Just watched and finished following the instructions. Thank you a million. We can now hear the birds chirping in our hunting game. We don’t have to yell across the house anymore. We can say yes if the kids ask to play the PS4 🤣

Thank you!!! 👏🙌🔥❤️

Thanks for this detailed video! Bought a PS4 Pro and it was a jet engine. Just like the video, there was an 1/8 inch of dust layered on the heat sink. Probably the real problem why it was so loud but cleaned it all out, replaced the thermal paste and did it all in about an hour. The power cable was definitely the hardest and was really hoping I didn't break it getting it off. Everything worked and is quiet as a mouse.

Thank you! I knew my PS4 needed a clean up and you explained everything so easily that I manage to completely follow every single step without any fear of destroying my console. You're the best!
But I gotta agree with some comments, you have to be careful with the power supply, thankfully nothing bad happened to me but my dad it's an electric engineer and I know for a fact that even without a power source it can store enough energy to pack a good punch.

Thankyou for demostration!!
I finished cleaning the machine and all goes good...the noise has gone and i can enjoy my ps4pro

Followed the instructions and it worked a treat. Pay particular attention to the PSU cable when you reassemble, I thought it was through cleanly but realised it was snagged after I'd replaced everything on the other side - added another half an hour to the job. In total 2.5 - 3 hours the first time. PS4 Pro is now back to original levels quiet i.e. fan is on but not noticeable

My wife and I just did it, watching your invaluable video, thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏 it's worth the hassle, my PS4 pro sounds like a new one, I couldn't get the power cable removed, it was super stuck so I had to do it with power cable attached to the motherboard, it was hard but worth it!! Can't thank you enough, love from Bangladesh ❤ 🇧🇩

I followed your video and my PS4 pro went from jet plane to silent. I was shocked how much it changed. I used mx-4 and thermal pads 1mm and it worked great. My only issue was there was a clear film on the thermal pads that I didn't notice until I had pasted it already so I had to take it apart and repaste but no big deal. Hopefully it stays this silent for a long time.

Just went through your whole video - thanks for such a detailed walkthrough.. so far, no jet engine after reassembly 🤘

[elFulberto]

You are a life saver! I have long forgotten that a ps4 could be this quiet while on.

[mannyboy]

Dude your video saved my ps4 pro! In going to show this to my gamer friends who still play ps4.

[Yodes]

Thanks for this video! My PS4 Pro was getting pretty loud. The issue I found out wasn’t caused by too much dust buildup, but was due to it desperately needing new thermal paste. It runs way cooler/quieter now!

[thefifthdoctor]

Thanks so much for this I’ve just changed thermal paste and pads. Working a charm. That power cable was so difficult. Caution to anyone.

[Roadburner]

I just wanna say thank you I thought I’d have to replace my PS4 but now she’s just as good as the day I got her!

[Draykez]

Thanks very much! I can't hear it at all anymore and can finally play my games in peace :)

[therosses]

This helped us fix a ps4 that was shutting down a few minutes after starting up. Sounded like a jet engine. It works now and us quieter!

[Entgineering]

Thank you! I coudlnt even game my fan was running so hard. Now its whisper quiet. I owe you man.

[SentinelEx]

Just did mine. I have the Glacier White 7215b model. The previous owner never cleaned it out. So much dust and build up around the heatsink. The Pro got so loud I thought it was gonna explode lmao. I applied TM30 thermal paste and left the pads alone. Now my Pro is quiet. Just as quiet as my PS4 slim!

[Gunmetal.R]

You need to be seriously careful opening power supplies, IMHO you should've warned people of doing this while risking their own safety, those capacitors still hold a huge amount of voltage even when the machine has been turned off and disconnected from the outlet. Other than that good video. For future reference never muck around with psus people.

[rogueone]

Thanks man. I finally realised the main cause of the heat and concord engine noise. Mine was all clean until I got to the main bit and was clogged like yours. That finally fixed it and now it sounds brand new. I didn't have any paste so I just applied the same paste on the back. Hope that is ok. I have ordered some when I get it I will apply it later. Thanks again.
