I opened mine up and changed the thermal paste of the CPU, now it’s way quieter. It was surprising because the application of the original thermal paste was gross, it spilled out of the CPU and hardly covered it. I recommend anyone having issues with their loud PS4 to open it and replace the thermal paste. It’s not extremely hard, just follow a tutorial and your PS4 will be good as new.

[@francorottier8221]

Where did you get a good thermal paste for it I have the og ps4 any good video in following to do it I open it up cleaning but never did the thermal paste

Call of Duty MW seems to be one of the biggest culprits for PS4 overheating as of recent. Personally, I’ve never played any other game that required my fan to blow so loud so constantly. If you haven’t yet, you may want to delete and reinstall MW fresh so that it doesn’t switch off right away. Also make sure everything’s up to date.

[@ksiFunnyClips]

John Hammer I’ve found a solution, whilst your waiting for it too find a match go into gunsmith and preview the weapon, the PS4 won’t overheat however the fan will still be loud. By waiting on the PREVIEW LOADOUT screen there’s less things running in the background which won’t cause the PS4 too shut down

[@littlewitchling535]

[@andyblue001]

For me, I think the vertical stand ia much better than not using a stand, cause using the vertical stand makes more surface area exposed to surrounding air like a convection from air which can make it more cooler compared to just laying it on flat, what I am trying to say is there is more convection going on on the surfaces of the unit which means there is greater heat transfer going on, bcause I believe the ambient air would be much more cooler than the inside parts..

[@robertkvasnika5852]

I don't have a ps4 yet but when I bought a stand to put my ps3 in a vertical position it made a HUGE difference in the temperature of the console. When you leave your console horizontally the space between the console and the table or furniture its on is very small and the heat can't dissipate well but putting your console in a vertical position fixes that big time.

[@redeyewill100]

There's a video that shows the temperature literally doesn't change with external fans.

After my new PS4 Slim's first five days of life with me, I decided to replace its original drive with 1TB SSD because it was hot as flat iron, and it loads like ridiculous 1 to 3 hours. Now, it feels warm to touch, and it loads faster. Plus, I installed detachable cooling fan on the back of it. The upgrade that I did was like buying disc version of PS5 already. I'll give PS5 a pass for now because getting it is like going to a destination where a vertical cliff is only way to get there. The moment PS4 stops working after 4 to 5 years, I will buy PS5 or PS6, instead of repair. My PS4 Slim is a gift to myself, in memory of pandemic. 😁😄😆🤣😘🤭 I bought it last November 15, 2020.

[@Los_da_gamer]

I've noticed many in the comment section pointing out the issue of dust buildup to others in the comment section of this video. Dust buildup will, for obvious reasons, cause the system to overheat. Make sure to clean the dust out of both the fan and heatsink (at least) to make sure the transfer of heat is successful when the system is reassembled. I've seen a few mention thermal paste replacement as well, which is also good. If you're not confident enough to disassemble your system, find a friend or family member who can hopefully do it for you. Two things you really shouldn't do, in my opinion: (1) Have anything that is literally "stacking" on top of your console. Like John Hammer in the video mentioned, too much stacking could trap heat but too much stacking could also apply too much pressure on the inner hardware of your console. Doesn't make a lot of sense to have anything stacking on a console with inside hardware so sensitive to damage, just saying. (2) Do not put your console or any console just sitting in a cabinet somewhere. Put your console in an open-spaced area somewhere so that it has plenty of space to both breathe and not accumulate too much dust. People who just leave their consoles in cabinets and shortly later wonder why their system sounds like a "jet engine" so quickly, reevaluate where you're placing your system and perhaps where else your system should be relocated. Leaving your console in a cabinet will only cause the inside of it to accumulate dust at a faster rate.

The reason your PS4 overheats after playing 20 minutes of call of duty is because Sony didn’t add as much fans to their console compared to Xbox one you can play a whole day of call of duty and it would be as quiet as a mouse because it has lost of fans every where on the Xbox one.

Its really not that hard. Keep it as far away from walls in a well vented area, near a open window if possible and done. And every hour just let your ps4 sit in rest mode for 5 mins to bring them temps down

[@Chris_Sincere]

Great video. I don't have a vertical stand but what I do is get maybe 3 or 4 of my ps4 game case or can use any DVD cases and stack them on top of each other and put my ps4 on top of them. The size of the cases are good because they sit in the middle underneath the console without blocking any vents. So like you said about giving the console enough room to have good air flow all around and underneath. Has plenty room to breath. Thanks for your videos and tips. God Bless

[@JohnHammer]

If it is overheating specifically while playing NFS Heat have you tried deleting and doing a fresh reinstall on your hard drive?

Thanks Man You saved My ps4 From going on fire 🔥

When I turn my ps4 I’m cool but if I’m playing a game where it takes a lot of energy I set my fan up so it’s facing it and it keeps cool..

[@JohnHammer]

Try deleting and reinstalling the game

Honestly, I feel like the best solution would be, putting your ps4 vertical and instead of blowing air into the ps4, get like a small fan and put it backwards towards the back of the ps4 so the extra fan is like an extra exhaust for the ps4 and it’ll help push air out

[@JohnHammer]

Yes that’s really interesting, and a reason I’m personally not a fan of third party fan stands. I’m like you and don’t see the benefit of blowing air into the console, especially since it can introduce more dust and dirt into the system. But some people that have them say they love it, so it seems to be a matter of preference and tolerance.

I had similar problem with many other games, so I watched some Indian guy on KZbin how to clean fan and radiator. I bought special torx 8 screwdriver and I’ve started. While tearing apart my PS4 I realized that my thermal paste is dry as fu*k. Indian guy said that if it is actually dry you should replace it. So I ordered some good thermal paste, really don’t buy cheap stuff. Mine cost about 10 euro for 1g and the reviews were excellent. Also you will need isopropanol for cleaning remaining dry paste, iso is safe for electronics so don’t use anything else, especially water duh. That’s another 2-3 euros for 100ml. After cleaning components from dust and changing thermal paste, my PS4 is running so silent. Even while playing RDD2, God of war, or Warzone. Since then it has never turned on jet engine and I’m very happy about it.

[@JohnHammer]

Is it while you are playing a certain game or when at the home screen?

[@lucky.hectorr2480]

@@JohnHammer when at the homescreen

[@JohnHammer]

Try powering off and unplugging the PS4 for a few minutes, then plug the unit back in and power on.

[@lucky.hectorr2480]

@@JohnHammer ive already tried that and it didnt work

When you said call of Dudy I agree.

[@deonambrose]

Are we gonna talk about how did you download warzone without deleting any of your games?

[@JohnHammer]

For real! And yes, with a mere 1 TB (nowadays) I did have to delete games so that I could fit the massive size of Call of Duty, the multiplayer, Warzone, and ALL its constant updates to date. I will certainly be publishing an upcoming video on my experiences from this soon!
