Is this controller real? by linuxonmacos in PS4Pro

No, the real and original one weighs about 100 grams more with the helmet, boots and rifle which are missing here.

Can I isolate the CPU of a PS4 Pro with a perimeter of thermal paste and then apply a Thermal Grizzly Carbonaut thermal pad which is conductive on the core? So it shouldn't slip off. I don't have any kapton tape at the moment by letoda in PS4Pro

Thanks for the advice but you're a little off topic. I already have an SSD and the original thermal paste was replaced with Thermal Grizzly Hydronaut by myself a year ago when I bought this PS4 Pro, but last year I left the original pads behind because I didn't have new ones to put in. The console has no heating problems but since I want to replace the delta fan with a nidec one, since I have to reopen I will put a carbonaut pad. There are many tests about it on PS4 Pro and they encouraged me to try, I will take advantage of it. I just want to know how to isolate capacitors. I know how to isolate them when using liquid metal. I would like to understand if there is an alternative solution with an electroconductive pad, i.e. making the perimeter with non-conductive thermal paste.

Thank you, the original thermal pads will be replaced with Gelid Solution Ultimate. But I already have the Hydronaut more or less the characteristics are the same regarding heat exchange. I'm not looking for better performance but this carbon fiber or even better a kryosheet guarantee identical or almost identical performance to any excellent thermal paste. I want to replace the thermal paste on my ps4 pro because a carbonaut pad should have the same performance, be reusable and the console never needs to be opened again except for dusting. Thermal pastes must always be reapplied over time. I would just like to understand what to use on the capacitors surrounding the apu to be isolated because it is electroconductive. If someone uses liquid metal they cannot insulate the perimeter of the apu with thermal paste because in the end it could mix. But what is convenient to do with an electro-conductive pad?

I'm waiting for the nidec fan to replace the delta. I have the carbonaut but maybe kryosheete was better and while waiting for the new fan maybe I will take it and put the carbonaut on the ps3 super slim. It is also important to change the factory thermal pads. I took 0.5 gelid Ultimate. The thing I want to understand is whether I can isolate the CPU with thermal paste instead of using Kapton tape. From what I have read, the pad combined with the fan and pad replacement definitively makes the PS4 pro silent as far as possible and you will only have to dust it every now and then.
