PS4 Pro sound like a jet engine? Check out this video and see how you can clean your system and enjoy the silence! The one that's opened in this video is the CUH-7115B model, so if you have a different model number, there will be some differences inside, but the idea is mostly the same.
**QUICK NOTE!**
Be extremely careful with the power supply connection to the system board. Make sure to pull the wire and not the socket connector on the board. There is a chance you can rip the socket connector off of the board and render your PS4 Pro useless until fixed by someone with experience in soldering.

@GH-uk6lp 2 года назад

Cleaning the heatsink (the intake of which was about 1/4 blocked by dust) and fan and applying fresh thermal paste really made a difference. It solved the fan noise and our PS4 Pro now runs quietly. In our case I suspect cleaning the heatsink made most of the difference. The instructions were very good. Thank you for posting Matt.

@TheMrWPAT 2 года назад

I cannot thank you enough for this video. I've seen a few others that are maybe 5-10 minutes long. This was so thoughtful and concise. I am not mechanically inclined was still able to complete this work in >1 hour. That includes the fact that I had a model with several differences. I went from jet engine PS4 pro to silent. It's amazing. Side note - It's probably not worth buying that 70$ tool set. Just get the 3 tools you use. I didn't use anything else from it, and just used a mini flat head and tweezers of my own.

This absolutely saved my butt and made an ENORMOUS difference! Even for a beginner like me, I didn't even have a spare screw leftover hahaha For me one main issue was the thermal paste splooshed out the sides and onto the circuit board. Leaving little to none where it needed to be. After scooping up the splooshed paste and putting it where it should be, it made a huge difference. Thanks for the great video and help!

Now I'm sure it will be a waste of money: Ordered two heatsinks for RAM, they came 2-3 months after the order was placed and as the "thermal adhesion compound" there was just a two sided see-through tape. I wonder how's that supposed to work as a thermal pad. Well, luckily I was ordering those heatsinks just for the purpose of trying out and aesthetics, and not because I actually needed heatsinks for my RAM, but nevertheless.

The warranty sticker wasn't on there very well at all, and the wear on the screws were very telling. I asked the person I cleaned it for if he opened it and he did to clean the fan and did remove some screws inside. He didn't make it to the CPU. I found out after recording and was going based off of an assumption during recording, which wound up being correct.

Any advice on what could be going wrong and how I can get the supply out more easily? I do not want to destroy my system trying to get the power supply out. Thanks for the great video!

@linklooklisten Год назад

Get a good grip on the connector of the power supply cable, make sure you're not grabbing the base socket that the wire plugs in to. Some things needle nose pliers should help. Worst case, try grabbing the wire close to the connector by hand and use a little bit, tiny tiny bit of force to disconnect the wire.

@mizifih Год назад

Dude, thank you for this video, I have the same model and mine is laud since I 1st used it, so I highly suspect it's bad application of the thermal paste, like the one on your video, that was awfully misapplied. Even though I suspected, as you, someone opened it before you, because that heatsink copper plate had some strange scratches, I still think that's probably the case, misapplied thermal paste. Or is it normal to have all that scratch on the copper side of the heatsink? It didn't look like scratches to make more surface, LOL, looked like someone roughly cleaned it, with something pointy actually, like trying to remove dry, kinda glued thermal paste.

@linklooklisten Год назад

Yea sounds like something abrasive may have been used while cleaning it. Something like that could be bad because it makes the surface ever so slightly uneven, but it will only be a problem if your system continues to be loud. Make sure the screws for the heatsink are tightened evenly and you should be ok.

I bought the grizzly kryonaut paste because i thought that this was the cause of the loud, but there wasnt ( i Just placed the console on a Airy place and the noise goes off). So, do you recommend me to open the 1 year console even so? How long should i first open, clean and change the thermal paste? Thank you sorry my bad english

@linklooklisten 2 года назад

It really depends on how often it's used and other variables like if it's in an enclosed tv stand and if you have pets. Moving it to an open area like you said you did is a good move, if you have pets there might be a lot of dust and hair in there which will clog up the vents and heat sink. If it's loud at all, I would suggest opening it to at least clear out whatever dust and hair has accumulated. If it's still loud after that, apply fresh thermal paste.

If you put some type of oil on the fan dust will not adhere to it like a light coating of WD-40 something like that keeps the fan from being a magnet for dust I would pay a lot of attention to the fan clean it get off the foundation that dust has been collecting on make it smooth and clean as possible.

@BrutalDeath007 Год назад

My PS4 pro (model 7115B) was loud right out of the box. I took it apart and seen the heat sink was filthy with dust and basically suffocating the console. After clearing out the dust it was noticeably better and I could feel the hot air rushing out the back of the console and the jet engine fan was a LITTLE less obnoxious. 6 years later I find out about thermal pads and paste being the main issue and I am not pleased about having to repair something that's basically been broken before I even got it out of the box... but at least now I know why all this is going on and can actually do something about it when I can afford to.

@linklooklisten Год назад

Definitely frustrating for sure. I've been there a few times and kind of see it as an additional part of the experience when getting a console, new or used. It's not for everyone, but I absolutely love opening stuff up, learning about it in terms of what makes it work and how to fix it. Playing games on the console is one hobby, and fixing/repairing is a whole other hobby!

@wavyreward Год назад

I did both slim and pro latest models but they still sound loud. A couple games that weren't before make the fan spin hard now. The pro was the only one that had that issue now both have it when I thought I fixed them 😅 Applied themal paste, cleaned heat sink , new thermal pads( they were having trouble sticking to metal) and cleaned the fan literally took both apart slim first then pro. Do you think there is anything else that can be done? Fan spinning way too fast still during some games same with the slim never had issues with slim before disassembly it just needed a clean.

Hey, so I've used many of your videos. But on this one. I've followed it step by step and I can't get the bottom to release. Any recommendations or suggestions?

At what point exactly?

@Mikeymikesyeah 3 года назад

When cleaning where the thermal paste should be with the alcohol dipped qtips, should you dry the area with something to take off whatever wetness is left from the alcohol?

@linklooklisten 3 года назад

Let the alcohol air dry before putting thermal paste on, or you can use a dry qtip. Just make sure there's none of the qtip fuzzies on the chip before applying paste.

One more thing, is there a proper or easier way to remove the 4 pin power connector? I couldn't take it off and was worries I'd rip off one of the connectors or just pull the whole part off wrong.

@linklooklisten 3 года назад

Could also be done with the ps4 lying flat, still have to take it slow and hold the connector carefully when pulling it out.

sorry for the bad english, but nice video! helped a lot on my PS4 Pro. I read in some places that the noise comes back after a few months. It is true? I used Kryonaut thermal paste and Gelid Extreme thermal pads. Thanks again! My PS4 looked like a jet plane.

It's very possible it could come back, but cleaning it regularly, at least blowing out the dust inside should help a lot.

do you know if we can buy one of those ribbon cables? I damaged one trying to put it back in and it went under the slot and bent the pins.

@linklooklisten 3 года назад

If you know what the ribbon connects to specifically, you should be able to find a replacement ribbon on ebay or aliexpress.

@JayzBeerz 3 года назад

@@linklooklisten it goes to the front of the blu ray drive.

@linklooklisten 3 года назад

As long as the ribbon can be detached from both ends, you can count how many lines it has. When you look for a replacement ribbon, make sure it's the same amount.

My PS4 is this exact model, I got it in December 2016, and it only seems to make the loud fan noise when I play certain games on it. I only noticed the issue about a year ago. I thought I should clean it, but I'm nervous about doing it myself, I dont have the tools, the proper place to do it, or I'm just plain nervous about losing screws, or accidently damaging any wires :(

When the time is right, you will know.
