Automatic Temperature Control
The ElecGear TP4-894US cooler is equipped with an advanced automatic temperature control system that intelligently adjusts the fan speed based on the console’s internal temperature. This ensures that your PS4 Pro maintains an optimal operating temperature without the need for manual adjustments. When the temperature rises above 38°C, the fans automatically kick in, providing efficient cooling, and they turn off when the temperature drops, conserving energy and reducing wear on the system. -
USB Powered
This cooler draws power directly from the PS4 Pro’s USB port, eliminating the need for an additional power source. This seamless power integration ensures that the cooler operates only when the console is in use, providing a hassle-free setup that doesn’t clutter your gaming area with extra cables or adapters. -
Low Noise Operation
Designed with a focus on quiet performance, the cooler operates at a noise level of less than 20 dB. The balanced airflow system ensures that even at high speeds, the fans remain unobtrusive, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in your gaming experience without distracting fan noise. This feature is particularly beneficial for late-night gaming sessions where a quieter environment is preferable. -
Compact Design
The ElecGear TP4-894US features a sleek and compact design that integrates seamlessly with the PS4 Pro. The snap-on installation method ensures a tight, secure fit without adding unnecessary bulk to your console. This minimalist design approach not only preserves the aesthetic of your PS4 Pro but also ensures that it can still be placed in most vertical charger stands without any compatibility issues. -
Efficient Cooling
The cooler utilizes five high-speed turbo fans to effectively dissipate heat from the PS4 Pro’s chassis. This design is crucial for preventing overheating during intense gaming sessions, especially when the console is running resource-heavy games. The efficient cooling system helps extend the life of your console by maintaining lower operating temperatures, which reduces the risk of hardware failure due to excessive heat. -
PS4 Pro Combo Kit
The ElecGear TP4-894US is not just a cooling fan; it’s part of a comprehensive combo kit that includes a 5-port USB Hub 3.0 adapter. This adapter enhances the connectivity options of your PS4 Pro by providing one USB 3.0 port and four USB 2.0 ports. This is perfect for connecting external hard drives, DualShock 4 controllers, PS VR headsets, steering wheels, and other gaming accessories. The USB Hub also features five blue LED indicators that show the status of each port, making it easy to manage your connected devices. -
5 Mini Cooling Fans
The cooler’s five mini fans are specifically designed to draw heat out of the PS4 Pro’s chassis. These fans are strategically placed to ensure maximum airflow and heat dissipation. The cooler operates in two modes: manual mode, where you can turn it on and off as needed, and automatic mode, where the fans are controlled by the built-in temperature sensor. This dual-mode operation gives you the flexibility to choose how the cooler operates based on your gaming needs. -
5-Port USB Hub
The included USB Hub extender provides a significant expansion of the PS4 Pro’s connectivity options. With one USB 3.0 and four USB 2.0 ports, it allows you to connect multiple peripherals simultaneously, such as external hard drives, controllers, and other USB-powered accessories. The USB 3.0 port ensures high-speed data transfer, making it ideal for connecting external storage devices. The hub also functions as a universal charger for smartphones and other devices, making it a versatile addition to your gaming setup. -
