The Last Of Us Part 2 On PS4 Pro Makes More Sound Than An Air Conditioning Unit according to a Washington Post journalist
- Thread starter mogster7777
- Start date
So I only recently just got a PS4 pro and haven't noticed this at all (played VII Remake digital, TLOU remastered disk and Doom Eternal Disk), but to those with experience, does this happen (more so) at all with disk games because it's spinning and the eye is always moving, etc? Or that doesn't matter and having a downloaded version of a game wouldn't help the fan issue and fan would still be spinning alot/loud, etc?
I luckily also play with headphones/earbuds so that helps at least.
Almost anywhere that sells air conditioners from less than 5 years old probably...
Because:
1. It was one of Cerny key points on the deep dive into PS5 architecture
2. He said he's proud of what the teams came up with regarding cooling.
So we will see.
I recently played Dreams and it was a grim reminder how loud that thing gets. Will be even worse with such a atmospheric narrative-heavy game. I'm pretty much forced to use headphones there.
The Pro just sucks so much as a console. Can't wait to get rid of it.

I couldn't care less, to be honest.
If it, at least, isn't crashing the whole console with an overheating error like my Xbox One X does it with a hand full of titles it's completely ok.
Just use headphones or make the sound louder.

I don't think the disked is used a lot. You installed almost all the game on HDD.
But remember you have the third revision, they fixed a lot of noise issue with it.
Unless you live with someone who wants to sleep during the time you have for videogames... in which case, no option works.
Yeah, after two duds in a row I don't believe him. PS4 Pro was already their chance at improving things over the launch PS4's and they did an even worse job.
Show me these fabled Air Conditioners, even my brand new window shaker and portable are just as loud as the ones I owned 10 years ago.
Ehhh. Don't play in your bedroom and use the living room instead?? 😅
the launch model, cuh-7015b. I've definitely heard my system's fans rev up, particularly in God of War, but TLOU2 hasn't been noticeably louder than other games.
You know many air conditioners are in the 24db range (considered quiet) and some even go into the 16db range (extra quiet).
I mean, any of them would be quieter than a PS4 Pro.
Like if that was enough with this monstrosity...
My Pro is quite old, launch model basically, people say that olders models have worse coolers and consume more energy and generate more heat.
That quiet? Must be nice.
I expect to hear it even with headphones in at full volume on my launch PS4. I've been thinking for years every time I play a new game that the thing is just going to totally combust at any moment. So far it hasn't happened.
Just praying it can make it through it's last and toughest test yet with TLOU. Ol' buddy is so close to retirement.

Ah ok, thanks for the replies and that all makes sense.
Mine uses Glistco's feet for PS4 pro, cost about $15. About 0.5 to 1 inch off surface.
My Death Stranding pro is ready for both TLOU II and GoT. Changed the thermal paste last week and even in CoD: MW's lobby I can not hear the console.

Seriously tho, surely you guys jest. It can't be that loud...or I'm deaf, idk.
I'm sure the the fans are EXACTLY as loud as they ever are. There isn't some special magic that makes them louder than they behave in the worst moments of God of War or any other game. Just gives me an excuse to play nice and loud.
Most of them are in the 40 - 50db range but I'll need to find one of these mythical window units at some point.
Trust me, living room is next to bedroom so they share the same wall. And my girlfriend can say when I am playing and when I am not. And I am using headphones. And I don't press the buttons that hard, of course.
LG has a range of extra quiet ones, at least in Europe. I know because this year I installed one at home.
Of course, it depends on the area you need to cover.

It can. My PS4 Pro is louder than my 2080Ti in full speed.
i cleaned my PS4 pro 2 month ago and it's been quiet, but still only god of war is loud but after cleaning, it was huge improvement, before cleaning spiderman was really annoying, now it's super quiet that made me a bit worry maybe the fan not working, but with god of war is working high.
I believe it lol. My ps4 is fucking loud even after a thermal paste replacement, especially in uncapped menus and maps
Like my old shitty 970 with coil whine wasn't nearly this fucking loud. It's why I opted for a massive PC case with tons of emphasis on quiet cooling. I get that it's not so easy on a tiny console, but I legit have to play with a headset in some games because the thing is an absolute jet engine
Console fan go BRRRRRRR

I have a huuuge digital library. Rarely play the disc games I have. It's just some games cause it to take off.
If you have a newer model you should be fine. I have a refurb of an older model. Double whammy.
For the DIYers, some ppl it's getting better fans that helped, some replaced the paste. I tried cleaning, no help. I might need compressed air tho.
Could you provide a source that says all PS4 games will be backwards compatible on the PS5? I don't see how I'm misinterpreting when Cerny said that they'd done internal testing of the top 100 games to make sure they were compatible and playable on PS4.
Only other post I see is on Eurogamer that says any games submitted after July 13th will be required to support the PS5.
We can only hope.
Make that thing as big as OG if they have too, I'd much rather have that than some loud asf hand-vacuum sounding pos.
