That's the one I bought. Same seller and ships worldwide.Yeah, at $19 it would be a steal. The amazon option is going to be $50 USD + Shipping, so I'm not sure about taking that extra step yet.
Maybe just take a look what fan you've got inside. If you got a Nidec one already, just go and change the paste and pads first. Maybe that's gonna be enough already.
You can still switch the fans out either way.
Hey guys! Can anybody bother with a list of stuff I need to shut my Pro up?
So far I'm only sure of the Nidec fan. Would like to know which brand of paste is better and which thermal pad I should order, etc.
Thanks!
PlayStation 4 Pro Fan Replacement
This guide will show the steps necessary to remove the fan from the PlayStation 4 Pro. There are many steps necessary to complete this, as well as...
www.ifixit.com
The "iFixit Opening Tool" isn't necessary at all. Just the screwdrivers.
For the fan, there's either the ebay seller above or you can purchase the set that somebody listed on one of the last pages here. That set also includes thermal paste.
It might not even be totally necessary to switch out the fans. Open the console and see what fan you've got inside. The comparsion picture is on the last page. You can still switch out the fan later on, if the fan still goes nuts. We've got plenty of people here, who only changed the thermal paste+pads and are fine.
For the paste I can recommend Arctic MX-4. Others have used Grizzly paste or Arctic MX-2 that was included within the set mentioned above.
They should all be relatively fine and are a huge improvement over the shitty default factory paste.
There are also people that used liquid metal. That's something that involves a certain risk.

For the pads I used these :
Got a package with two strips instead of one. No idea where you might get them cheaper in the US.
Guides are linked all over the topic.
