Mine is the latest version had it for 3 weeks quiet fan & no coil whine at all.

Reddit is a classic for complaining about the noise. I got my Pro in January, it was the B revision.
I've never heard the coil whine and I reported this back, I was told that I as lying - they all make it. I went and found some video's online apparently showing the noise, decided that although I've got great hearing that particular noise doesn't effect me so much. Eventually heard the noise, confirmed mine doesn't make it - was told I was lying, they all do it.
Said that yes, my fan does kick in - when I've been playing for some time or I'm playing something particularly intensive. However it's just a fan and I cannot hear it over the audio I've got from the game in question. However if I pause the game then yes, the fan is there and it is quite noisy.
Was told I was a liar as they all sound like jet engines.
Mine really doesn't make that much noise at all. It is a Black b revision that came in a Fifa18 bundle in January.

My PS4 Pro is quiet, until the coil whine kicks in. Seems to be luck of the draw.

Zero "coil whine" here, got my Pro before Christmas.
Edit: just had to look up this "coil whine" and it looks like a lot of these people reporting it on Youtube, really ought to listen to cooling fans.... as.... that's the noise of fans! Goodness knows why they have termed it "coil whine"

It seems to be the fans working.
I have noticed that my PS4 Pro throws off a LOT more heat than my old PS4 console did.
If I have the PS4 Pro on for 20 minutes my room is noticably warmer. When I turn it off the room temp returns to normal.

Mine was until i modded it. Quiet as a mouse now even in god of war on resolution mode and luckily mine doesn't have any whine either.
What mod did you do
Soldato
Circular hole in the top lid where the fan is and installed LM too. I'll post a pic tomorrow.
You can see how much it quietens down just by taking the top lid off.
If it dies I'd likely not send it to sony anyway so if it dies. It dies

Can't say I've noticed any difference. If anything it should be marginally faster as you're not writing game capture data, reading system files and game data all from the same device. It's probably the best place to keep your PS4 games in case anything happens to the internal HDD, you won't have to redownload anything.

Final touch on the pro today, cut a hole in it and swapped the paste over to liquid metal a week or so ago. Didn't quite like the plain hole so have since made a custom stainless steel ring with a white fan filter behind. Wasn't after anything too flashy.
Sure the warranty has gone but gah, lifes too short and all that. That and i like to tinker around and try improve/personalize almost everything i own.
Wish i waited and went for the black console however, do kind of like the skin though with the white.
It is definitely quite a bit quieter now which is what i was after.
If anyone is interested that is, few (not the best) pics in spoiler below.

Good job tbh.
Really nice looking mod Tyler.
My PS4 Pro is really irking me and spoiling my enjoyment due to how much the fans are ramping up on just about every game.
I had to return my original PS4 Pro due to disk reader problem. That console only ramped up for Unchartered, mainly on menu screen.
The replacement they sent is just bloody awful for fan noise.
I did a basic opening up and clean out but no change. It all looked quite clean.

Same for mine, opened it up expecting heaps of dust due to the noise it was making but it was clean as a whistle. Tempted to take it apart and reapply the paste but part of me thinks it's just a poor design and I'd be chancing the warranty for nothing (I am in NZ so we have a near endless warranty on games consoles under our consumer laws).
