God of War was tested in the 4K check board rendering mode

@@racerboyo I want to ask again. If the thermal pad is dry, is it time to replace it? Then are there any special characteristics when you know it's worth to replacing? (I use the Grizzly minus pads too for my PS4 Pro)

@@riofebrian4735 thermal pads are usually kinda dry to the touch but the reason to replace them is because the stock ones Sony used are small so they don’t cover the full RAM module and they’re also just low quality. Cut the thermal grizzly pads to roughly the same size or slightly bigger than the RAM modules.

Great question, but I can’t confirm or deny but I’d assume they are became the plugs are the same and the molding looks the same at a glance. I’ve swapped fans from different model PS2s and they work but don’t fit as snug.

It matters more that the thermal paste is fresh and high quality, such as MX-4 for example, and I’d also suggest swapping the thermal pads on the RAM modules. Another UA-camr by the name of TechSavvyBuyer made a great guide in 2018. It doesn’t really matter which model you buy/have at this point since they all have old thermal paste unless a previous owner has changed it themselves. And even with fresh thermal paste it will still make some fan noise on games like God of War and the 2 Pro’s in this video are both just about best case samples. If you can afford it I’d just suggest getting a PS5 as the fan noise is near non-existent on that console and plays all the same games as the PS4 Pro and most of them even better. I’ve had the original PS5 since the day it came out and it’s still as quiet as the day I got it. Lastly, one thing to try is playing with the top cover removed and the fan exposed, it’s a ghetto solution but I used it briefly before changing the thermal paste and pads on my CUH-7015. Hope this info helps and isn’t to overwhelming or confusing.

I played FH5 on the Xbox One X in this video briefly in 2021 and it was fairly quiet. Still have the console but I haven’t played it since getting a Series X in January 2022.

I disabled boost Mode ans turn 4k to 1080 p now i didnt hear anything abymore. The games run better aswell

@@Link-zm2uz I have a 1080p monitor so 4k is disabled by default and boost mode really only affects games that came out before the PS4 pro so (from my experience) it all really depends on the title you're playing

I have to CUH7215 but for some reason mine sounds like a jet engine or maybe it’s because it doesn’t have enough space for airflow, because where I play is very cramped up maybe that’s why or I don’t know man by the way mines is used I got it from GameStop and maybe that’s why I don’t know

Both models are reliable but the 7200 is newer so you are more likely to find one in better condition. If you care about the noise level of the fan, I would strongly recommend changing the thermal paste with MX-4 and upgrading the thermal pads as well. But in all honestly I don’t recommend the PS4 Pro anymore because a PS5 can do everything a PS4 Pro can do and even better and much quieter. PS5 also aren’t hard to find anymore and are easy to order and I’ve seen them in retail shops as well. I would recommend just saving more money for a PS5 and I’d recommend getting the one with the disc drive so you can buy cheap used PS4 and PS5 games.

@@racerboyo You're absolutely right, thanks to backward compatibility I can buy physical PS4 games and the PS5 recognizes them without any problem. but there is a problem related to that and that is that the ps5 consoles and especially with the floppy drive cost much more money and even used ones are more expensive (new ps5 $900 and used ps4 pro $450). I really thought about the option of the ps5 that also comes with liquid cooling metal but it costs twice as much as a ps4 pro and I'm talking about used ones. As a last option I buy a cheap ps4 pro in good condition and I make a Modd to make a hole in the lid, I do the maintenance of the pads and I have a good console left. In Argentina there are many price problems, surely in the United States it would be nice to buy a ps5 from afar but not here :( Thanks for your help anyway

@@lean_drito7256 with the PS4 Pro you could also just leave the lid off if you want more cooling with minimal effort. I used to do that when playing God of War before I changed the thermal paste and pads. Sorry to hear about the prices of consoles in your area.

@@racerboyo It's true, just like any Sony or Microsoft console will get hot because they come fully refrigerated. It is always better to have a PC as is my case and that is why I want to buy a Sony console to play their exclusives. With the ps4 I can play all or almost all the exclusives to this day since they came out for ps4 and ps5 but in 2024 onwards they will stop coming out for ps4. I'll see what I do but I can still play many exclusives with good graphics on the ps4 pro. Thank you for your recommendation and help =)

My launch Pro was loud on MW 2019 in the menus and it always drove me insane. I know it’s still hard to find but the PS5 is worth the upgrade for the quiet fan noise alone.

I wouldn’t say there’s a definitive best model of the Pro since there’s many different variables that effect all revisions but if the one you have works well and is quiet enough for your likening then I wouldn’t worry about it.

I’ve been rocking with the PS5 since launch and have been loving the system. I managed to secure a Series X from Best Buy a few days ago and I’m looking forward to playing Halo Infinite on it. I haven’t launched a game on my PC in over a year since I prefer the experience of the current gen consoles as I’m sick of drivers, monitoring thermals, tweaking settings, and hunching over at a desk.

There both good but I think the CUH 7015 is built slightly better internally due to it having an extra metal shield on the APU. However If you can get ahold of one the PS5 is definitely the PlayStation to get as it plays almost every PS4 game is performance is significantly better. The PS5 is also quieter than every model of the PS4.

Am very grateful for #Techsteven I contacted him through this link ua-cam.com/channels/XEp7qhIWGR-AsF39n1u21g.html and I moved to the about section am really grateful I recommend him

There really isn’t any difference. I’d argue that the 7015 is better as it has more metal plating inside for support and the APU pressure clamp has more screws.

@@racerboyo Thanks for the information

I find that all the PS4 models can get loud but it depends on the game, dust build up, and quality of the thermal paste application.

No not at all when it comes to functionality, however there’s a higher chance the fan might me loud depending on how used it was. Most of the changes for the latter revisions of PS4s just make things cheaper to manufacture.

@@racerboyo I see, glad to hear that! I really don't mind the loudness cause I always use headphones. I'm just worried that the performance and fps might be lowered.

@@kuso4506 it’s super easy to clean the fan which can help a little bit if the fan is running loud but the only hard solution is to completely take apart the console and clean the heatsink and change the thermal paste and upgrading the thermal pads for the RAM. If you’re confident with taking apart electronics it’s on the easier side and well worth doing but if not headphones or loud speakers work too. There’s also a chance it’s not loud either but I’d thought I’d share some suggestions if it annoys you.

@@racerboyo ok I'll keep that in mind. Thank you!

My CUH 7015b is chilling in my closet in it’s box.

@@racerboyo my model is actually from 2020, but only shipped around Australia.

@@thekangaroo1880 in case you were curious the 7215b featured in this video is my brothers Pro and these days I use a PS5.

@@racerboyo nice! A ps5 in Australia costs AUD$1,100 so I'm not planning to get one rignt now haha

Comparable but typically the Pro is a bit quieter. The PS5 is the quietist of all the modern PlayStations.

@@racerboyo can you check how many db average

@@jabkko9142 I don’t have an accurate db reader but from the numbers I’ve seen online is that the launch model is around 60, the pro is around 50, and the PS5 is in the 30 range. It all completely varies however depending on how clean the heatsink is and how dry your thermal paste is. I’ve seen loud and quiet PS4s of all models. There are also several different fans in all PS4 and PS5 models with different audio profiles and some are higher pitched then others which is a factor db readings won’t tell you. Another factor with the PS4 Pro and PS5 is power supply coil whine where there’s 2 blue capacitors that can vibrate and make an audible buzzing noise. Not everyone can hear it and some people won’t mind it but I know it drives some people crazy. Db readings also don’t pick up coil whine from what I’ve seen. If you currently have a PS4 and want to upgrade to something better and quieter skip the Pro and get a PS5.

@@racerboyo my ps4 fat is 60db and its fucking unplayable with plane next to you

@@jabkko9142 if your comfortable with trying it I’d recommend taking it apart and at least cleaning it up. If you want to take an extra step clean off the old thermal paste and put some new paste on it. If you do both of those things it’ll run better then a brand new one. There’s tons of guides on UA-cam so give some a watch and see if your comfortable with it.

They’re about the same and I wouldn’t say one is better than the other however if you are looking to by a Pro for whatever reason get a 7200 model since they are newer and likely have less use. But if I’m 100% honest don’t bother with the Pro and just wait to by a PS5 because it really is that much better. I managed to pre-order one and I haven’t touched my PS4 Pro since I got it. In fact I gutted the drive from the 7000 model pro since I have no reason to use it anymore. I know it’s an absolute pain to get a PS5 currently but trust me it’s worth the wait.

What is the last year of 7016? Thanks for your ans

Which model cools better?

2016: 70XX 2017: 71XX 2018: 72XX The last two numbers vary depending on what region you live in. For example in North America it’s 7015. All three models cool about the same however the earlier model tend to be a bit louder but even then that’s not always the case. And again I don’t really recommend the Pro anymore but if you’re going to get one get the 7200 since there newer.

My ps4 pro 7016 is new. I bought today/Does Thermal Paste Expire?

I replaced this Xbox with an Xbox One X back in 2017 and these days I use a PS5.

lol

90% of the time the pro gets noisy from dried out thermal paste and under sized thermal pads.

It’s likely your One X has dried out thermal paste because that happed with mine

If it’s fan noise that goes up and down then yes a thermal paste upgrade would more than likely fix it. I’d also recommend upgrading the thermal pads for the ram modules.

The fans aren’t specific to a model number and it’s random which fan you end up with which explains why my 7015 has a Nidec fan and the 7215 in the video has a delta fan. Same goes for the new PS5 and with that system there’s 3 different fans.

@@racerboyo yes my 7016 have a nidec fan... And i bought 7216 but fan have a coil whine the console it's new i'm afraid that over time the noise will increase

@@Edgewell16 the coil whine is caused by 2 blue capacitors in the power supply. The noise will vary by game to game due to different power draw but it won’t get worse over time. The PS5 is also victim to the capacitor buzzing too but it’s nothing so worry about.

What brand thermal paste did you use?

The same that I use on my PC, thermal grizzly kryonaut

@@frankorojas9767 have you tried upgrading thermal pads? Also how did you apply the paste? Dot? Rice? Spread?

No I haven´t but I should, had no clue of that. I usually apply it making a cross on the CPU and then I spread it carefully

@@frankorojas9767 I used the same paste you did but I just put a pea sized dot in the middle of the APU and I used thermal grizzly thermal pads on the RAM. Made my 7015 model much quieter and it’s held up rather well the past two years. I’ve never spread thermal paste before but I’ve heard it can cause air bubbles which hurt its performance over time and that probably explains why yours got loud again. I have recently retired my Pro though since I managed to secure a PS5 on launch day and I’ve been using that now.
