PS4 Pro Fan Noise Fix - Detailed Cleaning Tutorial

  • The PS4 Pro is notorious for getting extremely loud during stress. The fan sounds like its a plane taking off! In this video, I show you how to reduce that sound by ensuring that the fan is completely cleaned thoroughly and properly. This helps by reducing the amount of rpm it needs to be at to get the same kind of circulation over the heatsink.

      One issue I have found in your video, you didn't completely reassemble the PRO as you claimed, the front corner under the Sony logo was not clipped down properly, just a minor thing but I think worth pointing out for future vids.

    FOR ANYBODY WHO WAS IN MY EXACT SAME POSITION, take the top cover of the ps4 off and check with a light in the side of the fan closest to the shiny metal plate. Clean the dust out from there and the ps4 will run silently. No need to replace the thermal paste and take your whole console apart.

    a bit late but heres a lil tip for you too cautious people out there.
    Follow steps until cleaning the fan.
    Set the ps4 upside down(fan facing the ground) on something thats higher or equal to your height(mines on my cupboard with counter weight) with the fan showing or not covered.
    Clean walls of the actual fan part with ear buds(i wet mine with my own saliva, broke style)
    Get toothpicks and a bit of toilet paper and i mean a bit, literally fingernail size, double that up and wrap it around the toothpick, wet your finger with saliva and "glue" the toilet paper closed and you can pick between the very close parts that the ear bud cant reach.
    (Reason for ps4 being upside down is when you accidentally flick dust, it falls to the ground instead of back into ps4.
    peeps probably wont read this but it helped me. Cheers

    For the people that want the noise to be more down you have ti clean the vent ( heat sync) behind the fan you can see it through the fan it gets clogged and then it gets really hot so by cleaning the vent it helps with over heating and noise ( alot of parts you have to take out for that tho)😪

      If you can’t get subtitles, probably the most important thing he says is to not use a compressed air keyboard cleaner because it can blow the dust into the system and cause it to malfunction; don’t use anything abrasive; use a micro fiber cloth and Q-tips with a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol; don’t use a vacuum, at all; don’t use water.

    Cleaning it can help. Changing the thermal paste can help just as much (often more).
    Yet, some Pros have a fan that's naturally loud. It's either Nydek or another brand and they were mostly used in the early Pros. In the case of those you literally have to replace it to get rid of the insanely loud noise, if you have it. You simply buy the other fan model on Ebay and replace yours (both are identical in shape but not quality, obviously).
    Better yet and for the adventurous, you can mod the console with another slow moving fan that cools the APU and 8gb memory modules for very silent use. It can be done for about $50 and a bit of work.
    *Even crazier* is the passive cooling option. I've seen it done on a base PS4 but not Pro. Anyway, it's changing the case completely to a custom case that's more or less a giant heat sink. A guy in Denmark (iirc) makes beautiful passive cases for his consoles and made one for his PS4. Totally silent. I want one.

    It’s annoying cos on games like mk11 or warzone in the character selection menu or lobby it still becomes loud but just not like it used to. So this made a minor improvement.
    How did you manage to clean all that dust inbetween the gaps of the fan completely?

    Best cheap cleaning tool I use is a dollar store makeup brush. Great for vents & easy to clean afterwards. If you give the underside of covers & fan blades a light coat of Armor All dust retention will be minimized. Use Q tip to coat blades with ArmAl. Retention tabs can use dab as well. Ive done this for years & works great.

I recommend you people to clean it following this video's instructions.

    My PS4 Pro started sounding like a jet recently while playing ESO. I would get a blue screen telling me my device is overheating & to shut it off. I think I have had it for about eight months. I followed this tutorial and popped it open and the fan s almost spotless. Other than some light dusting on the inside cover there’s nothing really for me to clean. What else should I look for?

    • @colonelradec5956
      @colonelradec5956 3 роки тому

      mine did that and i hit the fan with wd 40 lollll i would not recommend this but my fan i think was not spinning at all.
      i tried to spin it by finger and it was barely moving. then i spent like an hour attempting to get even just a few drops into the core or center.
      wd40 is not a lube realy but can clean stuff. wd40 kinda sucks in general but desperate times.
      anyways long story short it did get my fan spinning and not just that but i think up to full speed.
      i tried to angle the straw under the center of the fan then hit it in mist form from the top a few times.
      now when i spin it by finger it keeps spinning for a good amount of time.
      i know wd40 is not great long term on most things but they do make special electronics contact cleaner that is safe on electronics and supposedly cleans pretty good.
      that might be the best bet.
      i just did this a couple days ago so longterm???? might end up killing the ps4 lol who knows.
      alls i know is it wasnt running at all before due to overheat brought on by the fan not running. and now its running seemingly fine.
      ps4s warm but not lava hot.

  • @CrucialP
    @CrucialP 4 роки тому +12

    LEGEND! This worked for me! I'm so relieved, I mean I can still hear the fan at high load, but it's nowhere near jet engine loud like it was before
    UPDATE: 4 days later, back to jet engine. I think it's luck of the draw, there are good builds and bad builds, because it's definitely not a dust build up issue. My PS4 Pro originally didn't even have half as much dust as the video. Plus I did a complete dissemble and clean too.
    This made me clean my PS4 Pro, which i should be doing so at least I can be thankful for that

    • @maurotarozzo4787
      @maurotarozzo4787 4 роки тому +2

      I have never actually done this on a ps4 pro, since mine is quite silent even after one year and a half of service, but on my old xbox 360 I had a noise and overheating problem. I opened it and cleaned the dust and it actually fixed the overheating but the fan was always at the maximum speed. At the end I opened it again and replaced the thermal paste that was completely dry and now... well it's still a jet engine like every xbox 360 before slim models but the noise is reduced to bearable levels.
      Long story short your problem might be the thermal paste and not the dust, if you're confident in disassembling your ps4 completely it might be worth to replace it.

  • @allanalbert9364
    @allanalbert9364 6 років тому +6

    I don't start to bash your video, but theres one thing more. Dust will be blown to ps4 radiator, what is front of the fan (correct me if I'm wrong). So it is a little change to blow that dust out back of PS4 - dust would be go out from fan. Overall it is nice to see those kind of videos that people show how to take care of systems :)

    Unfortunately they are loud out of the box. Cleaning the fan won't fix it. People have different sensitivity to noise. My Pros drove me batshit crazy but I live in FL ambient room temp is higher and I play in a quiet room. That's why some say theirs is silent and others jet engine. I've had 3 different OG ps4 and two Pros. The fan screamed on them all

    • @mathewhastings9485
      @mathewhastings9485 6 років тому

      Cleaning your fan is just a preference to me, depending on the load is how loud that fan will be, I can play Mafia three and MLB 18 in 4k and it doesn't scream, it will for just a bit when you start up God of War or Detroit, but then it calms down. People have to realize that it's a computer and the bigger the CPU load on a PC and the faster the fan spins, it's just how it is.

    • @brettberry9846
      @brettberry9846 6 років тому +1

      @@mathewhastings9485 I get that. Nothing wrong with keeping it clean I just think the fan design is poor. Not that I'm a fanboy for xbox but on top of my pro I have a One X and previously had a OG one and they are dead silent under load on anything. They both run 120mm fans so more air less rotation. I think but am not 100% that the ps4 and pro fans are 80 mm which spin faster (louder) when needing to move more air. Some AMD gpus use the same design a vortex fan if you will and those cards are loud too. I know it's not all the time and it ramps up in certain situations but it's bothersome for me. That's just me though.

    I only used a bunch of q tips and it made a significant difference. I'm gonna get some of those other materials and make a more thorough clean but I appreciate it bro. This video was useful.

    Nice video. I have not cleaned up my PS4Pro yet, but I will try. I noticed that with NBA 2K the console has allways made loud noice

    Excellent video man. I was holding off on trying to open mine because of how difficult it was to get into the og PS4. So much easier to clean the pro. Thx again man.

    Its funny how ppl say dont use a vacuum cleaner on the ps4 but recently i used one on my bros base ps4 because it kept overheating i used it on the sides and back of the console and ever since then it hasn't overheated and the fan sounds quiter so it doesn't matter what u use anything with a suction can clear dust from a console
