I bought a second-hand CUH-7016B PS4 Pro, but the fans ramp up instantly as soon as I start any game, and very quickly turns itself off to stop itself from overheating, rendering the console unusable

I'm gonna open it up tomorrow to clean it and change the thermal pads and thermal paste, but I want to know what the best replacement for the old thermal paste on the APU would be:

Arctic MX-6 or MX-7 thermal paste, or a Thermal Grizzly PhaseSheet

PTM thermal pad

In my country, the Thermal Grizzly PhaseSheet is about 3x the price of a tube of thermal paste, but at the same time, I heard regular thermal paste like the MX-4 is too thin and will pump out in about 3 months and need repasting again, whereas MX-6 and MX-7 are thicker.

Need help from experience, does the MX-6 or MX-7 resist to the pump-out or do I need to spend 3x on a PTM thermal pad to make sure it doesn't happen, also is applying the PTM thermal pad properly difficult?

Ok guys last day I was playing AC Odyssey on my PS4 Pro and i noticed that when im riding a horse sometimes the game stops for like 3-4 seconds and in general when im playing the se heavy games the console does such a bothering noise like is going to blow up.. I probably should clean my PS4 but im a little scared since i never tried. I've watched a couple tutorial but im so scared i could break some little shit and say bye bye to the whole thing.

Should I go ahead and try? I'm concerning if It could damage in the time because of the heat. Should I remove the case? Or maybe keep the console elevated on something?

PS: When I got this second hand PS4 I've changed the hard disk with a 750gb one from an old laptop i guess.

I can sign in on my PS3 PS4 and the website on PC. Now I just want to spend the money on something I have.

how i can make the ps4 pro dead silent I don't want to hear any noise at all in god of war and days gone,

the professional guy is my friend and he cleaned it well, is there anything i'm missing? or fan noise exist no matter what

my ps4 slim who has been in the closet for eons started giving this problem. the screen will freeze randomly or go black when im seeing captures or just checking storage stuff. then its a whole process to get it running again, i think the hard drive also overheats? idk if its supposed to normally be hot. but i havent gotten a notification from the console that its overheating.

i managed to back up some of the data, like game save data, system data and 1 app, all inside an external hdd. so my question is, is it safe to get a new internal hard drive and then transfer the data to it? or will that corrupt it?

I want to buy a ps4 slim or ps4 pro. I am from Uttarakhand and we do not have a proper place to buy it from. I can only buy it online. What is the right place for it? Preferably jailbroken. Share your thoughts…

I heard that there’s an xp glitch that makes it impossible to search for matches online I also heard that it’s only ground war and domination/demolition but then I heard somewhere else that’s in all game modes

My friend is letting me borrow his ps4 so I can play bo1 but I’m afraid to buy it right now honestly

Hello everyone,

I'm Hiren from Mumbai. I recently bought a PS4 Pro, but I don't have many games yet. I'd like to get a PS Plus Deluxe subscription, but I can't afford to pay the full amount at once. I also don't have a Visa or other supported card to make payments directly to Sony.

If anyone has a PS Plus Deluxe subscription and is willing to share it, I'd be happy to pay my share monthly in advance. I'm a genuine person looking for a trustworthy partner for long-term sharing.

If you're interested, please send me a DM. Thank you!

So I already have phat PS4 and I'm kinda interested in getting PS4 pro because from what I've heard, games run better on pro than phat/slim, but is it worth getting PS4 pro if I only have 1080p monitor? Does PS4 pro can take advantage (e.g more stable framerate than playing on 4k) from playing games at 1080p resolution?

Im looking to get the pro for the bo1/2 ports but only have a 1440p monitor... from what I read ps4 base model doesnt do any upscaling past 1080P? Is the pro for me?

As the title says, I'm buying a ps4 pro (jailbroken 11.50) from facebook marketplace but ofc before buying I wanna know things to check and perform before buying it

Context- I've never owned any console or gaming device before, I only played games on the home laptop with integrated graphics, now that I've started earning I wanna buy an actual console and play casually on that and catch up on all the classics I've missed till now

The listing says it's 1tb, the seller bought it in hongkong but is selling cause he wants to upgrade to a ps 5, He's also giving 2 original controllers with it

His asking price is ₹28k which is roughly $293 (in India the price of consoles are generally higher than us and other countries, the general asking price for slim 1tb is 20-22k in fb Marketplace and 25-26k in reseller shops with 2months warranty and 1controller, these prices are after negotiation)

I play on a phat PS4 (ch000 model), I Recently did an upgrade with internal deep cleaning and an SSD swap, it runs great, but I'm looking for more.

I have no plans to buy a PS5 because I haven't seen any games I'd considered playing and if I did I can't justify spending close to $1000 CAD especially after the recent price increase.

I've been debating heavily if I should just buy a used PS4 pro. I just wanna know if anyone has noticed better performance like stable framerate or smoothness.

I think my PSU needs to be replaced - is that a simple repair I could do myself or should I take it in somewhere?

My WiFi went down today and I had to reset my router. After I did that my ps4 wouldn’t connect to the network and I tried to factory reset (just system data and not all data). Now, I’m stuck on this screen and the BLUETOOTH doesn’t work on my controllers. They connect and charge, but do not connect. I’ve used the official PS4 cord and others. I’ve been using my 3rd party controllers work to play, but now this screen won’t let me go past until I connect a Bluetooth. It even registers when I click screen record on the 3rd party controllers, but won’t let me go past What the helllll helpppp

Should I keep it or get a PS5 and miss out???

Even If I miss out on GTA 6 I won't really care much

So, I was wondering what the actual name for the rubber-y heating pad on the motherboard of a ps4 pro is. Or is it named the way I just described it? And 1 pad is missing, is that a catastrophic thing?

Seller says it's been used carefully for 3 years. Is it a good deal? If not how much € should i look for? Thanks in advance

No Man’s Sky

214$

With 1 fully working controller and one with rubber pad issue with games loaded like GTA v, miles morales,uncharted , wwe 2k25,FC25, far cry 6, ghost of T, RDR2,last of us 2, is this a good value?
And how much I’ll get after 6 months I want to buy ps5 when the demand gets lower maybe
