PlayStation 4 Pro CUH-7200 Review: The Quietest - And Best - Pro Yet?

PlayStation 4 Pro revolutionised rendering for higher resolution displays and has delivered some amazing games. However, the noise on the launch models really gets annoying. The CUH-7100 revision improved matters, but now we have a new Pro - and it's the quietest version yet.

I'm thinking of swapping my ps4 pro for a ps4 pro...

funny how my ps4 pro box calls it 'Jet Black'

For everyone trying to interpret the dB measurements, remember that dB is a logarithmic scale. That means that a drop of 3dB is half the volume.

That's cool but I'll continue to keep my hovercraft pro. No point if within 2 years, a PS5 will be coming out. Just hope it doesn't break down.

Finally, the FULL FAT PS4 Pro experience

I really love learning about console revisions. Thanks, DF, for doing this videos. Also, I'd love seeing some videos like this about some past consoles. For example, PS3 and Wii U are not so well documented (yes, Nintendo made a lot of motherboard revisions across their consoles, even if the product number didn't change).

So i was sick of my ps4 pro (launch model) as it was very very noisy when playing 4k games. After watching this video i sold mine and bought a new cuh7200.
The new ones is sooo quite... its literally night and day difference.

Hotter exhaust temps is a good thing, as it means it's removing more heat from the source. Let's not confuse people.

Do you hear that?

It’s a bunch of sad people who need to validate their purchases in a YouTube comments section!

For the first gen and second gen, you just need to change the APU thermal paste to thermal grizzly kryonaut and change the thermal pads of the ram chips to to a high quality one. Like Gelid GP Extreme. Mine has been whisper quiet ever since. It's been a year now. Still whisper quiet. 7100 model.

As I am going to be buying a PS4 Pro in the next month or so, this video was very helpful. Cheers from Australia 🐨

There is something weird here. The hotter the temps at exhaust the cooler the system should be, this means hot air is being vacated more efficiently. So seeing how 7200 runs hotter and its exhaust is hotter too would mean its cooling is less efficient, which could be result of fan redesign or simply fan speed change.

DIdnt even know they were improving these. This explains my time as a Cowboy sounding like a jet engine.

I got a 7215B model without Red Dead around September in the states. The Pro had been sold out all month so when I finally saw one in-stock I went and bought one and ended up with this model.

Can confirm, it's quiet as a mouse. Especially compared to my launch model base PS4. That thing can sound like a jet engine at times.

My launch ps4pro was a 747 spooling up before takeoff. I now have a glacial white one. Much quieter

[billanten]

I love your channel so much, I learn twice as many nice details in every video compare to other channels and i didnt even know I needed to learn about them .Best place to get informed about technology and video games hands down !Keep up the good work <3 .

Richard's shirt blends in so well with the chair, I just see a talking face on a chair 😂🤣

I have the red dead redemption 2 bundle its model cuh-7215b figure 8 power supply, my wii u not playing a game is louder than my pro when playing shadow of the tomb raider at 4k its very quiet ive tested many games ffxv, mgsv, skyrim, destiny 2 all at 4k and skyrim and ffxv on high settings are the only 2 that you can hear the fan turn up but still quieter than my wii u im amazed at how amazingly smooth gameplay is for shadow of the tomb raider looks amazing no frame stuttering at all and pro is super qiuet during hours of 4k gameplay i upgraded to pro at just the right time

I've wanted to say this for a while now, so here it goes: While you guys are praised for your insightful tech analyses and your overall expertise (rightfully so), can I just say thank you for being ever so ELOQUENT. It really helps get ideas across and make interesting points. This isn't just another youtube channel with pointless rambling, this is quality content with tons of work behind it and preparing HOW you want to talk about something is surely part of it.

The hotter the exhaust the more heat is being removed from inside the system. They're probably using better thermal paste, a bigger heatsink or both. The reason why the Xbox one is so quiet is because it has a massive heatsink.
