so the revised model is quieter and cooler?
No one appears to have reported on it yet. If it's anything like the revision of the OG PS4 (C chassis) then it could be a worthwhile upgrade.
Until Sony gets it into their heads that they need to use and external PSU
I'd take brick any day over a hot and noisey console. You can hide a brick - can't hide the fan thrashing away.Personally, I really hate the external PSU's (MS use them all the time). I think aesthetically they are horrible... I understand keeping it separate because of heat issues etc but if there was some middle ground solution it would be much better for me...
They did it with the slim ps2. The first slim ps3 was still internal. Not sure about the Super slim though.Did they not do this with the slim? I never got a slim PS4 so never actually checked but it was normally how they managed to make them slimmer? PS3 and PS2 did the same in just making the PSU external to free up room for the chassis.

My Pro is very quiet. We frequently forget to turn it off it's so quiet.Just a change of internal components. The OG C chassis had an increased heat sink size officially mentioned? Until Sony gets it into their heads that they need to use and external PSU and the extra space for better cooling or a completely new fan solution we're left with a horrible experience in all modern games utilizing the extra power of the pro.
I don't want to sound like an ass but could you post any video? I find hard to believe that it doesn't make a sound with Pro supported games. Mine is dead quiet with non-Pro games.My Pro is very quiet. We frequently forget to turn it off it's so quiet.
Yeah I'll try to make some time today. Maybe I'll compare it to other appliances. I have GTS on disc and Horizons digital and my TV is 4k HDRWolfenstein 2 makes my Pro noisy as a jet engine about to fucking explode. However, Horizon and Hitman are super quiet. I've been testing more games and it seems like 60fps games with Pro support are the ones making the fans ramp up to hell.

Would greatly appreciate a cooler, quieter Pro. Anyone sample one of the revised models? They're allegedly being shipped in Japan and with the Euro GT Sport bundles.
Thanks! Mine is similar with both those games, its only after a couple of hours of playtime that you can start to hear the fans ramping up, and even then, it's not crazy enough to become annoying. It gets loud as hell tho with Wolfenstein 2, like seriously, it gets insanely loud. If you ever buy that game, would you please make a video with it?https://youtu.be/KkvBzXZJfqE
As requested, heres a video of my Pro, tried Horizons and GTS at 4K HDR. Model number CUH 7015B

Same. Mine is silent except when running super demanding games...but even then its literally 1/4 the volume of my launch PS4.

Ive had 2 OG ps4s, and people complained about the loudness. Neither ever got loud for me.
I dont expect my future Pro to either.
Wait, youre saying the sound level of the PS4 Pro in the video is the same sound level you have? And you find it unacceptable?It's exactly the noise level I have. I can't tolerate it and the shop where I bought it transfered the "video games stuff" in another shop that refuse to take it back, so I need to contact Sony but it's annoying.../

Yeah at that level it's still much quieter than the clicks of the controller, the hum of my refrigerator, the faucet, my sniffing and the microwave. And even then it only lasted a few seconds.Well yeah at like 4min10 it's so loud I can't stand it personally. :/ And I've played on Dreamcast for years without complaining about the GD drive noise.
Excellent - thanks. Now we need someone like digital foundry to open one up and tell us what's new.A white one is supposedly releasing next week, November 7. Priced at £339.99 at UK store Smyths Toys

I think we have to clarify something. Every PS4 model gets loud when you are running a game and go back to the OS menu, which is exactly what is happening during the minutes you are describing. Why does that happen? No clue. You have to judge the noise levels when the console is running the game, not when it runs it on the background while you are on the OS menu. It's gonna get loud there no matter if it's a Slim, an Original, or a Pro.Well yeah at like 4min10 it's so loud I can't stand it personally. :/ And I've played on Dreamcast for years without complaining about the GD drive noise.
His ps4 is normal. It will never be quieter than this. His fan kicked in to high gear because he was in the game and then went to dashboard . Usually the fans ramped up. But if you really Wana hear the fan kicking. Use a game with uncapped frame rate menu.like for example the match making in call of duty modern warfare remaster.lol when you hear that you will throw your PS4 out of the windowIt's exactly the noise level I have. I can't tolerate it and the shop where I bought it transfered the "video games stuff" in another shop that refuse to take it back, so I need to contact Sony but it's annoying...
It's what I thought, I had a day one PS4: dead silent, a C chassis PS4: dead silent, and my PS4 Pro is a jet engine. :/

Yeah, not sure why people hate the bricks.. Can easily hide them, but you can't hide an aircraft about to take off

Thanks for doing the legwork, OCD. Looks like I'll be skipping this revision.Ok so the revisions are out in the wild in the UK.
The way to guarantee the revisions is with the solo White PS4, which is available from Argos, Shopto, Smyths, Scan etc.
It's CUH-7116B
I picked one up from Argos at 9am this morning. As someone who's gone through various exchanges previously due to fan noise I can confirm that there's no difference in sound on my unit at least. If anything it's even more annoying than I remember, really high pitched whine to the fan.
Ramps up like crazy still. I'm going to exchange it as from my own experience there are variances between different PS4 units, although I need to wait for my local store to get another unit in.

Crazy talk. My og ps4 was really loud, but my pro is even louder. In some games its so loud i cant even hear the game (i have a small child that i dont want to wake up with high volume). I have 2 stationary computers side by side, gaming computers that arent built to be silent, and i often play with my wife. Both computers running in a game i still way waaaaaay less loud than just the ps4 pro. I have followed every guide on how to place it, and it was just as loud new as it is now. My brother has a pro too, and it is just as loud.Hard to believe there's people this obsessed with the noise levels of a console unit. Sander's video is normal and it's extremely close to my noise level when playing the same exact titles.
I just have a closed cabinet with a glass pane + dual fans pushing in cool air, and the other pulling out the hot air where the PS4 is located.
I hear people argue for 60fps, 4k resolution nonstop but the same people want a smaller unit that houses all that hardware and cooling solutions. Have any of you ever built a PC? I have a 4k Gaming PC rig, and it makes noise that's the nature of it. It looks glorious and I wouldn't give it up for the world, so I just turn it up when no one's home or put on my wireless headset if there are people at home to get rid of the noise and not pester my roommate.
Half the time people don't seem to understand that you need a proper cooling solution to keep the unit cool to power your weak "4k" machine. These cooling solutions make noise, period. Wether your noise is more than the norm or not is up in the air, there are always variances and it has everything to do with the environment you live in. If your area is warmer than others, your fans will have to work harder to maintain an optimal temperature. I live in the north and right now every piece of hardware I have is running even better than it was before with far less noise than in the summer.
If your console is truly defective or not is up in the air, but it's hard to believe some of you have forced Sony to swap your console because it might be slightly louder than the last console. They should just advertise a range of acceptable noise levels and deny cases where it's within that range.
