR1991YT]

@@captainaves Actually yes the Xbox One X is the first gaming console to have a liquid cooling system That's why it's so damn whisper quiet even I put my ears next to it I do not hear the fan at all no matter how GPU demanding the game is it still takes it like a champ 😍👍

[@andreasvu9540]

Those holes look like they have been moved around for different acoustic airflow. Same thing that we do in ITX builds in the PC world.
