I was just thinking - this is what the manufacturers should be making I had no idea until recently that the pro was almost unplayably noisy, I can cope with the slim but it can still get annoying at times for those who like silent running... I must admit that the slim and the pro are the nicest designed consoles of all time, most consoles being ugly af - the PS5 probably one of the worst - but this is the sh*t I want one but not sure if I can pull it off or be bothered to buy the parts.
Only you add fan noise to the PlayStation 4, it works well if you clean the diffuser with an original fan manufactured with a good thermal paste for 10 years
I just got my PS4 Pro. I'm glad i got it used and at a discount. I'm also disappointed with the thermals and the unstable picture. Glad to see i'm not alone. Don't know if i'll do it this way but thank you for sharing.
Great setup, currently doing a similar setup, already tried just the top fan and it has made a 100% improvement. I'm going to keep the original fan in use also, and block the side in take vents. I like your idea of the heatsinks, what product did you use to attach them.
I don’t really understand the logic on blocking the side vents, but I’ve seen others talk about it... the new fan will keep air flowing in to the system and out through the stock heatsink. The vents on sides don’t seem to affect that at all except to allow additional heat to escape. I put adhesive foam strips inside the case around the circle I cut for the top fan so that seals it in enough I think.
Thanks for the reply, sorry I didn't see the list at first. My idea for blocking the ports on the side is to pressurise the system using the fans. This way (in theory) the clean air will come in, circulate and push the hot air out of the rear with more force. As you stated, they are redundant now the fans have taken over.
I did the Same thing today to mine And I got to say that I am impressed Temps are fine and the volume is so much nicer than the og fan from the console .
Idk... I play lot of Snowrunner nowadays, and my Ps4 Pro was pretty loud (except when I opened the Map). So I just disassembled, changed CPU pasta, cleaned everything from dust. Now it's almost soundless.... Same with new games, like Dying Light 2. It has good cooling. Keep it clean, take care of your Console, that't the cheapest way to make it last for a long time. Maintenance!!!
Unfortunately in my experience the noise will ramp up eventually. There will be a noise spike in about three months then will gradually get louder and noisier until you repaste again. I've repasted my console (and others) multiple times with different pastes and methods.
Haha I had to fix my friend's son's PS4 for jet planes noises. Was literally twice as quiet as this BEFORE repair. This setup is only feasible with a BT antenna mod as well. So you could hide it in a closet out of hearing range.
Great work! The cooling on these units stinks and the way it cracks performance is sad. If you don't mind me asking: 1-Why did you go with 140 and a 120 instead of 2x140mm or 2x120mm fans? 2-With both fans running off the same circuit, isn't there a risk of burning out the circuit due to resistance or draw? Don't know what the specs of the original fan were though. 3-What was the room temp when running the test or do you know what was the non-modded temp just to have a baseline.
JA EC A 120mm fan fits over the cavity for the stock fan on top perfectly. I could’ve used 140mm I suppose but it just wouldn’t be as efficient at pushing air through that space and then into the primary heatsink for the system. The 140mm fan on the bottom basically is just blowing air over/around the ram heatsinks and finding its way out of the bottom of the unit however it can, so I figured bigger was better.
JA EC Non modded temp is usually around 52 on these units, but I keep my system tucked away in a small hidden cubby hole I made for so it was over heating constantly. I also leave it always on.
JA EC The system controls the fan speeds using voltage based on how hot the system gets. I have both fans plugged into that same connector so it’s controlling both fans that way. I am assuming they are not running at a full 3000 RPMs. I have never heard them speed up, which I assume is because the system has never determined that it was necessary to cool the unit down more than it already does on its lowest voltage. The stock fan would constantly speed up or slow down and it was very annoying
Now the power supply losing power wattage for motherboard it's depends game so for some game you don't have a much energy you need another power supply for that modification
Hey man, nice job. I’m doing a similar project to my jailbroken PS4. Wanted to ask what clips did you use for the grills? I’m wondering wether you used some push clips or some form of screws.
Hey just wanted to tell you great job by the way I'm figuring out how to cool down the PS4 I love it it inspired me I have ordered all the parts and I would love to get in contact with you and talk with you on guiding me through this process
Also I have watched your video numerous times I'm trying to figure out on what I need to do it just don't show enough for me for me on what to doI wish you would have made a video on the process of your project
Hey bro just wanted to let you know that I finally got all the parts in went to hook them up and none of the fans are runningif you still got my number please hit me up and help me out would highly appreciate it
Nice setup, I did something similar. ? Is it possible to still use the Factory fan while the mini heatsinks are sticking up top? Or do I have to do like what u did?
The fan that I have placed on top is way more powerful than the blower that was inside the unit previously. Everything is essentially sealed off, so the air is still blowing through the the heatsink and then out the back vent like it is suppose to, only much faster/stronger/cooler than it ever was with the stock internal blower. I assure you, the APU is way cooler now. I did this modification because it was overheating, and it has never overheated since the modification and I don’t ever turn off my machine
I wanna say less noise believe me friend, I wanna play cod warzone and resident evil 2 remake and red dead redemption 2 without my ps4 pro screaming at me and keeping my mrs Up from nightshift and I have replaced my thermal paste and pads 2 times and it's only 4 years old lol she came from the room asking....what is that f%^@^ sound coming from 😱 told her where she said play another game right then and there I felt defeated....lol
Maybe your clamps to the apu have lost some of their tension. Try bending them a little back and see if that helps. What thermal paste are you using? Arctic silver is a must. I’m pretty sure I used an alternative and it didn’t work and switched back to arctic silver. How hot does it get in your room? Try keeping your room temp down as much as possible. Good luck
They both (suck in) air. The air from the top fan is funneled through the large stock heatsink for the processor and then that hot air is funneled straight out the back of the console. That’s how it’s made. The bottom fan simply sucks in air to cool the RAM and to some extent provide additional cooling for the entire unit on the bottom. The console is separated internally between top and bottom sides. If I was to make the bottom fan (blow out) air, then that air wouldn’t come from the top fan, it would have to be sucked in from the sides of the console.
Impressive! I also want to make a mod to my ps4 slim, but it is only the top cover. I want to make the hole for ventilation and place a pc fan with the grill like you, although my idea is to use it while I get the ps5 (I'm a video game console collector) I want to make the fan that I put work with USB and be removable, for the day I have my Ps5 put its original cover and save in my collection
Looks like it got out straight from a factory line buddy,but i got i question can i use the copper heatsinks on the original ps4 and how do you managed to make them stay there?
Glue is more permanent, the thermal paste is more temporary. You can use either one but I didn’t want a copper heatsink to accidentally fall into the fan blades or anything, so I used the glue.
The top and bottom are completely seperateted. Theres no air passing through the system from the top to the bottom so that would be pointless. The top fan sucks in air and pushes it directly into the main heatsink and out the vent on the back of the PS4. The bottom fan is sucking in air right under the heatsinks I’ve added to the ram. If I were to flip the top fan around or reverse it, the system would Overheat immediately.
Ok, but I don't understand why are both fans running on max RPM? With 120/140mm fans they only need to go around 300-500 RPM. Add some potentiometers to control RPM's. New XBX Series X will have only one 140mm fan and it will be enough to do a job.
EMK who said they are running at max? I doubt they could be running at max speed. The system controls the voltage to speed up or slow down the fans as needed based on the system temperature. When powering on system it starts at lowest voltage and goes up as needed. So far I’ve never heard or noticed it speed up because it stays cool. I bought and have the potentiometers for it, I just never felt like I needed to add them.
So this might be a lame question, but what method did you use attaching the Heatsinks to the ram chips and the other parts you put the smaller heatsinks on (the name escapes me at the moment)
Rubberduck645 It’s a reasonable question and nobody knows what they are called. I just call them semiconductors. I used thermal glue, so I’ll add it to the bottom of my item/supply list in the notes.
So i got the last two cables and connected it inside the Pro and they don't spin! Could the fan header on the board be broken? I don't have a base fan to test it since I tossed it ages ago.
LucasRomeroVA To be honest I had issues like that as well and someone else said they did as well I think some of the adapters don’t connect that well. I initially used an adapter and did get it to work sometimes but ended up splicing it together to the wires and plug I cut off the stock fan so the wires would make better contact
@@AmpSkillz thanks I own a ps4 slim, already drilled a hole in the case where the fan is , removed that silly shield in top of the stock fan and inserted an extra fan pushing air downwards to help airflow , used a be Quiet series fan for complete silence, is not enough it needs something stronger replaced with a noctua nf a15, now is better, that there's a major heat in the bottom owing to ggdr5 memories, already thought of making a hole underneath plastic and shielding and perhaps put it on top of one those notebook coolers that have fans, but I never draw power from the Ps4 always external voltages, really what a rubbish as always cooling system playstation put on their systems I remember ps3 same crap, so thin console with lots of heat inside
@@AmpSkillz one other possible solution for slim model is to drill an rectangle hole just in top of the heat sink making it expose to the open (plastic and metal shield) , and insert on top a 140 mm fan, which by its huge size can draw air both to the fan and heatsink at the same time, improving so much the air flow, my only concern is the psu, opening the heatsink will make the air flow on the back of the console or just to the bottom? I doubt the extreme heat from the heatsink helps cooling the psu somehow, but this solution can cool down the slim considerably and make wistle quiet.
Well I know what I'll be doing next year my ps4 pro is starting to roaring again even tho it's gonna be my 3rd time replacing thermal paste and pads😒 one question about the glue do we have to replace every now and then ? And looking at other videos mostly water cooling this is the best I said it's very near to water cooling temperatures and looks easy I cant wait to upgrade my ps4 pro playing Dbd and KF2 or any other 2020-2021 games make it scream
On the ps4 pro theres 3 pin's a few of them you have to order those parts he has in the description the Ebay is old, you might have to google and find it :)
When running cool they probably get more “consistent” fps. Soooooo meaning if max fps is 60 the fps will tend to stay around high 50’s to 60 instead of dropping to say 40fps and then going back up to low 50’s because of excess heat.
@@AmpSkillz I’m interested in doing this. What size screws did you use for the feet? Did you use a hand drill or table drill? Thank you for an informative video!
Hi, this is a good video and you are a good mechanic lol I have 3 questions and you are busy, so please reply whenever you have time: 1. Is that aluminum foil inside the console? What is it for? 2. Do the fans blow the machine or they sucked heat out of the machine? 3. If they blow air inside the machine, what about the dust?
1. It is aluminum foil tape. If/when you remove the stock fan You will need to block the bottom of that space to make sure air flows to/through the PS4s heatsink. I removed (cut off) the metal plate on one side of the stock fan and then used aluminum tape to fill in the holes, then I cut out space for the semi conductors heatsinks. Then I screwed that metal plate back into place without the stock fan. I added foil tape to my parts list. 2. They suck air into the PS4 which has vents to release heat. 3. I added the mesh to reduce dust, but dust is always a problem with any system that has fans no matter what you do even the stock PS4. You just need to keep an eye on it.
@@AmpSkillz thank you! I still hesitate to modify the hardcase. My wife will mad at me hahaha thanks anyway for your response, I'll add this video to my favorite in case I manage to talk to my wife about modifying the hardcase
even if it were possible, which it really isnt as they are soc`s. it would be a waste putting an rtx in a ps4 as the cpu would be a huge bottleneck, not to mention inadequate power supply and terrible thermals of the ps4 chassis . also you would have to be rewrite the ps4s os and then youd only get a single player experience since going online would probably brick it.
@@Hi-fh8ij You'd still need someone to produce a custom pcb, unless you have a multi billion dollar facility on hand to do it. Bottom line is it hasn't been done by anyone because it makes as much sense as trying to sail across the Pacific ocean in a bathtub 😂
It’s not as strong, the air pressure is lower and I keep my PS4 running non stop in a small space. I decided the industrial versions were better suited for continuous running.
Chris Morrison the baseline noise is a little louder, but it use to get really loud at times when it got hot and it doesn’t do anymore. My primary goal was keeping it from over heating but I’m happier with the sound as well
Yeah i built it to go inside a small hidden space with restricted airflow. Goal was keeping it cool in that space and it worked perfectly but definitely not an aesthetic improvement.

On the ps4 pro theres 3 pin's a few of them you have to order those parts he has in the description the Ebay is old, you might have to google and find it :)
Do you get more fps when running cool?
When running cool they probably get more “consistent” fps. Soooooo meaning if max fps is 60 the fps will tend to stay around high 50’s to 60 instead of dropping to say 40fps and then going back up to low 50’s because of excess heat.
Does the fan over the ram push air into the case or pull air out of the case?
Read the other comments, I answered this twice already
@@AmpSkillz I’m interested in doing this. What size screws did you use for the feet? Did you use a hand drill or table drill? Thank you for an informative video!
Can you tell me what pin on the motherboard gives out 12v power for the fan to work
That one
Brutal 😮
Does the ps4 pro start also if there's no connected fan in fan header?
You can tell me on the top you eliminate the fan and the thermal paste
Ohhhh so loud rhe fan !!! Want constantly cool ps4 pro and quiet ...
Why is not inside, there is the place no ??
Tchuss
How did you power the fans mate i want to do this to myps4 pro
Read video details everything is there
how load is your tv volume when playing on this ps4 ?
bro what size and what type heatsink does ram need?
Hi, this is a good video and you are a good mechanic lol I have 3 questions and you are busy, so please reply whenever you have time:
1. Is that aluminum foil inside the console? What is it for?
2. Do the fans blow the machine or they sucked heat out of the machine?
3. If they blow air inside the machine, what about the dust?
1. It is aluminum foil tape. If/when you remove the stock fan You will need to block the bottom of that space to make sure air flows to/through the PS4s heatsink. I removed (cut off) the metal plate on one side of the stock fan and then used aluminum tape to fill in the holes, then I cut out space for the semi conductors heatsinks. Then I screwed that metal plate back into place without the stock fan. I added foil tape to my parts list.
2. They suck air into the PS4 which has vents to release heat.
3. I added the mesh to reduce dust, but dust is always a problem with any system that has fans no matter what you do even the stock PS4. You just need to keep an eye on it.
@@AmpSkillz thank you! I still hesitate to modify the hardcase. My wife will mad at me hahaha thanks anyway for your response, I'll add this video to my favorite in case I manage to talk to my wife about modifying the hardcase
@@kisnupusnawan9470 dude you need permission from your wife? :makes whipping noise:
I love this
very good!!!
But now it sounds like a vacuum cleaner...
It’s in a dead silent room and the microphone amplifies sound. In real world it’s not anywhere near that bad, definitely not silent though
That's cool.
why not just watercool at that point
It's still loud though.
Noisy as hell ?
I wish I could do these things.
what did you hook the fan up to?
N04H I used a Y splitter and plugged them into the stock/built in power plug
All that for 30fps?
How to install fans to ps4 ?
Cool
always add 15-20*C or 25* when you use thermometer
Do you have an Instagram so I can talk to about modding ps4s? I reeeally want to mod mine to have Nvidia Geforce Rtx GPU or something
even if it were possible, which it really isnt as they are soc`s. it would be a waste putting an rtx in a ps4 as the cpu would be a huge bottleneck, not to mention inadequate power supply and terrible thermals of the ps4 chassis . also you would have to be rewrite the ps4s os and then youd only get a single player experience since going online would probably brick it.
@@neoto6 well I only play single player
@@Hi-fh8ij You'd still need someone to produce a custom pcb, unless you have a multi billion dollar facility on hand to do it. Bottom line is it hasn't been done by anyone because it makes as much sense as trying to sail across the Pacific ocean in a bathtub 😂
I have a noctua d15 Chrome cpu cooled
Im doin 3 speed twin on my with led
Lo ideal seria q el de arriba meta aire y el de abajo lo saqe
Should’ve use noctua nf a12x25
It’s not as strong, the air pressure is lower and I keep my PS4 running non stop in a small space. I decided the industrial versions were better suited for continuous running.
Not from the comparisons I’ve seen quieter overall and better static pressures
would you sell this service?
Does it make it quieter?
Chris Morrison the baseline noise is a little louder, but it use to get really loud at times when it got hot and it doesn’t do anymore. My primary goal was keeping it from over heating but I’m happier with the sound as well
@@AmpSkillz cool, do you have a tutorial?
That's so loud 😂
cuanta temperatura tiene?
Hello i sub and liked you deserved it
Todo corazón Te quedó muy bien 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯💯
We need tutorial
Doesn't get the Ps4 cooler
It's still gots the same C° degrees
now overclock it
What about noise ??? !!!!!
Good for the performance but man that's ugly
Yeah i built it to go inside a small hidden space with restricted airflow. Goal was keeping it cool in that space and it worked perfectly but definitely not an aesthetic improvement.
Poor ps4.... what the actual f**k have you done
