So, the more I use my PS4 Pro the more I am loving it.  

The games that have come out for it recently have been amazing and the the future is looking just as good.  

There (now) is honestly nothing I dislike about the system except for the fan noise.  

In games like UC4 and HZD the thing sometimes sounds like it's going to take off and go on vacation (and in the lobbies of games that don't lock the framerates like BF1).  

At first it didn't bother me that much as I was only using it a couple of times a week but now that it's pretty much become my full time gaming machine I'm looking for a solution.  

After watching some teardowns on youtube, I'm thinking about getting a smaller PC case and setting it up to house my PS4 Pro internals with an aftermarket cooling solution and maybe even a PC power supply.

What do you think?  

Is it blasphemy to put a PlayStation console inside the case of a PC?  

I think with some alterations it could be done and perhaps I could even get the Bluray drive functioning in a CD-ROM bay.

Any thoughts?  

Any less drastic ideas to improve the fan noise?

I'm thinking too maybe if I end up doing this I could try and build a PC for my wife inside of the PS4 Pro case.  Decisions, decisions.

Well two things... First is that it will certainly void your warranty and secondly, you most likely can't use standard pc parts. I havn't seen the video so I dont really know but I would think that you would need to get a custom case that will fit a ps4 pro's motherboard and etc. Cause PC (including gaming) cases follow the PC motherboard standards when it comes to screw and etc placements but Sony doesn't need to follow those when it comes to the ps4 since its their own thing... And same goes for the cpu coolers...

Again, I havn't seen any videos of it but those are some of the issues one might run into. I personally wouldn't bother since I do have a ps4 pro and it doesn't sound that bad and the effort needed would be too much for fairly small gain but yea...

If you have done something like this before and you are sure you will not damage your console, sure.
I remember I modded an OG Xbox back in the days.

Personally I don't use my ps4 more then 2 maybe 3 days a month but I have a launch model and in some games, like uncharted and the witcher, it sounds like a freaking airplane.

I don't know how bad the pro is but If I had to listen to my vacation jet taking off every day I would proberbly just buy a new slim model, anyway since you want the "pro" extra's there is proberbly no way to get a silent one from Sony so you have to do the work yourself.

You could also wait untill the Xbox Scorpio is unvealed, you can say alot about the design of the Xbox (altough the S is amazing) but that console has been quiet like a cat sneaking around your house, and if the re-designed premium console doesn't make a lot of noise you could use that to play most third party games.

Thats my 2 cents, if you do decide to put it in a pc case make sure to share some pictures I would love to see the results!

I've seen people on You Tube try many things and most don't seem to work. I've tried on my PS4 1200 series to replace the thermal paste with MX-4 and I also put a spacer between the top plastic shell and metal plate inside to try and put a little more pressure on the APU to make better contact with the heatsink but I did not hear much difference in fan speed or noise really.

I've seen some people on You Tube drilling holes or one large hole in the bottom of the PS4 to allow air directly into the fan which they say helps the most with reducing fan speed and noise. However, by doing this you also change the airflow within the console and potentially allow heat that was being sucked out to stay in the console and build up. The APU may end up cooler, but the rest of the console may not, so your taking a chance.
The Pro has the fan on the top of the console, so you would also see any holes you made or mesh you installed.

I've seen others use USB fans to either blow air into the sides, or suck air out of the back of the PS4. This is what I ended up doing. I have two AC Infinity 80mm dual ball bearing USB fans that turn on and off when the PS4 does and they suck air out of the rear of the console. They have an off, low, med, and high setting, in which I run on the high setting and the noise they make is on par with the PS4 fan when its just barely loud enough to be audible, so quite quiet. This helped make the PS4 fan run slower and more quiet, but after hours of gaming the heat would still build up inside the console and the PS4 fan would speed up and get noisy again.

I ended up going a step further and made an enclosure out of a 12 pack of mtn dew, lol, thats cut out and fits snugly against the rear of the PS4 to allow the hot air to enter it. Its even angled like the console and spray painted black to match so it doesn't look totally out of place. The back of the enclosure is cut out so all of the cables can easily be plugged into the rear of the console and the fans can be placed inside, sucking air from the rear of the PS4 and blowing it out the back of the enclosure. This has helped tremendously. The enclosure forces most of the air the USB fans are sucking to come out of the rear of the console and allows the PS4 fan to almost always run low enough that its inaudible. There is the rare time after hours of gameplay where BO3/DOOM/BF1 makes the PS4 fan slightly speed up for just a second but then it goes away. A very minor inconvenience overall.

In retrospect, I should have gone with 120mm fans, which weren't much more and could have been run on low or med and been completely silent. While the enclosure works great, it does hurt the super clean look of the PS4. I'd rather deal with a minor eye sore than a major ear sore myself. Not only is the stock PS4 fan loud at times, as it speeds up, the pitch I find is extremely irritating, and I'm not easily irritated by most things. That problem no longer exists now however.

Lets just hope the next PS console has better airflow and is more quiet. A slightly bigger shell than the Pro has wouldn't hurt.
