Toottalay undoubtedly cleaned the sink and has a happier PS4 for their actions, but even a clean heat-sink might not be enough to hush up a mouthy PS4 or PS4 Pro. Unsurprisingly, the heat sink in the picture is extremely dusty-maybe dusty enough to keep it from dispersing heat as well as it should. Six months ago, subredditor "Toottalay" shared a pic of their PS4's heat-sink, which they'd never opened or cleaned until that point. The PS4's issues seem to go deeper, straight down into its heat-sink (a doohickey that absorbs extra heat in consoles and computers). The most obvious solution is to clean out your PS4's ventilation slots if they're blocked, the system's fan needs to work much harder to cool off the PS4's innards.īut most of us know we should keep the PS4 clean and store it in an area where it has plenty of room to breathe. Posters on Resetera and redditors on the PS4 subreddit trade tips and suggestions about what might be done about the PS4 and PS4 Pro's grumbly noises. The issue seems to be most prevalent amongst games with unlocked frame rates. Some titles mentioned include Monster Hunter: Word, Horizon Zero Dawn, Nioh, Nier: Automata, and Ni No Kuni II. Several games, not just God of War, make the systems' fans go orangutan. Other posters assure hlhbk their own PS4's and PS4 Pros are noisy pieces of hardware.

"If so I may see what I can get from gamestop for my pro and get a GOW pro system." "Did they fix the fan noise in later released pros?" hlhbk asks.

User "hlhbk" started the thread when they noticed God of War is making their PS4 Pro's fan go crazy, even when the game is resting on the main menu. Resetera is hosting a growing thread wherein PS4 owners discuss the problem. One thing might change that sooner than later, though: Both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro make a worrying amount of noise when they play resource-intensive games. With the PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X on our shelves, we seemingly don't feel a need to beg for more power. Is there something you think we should be reporting on? Email around the prospective PlayStation 5 and Xbox Whatever remains lukewarm at best.
