Thanks for the guide, it helped a ton. My model of Pro had an additional cover over the CPU bracket that yours seems not to. Screwed down with 8 small black screws. I cleaned the fan blades, blew out the heatsink, and replaced the thermal paste and my PS4 is running nearly silent now.
Your welcome. I know that one, I think it's the CUH-7200 Pro that has a metal cover over the CPU.You done great, I hope your PS4 will serve you well for years to come.
I did a thermal paste change on my PS4 slim and the processor seemed a bit smaller on mine. Also I used the dot technique on mine and applied very little thermal paste (did a glass test) and worked great. I would recommend doing a glass spread test for peace of mind (made me feel more confident while not overusing the paste. From what I have read the thermal paste is not conductive so there is no risk there. Great video!
Thanks for this step by step video. Just got my hands on the latest 7216 and it desperately needed a cleanup. Heatexchanger was clogged. Fan was filthy and just overal heavily dusty on every bits and parts. New paste and pads was needed. Also found two places where it looks like to have been water exposed. OR the manufacturing process uses flux? dunno, cleaned it anyway.
Your welcome, I'm glad I could help. It sounds that system needed some love. The two places that you are talking about should be flux, I seen them before on ps4 pro motherboards.
The security screws are TR9 torx's the rest are philips head screws. Hope this is helpful for you, I didn't check what size I was useing for the philips heads. If, you own a set of screwdrivers you should find the correct one that fits in size. I'm glad you fund my video helpfoul.
You definitely added too much thermal paste. I recommend putting some on and then using a flat plastic piece to spread the thermal paste evenly on in a thin film. If you just put a big glob on it then when you press down, it will expand outwork greatly, which just means more cleanup next time.
You're both right, I got carried away and put too much. Spreading it with a plastic card is the way to go. It will be harder for me next time when I wan't to clean and change it.
Dose it matter, I used a t30 paste and it’s still working good. Got it for 10 bucks at Best Buy. They had another past for 17 bucks. I think it was t45 or something like that.
If I understand correctly your machine is hot but it's blowing out hot air, then everything is fine. If not make sure that your fan is plugged in. You can also change the thermal pads if the're worn out.
Hy. There are plenty of shops doing this service. If I were you I would find a reputable place locally to do it for me. Feel free to ask me if you have more questions.
To be honest I never bought a GameStop refurbished console before but there are mixed revives about them. I would not recommend them but they give you warranty so you can't go too wrong. You could check ebay, there are some reputable sellers there.
Thermal paste *AND* 80 mm Fan grill mod, preferably one with a dust filter like the SilverStone SST-FF81B. You need both if you want to keep the PS4 Pro quiet. You need to align the Fan grill with the PS4 Pro Fan, there are several CZcams tutorial videos where you can see the distances.
I'm sorry to hear that. Its, a common problem with these connectors, I tried warning everyone in the video to be cautios about it. The pads under the connector are fine or they ripped?
Not really, the PS4 Pro needs to have its entirety filled with paste, it is NOT a CPU, it is an APU, it is different. But sure, maybe a tiny bit less would've been enough to fill the entire thing.
Inaccurate information. You are covering the lid only, not filling the entire cavity with thermal paste. If what your saying is true - then half of the AMD processors would have paste applied different then their siblings. center dot - center line or surface spread. Not caterpillar blob. @@ignacio6454
![PS4 Pro Almost silent [Mod]](/img/n.gif)
Thank you for this video. My grandson's PS4 Pro went from sounding like a diesel truck to sounding like an electric car. We are very grateful.
I'm glad it helped you. You're welcome.
Yeah it does make a difference no cap. Like you could actually hear the dialogue and sounds in your game lol
Haha l😂
Helped me refresh an old memory Andy friGGin Fantastic 🥳🤗🤗💯
Thank you for your answer🐈🐱

Its a great idea, thank you for the suggestion and help. Your right and yes, thermal paste is not conductive. I'm glad you liked the video.

Great video my friend. Lot of detail but what kind of screws is one dealing with, can you please elaborate. Thank you very much nonetheless.

I was gonna comment the same. That's one hefty chunk of thermal paste.

more is better

Is it tm30? It should be good, sounds decent.
Hi Andy maverick I am big follower
Hey, you rock! Thank you for following.
Do you need to apply the thermal paste to both the CPU and heatsink or CPU only?
You don't need to apply it on both the heatsink and the CPU. Apply it only to the CPU.
After applying thermal paste in ,is it normal that while playing games it will get hot but fan sound will be silent?
If I understand correctly your machine is hot but it's blowing out hot air, then everything is fine. If not make sure that your fan is plugged in. You can also change the thermal pads if the're worn out.
@@andymaverick ok thanks for the info
Is there a shop that does this if I don't want to
Hy. There are plenty of shops doing this service. If I were you I would find a reputable place locally to do it for me. Feel free to ask me if you have more questions.
@@andymaverick I don't own a PS4 pro but I plan to buy one today refurbished do you recommend GameStop
To be honest I never bought a GameStop refurbished console before but there are mixed revives about them. I would not recommend them but they give you warranty so you can't go too wrong. You could check ebay, there are some reputable sellers there.
Is replacing the thermal pads necessary?
It depends on the state of them. If they're dry and brittle then sure, replace them. Mine was in fair condition so I left them.

How to apply thermal paste 10:54
Damn bro that is way too much thermal paste
Thermal paste = 10:54
I have ps4 pro but don’t no how can’t fix sound like jet
You will need to clean out your playstation and change the thermal paste. It should be quiter afterwards.
Thermal Grizzly Kyronaut thermal paste
1mm thermal pads for the ram chips , and for the HDMI chip
Thermal paste *AND* 80 mm Fan grill mod, preferably one with a dust filter like the SilverStone SST-FF81B. You need both if you want to keep the PS4 Pro quiet.
You need to align the Fan grill with the PS4 Pro Fan, there are several CZcams tutorial videos where you can see the distances.
@@KRSRK y i need to add thermal pad to hdmi chip?
I did this and broke the cable from the power supply to the motherboard. Thanks
I'm sorry to hear that. Its, a common problem with these connectors, I tried warning everyone in the video to be cautios about it. The pads under the connector are fine or they ripped?
That’s your fault, you should always be careful with them
Am i the only one that wonders what the thermal pad thickness is?
You will need 1.0 mm thick thermal pads.
that. was alot of thermal paste...
Remove thermal paste 10:04
Hi great video but too much thermal paste
Hi. You're right, I went overboard with it this time. I'm glad you liked the video.

Thanks for nothing, I just broke my PS4 pro.
I'm sorry to hear that, what happend?
Too much thermal paste and how you can leave this shity thermal pads on ram memory?
Way too much thermal paste
