Efficient Cooling System
The ElecGear TP4-819US is designed with three high-speed turbo fans that work together to create a powerful cooling effect. These fans draw heat out of the PlayStation 4 Slim chassis, maintaining the console’s working temperature, even during heavy gaming sessions. By reducing the risk of overheating, this cooling system ensures that your console performs optimally, extending its lifespan and preventing potential heat-related issues. -
Plug and Play
The TP4-819US cooler is incredibly easy to set up, requiring no additional power supply. It draws DC 5V power directly from the PS4 Slim’s USB port, making it a true plug-and-play device. Simply connect the cooler to the USB port on your PS4 Slim, and it’s ready to go. There’s no need for external adapters or additional cables, making the setup process quick and hassle-free. -
Quiet Operation
Despite the cooler’s powerful fans, it operates quietly, with a noise level that doesn’t exceed 50 dB. This means that even during intense gaming sessions, the sound of the cooler won’t be distracting.

Compact and Seamless Design

Dual Working Modes: Automatic and Manual
The cooler offers two working modes—Turbo and Auto—to suit different gaming situations. In Turbo mode, the fans run at maximum speed, providing the most powerful cooling effect. In Auto mode, the cooler automatically adjusts the fan speed based on the console’s temperature, turning on when the temperature exceeds 38°C and off when it cools down. This mode is managed by a built-in sensor, which ensures your console remains at an optimal temperature without constant manual adjustments. -
3x Mini and Effective Turbo Cooling Fans
The three mini turbo fans are the heart of the cooler’s operation, delivering a high-speed airflow that effectively removes heat from the console. These fans are engineered to maintain a balance between airflow volume and noise level, ensuring efficient cooling without excessive noise. -
