      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

      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...

      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?

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

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.

    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.

The 1080p image on my TV is not much worse than native 4k and the gameplay is much smoother and satisfying as a result. It's definitely worth leaving true 4k gaming to those PC users who spend a ton of money on the latest 2080ti cards and monitors because quite frankly playing PS4 games on a 4k screen, even at 1080p, is amazing.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

Stay away from purchasing PS4 Pros until Sony have greatly improved their efforts in producing these units.

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.

    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've had the noise issue with the PlayStation 3 Slim and I held off on buying any type of PlayStation 4 until this one. - I know the 5 will be out in just over a year, but I don't want to spend a lot of money on a console with a limited list of games (as in exclusives, as I rather invest in a PC as I always have). - So I was happy to find out about the noise-reduction in the PS4 Pro and with it on sale I finally ordered it last weekend. I already own one game and have pre-ordered another, both being exclusives, so I'll need a system to be able to play them. It's the platform exclusivity in full working order, except that I'm a really late customer. - But otherwise I would've gone with a much lower priced new or refurbished one and modified it with liquid cooling. Around 45dBs is still significant, but if I put it away somewhere it will help make it acceptable. - Just too bad they didn't upgrade it and market it with an SSD... Something I'll still have to consider.

    Okay I’m a bit triggered, @9:00 is NOT an unexpected result, the reason the air from the fan is hotter is because the cooling is more efficient.

      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.

    • @SirDella
      @SirDella 6 років тому

      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

    • @peterkiss1204
      @peterkiss1204 6 років тому

      @@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.

Main problem of the console is the garbage thermal paste they use or maybe they don't apply enough thermal paste. You should also use a dust cover and dust filters. Otherwise your console will get dusty and noisy because the consoles doesn't even have a cheap ass dust filter and all your dust will be in the heatsink.

    UA-cam PS4Pro mods get your PS4Pro running cooler and quieter than any other method as expensive as buying a new Pro, if you are one of the many people out there who don't mind doing a bit of modifying your console, I'd highly suggest you look it up on YT, most videos are pretty much the same, but they'll give you advice on what fans are best, and what to do physically to your console without damaging it.

    Interesting fact : my friend's launch pro sounds quieter than the 7115b one I bought 2 months ago (and returned)

    Gaming monitor, Sony PlayStation 4, or Pro and a gaming headset and you are good to go.

      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.

    I'm 6 years late, but on the thermal testing the higher exhaust temperatures of the newer models should be indicating that they're running *cooler* because they're more effective at removing heat, so higher exhaust temp is a good thing.
