High-Performance Thermal Paste (Arctic MX-4)
The factory thermal interface material (TIM) on the PS4 Pro is prone to drying and 'pump-out' effect over time. Replacing it with a high-viscosity, non-conductive carbon-based paste restores efficient heat transfer from the APU to the heatsink, allowing the fan to operate at lower RPMs. This is the primary corrective action recommended by both forum experts and professional repair technicians.

Internal Cooling Fan (Nidec G95C12MS1AJ-56J14)
PS4 Pro units were shipped with different fan manufacturers; Nidec fans are statistically documented to have a more pleasant acoustic profile than Delta alternatives. If the noise includes grinding or high-pitched whining, the fan's sleeve bearings may have failed or become unbalanced due to dust accumulation, necessitating a full replacement of the blower assembly.

Thermal Pad Sheet (1.0mm Silicone)
The PS4 Pro utilizes thermal pads to dissipate heat from the GDDR5 VRAM chips to the internal shielding. Over time, these pads can shrink or become misaligned, causing localized hotspots that contribute to overall system thermal instability and aggressive fan curves. Replacing them ensures the entire board's thermal envelope is managed.
