The higher the heat, the more impact performance on the FPS. So he added thermal compounds pads and better thermal paste on the cpu/APU, just so the system can perform better cooling solutions and provide stable FPS. The fan controller is a bonus, it helps remove heat from the heat sink much quicker and keeps the cpu/APU much cooler. Think of it this way adding an cold air intake in your motor for it to breathe and run better right? Same concept what the guy is doing on the PS4 pro. Hope this helps.
Would be goofy to go through all this trouble without upgrading to an SSD. I don't see much else to upgrade though. In 2023 I feel like I'm putting this console on life support lol
The main upgrade here is thermal paste. The fan trim is nice for forcing higher fan speeds prior to the ps4 ramping. Its not needed but its a nice mod! Ultimately this mod will provide the most stable gaming experience in a ps4 without liquid cooling.
believe me, good thermal pads compared to the stock once are a big deal. I had an issue with my Ps4 Pro goin insanely loud even after completly cleaning it & renewing the thermal paste. Then I read on some forum about how important those heating pads are in lots of electronic devices and how bad the stock once are in the console. After that I ordered new thicker and better quality pads. After an easy installation - no more heating issues.
Lowering the noise of the fan prevents the console from remaining at temperature, what you did is wrong .. because if you play too much it heats up and risks burning the components.
@NVelme OK. So its not that the factory fan cant handle the heat that the system puts out, but probably that the air path is too restricted. That causes the air velocity flowing past the heatsinks to be too high, and makes it so there isnt enough heat transfer to cool them down. If slowing the fan down with a resister drops the temp like that, changing the air path would make a huge impact, and the processor (and system) temps would drop much further. While your fix has dropped the core temp, the vented air temp would be much higher, and would cook everything on its way out. It might just transfer the issue to another part of the system. Simply slotting the case wherever the restriction is would be the next step. Also, fitting a decent, slotted, heatsink. And then, likely a small circulation fan to the case as well, to balance the air flow, and stop any hot air recirculating. A lot of "little" fixes, all because Sony didnt make the casing just a little bigger. I guess thats the reason others have gone as far as fitting water cooling. Might have to have a dig around in one of mine, and see what i have to fix/change/break to get it working properly...
thx for the teardown. I ended up with an extra screw, but it was because the mounting hole broke. Im sure it broke do to me man handling it trying to get the bottom cover off lol. replaced thermal paste (Arctic MX4), replaced thermal pads (Arctic 1.5mm), cut 80mm hole above fan, coverd with DEMCiflex 80mm circular filter. Results: I can still hear the fan, but it doesnt rev up anymore. I wouldnt say its quiet, but it doesnt sound like a jet anymore. It was never quiet in the first place, but on certain screens like maps, the fps isnt capped and the fan would get crazy loud.
the 1mm didnt touch the heatsink. syr for necro response, I think i measured the original pads and they were 1.5 or at least closer to 1.5, but i believe they were definitely thicker than 1mm. I cant say anything about temps, because i have no way of measuring it, but it doesnt seem as hot, though its still very warm. Personally, aside from installing a custom heatsink, the original heatsink is inadequate for cooling it properly, but its the best that can be done for such a compact design. The only other thing that can be done is installing it in a proper case with a proper heatsink. The difference in heat and noise is marginal, but I had fun doing it. My guesstimate is 5-10%. Vs the cost and effort involved, its worth doing.
@@tetrotworca The PS4 Pro fan is decent by itself. No need to add a fan speed controller. (Nvelme saying this gives you more fps. It doesn't, Fps are still restricted by how much power the PS4 as a whole can squeeze out of the APU. Go watch something useful. Don't even try doind what Nvelme did, it's useless
@@GaDTV its sandwiched. you only put thermal paste on the cpu. then the heatsink sits on top of it. hes removing all old thermal paste to replace with new stuff.
SO EVEN WITH THE CHANGE IN THE FAN I THINK THE THERMAL PASTE HELPED WITH THE COOLING MORE THEN ANYTHING WHEN YOU HAVE 8.5 W/MK OF THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY VS 3.3 W/MK IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE
This pointless mod is built upon two faulty premises. 1. You lose frame rate when the PS4 Pro overheats (you don't). 2. The PS4 Pro is prone to overheating (it isn't). The music is bad too.
@@TheGutterpunkStevo mines never over heated an is quieter as a mouse some units are obviously not as good as others I don't get it ...an trust me I play for hours an hours on proper graphics intense games maybe it's the luck of the draw
You don't understand a PC as a console gamer then. "Thermal throttling" has been a technology in both Intel and AMD processors which has been on the chips since the Pentium released. (1990s and even before). When the system overheats, it reduces the clock speed of the CPU in order to generate less heat to prevent death.
Man, it's as easy as check it on PC. While the heat is between safe range the cpu and gpu performance is all the same. You can try benchmarks, it wont change a bit. Ironically the way to improve performance with the same hardware is by overclocking ( what makes the heat increase ) but as I said, the heat just has to be between safe range.
You will have unstable frame rates because if the hardware gets hot enough it will throttle performance & cause drops in frames. It won't "increase performance" but it will at least be more stable with better cooling.
@Xaphan Vassago it can do that. Everything related to cpu's or GPU'S work like that. But it's a console só it's designed to work for a long time. It's dumb doing this. Apparently, the NOOB it's you not him. Why do you think consoles also heat up. Why do you think the Xbox 360 had a Red Ring of death when it came out? It kept overheating and then it kept shutting down to cool down. Do some research, NOOB
Just replaced the thermal paste and thermal pads in my PS4 Pro after owning it since launch. The paste and pads it comes with is pure trash. The thermal pads tore as I removed them, and the paste was like clay. Used Arctic MX-4 paste, and Arctic thermal pads. Call of Duty WWII runs nice and quiet now.
I appreciate the job you did, but I highly doubt it will increase the FPS especially that the console is still very new and the thermal past is not dry yet.
It looked like there was too much thermal paste on there to begin with. Too much thermal paste can cause the console to run hotter. Second you can put in some better thermal paste that will last longer and perform better than what the console came with
I don't know what this guys is doing with this PS4 to run so hot. But mine doesn't overheat, and I got since release. I only replaced the thermal paste. But I didn't add a fan speed controller, and it still works fine
Good job! I'll do it myself this small change. I wanted to ask .... when cutting the wires and bond must comply with the measure, or can stretch the wires lightly to bring the trimmer outside of the pro ps4 box?
Dude, don't do this, this is useless. All he's doing is adding a fan speed controller. This is dumb. You'll be voiding your warranty for something that's not even worth it
I dont understand why so many dislikes.. I was thinking maybe they didnt understand which terminals to hookup on the rheostat maybe? You have some excellent tips in here for ppl. You could have got a nice rheo and made it external, think thats what I would have done not that it matters..A 5 star video my man, great ideas! Love the video, thank you
This will not increase fps. Simply taking off the top cover and blowing/vacuuming out/off the dust from the fan and surrounding vents will keep your system cool. Most of this was unnecessary, and then purposefully modding the fan to run permanently at a high rpm is not recommended. This is not worth doing for a 1° drop in temperature.
If you think this mod will only produce a 1° drop in temperature, you've clearly never done anything similar to any kind of device. Even fresh thermal paste alone can bring the temps down by as much as 5°, and this will be more if the factory thermal paste and/or pads were rubbish (which they usually are). I replaced the thermal paste on my launch Xbox 360, and it ran noticeably quieter as a result. I've also replaced the thermal paste on Pentium 4 machines back in the day, and that got temps down by over 10° using stock coolers.
So your honestly going to tell me all the work that was done in this video is worth doing, such as having the fan premanently run at max rpm, or at none system regulated rpm as soon as the system is turned on, and replacing thermal pads, and going through the trouble of not activitating void warranty stickers, with little to no decrease in system temperature? I'd recommend the work, as long as its peak/max temperature went down few degrees, but ending the video with an identically heat signature that shows no improvement is a bad choice. Also, my 5yr old PC alone has 5 case fans and 2 cpu mounted fans(Cooler Master 212), not once have it sounded anything like an jet taking off. Temps never went above 50°C (Thats while gaming 3-5+ hour in a room without AC), I know fans. Again what is seen specifically within this video is not worth the trouble. My launch PS4 sounded like vacuum cleaner, I simple opened it blew the dust out with a can of air, and vacuumed/blew dust out of the fan and heat sink. It sounded like it was brand new, mind you it went 3yrs before getting its first cleaning. Now my PRO got its first cleaning about 6 months after release, for safe measure. Luckily the top cover comes off without voiding any warranty, then I used the same method as before. Back to the video, look at the beginning and end heat signatures and heat sigmatures, there pretty much identical. These systems were built to regulate the internal temps on the fly, and where I live temps in the summer are usually 75- mid to upper 90's. This is a waste of time, thats just my opinion.
madmax2069 Your telling me this why? I have 2 unused tubez of Arctic silver 5, I am well aware of the quality differences, but to the average consumer, this stuff is pointless, as it is relatively easy to maintain a quiet and cool PS4 pro and Slim, by simply taking off the top cover and blowing/vacuuming the dust out and off the vents and fan. Why should the average consumer risk destroying their systems, with this method when there are way more simple methods available? While we're at it, lets have people drill custom socket holes through their systems motherboard/pcb, to accommodate off the shelf liquid cooling kits, so that they can overclock their apu's to run their games at 60 or even 120fps? This video is trying to sell people on needless, enhancments to boost their fps, even though the before and after heat signatures are identical, and on top of that the paste and pads didnt even drop the PS4 Pro's max/peak temperature, as seen when these same methods are done to PC's, in short I think its useless, but the choice is entirely up to you and whatever consumers that believe this video.
Подстроичный резистор это конечно не плохой вариант, но есть проще на много: Термопаста МХ-4; теплопроводная прокладка между защитным экраном материнской платы и экраном оперативной памяти ( маленький который винты проца закрывает).

This is a joke video, right? It must be... By manually increasing fan RPMs you'll be also increasing the noise and the dust accumulation, things that can't really be considered as "positive" and in case of "increased dust accumulation" you'll be eventually making the cooling performance worse. Since what you're showing will void the warranty anyway (regardless of how "careful" you think you are when putting those screw-covering stickers back on) - there's a much better way to increase cooling as well as decrease the overall noise levels and simultaneously decrease dust intake: take a 120mm (or larger) holesaw, take a drill, and drill a hole in the exterior cover right above the fan. After that, just mount a fan dust filter (plenty of those available on Newegg/Amazon/eBay) on top of that hole and you're all set. When the fan filter gets visually dirty - all you need is to vacuum it without even removing it. THAT is the REAL useful mod, especially for people with pets at home.
John Doe i see what you mean, but with your method you are loosing warranty anyway. people should open consoles once in two years to clean. but after this mod cooling is way better. by drilling holes you are loosing air flow to different motherboard components, because you are sucking air directly from holes. after drilling holes you are loosing value. if for example ps5 comes out and you want to sell it... you will get less with holes in casing. with my method dust can be easily vacuumed from side vents.
John Doe I rather have a bit of noise than a over heating lost of performance product. these days people are so worried about the slightest noise and do not realize they are losing performance. fans will always have noise if they are to keep your devices cool properly. how much noise is the difference.
I was about to say the same thing. The fans need to ramp up with the temps. unless you wanna keep it all the way up and hear a jet plane taking off in your house... XD
I’ve seen worse. I recently had to fix my wife’s Xbox because I dropped it so I watched a video and the guy literally scraped the old paste off with a flathead screwdriver

@@NVelme Thanks! :) What do you think about the temperatures I measure? Good enough? What temperatures do you get with an unmodded PS4Pro? I' m asking because I get the infrared thermometer after I modded mine. The only thing I realy know is that it is quieter than before.
@@NVelme Extend lifespan... Do you even know what you're doing? You're adding more voltage then default to a fan, essentialy overclocking it. It probably just removes some of you're life span
The main problem with consoles are that they are two thin. Increase the thickness by 40% to help air flow so that the internal components are less packed tightly together to increase the air flow around them. Basically make them more like a desktops computers from the late 1990s through 2005. Make them look like A Compaq Evo D510 Desktop Computer from the early 2000s and add a bigger cooling fan on the back of the machine to push air out of the machine with a three speed fan switch you can control from the back of the machine with a Phipps head screwdriver and a second fixed speed fan on the front of the machine that pulls air into the console both fans are 3 inch square by 1 inch thick.
You could apply Liquid metal tim like Thermal Grizzly since the the silicon chip touches a copper block not aluminium just use supper 33+ electrical tape to cover the transistors around the silicon chip so it can't make any connections.
Everyone complaining about their console being too loud, I have a fix for almost everyone. THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY. What you'll need is the thermal grizzly metallic base thermal compound, isopropyl alcohol preferably 99.9%, torx 8 screwdriver, Phillips head screwdriver, thermal pads, and some acrylic conformal coating. Dismantle the PS4, Xbox, or Nintendo console. Make sure your heat sink and the internal heat spreader on the soldered in GPU / CPU isn't made of aluminum. The thermal paste will be using is partly made from gallium which will destroy aluminum. Once you have verified that your heat sinks aren't made from aluminum get some conformal coating and put it on the resistors next to the dye where the thermal paste should go. If all you see is a big square over the CPU or GPU apply heat and go in between the chips and the IHS. If you can use a plastic tool instead of a metal tool use it. Do this and you'll have a less likely chance to break off a resistor. Once that is removed we can continue. Go over everything but the dye with the acrylic conformal coating three times and it let it dry an hour in between each time. Once that is done apply your thermal grizzly conductonaut and make sure that it's a very thin layer spread out on the entire die whatever is left on the included q-tip spreader put that on to the part that connects the heat sink to the dye or IHS. Afterwards you'll see a few chips right next to the CPU/GPU in a circle. Cut your thermal pads to size and apply them to the chips. Be sure that your console is the cleanest that can possibly be and reassemble. Congratulations your Playstation or Xbox now runs about 10 Celsius cooler. what this means is that the PS4 or Xbox fan won't kick into turbo jet mode. Please note that if you are using a console that has an IHS before the dye of the CPU and GPU you will have to add two layers of thermal compound. One in between the IHS / CPU and one in between the IHS and the heat sink. This is basically all you can do without damaging the console itself or the plastics.
Lol I remember that EVGA mistake, but probably PS4 vrms don't even need cooling from the low clocks and shit, no idea whatsoever about their temps... All I know is the ones on my PC have a big cooler and even a motherboard shield with a fan but they are always burning hot in fact everything can be even at 40C° but the god damn VRMs are always at like 70C° just idling.
If he used a better thermal paste, I would have given him props for that he used $10 arctic silver x which is just a meh thermal paste. If you put in so much effort at least put some expensive thermal paste in there.
Es para controlar el voltaje y asi hacer que el fan gire más lento o a su maximo a voluntad. Creo que estuvo mal ponerle un potenciometro ahi, primero eliminas el que el PS4 active el fan conforme al calor, para que no este al maximo todo el tiempo (mucho ruido) segundo el potenciometro se calienta (esta recibiendo voltaje corriente) ahi estas agregando un elemento más de calor para un lugar muy reducido.
Just yankin your chain... ;) I've replaced the thermal compound in my 3 year old ps4, and it makes a world of difference(in audible fan noise). But if your console isn't old, this would not have the same effect.
it will. as you see on my videos even thermal pads are not in place, if like you said after 3 years fan is noisy, it could be permanent for someone, i saw many overheated apu's, cpu's gpu's'they are discolored and not the same frequency any more. with cooling mod after 3 years it will be still like new
Dont see what the point is on it, Just change the thermal paste and leave it at that, you dont need a fan spin control because the system can handle that on its own
If you did all that might have as well put on liquid metal on the cpu all i did was just change the paste to thermal grizzly. no point playing with the warranty stickers if you are soldering those wires its pretty much voided.
I think this cheaper than my idea. I bought an A/C unit and placed it on the window nearest to my system setup. If things are starting to heat up I just turn it on and cool everything down plus my room.
Over running the fan can cause a power outage or even the fan to stop working. This is a very high risk job. I would only change the thermal paste/ pad. Or even buy 120 mm fan to connect to help cool the system. Great video thanks
Barely, if any, difference between thermal images. For me, the risk of doing this (specially since I do not have experience modding consoles) is bigger than the appreciable benefits, reflecting only on a slightly different image.
I just bought a cheap desk fan for around £20, which I point at the PS4 whenever I play. This is overall nearly silent, with no risky tinkering inside my PS4 pro, and I agree with all the others, making the internal fan run faster, will make your PS4 pro very, VERY, noisy indeed. I don't recommend that. Cheap desk fan from Tesco, video that method using your thermal camera, you'll see it really works, also run a noise comparison video, its way quieter, its safe, cheap, and gets the best results.
I did d mine yesterday I re-pasted my slim with MX-4 and replaced the thermal pads with K5 Pro man it runs buttery smooth now no more frame drops etc.., after only 3 years of use there thermal compound was dry and hard just sad and there was barely any on there and it was missing 4 thermal pads from the factory good job Sony
This is a dumb idea to mod fan the fan is optimised to speed up or slow down meaning program tested when should slow down or speed up fan is percisionaly factory made what a stupid idea i have a ps4 standard use mx2 thermal compound as been whisper quiet since
blue light of death was because of poor solder joints on the APU. not overheating. and that really only effected the original ps4 not the pro. the fan curve on the pros is actually very good. but they just natural run hot because of the new APU and the overclock. so really this was a huge waste of time. that and you smudged the heat sink block. those fingerprints will bake onto that and fuck it up over time.
7:04. you can see a nice.... thumb print? on the block. those blocks should be cleaned to shit. you can even notices a little smudging while he is tightening down the screws.
All I did was take mine apart, clean the stock fan, replace the thermal grease and put it back together, its quiet and runs for hours seamlessly as I play between 4&6 hours a day and usually 13 hours on Sunday.
WTF??? It sounds like a Jet? If u want a better cooling for ur ps4.. replace the thermal compound with liquid metal... U dont need to put a speed controller... -_-
I literally just bought an external cooling fan for less than 30 bucks on amazon which also doubles for 2 controller chargers. Never had an overheating or dust buildup on my PS4 Pro that was almost 3 years ago.
You don't ever need to use that much thermal paste on ANYTHING you're ever using it on. Gunking the shit out of everything just worsens cooling. The whole point of thermal compount is to bridge the micro gaps between the die and the cooler so heat can transfer. Too little you don't bridge the gap, too much and you just create insulation.
A faster fan is great but also means it vacuums more dust and clogs up the heat sync faster. And the heat gain increase. I have a pro and j found taking out the psu and blowing out the dust helps. Also afyer warranty 're paste the processor. Also having a cool room and dust free environment is best obviously
it does not get dusty too fast, once a year, cleaning and like new. while on warranty, console gets hot if paste is bad and over time, even if you change paste after, processor wears over time by heat
i'm not sure about fps but in long term taking care for your PS4 or any other should extend the life of it. as we all know the APU is one of the most commont faults that occure on PS4 after ofcourse the HDMI going dead and dont forget to repeat it again after an year or so(cleaning the dust and renewing the termal paste) . So nice work i can say !!!

The fan controller is a bonus, it helps remove heat from the heat sink much quicker and keeps the cpu/APU much cooler.

an SSD has little effect on the PS3/4 series as sony caps the transfer rate of the SATA interface at about 125MB/s
more fps ? that is joke right ?
no it is not
Overheat usually leads to bad frames
Fam. Bernstein yes thats right.
So thats more stable frames per second,not more of them.
Fam. Bernstein overheating doesnt lead to bad frame rates lol overheating leads to your console shutting itself off to prevent damage
sum up the video, I changed a fan in my PS4 thanks for watching
Nothing happend practically vide the warranty and he tranzformed the ps4 pro fan into a jet engine
User agreement Laws have changed now in opening systems only thing that could have violated it was tapering with the fan everthing else is fine now
The most important thing I learnt from this video was an awesome soldering technique
If you think his soldering technique is awesome then you are way too exposed to poor soldering techniques.
@@jayserr show us
you are the first man who use toothbrush to clean the thermal paste I've ever seen.
thanks. try it out. that is best way to clean small components :D
The main upgrade here is thermal paste. The fan trim is nice for forcing higher fan speeds prior to the ps4 ramping. Its not needed but its a nice mod! Ultimately this mod will provide the most stable gaming experience in a ps4 without liquid cooling.
believe me, good thermal pads compared to the stock once are a big deal.
I had an issue with my Ps4 Pro goin insanely loud even after completly cleaning it & renewing the thermal paste.
Then I read on some forum about how important those heating pads are in lots of electronic devices and how bad the stock once are in the console. After that I ordered new thicker and better quality pads.
After an easy installation - no more heating issues.

*Microsoft employees moan sexually*
ever wonder where xbox came from lol
And now he's going to board it and be able to get from London to New York in 2 hours with the completely pointless fan control.
Lowering the noise of the fan prevents the console from remaining at temperature, what you did is wrong .. because if you play too much it heats up and risks burning the components.
would be nice to get a list/links to the equipment you replaced (fan chip thing, what thermal pads you used etc)
fan chip was 100k potentiometer off ebay, best thermal pads would be arctic cooling ones
Specifics don't matter. I used a usb volt controller and a pmw adapter so I can put a Ryzen Stealth fan on the heatsink
@NVelme OK. So its not that the factory fan cant handle the heat that the system puts out, but probably that the air path is too restricted. That causes the air velocity flowing past the heatsinks to be too high, and makes it so there isnt enough heat transfer to cool them down.
If slowing the fan down with a resister drops the temp like that, changing the air path would make a huge impact, and the processor (and system) temps would drop much further. While your fix has dropped the core temp, the vented air temp would be much higher, and would cook everything on its way out. It might just transfer the issue to another part of the system.
Simply slotting the case wherever the restriction is would be the next step. Also, fitting a decent, slotted, heatsink. And then, likely a small circulation fan to the case as well, to balance the air flow, and stop any hot air recirculating.
A lot of "little" fixes, all because Sony didnt make the casing just a little bigger. I guess thats the reason others have gone as far as fitting water cooling. Might have to have a dig around in one of mine, and see what i have to fix/change/break to get it working properly...

Thank you
thx for the teardown. I ended up with an extra screw, but it was because the mounting hole broke. Im sure it broke do to me man handling it trying to get the bottom cover off lol.
replaced thermal paste (Arctic MX4), replaced thermal pads (Arctic 1.5mm), cut 80mm hole above fan, coverd with DEMCiflex 80mm circular filter.
Results: I can still hear the fan, but it doesnt rev up anymore. I wouldnt say its quiet, but it doesnt sound like a jet anymore. It was never quiet in the first place, but on certain screens like maps, the fps isnt capped and the fan would get crazy loud.
woow nice. thank you! are 1.5 good as well? i thought they are 1mm? arctic the best!!!
the 1mm didnt touch the heatsink. syr for necro response, I think i measured the original pads and they were 1.5 or at least closer to 1.5, but i believe they were definitely thicker than 1mm.
I cant say anything about temps, because i have no way of measuring it, but it doesnt seem as hot, though its still very warm. Personally, aside from installing a custom heatsink, the original heatsink is inadequate for cooling it properly, but its the best that can be done for such a compact design.
The only other thing that can be done is installing it in a proper case with a proper heatsink.
The difference in heat and noise is marginal, but I had fun doing it. My guesstimate is 5-10%.
Vs the cost and effort involved, its worth doing.
I'm not even a huge fan of ps4 but I really enjoyed this video
thank you
Don,t worry people he had a few beers and was not thinking straight when he did the Mod and thought it would improve the PlayStation.
Martin Martin obviously. Faster fan speed equals better cooling
hahahahhaahahhahahahahhaah
NVelme not if your ps4 is damm hot its need fresh cool air to give good temps
How to ruin your PS4 Pro

You forgot the cooling paste on the last processor at: 7:30
ondieper what?
GaD TV when he takes the paste off notice how he takes it off in two places but puts it on in one place
@@GaDTV its sandwiched. you only put thermal paste on the cpu. then the heatsink sits on top of it. hes removing all old thermal paste to replace with new stuff.
The last processor? The paste is already on the APU (assuming that's what it is) and he flips it over onto the heatsink you're talking about.
You call that a mod? what a GOD of mods you are man!!! Turning your ps4 into a jet engine is something out this world!!! WOOOOW !!!
Who else didn't know wtf he was doing the entire time, but kept watching cause it's interesting lol
SO EVEN WITH THE CHANGE IN THE FAN I THINK THE THERMAL PASTE HELPED WITH THE COOLING MORE THEN ANYTHING WHEN YOU HAVE 8.5 W/MK OF THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY VS 3.3 W/MK IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE
air flow almost tripple speed now
This pointless mod is built upon two faulty premises. 1. You lose frame rate when the PS4 Pro overheats (you don't). 2. The PS4 Pro is prone to overheating (it isn't). The music is bad too.
you could cook eggs on some of them, trust me :)
I have a PS4 Pro and they ARE prone to overheating. You obviously don't own one
@@TheGutterpunkStevo mines never over heated an is quieter as a mouse some units are obviously not as good as others I don't get it ...an trust me I play for hours an hours on proper graphics intense games maybe it's the luck of the draw
You don't understand a PC as a console gamer then. "Thermal throttling" has been a technology in both Intel and AMD processors which has been on the chips since the Pentium released. (1990s and even before). When the system overheats, it reduces the clock speed of the CPU in order to generate less heat to prevent death.
When doing a tutorial that’s complicated you should talk because it makes it easier for us to understand
thanks! will do in future
NVelme I wasn’t being rude just a friendly tip that’s all
thanks
more cooling does not necessarily improve performance
Shayan TheThief of course it does 😁
Man, it's as easy as check it on PC. While the heat is between safe range the cpu and gpu performance is all the same. You can try benchmarks, it wont change a bit. Ironically the way to improve performance with the same hardware is by overclocking ( what makes the heat increase ) but as I said, the heat just has to be between safe range.
NVelme the developers lock the games at 30fps and few games at 60fps so no it does not increse the performance.
You will have unstable frame rates because if the hardware gets hot enough it will throttle performance & cause drops in frames. It won't "increase performance" but it will at least be more stable with better cooling.
@Xaphan Vassago it can do that. Everything related to cpu's or GPU'S work like that. But it's a console só it's designed to work for a long time. It's dumb doing this. Apparently, the NOOB it's you not him. Why do you think consoles also heat up. Why do you think the Xbox 360 had a Red Ring of death when it came out? It kept overheating and then it kept shutting down to cool down. Do some research, NOOB
Just replaced the thermal paste and thermal pads in my PS4 Pro after owning it since launch. The paste and pads it comes with is pure trash. The thermal pads tore as I removed them, and the paste was like clay. Used Arctic MX-4 paste, and Arctic thermal pads. Call of Duty WWII runs nice and quiet now.
nice one
I just play in A/C it keeps me chill and my ps4 pro chilled.
This mod is only possible with ps4 pro "gen 2" as the motherboard is diffrent from the first ps4 pro.. Remember that
I appreciate the job you did, but I highly doubt it will increase the FPS especially that the console is still very new and the thermal past is not dry yet.
Karim Errytouny new consoles tend to go up to 75 c normal temperature is 60
It looked like there was too much thermal paste on there to begin with. Too much thermal paste can cause the console to run hotter. Second you can put in some better thermal paste that will last longer and perform better than what the console came with
I don't know what this guys is doing with this PS4 to run so hot. But mine doesn't overheat, and I got since release. I only replaced the thermal paste. But I didn't add a fan speed controller, and it still works fine
It would be nice if you explained what thermal paste and what the white and black pads are that you stuck on the chips.
thermal paste is mx-4 and i placed original pads back on( best alternative would be arctic cooling pads 1mm thick
Good job! I'll do it myself this small change. I wanted to ask .... when cutting the wires and bond must comply with the measure, or can stretch the wires lightly to bring the trimmer outside of the pro ps4 box?
i guess to get trimmer out you need to extend wires, by soldering to them
all right! then there is no problem if you stretch them! Only I wonder if just enough to cool the console. Thanks for the information!!
Luca Barbieri yes it will be more than enough
Dude, don't do this, this is useless. All he's doing is adding a fan speed controller. This is dumb. You'll be voiding your warranty for something that's not even worth it
I dont understand why so many dislikes.. I was thinking maybe they didnt understand which terminals to hookup on the rheostat maybe? You have some excellent tips in here for ppl. You could have got a nice rheo and made it external, think thats what I would have done not that it matters..A 5 star video my man, great ideas! Love the video, thank you
thank you, i appreciate it. i believe some people are against opening new consoles, or they do not know how cooling improves lifespan and performance
This will not increase fps. Simply taking off the top cover and blowing/vacuuming out/off the dust from the fan and surrounding vents will keep your system cool.
Most of this was unnecessary, and then purposefully modding the fan to run permanently at a high rpm is not recommended.
This is not worth doing for a 1° drop in temperature.
If you think this mod will only produce a 1° drop in temperature, you've clearly never done anything similar to any kind of device. Even fresh thermal paste alone can bring the temps down by as much as 5°, and this will be more if the factory thermal paste and/or pads were rubbish (which they usually are). I replaced the thermal paste on my launch Xbox 360, and it ran noticeably quieter as a result. I've also replaced the thermal paste on Pentium 4 machines back in the day, and that got temps down by over 10° using stock coolers.
So your honestly going to tell me all the work that was done in this video is worth doing, such as having the fan premanently run at max rpm, or at none system regulated rpm as soon as the system is turned on, and replacing thermal pads, and going through the trouble of not activitating void warranty stickers, with little to no decrease in system temperature?
I'd recommend the work, as long as its peak/max temperature went down few degrees, but ending the video with an identically heat signature that shows no improvement is a bad choice.
Also, my 5yr old PC alone has 5 case fans and 2 cpu mounted fans(Cooler Master 212), not once have it sounded anything like an jet taking off. Temps never went above 50°C (Thats while gaming 3-5+ hour in a room without AC), I know fans.
Again what is seen specifically within this video is not worth the trouble. My launch PS4 sounded like vacuum cleaner, I simple opened it blew the dust out with a can of air, and vacuumed/blew dust out of the fan and heat sink. It sounded like it was brand new, mind you it went 3yrs before getting its first cleaning.
Now my PRO got its first cleaning about 6 months after release, for safe measure. Luckily the top cover comes off without voiding any warranty, then I used the same method as before.
Back to the video, look at the beginning and end heat signatures and heat sigmatures, there pretty much identical.
These systems were built to regulate the internal temps on the fly, and where I live temps in the summer are usually 75- mid to upper 90's.
This is a waste of time, thats just my opinion.
ONE2THR the new thermal paste alone will drop the temps, the AS5 he used will drop temps over the crap SONY uses as thermal paste.
madmax2069
Your telling me this why?
I have 2 unused tubez of Arctic silver 5, I am well aware of the quality differences, but to the average consumer, this stuff is pointless, as it is relatively easy to maintain a quiet and cool PS4 pro and Slim, by simply taking off the top cover and blowing/vacuuming the dust out and off the vents and fan.
Why should the average consumer risk destroying their systems, with this method when there are way more simple methods available?
While we're at it, lets have people drill custom socket holes through their systems motherboard/pcb, to accommodate off the shelf liquid cooling kits, so that they can overclock their apu's to run their games at 60 or even 120fps?
This video is trying to sell people on needless, enhancments to boost their fps, even though the before and after heat signatures are identical, and on top of that the paste and pads didnt even drop the PS4 Pro's max/peak temperature, as seen when these same methods are done to PC's, in short I think its useless, but the choice is entirely up to you and whatever consumers that believe this video.
I don't know what kind of screen you use, but the start image is much brighter.
me: clicking video, 0:02 pausing, disliking after hearing the music, coming to chat and having fun 🤓😎
If the thermal imager cannot show it onscreen, can you list the temperature gradients, improvement deltas?
Подстроичный резистор это конечно не плохой вариант, но есть проще на много: Термопаста МХ-4; теплопроводная прокладка между защитным экраном материнской платы и экраном оперативной памяти ( маленький который винты проца закрывает). Итог один - приставка больше не газует и не пытается набрать скорость для взлёта
This is a joke video, right? It must be... By manually increasing fan RPMs you'll be also increasing the noise and the dust accumulation, things that can't really be considered as "positive" and in case of "increased dust accumulation" you'll be eventually making the cooling performance worse.
Since what you're showing will void the warranty anyway (regardless of how "careful" you think you are when putting those screw-covering stickers back on) - there's a much better way to increase cooling as well as decrease the overall noise levels and simultaneously decrease dust intake: take a 120mm (or larger) holesaw, take a drill, and drill a hole in the exterior cover right above the fan. After that, just mount a fan dust filter (plenty of those available on Newegg/Amazon/eBay) on top of that hole and you're all set. When the fan filter gets visually dirty - all you need is to vacuum it without even removing it. THAT is the REAL useful mod, especially for people with pets at home.
John Doe i see what you mean, but with your method you are loosing warranty anyway. people should open consoles once in two years to clean. but after this mod cooling is way better. by drilling holes you are loosing air flow to different motherboard components, because you are sucking air directly from holes. after drilling holes you are loosing value. if for example ps5 comes out and you want to sell it... you will get less with holes in casing. with my method dust can be easily vacuumed from side vents.
John Doe I rather have a bit of noise than a over heating lost of performance product. these days people are so worried about the slightest noise and do not realize they are losing performance. fans will always have noise if they are to keep your devices cool properly. how much noise is the difference.
NVelme that's why I not buy a pro because you have to mod it to cool it down
I was about to say the same thing. The fans need to ramp up with the temps. unless you wanna keep it all the way up and hear a jet plane taking off in your house... XD
Brownieman91 good thing about this mod is, that fans do ramp up
You should have been slower with the assembly when cutting the wire part. Cause didn't get what you we're doing with electric pipe blower.

Like really. Aren't the inner layers supposed to be treated with care.
I’ve seen worse. I recently had to fix my wife’s Xbox because I dropped it so I watched a video and the guy literally scraped the old paste off with a flathead screwdriver

Why would the fan set the console on fire?
Hello,
I also tried to optimize the cooling of my PS4PRO.
My Modification:
- replaced the original thermalpaste on the APU with thermal grizzly kryonaut paste
- replaced original thermalpads on the DC Converters with Alphacool Eisschicht 14, 1mm
- Cut a 140 mm round hole thru the bottom of the case and metal plate above the rams
- removed the metal shield above the rams
- fixed copper heatsinks 14x14x7mm (Alphacool heatsinks cut to height 7mm) on the ram with thermal adhesive tape
- installed a 140mm fan (Prolimatech Ultra Sleek Vortex 14) with a dust filter on the bottom of the case above the ram with the fixed copper heatsinks
- connected the 4-pin PWM fan on the bottom with an 7v 3-pin to 4-pin Molex adapter to a external power supply
- cut a 80mm hole above the PS4Pro fan and installed a dust filter
- fixed 4x HIFI-FEET 33x22 on the bottom with doublesided adhesive tape, so that the installed 140mm fan gets air
Tools for testing temperature and noise:
- Infrared thermometer (thermal sensors inside the console would be better)
- Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 with Sound Meter App play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gamebasic.decibel

Key Mac Gamez same for my console. i did cooling mod to extend lifespan

@@NVelme Extend lifespan... Do you even know what you're doing? You're adding more voltage then default to a fan, essentialy overclocking it. It probably just removes some of you're life span
The main problem with consoles are that they are two thin. Increase the thickness by 40% to help air flow so that the internal components are less packed tightly together to increase the air flow around them. Basically make them more like a desktops computers from the late 1990s through 2005. Make them look like A Compaq Evo D510 Desktop Computer from the early 2000s and add a bigger cooling fan on the back of the machine to push air out of the machine with a three speed fan switch you can control from the back of the machine with a Phipps head screwdriver and a second fixed speed fan on the front of the machine that pulls air into the console both fans are 3 inch square by 1 inch thick.
yes that would change a lot
main problem with consoles is having the power supply within. Power supply out would freshen any PS4 instantly.
@calculator 2 Just put a handle on it problem solved.
Do you know how thick the thermal pads are? I would also like to replace the with some better ones
they are 1mm, need soft ones, i saw some on ebay for ps4
NVelme thanks a lot!
you welcome :D
You could apply Liquid metal tim like Thermal Grizzly since the the silicon chip touches a copper block not aluminium just use supper 33+ electrical tape to cover the transistors around the silicon chip so it can't make any connections.
Everyone complaining about their console being too loud, I have a fix for almost everyone. THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY. What you'll need is the thermal grizzly metallic base thermal compound, isopropyl alcohol preferably 99.9%, torx 8 screwdriver, Phillips head screwdriver, thermal pads, and some acrylic conformal coating. Dismantle the PS4, Xbox, or Nintendo console. Make sure your heat sink and the internal heat spreader on the soldered in GPU / CPU isn't made of aluminum. The thermal paste will be using is partly made from gallium which will destroy aluminum. Once you have verified that your heat sinks aren't made from aluminum get some conformal coating and put it on the resistors next to the dye where the thermal paste should go. If all you see is a big square over the CPU or GPU apply heat and go in between the chips and the IHS. If you can use a plastic tool instead of a metal tool use it. Do this and you'll have a less likely chance to break off a resistor. Once that is removed we can continue. Go over everything but the dye with the acrylic conformal coating three times and it let it dry an hour in between each time. Once that is done apply your thermal grizzly conductonaut and make sure that it's a very thin layer spread out on the entire die whatever is left on the included q-tip spreader put that on to the part that connects the heat sink to the dye or IHS. Afterwards you'll see a few chips right next to the CPU/GPU in a circle. Cut your thermal pads to size and apply them to the chips. Be sure that your console is the cleanest that can possibly be and reassemble. Congratulations your Playstation or Xbox now runs about 10 Celsius cooler. what this means is that the PS4 or Xbox fan won't kick into turbo jet mode. Please note that if you are using a console that has an IHS before the dye of the CPU and GPU you will have to add two layers of thermal compound. One in between the IHS / CPU and one in between the IHS and the heat sink. This is basically all you can do without damaging the console itself or the plastics.
WTF no thermal pads on the VRM's. Is this manufactured by EVGA?
Anthony Holloway there are pads, but not alligned
NVelme holy fuck you did this to a pro. Damn. How bad was the cooling before
cooling was all right before, but i wanted that extra cooling
Lol I remember that EVGA mistake, but probably PS4 vrms don't even need cooling from the low clocks and shit, no idea whatsoever about their temps...
All I know is the ones on my PC have a big cooler and even a motherboard shield with a fan but they are always burning hot in fact everything can be even at 40C° but the god damn VRMs are always at like 70C° just idling.
if you really want better cooling liquid metal is a much better option than traditional thermal paste
could try liquid metal in future, but after watching videos with it many people may destroy consoles if applied incorrectly
I lost 11 minutes of my life.

gian mauricio its potentiometer
NVelme de cuánto es el potenciómetro? muy buen vídeo !
rokeer line es 50 pesos
Es para controlar el voltaje y asi hacer que el fan gire más lento o a su maximo a voluntad. Creo que estuvo mal ponerle un potenciometro ahi, primero eliminas el que el PS4 active el fan conforme al calor, para que no este al maximo todo el tiempo (mucho ruido) segundo el potenciometro se calienta (esta recibiendo voltaje corriente) ahi estas agregando un elemento más de calor para un lugar muy reducido.

Just yankin your chain... ;) I've replaced the thermal compound in my 3 year old ps4, and it makes a world of difference(in audible fan noise).
But if your console isn't old, this would not have the same effect.
it will. as you see on my videos even thermal pads are not in place, if like you said after 3 years fan is noisy, it could be permanent for someone, i saw many overheated apu's, cpu's gpu's'they are discolored and not the same frequency any more. with cooling mod after 3 years it will be still like new
Bongan nothing change
The warranty seals are almost worthless now unless you replace the fan cables so they won't know you messed with it.
11:33...and the little ps4 never works again x"c
Dont see what the point is on it, Just change the thermal paste and leave it at that, you dont need a fan spin control because the system can handle that on its own
I'm getting more fps while watching this! Whoooooo
If you did all that might have as well put on liquid metal on the cpu all i did was just change the paste to thermal grizzly.
no point playing with the warranty stickers if you are soldering those wires its pretty much voided.
o_0 Ummm yeah... you no longer have to do this anymore to get more fps. they made a feature called boost mode. >_
yes you right, but while in boost mode it will get even hotter, thats where mod steps in
NVelme ps4's are made to get hot, they are heat resistant and can run flawlessly at 90 celcius
Thinking of putting low profile aluminum ram sinks to help with cooling with artic epoxy thermal
you don't get more fps. its just running cooler
Will Austin not even, if anything the fan is just sucking up more dust insted of cooling better
I think this cheaper than my idea. I bought an A/C unit and placed it on the window nearest to my system setup. If things are starting to heat up I just turn it on and cool everything down plus my room.
that is good as well.
Over running the fan can cause a power outage or even the fan to stop working. This is a very high risk job. I would only change the thermal paste/ pad. Or even buy 120 mm fan to connect to help cool the system. Great video thanks
Barely, if any, difference between thermal images. For me, the risk of doing this (specially since I do not have experience modding consoles) is bigger than the appreciable benefits, reflecting only on a slightly different image.
it does change a lot. thermal image shows that heat is not concentrated in one spot
*WASTED!*
I just bought a cheap desk fan for around £20, which I point at the PS4 whenever I play. This is overall nearly silent, with no risky tinkering inside my PS4 pro, and I agree with all the others, making the internal fan run faster, will make your PS4 pro very, VERY, noisy indeed. I don't recommend that. Cheap desk fan from Tesco, video that method using your thermal camera, you'll see it really works, also run a noise comparison video, its way quieter, its safe, cheap, and gets the best results.
God, this video is ridiculously asinine
I did d mine yesterday I re-pasted my slim with MX-4 and replaced the thermal pads with K5 Pro man it runs buttery smooth now no more frame drops etc.., after only 3 years of use there thermal compound was dry and hard just sad and there was barely any on there and it was missing 4 thermal pads from the factory good job Sony
Yeah dude, FPS has increased by replacing thermal paste...
HAHAHAHAHAHA XD
GranTurismo before: 50-60 fps After:240fps hahaha
And adding a fan speed controller which is also pointless
You forgot to put thermal paste back onto one of the parts that you wiped it up from
KGORE nop. I have all of them
This is a dumb idea to mod fan the fan is optimised to speed up or slow down meaning program tested when should slow down or speed up fan is percisionaly factory made what a stupid idea i have a ps4 standard use mx2 thermal compound as been whisper quiet since
ps4 is made to overheat. so many consoles have had blue light of death cause of that
blue light of death was because of poor solder joints on the APU. not overheating. and that really only effected the original ps4 not the pro. the fan curve on the pros is actually very good. but they just natural run hot because of the new APU and the overclock. so really this was a huge waste of time. that and you smudged the heat sink block. those fingerprints will bake onto that and fuck it up over time.
sir Reinhardt What do you mean about smudgeing the heatsink? Can you link the timestamp please?
7:04. you can see a nice.... thumb print? on the block. those blocks should be cleaned to shit. you can even notices a little smudging while he is tightening down the screws.
All I did was take mine apart, clean the stock fan, replace the thermal grease and put it back together, its quiet and runs for hours seamlessly as I play between 4&6 hours a day and usually 13 hours on Sunday.
nice, original paste is bad
WTF??? It sounds like a Jet?
If u want a better cooling for ur ps4.. replace the thermal compound with liquid metal... U dont need to put a speed controller... -_-
RYu Reyes just buy a pc…
@@GaDTV i already did... ^_^
@@GaDTV can't play red dead 2 on pc can you?
why no use the Water block like pc , punch a hole on the top cover connect the water tubing to condensed with fan
could do that, needs some plastic adaptor to screw it together properly
From that music i couldnt stop laughing so hard i mean like how can you take this seriousliy with this kind of music HAHAHAH
hmmm.. isn't fan bearing gonna wear out faster than usual if you keep that fan full time full RPM, if its wear out faster you should not do it.
no, it is at about 40 %. some pc fans go on 100%
Mine ill just put an extra mini fan pointing it on the side of console and make an air flow underneath the console
Ola amigo ensina a fazer usando o potenciometro no ps4 PRÓ onde soldar os fios de maneira correta!!!
ON 4:07 AS WELL AS 6:18 WHAT LIQUID ARE YOU USING TO REMOVE THE THERMAL PASTE?
99 percent alcohol
How can u possible get more fps off a console?
no drops equals more fps
NVelme no it doesnt. The dev of each game has set the fps to 60 or 30. Unless you mean that if the console is let hot you wont have fps drop.
I literally just bought an external cooling fan for less than 30 bucks on amazon which also doubles for 2 controller chargers. Never had an overheating or dust buildup on my PS4 Pro that was almost 3 years ago.
It's not gonna output more FPS even with a water cooler ... it's a console consoles don't thermal throttle
you are so sure i guess you did reverse engineering
@@NVelme He might, but he's right. Consoles are not like PC's you braindead
You don't ever need to use that much thermal paste on ANYTHING you're ever using it on. Gunking the shit out of everything just worsens cooling. The whole point of thermal compount is to bridge the micro gaps between the die and the cooler so heat can transfer. Too little you don't bridge the gap, too much and you just create insulation.
that is good amount. tested
*more fps* you're joking right?
not really no
that's not how consoles work lmao
@@OfficialZeniFlow yes it is you idiot lol. Bad cooling = fps droprate, better cooling = better fps.
@@0dyss3us51 no. It's. Not. Consoles are LOCKED to 30/60 fps.... you won't get higher fps, dumbass
A faster fan is great but also means it vacuums more dust and clogs up the heat sync faster. And the heat gain increase.
I have a pro and j found taking out the psu and blowing out the dust helps. Also afyer warranty 're paste the processor.
Also having a cool room and dust free environment is best obviously
it does not get dusty too fast, once a year, cleaning and like new. while on warranty, console gets hot if paste is bad and over time, even if you change paste after, processor wears over time by heat
Awesome video liked and subbed ;) btw whats the name of the song? 😃
It is my own song. Someone recorded for me. cant find it online yet, I did not upload
NVelme Alright thx anyway 😊
i'm not sure about fps but in long term taking care for your PS4 or any other should extend the life of it. as we all know the APU is one of the most commont faults that occure on PS4 after ofcourse the HDMI going dead and dont forget to repeat it again after an year or so(cleaning the dust and renewing the termal paste) . So nice work i can say !!!
Thanks!
