How to Strip and Clean Your PS4 | Including Thermal Paste

So many people are having problems with loud PS4 fans during game play. So here is my updated guide on how to properly strip down and clean your PS4 Including thermal paste replacement!
This is a full run through right down to bare chassis. It is the easiest and cheapest way of fixing the loud fans due to dust! It removes every part of the console and replaces the crappy old thermal paste that Sony uses.
Please only attempt this full guide if you have the relevant tooling and supplies and your confident in completing the task. It is not that difficult if you take your time!
Here are a list of parts, tools etc you may need to complete this clean out!

I have a few tips for the beginners too scared to try this: 1. An easy way to keep track of the screws: Use paper pages, write down the component part; "Heatsink" for example and just place the screws over it, do the same for every component and align the pages in cronological order as you disassembly the parts, so it will be way easier to put everything back. 2. Remove the power supply connector from the board instead from the power supply itself, so the cable won't get in the way later, also try as much as possible to grab the connectors from the plastic part instead of pulling the cables. 3. Just be extra careful when disconnecting the power supply connector, blu ray flex connector (the clip is supossed to be pushed down, not lifted up) and the fan connector. 4. Try to use a compressed air can, they are pretty cheap and will remove any leftover of dust, especially the fan and heatsink parts. 5. I used regular 95º Alcohol to clean the CPU/GPU (APU) and Cooler Master Nano thermal paste. 6. Relax and take your time, pause and rewatch the video as many times as you need, there's no need to rush. Good Luck

My guy's video I was watching was awesome, BUT, I thought i'd check another vid just before i seal back up to make sure i'd covered everything. Sure enough the other guy didn't check the fan vent, when I took mine off, literally 70% of my grill was covered in dust and half of it was covered in half a cm worth of dust. So glad I came and watched your vid, back in business with a launch PS4 that Warzone, RDR2 and FFVIIR tortured

Just did the same process and used this video as a reference and after plugging it in, I got the red line of death. After a bit of panic, I realised that I forgot to plug the fan back in. After fixing that, and after 30 minutes of quick gameplay on GTA V, it is so much quieter! So glad I decided to do this!

Took 20 mins and some force but the wires were strong enough to take it. I couldn’t believe the amount of dust trapped in the heat sink and the thermal paste was non existent, mostly on the sides. Very pleased it’s worked so well. My PS4 sounds as it did 6 years ago.

I tried the half tear down and the problem persisted, less than 30 mins later I had cleaned a block of solid dust from the heat sink and changed the thermal paste. Its running absolutely silent at idle and the in game noise is just the fan running at varying speeds. There are loads of ppl with this problem and they thing its unfixable.

Thanks for the guide it saved me a fair bit of time working out how to disassemble it. I found lifting out the PSU being careful of the attached cable made the PSU plug much easier to remove. Personally I found the root cause was the thermal paste was going off on my original 2013 PS4 and replacing it with some Noctua paste really helped the thermals and reduced the fan RPM under load.

Thank you very much for the video -- the most comprehensive I found --- without it it would have been extremely difficult task and the best way to remove the fan and heatsink to be able to clear out. all the crud and add fresh heatsink compound to he CPU Chip. Yes the 4 black wire connector into PSU was very tight-in and hard to remove -- one of black wires broke off so had to remove the old bit of broken black wire from the 2 knife connectors then carefully press the black wire deep into the knife connectors. Job done --fan now no longer racing at loud high speed and just running nice, slow and quiet. A must to keep screws separated per stage and with a rough sketch for each stage.

connect the charger to the ps4 and then charge it temporarily to connect it manually and maybe the wireless will connect? I have never had this issue

[@justinontiveros9338]

Thanks took me three hours because had the power supply wire stuck under the frame making me dissasemble everything and putting everything back together butt after tried it on loaded ark and it turned from a jet engine to a silent fan I used 8 dallor Corsair thermal paste from Best buy

[@ArthurKowales]

[@justinontiveros9338]

[@TheGamingVsMe]

Thanks man!!! I was first scared to do this, but then i decided to do it! Your video was very helpful

[@SinisterCloud]

Awesome glad I could help!

[@aaronkemp2195]

You just help me get a free PS4! Guy said it was broken and I could have it. Followed you great step by step instructions. It now runs with no issues, thank you very much.

So I have the cuh 115a ps4, when I got down to the fan, it didnt have any sticky pads on it and the metal clip was instead below the fan itself. Is that ok? Or should I put some pads on and locate the clip on top of the fan?

[@anthonybowen2168]

Same thing I thought I lost them for a second

[@aspirant9303]

@@anthonybowen2168 so what you did?....

[@tommyj199121]

Does this fix overheating issues or would it have to replace the fan

[@SinisterCloud]

Yes it can do if this is the problem. Sometimes the fan can be at fault but the is the most in-expensive way to test it.

I was having trouble trying to update the ps4 so I decided it was time to do a very through deep clean. This video helped tremendously. I finally was able to update the current system software update. 🙌

[@backdoorbutcher]

Great video, easy to follow & PS4 now works & sounds like new.

[@robert11872]

If u think about it a PS4 is a pc the opportunity system is just different from a technology perspective

[@benyboii1120]

When ever i play fortnite in my room my ps4 sounds like i'm at the airport

[@TaxEvasionUS]

Then don't play fortnite then

[@lilsavagegod]

Its bc its heating up

[@coldbloodedvamp]

dnt mean its overheating

[@lilsavagegod]

@@coldbloodedvamp i didnt say over heating i said heating with causes the fan to spin faster and make it louder

[@coldbloodedvamp]

@@lilsavagegod I kno I was jus sayin in general didn't mean u needed to explain wat u met bro im sure we all kne wat u met

[@eternalwarrior5318]

Followed every step and it works. My PS4 was like a vacuum cleaner even while on KZbin! Cleaned out all the dust and used TG-7 paste, night and day difference thank you sir 👍

[@SinisterCloud]

Best tutorial how to clean or change any part in your PS4, very well made and easy to follow. Did this today and it helped a lot to change my fan on a CUH1100A. Only thing to add if you got a CUH1100A there will be a little black screw that holds the motherboard and the metals together, you will be able to see it once you removed the cable to the power supply and easy to spot. Thank you so much for a wonderful and very good tutorial. Happy New Year 2021 :D
