Nope. Does nothing.Seriously, if the sound bothers you guys that much, just pop the top cover and let more air in. It doesn't void your warrenty and its perfectly safe. Pop it back on when youre done. Its easy and require just your hand, no screwdrivers no nothing.

sounds like a vacuum cleaner playing 4K games.
Tried moving it onto a bench in the middle of the room with nothing within 12 feet and the top off. Fire up a Pro Enhanced game and it goes into overdrive.
Totally drowns out a stressed Xbox One X and a PC with GTX 970.
That fan on the Pro is totally inadequate. I like the games, butits easily the noisiest piece of electronics I've ever come across.
Anyone know if its possible to replace the fan on the pro with a third party solution?
I am going to report this based on an experience happened to me.You can swap it for the nidec fan which is the one that's in the quieter pros

The fan really doesn't have much of an impact. the difference between them is almost nothing. and I will explain how I know this.
first of all let me put this clearly. I have a close friend who has his own local store. and he sell / own allot of PS4 Pros that I actually tried. ( almost all brand new ) anyway here is what happens for me to know its not really about the fan that much.
I want ( own ) 2 PS4 pros one is 4.5 ( for homebrew ). the other is for online play and new games like the rest of the normal world.
- My Homebrew (HB) console, is Nidec fan. you can barely hear the fan even during Horizon zero down at the map ( since the system is not online, the batch isn't installed )
- My White PS4 PRo destiny. its Delta fan. that console is ( was ) brand new but I decided to open it and check. fair enough. same game. same place. go to map and stay there for a while. you can hear the fan. barely louder than my nidec fan. ( again this system is on 4.70 but still no batch for the map )
so I was like, I am going to the store ( today ) and exchange my white PS4 pro with another one that is Nidec. and I did . told him to keep the white PS4 pro for a while because I needed to check the new console before we sell the white.
Anyway, I went home. turned it on. and I barely even started playing the game ( still loading the first intro where he scream her name, and the fan kicked in so loud I couldn't even hear the TV. and that was a nidec fan btw. I went to the store and exchanged it yet with ANOTHER nidec fan console ( just pop the cover and check the fan. if it has 8 squares around the center, its Nidec, if its 12 its Delta ) anyway, I went home with the second console and its very loud too.
I spend all my day today just checking this. so as a result. my Delta white PS4 pro ( I took it back ) was quitter than both Nidec fan consoles but not as quite as my HB PS4 pro ( even though I cant stress this enough, if I wasn't OCD about the sound in a mute room with a muted TV and no AC on, you wont tell the difference.
So to me. it has nothing really do with the fan as much as the Thermal paste is done badly. either that or bad CPU/GPU that is not functioning properly.
I did notice some coil whine in some of the consoles I tested. thankfully both of mine don't have it ( even if you put your ear next to the console's right side if its facing you ( that's where you hear it the most since the other side is just a BD drive )
So don't believe that Nidec is much better than Delta or vise versa. you just pray for good thermal paste. otherwise you are fucked with endless exchange till you get a good one.
Problem is if you get a console from one store and its bad,. you will have to wait for a while because ALL of the consoles the store get is usually from the same shipment from the same factory. you will need to find different model / bundle / wait couple of weeks till they finish the shipment from the warehouse and order another. Its really a nightmare thing to keep up with.
Thanks. I've ordered a nidec and some arctic thermal compound.https://www.ebay.com/itm/Sony-PlayS...vEfaOKvTVYb477g:sc:USPSFirstClass!11413!US!-1

I had picked up a Pro a while ago and it lasted a day. Mine was ridiculously loud. Even when it wasn’t working hard it was loud. When it WAS working hard, it sounded like a damn Dyson (a bit of an exaggeration, but it was loud as hell). I returned it and didn’t get another.
Maybe I will try again soon.
It is any issue and lottery it seems....Here is my first one (the replacement seems much better but still the loudest piece of kit I've owned)
