This is one thing I hate about PS4. That and the loud PS4 Pro cooling fan.

BrettAwesome2390d ago

I cleaned mine. It made a huge difference

MrVux0002390d ago

I cleaned mine, changed the thermal paste and added new thermal tape to the RAM and it still sounds like a jet engine.

It really comes down to what games you are running.

BrettAwesome2390d ago

Well, min was insufferable until I cleaned it. Now it's noticably more quiet no matter what I play

P_Bomb2390d ago

I’ve had my Pro for approx 3 months now. Still quiet as a mouse, knock on wood. Only spins up really when I first stick a disc in.

My OG was overheating and loud. Had to be opened up to get the dust off the grill and a fresh round of thermal paste. It would shut itself off from the heat. Since the fix, so far so good. Although I’ve quietly retired it to the kids’ room anyways.

Kornholic2390d ago (Edited 2390d ago )

Cleaning the fans makes a minimal difference that is barely noticeable.

sampsonon2389d ago

same here. also added thermal paste and it runs smooth without the jet sound.
only time i gets loud is if it's a graphically intensive game. but only a few, and not all the time.

I keep hearing that, mine is not loud at all. Launch day ps4 pro.

andibandit2390d ago (Edited 2390d ago )

I have 2 ps4s, one of them is like a turbine, despite cleaning and rinsing off old thermal paste and applying new.

MajorLazer2390d ago

Modern Warfare and GT Sport are hefty 100GB+ files so copying takes an eternity for me when updating.

ssmilloy362390d ago

at the end of the cycle...... why ask this question now? move on much?

xxShadow-Shockxx2390d ago

Mine was crazy loud to where people were hearing it over my mic, it was in my entertainment center, i moved it to the top of my entertainment center where it is now in the open and now its very quiet, so id recommend giving it as much ventilation as possible

ramiuk12390d ago

sometimes my ps4 pro fan is so loud i cant hear tv or talk on mic......it seems to do it more in menus which i find odd even when its been cleaned it still does it.
playing rocket league i used to think it was gonna take off ,infact never did it until rocket league and it does it alot since

DafunkyRebel2389d ago

Especially when I’m playing days gone, that shit sounded like it was helicopter taking refugees out of Saigon

Putting the ps4 in rest mode speeds up the process

Jin_Sakai2390d ago

You shouldn’t have to use rest mode to download games faster or speed up copying. Hopefully all these issues will be eliminated with PS5.

Mithan2390d ago

You actually got down voted for that, which proves again that the internet is stupid.

What people disagree with you? They think you SHOULD have to put the console on rest mode to do this? Omg.

One thing I wish it wouldn't do is wipe out your folders when you go through the database rebuilding process.

SierraGuy2389d ago (Edited 2389d ago )

This just happened to me yesterday after update 1.11 Modern Warfare...shows map packs "installed" but they were wiped.

Had to redownload 30-40GB.

PS...restoring licenses does nothing.

Just read on Reddit if you rebuild w external drive plugged in it may backup your app.db file to external storage causing the issue. 😥

ziggurcat2389d ago

"Just read on Reddit if you rebuild w external drive plugged in it may backup your app.db file to external storage causing the issue."

That would explain it, then. I think next time, I will unplug the external HDD before running that rebuild process.

TheGamez1002390d ago (Edited 2390d ago )

Steam does the same doesnt it? When you first download a game, it will reserve space in your drive and then wont download for awhile because its probably doing the same thing copying files. Then later on itll download normally. Always happens to me for huge downloads. It is quite long and annoying on ps4 though.

Cacabunga54d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot53d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose54d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE54d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername53d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy54d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde54d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8654d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8654d ago (Edited 54d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300054d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle54d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7754d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
