Does a one hit wonder deserve an update? Maybe I shouldn't have written a book to explain it initially.
The fan accelerator module is still working great, and I've actually been able to set it lower between 40-45%, and it runs at that speed 99.9% of the time still. I spent the first month tinkering and then left it alone, so it's been about 10 months now and no problems.
Here's a vid to give you an idea of what my PS4 used to sound like after maybe an hour of somewhat demanding gaming.
And here's a vid to give you an idea of what it sounds like now, 99.9% of the time. It sounds like the Pro in this vid (3:00-3:50 is best for times sake).
On my couch, with the house dead silent, I get a reading of 38dB. With the TV on and muted, and the PS4 on, I get 42dB on my couch, and 63dB right beside the PS4 where the fan is. The rare time when the fan ramps up one step, get's a reading of 45dB on the couch, and 67dB right beside the PS4.
Needless to say it's unbelievably quieter and consistent, and the whine now only happens faintly the very rare time it ramps up for very short cool down bursts after multiple hours of gaming. Needless to say I'm quite pleased with the results.
