I've heard bad things about it, though if you bought PS4 Pro with red dead redemption 2 bundle [0][1], the noise is non issue. Cooling noise is not noticeable probably 95% of the time. I assume the system runs hotter, though..
[0] and I assume later models after that bundle came out, are quieter too;
[1] too lazy to find out what is the exact model designation number;
As someone with a PS4 Pro that is currently going through Red Dead Redemption 2, I disagree. I have to put on headphones to be able to hear anything in game because the fans are so god damn loud.
Things got better after opening it up, cleaning, and replacing the thermal goo, but it is still intolerable.
The person you're replying to is saying there was an improved model of PS4 Pro released with the Red Dead Redemption bundle.
If you disagree, then refute that... but an anecdote about how playing RDR2 causes the console to get hot isn't a response to anything they said. You could have a very early PS4 Pro without the improved cooling system.
(To be clear, I don't know whether the PS4 Pro's cooling system was revised in a later edition, I'm just explaining why your response doesn't fit with the comment you're replying to.)
The cooling system was revised in later editions, yes, but the model that the person I replied to mentioned is the CUH-7215B, the same one I have.
The CUH-7215B was included in a bundle with Red Dead Redemption 2 and in a bundle with Kingdom Hearts III, the one I got — there are probably other bundles with this model too.
I am not trying to shit on Sony, I have been buying Playstations since the first one, it is just a known fact that the PS4 suffers from noise issues, and I added my personal experience to the mix. Not sure why I got down voted for that.
EDIT: Just to add to what I said, I am not trying to be a dick or offend anyone. If my comment was wrong or offended anyone, just let me know what I did wrong and I will keep it in mind for the next time.
Yeah, after a day passed and my head cleared — and cooled, 38 °C yesterday —, I can see how my comment can be seen as low-effort at best. Lesson learned.
