Why is everyone calling this a mod???🤔

@RRGC Жыл бұрын

Because Parts of the original cooling solution of the PS4 Pro get exchanged for better parts and some new cooling parts are added. modification /ˌmɒdɪfɪˈkeɪʃn/ noun the action of modifying something. "the parts supplied should fit with little or no modification" Hence the Term Mod (short term for modification) 😊 Take Care yours The Red Rage Gaming Crew. 👍🤗

@id104335409 Жыл бұрын

@@RRGC Bro, what are you talking about? I rewatched your video because I thought I'm going crazy. You did NOT modify anything. That's REPLACING the thermal compound and pads. Replacing is not the same as modifying. That's like changing the carpets in your house and claiming that you refurbished it. Don't try and make stuff up and try to paint me as a fool by throwing the dictionary at me. You are literally calling the Moon a Sun and pointing at me like I'm the crazy person. Changing your thermal paste is not mod. It has never been called a mod. A mod is when you cut a hole in your PS and slap a huge fan on it. There are people who literally pull the board out and make Custom Builds with custom made cooling solutions. Is your PS4 a custom build now that you swapped the cooling pads? Come on man, let's be honest here.

@RRGC Жыл бұрын

Thanks for your reply Id. I get your point it’s not a custom build and we ripped nothing out or modified the externals of the PlayStation and you are absolutely right about that. 😉 But we also modified the way the ps4 is transferring the heat away from the APU by adding thermal interface material where there was nothing on the ESD shielding. Also we further reduced the Fan RPM of the PlayStation by adding thermal pads to the HDMI chip because that partially controls the fan speed. So maybe we could agree on that it’s not a big mod, like changing it to watercooling. But even exchanging the thermal paste against a better one would be by definition a mod. 😊 Thank you for the update take care 👍

@willionaire77 Жыл бұрын

@@id104335409but he didn' just "replace" the termal compound... he used a different thermal compound than the factory one and he also added thermal compund to places where there was none - for added benefit. So calling it just a "replacement" instead of a mod is just semantics at this point. This video was very helpful and I rather might try this modification to a stock PS4 Pro rather than make a frankenstein console out of it and drilling huge holes into it with external fans - or experiment with questionable liquid metal at my own risk of damaging it if it spills and shorts the PS4..... 🤷🏻‍♂️

@santosdr2 Жыл бұрын

It isn't much of a modification at all. It seems pretty standard, I just did something very similar and in no way would I say I modified the ps4 pro. I just wanted to clean out the old thing because it was overheating and being loud. I cleaned it up, add some thermal paste as the stock stuff was no longer working well. My ps4 is very quiet now now longer overheating but the real test is coming since the temperatures in my area are getting warm. Last summer mY ps4 would bug out. here is to hoping it will fare better this summer. When I bought the ps4 I added a SSD that was a slight modification that even then isn't much of a "MOD" since it is very easy to do. Requiring less work then adding new thermal paste.

Hi mate. I have a question to you. If you recognized more hotter backsite of the console than before replacement of the thermopast and -pads, the power supply unit is overheat? My PSU have got damage because of a bad soldering of the elements in the PSU and hot air which come from the heatsink. One more question at the end. What do you think about an addtional fan at the bottom cover near the processor to eliminate the hot air which come through the PSU?

@RRGC 3 жыл бұрын

Actually my PSU works fine and I've modded my PS4 pro over a year ago and the heat gets spreaded more evenly via the ESD shielding. I think that an additional fan would cause the designed airflow to no work properly anymore. Also it would only change the air temperature a little bit and add extra noise.

@lanceshelton5024 26 күн бұрын

Did you just add the new thermal pads over the chips or remove the old thermal pads on the chips before adding the upgraded pads?? The heat shield was pretty obvious,but I was curious about the motherboard thermal pads.

I found the difference in temperature very absurd, I already changed the thermal paste on mine, changing only the thermalpads will give such a significant result?

It will be more silent with this solution because the thermal Pads will conduct more Heat away from the Chips to the ESD shielding.

This is somewhat unusual. May be if your ps4 runs too hot in the top you should remove the hdmi chip cooling pad again. I haven't noticed any frame drops on my ps4 pro but it's the pro model.
