Introducción
El mundo de las plataformas de video juegos ha cambiado rápidamente. Los fabricantes han recurrido a actualizaciones de mediados de generación para mantenerse al día con los televisores 4K y los auriculares VR. El mes pasado desgarramos el PS4 Slim, y ahora estamos abordando la tercera iteración de esta generación. Podemos ser jugadores aficionados, pero nos revved hasta rasgar el PlayStation 4 Pro abajo, profesionalmente.

Qué necesitas
-
-
Ya que esta es la tercera versión de la PS4, tal vez deberíamos llamarla PS4 3? De todas formas, aquí están las especificaciones:
-
CPU de 8 núcleos AMD "Jaguar" X86-64, con reloj de 2,1 GHz (a partir de 1,6 GHz)
-
4.2 Gráficos basados en Radeon de TFLOPS AMD
-
8 GB GDDR5 RAM + 1 GB DRAM
-
1 TB extraíble y actualizable almacenamiento en disco duro
-
802.11 a / b / g / n / ac, Ethernet y Bluetooth 4.0 (LE)
-
Blu-ray × 6 CAV, DVD × 8 CAV

-
And just a couple more Phillips screws later, the 2.5" HGST HTS541010A9E680 hard drive is free from its caddy shackles.
-
While the PlayStation team boasted about the Pro's SATA III support, this stock hard disk drive is rated at 3.0 Gb/s (SATA II).
-
Or is it? According to various online sources, this guy is actually a 6.0 Gb/s HDD. Regardless, at 5400 RPM this platter drive will never reach SATA III speeds and is pretty similar to the drive we found in 2013.

-
As expected, we're gonna have to remove these "Warranty void if seal removed" stickers to go any further.
-
Adding a bit of insult to injury, the screws hidden beneath are Security Torx screws—specifically designed to stop you getting in.
-
Luckily, even the most dastardly screw head is no match for our 64 Bit Driver Kit. With the case cracked open, we can remove this large metal shield.
-
Unfortunately, all this does is give us a view of the motherboard's backside.

-
With the beast on its back, the opposite panel pops off after some prodigious prying—but no "warranty void" stickers!
-
Alas, removing this panel isn't the panel-cea we were hoping for. We can pull out the power supply, but nothing else.
-
While you can't remove the fan, you could certainly clean it from here—maybe that's why we're granted this non-warranty-voiding access zone.

-
Burrowing through a layer of shielding behind the CPU reveals this cool X-shaped retaining bracket, similar to ones we found in another console.
-
And directly underneath it, we dig up a plastic-and-metal cover that looks to be the consumer electronics version of a pizza saver, protecting the back of the board from the heat sink retaining bracket.
-
Lifting the motherboard reveals a lot more thermal management. Highlights include a giant copper heat sink and dedicated pads for six chips on the motherboard.

IC Identification, continued:
-
Sony A02-C0L2 secure microcontroller (likely)
-
Macronix MX25L25635FZ2I-10G 256 MB serial flash memory
-
ON Semiconductor CAT24C128WI−GT3 128 KB serial EEPROM memory
-
Richtek RT5069A power management
-
Texas Instruments TLV62090 3 A step-down converter
-
Richtek RT8237F synchronous buck PWM controller
-
Texas Instruments SN74AUC2G66 2-channel SPST analog switch

The fan and optical drive seem almost within reach—and yet they're screwed in from the bottom, where a large heat pipe assembly keeps guard. However, we're not scared.
-
We manage to extract the heat pipe gear without serious injury, clearing our way to that spinny thing that blows air.
-
This Nidec fan is rated for 2.1 amps at 12 volts, or 25.2 watts. So that's where all that extra PSU power is going...

-
We pluck out the optical drive, claw-game style.
-
We do some more clawing (and unscrewing) to get this beast open. We find:
-
A lot of springs.
-
A lens assembly on a track, with some sweet stabilization action.
-
And some sweet gears.

-
The optical drive's laser pickup assembly is ready for its closeup.
-
We use a little compressed air to move the pickup arm. It's super responsive and likely does a great job with skip protection.

-
With some determined prying, we remove this triple-decker PS4's middle tier. Turns out it's just a plastic frame, which we quickly pull away, revealing a final component or two.
-
This LED light guide catches light from the LEDs on the left-hand board, and also serves as the button covers for the mechanical switches on the two right-hand boards.
-
- No adhesive makes disassembly and reassembly easy.
- The non-proprietary hard drive is simple to access and upgrade/replace—and doing so will not void your warranty.
- While you can freely clean the fan, removing it—and other components—requires lots of (warranty-voiding) disassembly.
- Security screws and tamper-evident seals discourage users from disassembling and repairing their PS4.

Can anyone confirm if the GPU in this Pro is actually a Radeon RX 480 put together with the Jaguar cores?
Its got 2304 cores so same as RX 480 but seeing as how they need to maintain compatibility id say the shaders aren't true GCN 4 like the 480 but still GCN1.1 like the original PS4.
i just bought a ps4 here in japan. i just want to know if can i use it in 220volts? thanks
