DICE TeamHello, everyone!
That is a weird issue all right!
I'm taking a look and see what I can find, I cant promis any info for the moment but lets what happening.
But a few question.
You tried other games, same sound?
Dose it mater what game mod/menu(SWBF2)that you get this?
How old is your PS4 pro?
/Atic
DICE Teamits not just this game every pro game i tried has coil whine happening, some much worse then other some it cant be noticed.
two 7015b
now 7115b
MGS:TPP has some nasty coil whine in ACC and if you open menus hell eve loading logo have it bad. un capped fps on menus and logo and other stuff can definitely cause it
Nioh - barely notice it but it there
Horizon Zero Dawn - barely notice it but it there
DX:MD - barely notice it but it there
Bloodborne in boost mode i dont really notice it but it there too
they all have it but some it barely noticeable
I was reading some place that the last ps4 pro update allowed game maps and menus to have 60fps instead of 30 fps?
The issue predominantly comes from poorly insulated and or poor quality psu and which can cause gpu do it or gpu would do just cause it was poor build quailty
I think i will might roll the dice once more and do exchace at walmart, but if 4 system has same issue I will just avoid it,
Ps4 has same coil whine only diffrence its so minute I would have put my ear 2 inchs from psu to even here it
Like i said on other topic:
Ps4 pro it's a really * consolle, great games very bad hardware, they can't fix this and if they can they patch via software but not the hardware problem.
The true problem is that ps4 pro is rated for 310watt and with a small form factor a single little fan can't dissipate all the heat.
Just think the fan need to dissipate ram, vrm and gpg and... the PSU!!!
the air flow it's obstruched by psu u can see it froma teardown, the heatsink it's just a small 3 heatpipe with alluminium base...
We are in 2018 and frankly i don't want a noisy consolle, just think when we will play the last of us 2 all this noise how much will break the atmosfere...
Anyway the problem is the coil/whine and the high pitch of the fan that does up and down, really the worst scenario possible.
You can cap the frame rate yes but when very strong games will be out the consolle will overheat and will do the same elettrical noise.
I changed 3 of them cuh-7116b and all, i mean ALL have coil whine.
In one i lose warranty and i opened it i try repaste, adding fans and modding, nothing stopped the coil whine nether the sillicone/glue on capacitors.
Only sony can improve this situation by changing the design of the consolle but they don't care because we buy their * consolles anyway.
I will try a petition but frankly i'm tired and now i sell all my ps4.
Sorry for my horrible english.
