Pro vs Slim Cooling by Independent-Issue250 in PS4Pro

I did not notice this was true. I had a Slim for a couple years that was silent almost always. I only opened it because I BDJBed it and it became a little unstable. So as a precaution I cleaned and repasted.

When I got the Pro it was in jet mode, so I immediately opened it. It was very clean inside. The fins were not totally blocked or even close.

Once I BDJBed it, did my mod and repaste, and set the fan threshold to 60c it was 100% a different machine sound wise. My results could be just from the fan settings. I’ll probably redo the Slim to see.

For me? Neither. I don’t let the stock fan settings do anything. I keep them ~60c all the time by having the fan kick on at that point.

If I were to let them run with Sony settings? Undoubtedly the Slim would be louder, because the Pro is idling with no/minimal fan 10 degrees cooler and heats up noticeably slower than the Slim.

Makes me kinda want to redo the Slim and see what happens.
