The comments here are not exaggerated, my PS4 went from leaf blower to virtually SILENT. I expected some improvement but never this much. Amazing tutorial and really simple to do! I would suggest Arctic Silver 5 paste BTW, amazing stuff.

[@TheG60528XiJinPing]

just used arctic silver 5, had to open it up and make sure fan was plugged in

[@OlSkunGun]

Arctic MX-4 might be better because of it properites. It doesn't react with electricity or something like that. I dunno if Silver 5 is good for tight spaces like laptops or consoles. I was using Silver 5 for my PC.

@@OlSkunGun it’s all the same I believe. With silver you need to be doubly careful that it doesn’t leak out the sides when you put the cooler on (that could cause a short). Basically just don’t use too much and it’s fine 👍

Great breakdown! My ps4 is running silent now!! Thank you! One thing different on mine was around the 3:45 mark when the power source was removed, there was a black screw holding the motherboard to the heat sink plate. You will need to remove it to separate the panel from the mother board. It was to the left by the cables you unplug before flipping over. I hope this helps someone.

Late reply, but I sincerely want to thank you for this excellent guide. I just performed this myself today and your video was excellent and straightforward. The only obstacle I had was that I was unable to disconnect the power supply from the board, but I was able to support it vertically without stress on the wires and do it that way. It runs fantastic, and even the Wi-Fi connection seems more secure. Thank you so very much!!!

took me three hours, but my ps4 is as quiet as ever now. really great guide, no hiccups. although i had a small black screw that held the motherboard to the frame, but its easy to find and take out. thank you.

[@Reptif97]

Awesome video! All I needed was a little tool kit, a can of air and new thermal paste. Followed this tutorial and now my PS4 is dead silent. Bought it in 2014 and it is still going strong. Even better after this little tune up.

THANK YOU! I just revived my Launch Day PS4 and it’s performing like it did out of the box. 9 years of dust, dried out thermal paste, and poorly placed thermal pads were choking it.

After what seemed like forever, this solved my girlfriends 747 airplane...sorry, PS4 from being incredibly loud. Not only was the fan dirty but the lack of thermal grease needed much attention. I no longer have to worry about my ears bleeding at the end of her multi hour gaming sesh's which also seemed like time stayed still until the PS4 turned off. Thanks dude.

What thermal paste did you use and how was it?

[@Orain88]

@@igfury4119 some noctua paste I had left over from a pc build. And thermal grizzly minus pad 8 for the pad replacement. It works great. It's been whisper quiet on the vast majority of games for months now. I can feel the heat from the vents is very hot with very minimal effort from the fans. It was super worthwhile, I should have done it years ago when it had started sounding like a jet engine.

[@aliemreozkan]

I have my PS4 since 2015. After the first year it became very noisy. Thanks to your tutorial I fixed it. Now it is: - hard to hear on apps like Disney+ - slightly audible in games. (It was horrible before fix) Thank you very much!

[@Cairne92]

Thank you very much ❤ I had to comment. This is my second time opening my PS4 fat with your tutorial. This time I applied new thermal paste (Artic MX4) and replace all the pads (also Artic) and now my console now is so silent I had to double check if it was really on instead of the usual take off airplaine noises 😅

[@urakov889]

Amazing guide. Now my ps4 runs idle when playing gta 5, bf4, assetto corsa and assetto corsa competizione. I used gd900 which is only like $1 for 3g which is a really good deal and it works as good as any other thermal paste for $10.

[@AAD897]

Oh wow the disassembling process looks terrifying, I hardly got the courage a while back to remove the lower part just to dust off the fan. It wasn’t that dusty tbh but even after I cleaned it nothing has changed. Everyone was basically suggesting that I might need to consider changing the thermal paste, I’ll need to give this a try!

[@tomlee80]

This has worked a dream. I got my PS4 on launch day and have just followed the guide step by step. Be warned about the power socket jumper cable though. Take your time using tweezers. I used a particularly sharp set o tweezers and ended up breaking one of the wires when I slipped so had to I order a new jumper cable off ebay for under £5 to replace it. My PS4 works as good as it did in 2013 now :)

[@Z3CHYD]

This video along with the reassembly video were perfect! Easy to follow, I'd just pause the video during each step to stay caught up. I had so much dust in the cooling fins and my thermal paste was quite dried out! Now it doesn't sound like an airplane taking off when it's on lol

[@kerimbaba99]

another good guide for paste and cleaning. i wanted to be sure about the paste location and all so this was helpful as well. but i wouldn't recommend cleaning the fan by hand as they usually are like so damn fragile (fans in general) to mingle with fingers and you may get a buzzing fan sound in not so distant future. you dont want another problem when you eagerly trying to get rid of the heat issue. although this buzzing is not %100 i admit but why take the risk? Just use an air compressor to blow the dust on it but at the same time DO NOT FORGET to hold the fan not to turn like a chopper's propeller. cheers ✌

I truly don't understand how the cables seem to come off so easily in these videos. Can there be at least one video that shows the real struggle of this shit? I've been trying to take out the blu ray cable for 15 minutes now and it won't budge! How is this not a problem for any of you?

[@Potatoi935]

The blue ray cable was ez but the power supply was hard. Its easy to unplug the cables in tgese vids because they've unplugged them before / multiple times to get the best footage.

[@forester88]

Its fucking crazy how effective this is. I thought it would just quiet it down a little bit, but now the loudest thing about the console is the bluray drive. Trying to play RDR2 on headphones used to be hell. The fans were actually waking up my sleeping baby, 2 rooms over. The (closed) headphones were barely helping. Playing with TV speakers was pretty much impossible. Now i can throw dynamite in the middle of blackwater and its like the PS4 is not even there. Hilariously low cost way of giving your console a second life.

[@Envy13376]

Thanks for the breakdown of this video. The other versions seemed to be a different ps4 model. My fans don’t automatically come on like an airplane engine when I turn it on.

Great Video, really helpful. My PS4 went from jet engine to, you know, something that you expect from a console! Not as quiet as my pc (duh) but now I finally don't need to wear ANC headphones to play! Just a quick note: I noticed there was a screw next to the Power supply connector holding together the Motherboard and the metal cover. Needed to remove that. I seem to have a slightly different version of PS4, you did not have that screw. Just a heads up for other people!

[@consolecrazy2697]

If you see this comment, never use the spread method with your thermal paste. Add a Pea sized dot in the center of the CPU. it will spread perfectly when you put the heat sink on. You will get better thermal results doing this.

[@oscarok1233]

Mr.Vintage oh, I spread mines, but is it a problem? Like will it sound loader

[@oscarok1233]

Louder*

[@consolecrazy2697]

It won't hurt your ps4. It will just run a bit hotter. Your ps4 will still work better than before. it's not worth taking apart again. Furthermore, a ps4 prossesor is smaller than a computer. You may need a little less than a Pea. I'm just saying that this is the best method. Spreading results in small air pockets on the heat sink. The method I use results in better heat distribution. Sorry for my long reply. Your ps4 will still be quiet.

Very awesome video, very useful. But I got a few tips to anyone trying to replace their thermal paste. 1.(kinda goes without saying) Don't waste your time doing this if you're gonna use some cheap sketchy thermal paste, just buy one of a good quality. 2. The hardest part I found about doing this was removing the cables. Just take your time, don't rush it even if it takes 15 min. You don't wanna damage any parts. -Most of the steps are clear. Good luck

[@m.e.h.8304]

@@ken-yo2hz yeah I was afraid of ripping the cables, especially the power supply unit one. It was really hard to disconnect cuz it was a bit difficult to get a good grip on it. But I'd say I was more terrified the thermal paste I bought wasn't good and that it was gonna break my ps4 that's why I recommended buying a good one. As for the screwdrivers u asked about I believe it was the T8 Torx screwdriver. Anyways u only need the torx and the little philips screwdriver for the whole disassembly

[@m.e.h.8304]

[@ken-yo2hz]

P.E. T. 1.) I tried to open the PSU but my Philips head #0 literally didn’t work at all on the two big/long screws. What philips screwdriver did you use? 2.) Did you use pliers or your fingers to lift the cables? I don’t have pliers at all 3.) Should I replace the thermal paste? I was only planning to clean the heatsink. Keep in mind I haven’t replaced it at all since I got my PS4 4 years ago

[@m.e.h.8304]

@@ken-yo2hz 1) I just used what I had available. If it's too tough u can try using a small flat screwdriver or even the tip of a knife but be careful not to injure yourself 2) I used my fingers but it took quite some time to get a good grip. U can try wiggling a bit while pulling it 3)You should probably change the thermal paste if it has been that long. If your ps4 is overheating like mine did then cleaning won't help all that much.

[@ElSoloNoco]

Thank you for this, I've been putting off doing this for so long, out of fear that I'd break the console, but I finally worked up the courage to do it. Used Arctic MX-4 & Arctic 1mm thermal pads to replace old pads. For years I've pretty much exclusively played games on PS4 with headphones due to how loud the fan was, after doing this, you can no longer even tell the console is on most of the time, & when I play a game that does kick it into full gear it's the most pathetic quiet sounding fan ever 😂 literally 100 times better. I will say, my PS4 had an extra screw next to the power supply connector that was holding the motherboard & metal housing to the PS4 outer shell, so if you've removed all screws and a piece isn't coming out easily, check for that because yours may be a slightly different model to the one used in the video like mine was 👍

[@TheGamingKamikaze]

I ain't gonna lie I almost had a destructive breakdown because of the power supply cable and last two T8 screws that wouldn't come off. I used a flat screw driver and it worked. This video was a blessing though, Re-applied thermal paste and it turns on. Downloading MW Cod to test.
