PlayStation 4 Pro CUH-7200 Review: The Quietest - And Best - Pro Yet?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- 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...
Lol
I'll wait for the pro slim. hope it gets done though
lol this is like swapping a gtx 1080 for rtx 2070 but without RT
I did it. Couldnt stand the noise when i am playing at night and in the weekends. I really dont like to disturb the neighbours. They are a bit old and grumpy
@@piraat070 did you got a good deal for swapping it out? or how did it go? where did you trade it?
Great video, I specifically bought this version after seeing your video as I've wanted one for VR and jumped in (two years ago). Back here now hopefully to establish how much power this model uses during gameplay.
Hello. How about the sound, fixed in your version?
@@discombobulatedl Oh it's perfect. I don't notice a thing (when playing non-VR games of course). That's with the console sat flat also (not standing vertically). I hear that noise can generally depend on how intensive a game is that you're playing however. Also, I forgot to say, that's in 4K, HDR mode with the most intensive colour output settings and boost-mode applied.
Aw brill, I bought a machine for RDR 2 last week and had no idea I'd picked up a new model, thanks for the info!
The figure 8 power supply version is used on the original PS4s in certain regions as well. Both my original and revised standard PS4s have this.
It looks good, but good enough to recommend as an upgrade for a Slim owner playing on 1080p?
Definitely not worth it
I have a 7100 and noticed spiderman really pushing the system to kick up the fans, annoyed i took the console apart, removed old paste, used liquid metal, and its much quieter now. Did the same for the original first gen PS3 i have and same thing, fans never go above 30% and temps stay at a toasty 70C (PS3 Cell is rated at 85C).
I have the Xbox one x and love it. The console is super quiet and the games look a lot better than the s. Resident evil 2 was night and day. I got rid of my original ps4 due to insane fan noise. It just felt cheap and was gonna break. The fan was so loud I had to turn the tv volume up a lot.
I just ordered the PS4 pro bundle with red dead 2. I hope it’s quieter and better built than the original pro. I just want a semi quiet console. I’m also gonna leave it in the open. No obstructions anywhere.
You guys think there will someday be a PS4 Pro Slim or something way down the line?
funny how my ps4 pro box calls it 'Jet Black'

Your a champ
Thanks
ty dude!
So much blabbing just to make a minor point.
not all heroes wear cape
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.
The problem it's fixed in the versions of 7200, 7215, 7216?
@@discombobulatedl Yes
I just did the same...I found the Last of us 2 special edition pro for only 375
You should've just waited for the PS5
@@ESFDragxnFistEntertainment with how things have been with scalpers and bots, I'm thinking about giving up and waiting it out a year or so and nab an xb1x and/or ps4 pro to play exclusives I've missed over the years, I can always sell it off later for most of the cost recouped. I've all but given up hope now especially since bitcoin shot up of ever getting a new PC GPU in the foreseeable future... 5+ year old GPU are costing more than their MSRP was, some doubling in price, it's absurd.
5:35 introducing the PlayStation 5.
This is actually what it's going to look like
Black Parade The leak is not official but it would make sense
@@stanmarsh8032 lmao no it didnt
@@BlackParade01 no❤️
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.
I bet cooler temps will help it last longer
Get a PC bruh.
Why would it break down lol? Its not a known thing whatsoever so its a bizarre thing to say.
Yep, same here.
It's definitely really noisy compared to my Noctua cooled PC, but I find it both quieter than my PS3 SuperSlim and not really bothersome while using headphones.
I understand but two things here. How technically will PS5 be? Tech hasnt advanced in gaming by that much.
Also time wise, you still have plenty of life for a new pro. If a PS5 released in 2020, devs will need at least two more years to figure out how to bring the best out of Sony's architecture. So games will still release for old gens at a nice rate
Finally, the FULL FAT PS4 Pro experience

@@TheNeighborNicky thats what richard says a bunch of times in his videos
Comment section is noisy again.
and here we are...
Comment section needs a revision too. Sometimes it starts heating up for no particular reason
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.
didnt know the ps4 pro was a crip 😂...cuh
Do you hear that?
It’s a bunch of sad people who need to validate their purchases in a UA-cam comments section!
Benamax - Pardon?
*I can't hear atm playing RDR2 on my Pro*
Well, have fun with that! But you’re literally proving my point.
Ah harkens back to the early days of UA-cam when people could actually make video replies.
Do you hear that? Yes, it is the PS4 fan noise.
Go on...
@@Benamax Do you hear that ?
People who care about what other people purchase.
lol
I dont need to validate any purchase to random users I dont know/nor will ever meet.
Lol I'm 38 years old, and I've been gaming almost 3 decades...I own the PS4 Pro (the most recent model...b/c uh it was the most recent). I also own a Switch and Xbox One X..and PC (Asus desktop) and Phone (Samsung)...and last gen Wii U & New 2DS XL....a variety of devices...console/handheld/PC...basically everything but VR.
Why would anyone care though ? why does there have to be "buyers remorse" or "defending my purchases" ? I like what I like
hell does it matter to you ? lol
I'm just confused by the younger-social-media-gaming-toxicity. Hardware debates, spec wars, comparing devices like...chubby teenagers on a playground full of mulch and swing-sets..."my leapfrog is more powerful then your leapfrog" lol....in the end we own the same shit...these are toys, expensive & electronic, but toys nonetheless.
PC is diff, its a workstation as well. But you get the drift.
Own-whatever-you-want, or...own-them-all - play whatever you want.
If I want a PS4 Exclusive..of the more then-20 + out there...well I can have that..if its a multi-plat that runs better/more optimal on Xbox One X...well I can have that, if its a Switch or 3DS title...exclusive or port...indie or AAA doesn't matter, digital or physical - or a 1st party Nintendo franchise title...I can have that as well...and PC (Steam & Blizz launcher) can have that as well..just makes more sense to me. Have my cake...and eat it too kinda thing.
But in the years n years I've been gaming I've never felt bad about anything I've purchased, toys-to-waste-time-a-hobby.
I'm sure you own atleast ONE of those devices...or more. lol
Its like on facebook, gaming groups - all the debates x1x vs ps4 pro....ppl going back n fowarth w pros and cons...I'm like "yea I'll just take both" lol I'll wait...never pre-order, never day 1 anything...buy them 2 years down the road...I never owned an Original PS4/PS4 Slim or Xbox One/One S....so this year (2018) both devices are the current models & newest. Even switch is only 7-8 months old.
I like them all. For varying reasons.
DIdnt even know they were improving these. This explains my time as a Cowboy sounding like a jet engine.
If you have a Pro, consider playing in 1080p On the fake 4k the PS4 pro is loud as fuck, but on 1080p its is really acceptable and almost silent at times.
Hardly call just running the fan slower and hotter an improvement. Get ready for more YLoDs long term.
It seems like the improvements to noise are largely due to less aggressive fan cooling, accepting higher temperatures for lower noise output. That raises the question of what exactly is Sony is doing with the model revisions. I seem to recall them making some changes to the heatsink mounting system and there's the power supply revision in this latest one, but that's about it that I've seen.
@@mrblonde609 Spend 2k on an 4k OLED to play games in 1080p yeah that makes sense.
@@mrblonde609 the Pro is always loud whatever the resolution lol
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.
How do you do that ?
Richard's shirt blends in so well with the chair, I just see a talking face on a chair 😂🤣
LOL nice catch.
For a moment I couldn't see him
😄
As I am going to be buying a PS4 Pro in the next month or so, this video was very helpful. Cheers from Australia 🐨
Another difference is the I/O port labels are located underneath the ports, whereas the 7100 series and less has the labels above.
My launch ps4pro was a 747 spooling up before takeoff. I now have a glacial white one. Much quieter
I put Liquid Metal on my launch Pro, and removed both internal bottom metal plates and it still gets loud. It does run really cool though.
I picked up the Glacier White as well, only after some time did I realize it was a new revision of the hardware (CUH-7108). And it’s a “soft” limited edition one if you will :)
i wish the video included sound demos and frames per second stats comparing the three revisions. if the 7100 (translucent blue one) receives less power, maybe the cpu/gpu is throttling or doesn't reach turbo just as much? maybe it's quieter than the launch pro because essentially it's underclocked?
speedy I know what you went through. I still have my launch ps4. It will fly off if i’d throw it outside my window.
My Destiny 2 Glacier White sounds like a jet engine
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 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).
don't know why. I enjoy to listen the fan sound(it's like it worth every dollar I spent on this). am I sick?😂
Yeah. :P
Aye nah fam, I like my PS4 Pro's fan sounds too lol 😂😂
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.
It looked like he was showing system temps aiming at the top cover, that doesnt show true system temps.
The fan noise is not quite as annoying as the coil whine with certain games at certain resolutions and detail settings. It sounds like angry bees trapped in an empty soda can. It's bad enough that we have to put up with this from various expensive high-end GPUs in an otherwise silent PC. Is it that difficult to source properly dampened inductor coils?
I have no coilwhine at all, it's just silent what ever I throw at it. (7216b)
Just so you guys know, it’s WAY quieter! Just picked up the new revisioned model and it’s much much quieter, and I put it through the test, RD2, The Show 19, Star Wars .... Never gets loud, just a normal quiet fan noise, much improved!
After a year is it still quite??
What about overheating?
@@mikuchuuu … Yes, it’s still better than the older one I had … Might make a little more fan noise now, but still nothing like my first one … I’m hearing the PS5 are silent, I can’t get my hands on one though …
@@drewmow …. No overheating issues …
@@funkyflights they might get louder overtime idk
Hotter exhaust temps is a good thing, as it means it's removing more heat from the source. Let's not confuse people.
tommyzorera Ya as long it has space for the air come out it’s fine.
except the machine itself is measuring hotter inside too, therefore this model appears to be removing less heat than the original. they have the same chips so whats actually happening, is the heat is just building up more internally and coming out hotter. part of why its quieter, the fan is moving less cfm through the console(cubic feet per minute of air).... not that i think its a problem. sony obviously concluded the machine can take some extra degrees in trade off for less decibels...
LMAO that`s not how it works genius...warmer exhaust air means the whole thing is running hotter on the inside compared to previous model.
When your dBs are the same as your temps :-P
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.
If I go into a store for Black Friday, will I find this model? How would I know which version it is, is it on the box?
@@zaxypax Yes it is in small print on the box. Bottom left corner if you're looking at the front. It's also on the top, bottom, and the left side. Mine has a promo for Black Ops 4, Spider-Man, Days Gone, and Red Dead on the back. Full model number is CUH-7215B
@@arbiter- Thanks! I'll try to get this version on Black Friday if I can :>. If not, I'll have to make do with the noise lol.
yea same with mine which i got back in September. can confirm it's quiet
@@nyjay Thank you so much! I'll try to make sure it's that version :>.
I still have my original day one PS4... 💪
Lol same
running hotter while being quieter seems to me like less spinning speed of that fan
Marvin Heyne Either way it’s good it has less noise.
Emma Madison That depends where you keeping the console carpet or not having space for the vents will trap heat inside regardless which model it is.
It's a good improvement, but not only do I think that I got a "good version" of the launch PS4 Pro as even when listening to it, it never got THAT annoying. But on top of that I use headphones for playing games, always. So I don't hear the fan noise at all. Come summer I'd like my cooler launch PS4 Pro over a newer model I guess. :)
My launch is not too noisy either. Certainly quieter than my OG ps4. Guess I lucked out.
@@zybch It's possible you might have just got lucky and binned a more efficient/lower temperature CPU. It's common for there to be some variation even in the same production line with some producing more heat then others.
I'm in Asia Got CUH-7106 and it's Quietest Ever TBH
Have the CUH-7215B since April 2019 and is still very silent. Great console that's been used many hours daily through all the pandemic.
Really? I have that model but when i play certain games the noise of the fan gets really annoying
Just bought a 7215 today fingers crossed 🤞
Switch to ssd
I've just got the Playstation 4 Pro CUH 7216B 💙
Is it good bro tell me the truth i wanna buy one pls
Running quieter also means its running hotter, which means reduced lifespan. I started using a laptop cooling pad under my PS4 Pro and now it almost never ramps up the fan. I did the same thing with my Xbox One X, which is already way quieter than the PS4 Pro, but now it runs even quieter too. You dont need to run out and buy this new PS4 Pro to get a quieter system, just increase the airflow around the system and make sure to clean out the fan once in a while
Are more out there which are annoyed by the coil whining sound of the ps4 7216 version?
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.
His console is brand new, the same test after 200 or 300 hours could show another results or an RMA...
and it has a bigger quieter fan.
@@titouiban8467 They would be using industrial grade thermal paste which has an endurance of several years.
@@TheStriker0525 any proofs ?
@@titouiban8467 Proof is precedence. I'm talking industry standards here. If you want official confirmation get on the line with Sony and pray an actual engineer will answer your questions.
Prime Example of stretching 2 mins video into 12 mins
I still have my launch PS4 Pro and after about two years the fan was getting so loud I changed the thermal paste and it was immediately quiet again like when I first bought it. Just change the thermal paste!! Don't go and buy another one!!
@Patrick spirithealer It's not rocket science...
Picked up a CUH-7200 model recently for 4k games and I don't find it quieter at all, in fact from my experience it's just as noisy as the first model, constantly goes off like a jet engine on Genshin impact & RDR2..so i opened it up to see if dust build up might be the cause but no there was hardly any dust in the fan or the heat sink. People are over exaggerating about it being quieter so it gets hotter for no reason at all as it makes a bitter difference with the fan noise.
I agree the 7200 is nice but even after clearing the fan when you get those peak visual scenes in games like Spider-Man, God of War and Dark Souls 3 you will hear it but... I've sort of grown accustomed to it myself. I bought a 7100B most recently and I'm interested to know if any difference will be apparent.
@@Akechi_The_Phantom_Detective
My friend, did you make the comparison, which model is more effective...??
My guess is that they reduced fan speed curve resulting in less noise, less power consumption (maybe not), but that increased the heat due to less fan power.
*Old model: More speed = Cooler & Noisy*
*New model: Less speed = Warmer & Quiet*
I think that the newest model will be the most desirable in the future for retro gamers
My ps4 Pro fans run at full speed 100 percent of the time in BO4
must be horrible
Because BO4 is a shitty unoptimized Gamez running on an old engine that has been bloated throughout the years and looks bad too
@@alvzcizzler looks great on X1X and is almost dead silent
@@vandammage1747 nice damage control crapgamer😂
NOBODY GIVE A .... ABOUT BUGBOX DONE L🤗
You should maybe clean the fan out. Specifically if there is a lot of dust in the environment the console stands.
Never hear the fan, I always use headphones.
CUH - 7216b (RDR2 bundle) is very silent in every games. Temperature is colder than previous Pro version. But 7216b = coil whine... It's not loud but coil whine is in 90% consoles.
Got it in the Red Dead bundle and it really is super quiet. During games without Pro patches, it even seems to barely even get warm at all
I have the the launch model. Holy hit is it loud when i play bo4. Even with headphones i hear it
Mine to on BO4. My friends online even hear it! 😕
That sucks.
Does your pro shutdown when starting up modern warfare warzone? Happened to me 3 times in a row ffs
Sweet! This is the exact model I bought last week... luck of the draw I suppose 👍
Ger - Getting mine in white so I hope it’s true and it’s a 7200
I'm currently on my forth ps4 pro CUH-7216B with severe Coil Whine. The sound is unbearable and kicks in on all kinds of games I have been throwing at it. Taking this one back to the shop as well and proclaiming loudly that Sony obviously do not care for catching this type of issue during quality control. Stay away from purchasing PS4 Pros until Sony have greatly improved their efforts in producing these units. If I manage to bring home four PS4 Pros in a row, all with this issue (even from different shops) it must count as a "default" feature of the unit. Digital Foundry should update this review to reflect this.
You must not game on PC then because any gaming PC is gonna be much louder than any PS4 Pro can get when you combine the noise of hard drives and fans unless you are spending a lot of money on SSD and on fans that run quiet. Any fan noise from PS4 Pros can be mitigated by using head or earphones and anyone who says otherwise is lying because headphones can be turned up to where they will cause hearing damage. Not to mention you can get noise canceling headphones.
I've had mine since November 2016 and mine isn't like that lmao
I think you have ocd lol or just moaning over nothing on mine the fan speeds up on some games then starts to slow down
I wish i watched this before going out and purchasing my very own fighter jet.
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.
Anyone else experiencing bad coil whine on the 7216 model?
When there's a low power consumption and higher temperatures I call that thermal throttling. Have you tested for drops in the frame rates ?
My PS4 slim is silent in terms of fan noise but it has terrible coil whine. I sent it in to get it fixed.
Thanks guys at @DigitalFoundary .. I'm gonna wait to see if the do a death stranding limited edition ps4pro then make a purches
Damn, you fucking called it! I am getting that Edition too.
Why is higher temperature surprising if processor and wattage stayed the same and fans spin quieter?
Louder fans - more air moved, cooler console.
Couldn't sony just patch existing consoles to the new fan profile? guess it's risky.
Improved fans moving more with less noise
Better exhaust for air flow
CPU/GPU binning....All of these methods can allow for better cooling with less noise.
Well, actually good quality fans can be both quiet and powerful. My PC is very quiet and does not get hot, because I was careful choosing which fans to put it in.
Not really.
You can have a higher quality fan cool better while spinning slower than a lower quality fan
I just bought one like 2 weeks ago and I must say its rather quiet and never really runs hot even playing the last of us 2 for ten hours straight. I checked and it is indeed a cuh- 7215b
Haha, my PS3 fat runs even quieter. I can't even hear it when playing games on it, i'm sitting about 1 meter away from it
Honestly, I'd rather have a noisy system that's less prone to overheating than a quiet system that is more prone to overheating. There are ways you can mitigate the noise problem, mainly by just wearing headphones.
Could the higher exhaust temps of the 7200 be contributed to a more efficient heat transfer? More heat is being pulled away from the hardware.
Would also like to add, I've never been bothered by the "noise" of the cooling fan. On the occasion I noticed it, I would just realize it needed the extra umph from the fan to cool the system. I'm OK with that.
I'm rocking a launch Pro and the sound isn't a problem for me, although there are times that it could get frustrating for some. Regardless it's very silent most of the time and makes little noise compared to the base PS4
Shhh shhh.... Listen listen....do u hear that?...no???
Its my one x running rdr2 in 4k 😊
We got no loading rdr2 on ps5 8k upscaled up your one X butt.
wtf is an 'x-box'?
@@writingonthewall3326 a big box with nothing inside
My conclusion from this video is, the louder the system the cooler it is. Cooler system means better reliability. I'd take louder system over hotter one any time.
I think i have a launch ps4 pro. I cleaned mine and took off the long skinny back plate. Taking off the back plate deff made a difference, better flow of the heat. Will get things plugged into the back hotter but i have seen no problems
Thank you for choosing sony airlines !! Hope you would fly with us again.
I was hypnotised by the vision of a "pro" on top of another "pro" that's a double sized big Mac over there.
I got an OG Ps4, and with RDR2 its like playing next to a jetplane.
Same :/
fps drops hard in cities especially in daytime...
@@officertenpenny4505 it didn't drop when I was early in the game in Valentine idk why it drops later, it could be more NPCs which requires high CPU power
I’m just going to swap out the louder Delta fan in my 7100 to the quieter Nidec fan (EBay) that’s in the 7200, change the thermal paste, and thermal pads. I should get better temps, and less fan noise.
11:08 Comparison summary
I've been playing Red Dead 2 a few hours a day on the new console, and so far it hasn't made a peep. It has yet to kick into overdrive, or even become noticeable! It gets hot as balls during gameplay, but the fan is a low thrum instead of a high whine. I'm very happy since it replaced my original launch PS4 that sounds like a jet engine.
I got one of the "revision" versions (7100) a few months ago.. It sounds like a damn hair dryer.
You're always very in depth in your videos so i thought you where gonna address it, but you didn't so i guess you just don't know how decibels work. For every 10 decibel the sound doubles, so 55 to 48 doesn't sound like much but its a very huge difference in sound.
I have a launch day PS4 Pro and it's never really been what I call noisy. It is somewhat audible at times but only when you are close to it. It's definitely louder than my Xbox One X but not really a nuisance
Can confirm. I got the Red Dead 2 PRO bundle and was expecting at least as much fan noise as my base PS4. Not only is it whisper quiet after hours of play, but remains cool.
I have a launch Pro and i have never had a noise issue, its been super quiet for the 1.5 years i have had it.
Edit: also with sonys track record of console burn out from over heating i will take a cooler console every day of the week.
Sony doen't really have a track record concerning overheating. Microsoft does though.
@@kraenk12 never owned an OG ps4 or first gen ps3 eh ?
@@chaosconspectus Never heard of anything concerning overheating on PS4. Outside sensationalising fanboys maybe. Loud? sure. Overheating? no.
Had launch PS4, PS4 Pro, & Vita & REPORTING NO OVERHEATING :))))))))
My PS4 bought in 2015 gets sooooo hot I need to clean out the fans I guess. Anyone know what happens if it overheats?
I play with headphones and coincidentally never heard my PS4 make a noise. =)
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
I have a launch Pro and it’s fine. I hear the fans but they are not so overly loud that it becomes distracting when playing a game. I don’t think it’s worth upgrading from a 7000 to 7200 version.
Seconded. I slapped an SSD in my launch Pro and its all I need for years. I actually promised myself I wouldn't even buy a PS5 for at least 3 years after launch so that I can get all the PS5 Pro / PS5 Slim nonesense out of the way lol
So the fan is weaker so not as loud but the system may overheat?
Pretty much and this does happen from time to time in my case in Dark Souls Remastered, the stress point is the Sif boss fight. The 7200 for me will crash with a heat warning if you don't skip the cutscene before the boss fight.
Is it just me or am I hearing a little bit of Elmer Fudd in his voice?
Nintendo announces a revision the entire gaming world loses their mind.
Sony stealthy drops 2 revisions and noone notices.
Its just that the Nintendo one was leaked. Its going to be changed just as the pro revisions. Small revisions that aren't even THAT noticible.
Nintendo fanboys are hoping it's a completely new switch. Due to how weak the current one is lol.
That's why you hear so much about it.
Console manufacturers try to suggest consistency along their whole product line. They don't want you to see how they constantly renew the design. Appearance over performance.
I feel that I was deceived :(
I have the 7215B model.
I got it on October 4th, 2018 from Gamestop just before the Red Dead Redemption II Bundle was released.
The store clerk mentioned that it was recently shipped from Sony. I found it difficult to find a Pro as most video game retailers were SOLD OUT....
This is an upgrade from My PS3 Super Slim. I can confirm that this is a very POWERFUL and QUIET unit.
Enjoying it !
Thank You for confirming that I bought this System at the right time after waiting so many years !! 👍
Just sold my used PS4 pro and got a used ps4 pro revision hopefully it was worth it.
Start wars Battlefront 2 I feel like the system is about to blow
9:02
That's normal. Higher output temperature = better cooling
It just means the new cooling system is dissipating more heat than the previous ones, hence, the hardware can run cooler and quieter.
My ps4 pro gives me a stiffy when I play GT Sport.
Burt Sampson Yeah Brother 😎👍🏽🎇🔥❤️😜💯
wouldnt that be confusing when going to shift gears?? 🤫
Ive got both xbox1x and ps4 pro and I don't see that much difference other than things load quicker on Xbox
on the xbox1x
the hotter the case and exhaust temps the better.. because the power consumption on all was approximately the same, the fact that more heat is seen on the case body and exhaust just means a lot less is staying in the chip, meaning it is actually running a lot cooler than the previous models.
cool exhaust means less heat transfer, more heat into the room means less heat in the machine.
Guys can you imagine when we'll get to the 7nm? Hopefully less power comsuption and noise but also a lot more graphic power!!!
Current gen is already impressive but...
Next gen is going to blow our mind!!!!
Absolutely...in terms of VR especially.
Lols a 7nm console.. keep dreaming. Maybe on the ps7. You want 7nm this decade get a pc
7nm? You mean 4 years away at least, they need to finish ripping of fanboys first.
Wouldn't you want your exhaust to be hotter? Meaning it's expelling more of the hot air, instead of keeping it inside?
Exactly... Some people should review some very basic thermodynamics...
Higher exhaust temperature doesn't necessarily mean more heat. If they didn't make any significant change in the heat conductance between the chip and the radiator, just reduced the fan speed to achieve lower noize level, then the heat is transfered by smaller amount of air which gets hotter obviously. If the thermal design is basically unchanged then hotter radiator means hotter operation for the chip.
The temperature of the exhaust is proportional to the temperature of the chipset (but not the same), you can't:
-Have a higher temperature on the exhaust than on the chipset
-Raise the exhaust temperature while lowering the chipset temperature
If the exhaust rises, the chipset too
@@SirDella " you can't: -Raise the exhaust temperature while lowering the chipset temperature" It's not exactly true. You can use better heat transfer solutions (better thermal paste or even liquid metal compounds, heatpipe+fins radiator instead of solid extruded heatsink) to reduce the overall heat resistance of the cooler system, therefore reduce the temperature difference between the chip and the radiator surface that contacts the air. Then lower airflow (means higher exhaust air temperature at the given amount of power dissipated) is sufficient to maintain the same core temperatures. Or you can use the same airflow as before, maintain same exhaus temps while reduce core temps. Or anything between the two means lower core temps but higher exhaust temps. But in this particular case I don't see any significant change in the cooler system. So they probably just reduced the fan speed to achieve lower noize level and either sacrificed some thermal headroom or used better thermal paste on this model.
@@peterkiss1204 absolutely true, I should have been more specific, thanks for the correction
Got the pro on launch day, it may sound like a jet engine but it is reliable af still works perfectly now
Slightly off-topic, but do you know how much power the PS VR (Rev. 2) processor unit draws when a PS4 is being used for flat games on a TV (VR headset turned off). As the processor unit has to power on and clearly generates heat, potentially it's fan may be rotating also.
Gaming monitor, Sony PlayStation 4, or Pro and a gaming headset and you are good to go.
Sony PlayStation💙💙💙💙
I like turtles
Lol
Why do you need a gaming monitor for the ps4? The FPS is capped at 60 and the latency can't be pushed too low. Even the cheapest monitors can meet these expectations. Gamer monitors tipically focus on the high refresh rate and low reaction time wich can't be utilized with a playstation. Your best interest is a good display panel with deep contrast and nice colors.
My friend told me that he uses his pro to heat up his room 🤣 and it sounds like a running microwave.
It's true, same here 😅
