How to Replace Thermal Paste - PS4 Pro Deep Cleaning

PS4 teardown & deep cleaning, completely disassembly and replacing thermal paste. The fan noise in games such as The Last of Us Part II, Spider-Man and some others was absolutely horrible. After such deep cleaning, and after putting a new thermal compound, the PS4 Pro became extremely silent and was like new.
Questions such as "how to change thermal paste" or "how to apply new thermal paste" to PS4 Pro, are all answered in this video.
If you wonder how to open PlayStation 4 Pro, this is how I did it...

My ps4 was sounding like a superchager nice work friend now its sounding good

[@ANTHONY-rp3ud]

I can't thank you enough for this video my PS4 sounded like twin Turbo jet Engines I never took one apart before but thanks to your video and cleaning everything out and replacing the thermal paste did the trick Now the fan is nice and quiet !!!!

[@English_Speaking_Fox]

Excellent instructional video. Thanks for taking the time to do this mate.

[@user-wi2ys5tk1m]

Thank You for such detailed instructions. I was able to successfully repaste the main Sony processor and it does not sound like a jet engine. I liked and subscribed. Looking forward to future videos. 🙏🥳✌️

[@neilbalcombe9700]

Thank you, used your video to clean out my son's noisy PS4 Pro... There were some differences inside the case, but your video really helped 👍👍

[@MatrixAlphaCWX]

Removing the power supply/hard drive and a few screws/disconnect wires on the other side. The "Entire" motherboard with both metal panels wiggle out at an angle without needing to take it all apart. You won't have to repaste or anything. : ) Just found this out. This is only for a light cleaning.

[@Jennavarro1974]

Thank you. This was very helpful!

VERY informative video, thank you sir.

[@DCJimbo1]

Thank you for your videos. I've been trying to acquire what old consoles I can, and refresh what I have.

[@anunohmouse7460]

Same! I just picked up the filthiest marked up one I've ever bought and in white too. This thing has seen some shit. It came out of a garage when I went to pick it up and I think a cigarette smoker owned it because even isopropyl alcohol 100% couldn't budge the stains on it! All that to say, if you're ever in the same position where nothing is touching the mess use "eraser pads", those spongey blocks used for cleaning stains on walls. I'm so glad I had the idea otherwise I would have been scrubbing just the outside for days and instead it cleans in seconds! Hope this helps for any future tough jobs :D

Yesterday'e tech thank you so much about this demo tutorial that you given to us as a gamer console that we appreciate every single of your video effort such a wonderful person u are truly and god bless to u.

[@maniarpg353]

Make sure to include that you include what type of tools were needed to get the job done. Also what compound did you use when applying the new thermal paste? And what was preapplied to the cotton swabs and wool pads I. E. Isopropanol or isopropyl alcohol. Also incuding the necessary tools before hand would be a great help for those of us who were following step by step. Thanks and Great Video!

[@pododododoehoh3550]

Any of the options you listed will work though

[@pododododoehoh3550]

Thanks mission complete 👍

[@QathamZamil]

@Yesterday's Tech thanks this was very help to me. When I completed my operation, it would not turn on, just one peep then off. However, I noticed that i forgot to put back one of those black mini pads that surround the CPU... could this be the cause? If not, why is it turning off? please help.

[@YesterdaysTech]

I suppose when you assembled it you’ve connected some ribbon cables improperly. Check their pins as they tend to be quite fragile. Otherwise I see no reason for not turning on, let me know

[@EdwinS.503]

When cleaning off the old thermal paste, did you soak the cotton swab with anything like alcohol or something?

[@YesterdaysTech]

Yes, rubbing alcohol

[@ntia7047]

very nice!

[@tontehh2991]

When you cleaned that paste did you put new paste on circuit board or just clean it and putting all back?

[@YesterdaysTech]

I’ve put the new thermal paste on the CPU, you can skip this step by putting everything back without thermal paste but you lose about 5 degrees Celsius on temperature. I recommend to use thermal paste before reassembling

[@tontehh2991]

@@YesterdaysTech ty this is helpful

[@Wulfgard-si6wu]

Great video. I have a question though, how much thermal paste do I use ?

[@YesterdaysTech]

Just enough to cover the CPU, let’s say a drop the size of a rice

[@TheRybiata]

holy £hit. This actually worked! Thanks Man Ive been enduring through my ps4 jet engine for 2 years and now free from the terrible nise. I used genesis 850 paste. worked like a charm

[@enriquemontero9961]

My ps4 shuts off immediately after turning on after doing this. Someone help?

[@YesterdaysTech]

Turn it on without the top cover and check if the cooler fan starts spinning. You probably didn’t reassemble it correctly

[@omarsu5430]

Maybe something in it is shorting or a power supply cable not being connected

[@omarsu5430]

Did u fix it?

Snapped my power cable during opening.
