its loud even without any dust.
ID: gq3pvknID: gq7qczbYup, I thoroughly cleaned mine. Removed a mountain of dust from the fan and the heatsink and refreshed the thermal paste. Still a jet engine.
-
Dust does not get this yellow/nasty/disgusting unless you smoke inside.
Problem is hardly the dust/dirt, it's that you should not smoke inside (or at least not near your expensive electronics).
ID: gq383ciThis. I've been restoring old consoles and it's immediately obvious which ones come from smoker households. The trouble is completely removing the smell.

I cleaned out my pro, replaced the thermal paste & applied new thermal pads. First week or two it was quiet as a whisper, even under load, 4 weeks later and it’s just as noisy as it was. PS4’s cooling is just shit & poorly designed.
ID: gq3dhn6I cleaned it and changed the thermal paste three days ago. It‘s as loud as it was before now and idk what to do about it. I have to open it again some time since I‘m left with a screw I can‘t figure out where I missed to put it back. I wonder if it would run less noisy if you would leave it open on top and don‘t put the shell on it again.
ID: gq3g716How do you replace thermal paste?
ID: gq32k8oSame thing happened to me
ID: gq35av7samee
ID: gq6otjkJust wear headphones and you wont even hear it
ID: gq3jx5jGlad I'm not the only one. I've replaced the paste twice now, thinking I must have botched it the first time.
I just ended up shutting off Boost Mode. Didn't make a huge difference though. Still gets loud whenever I'm just accessing the home menu with YouTube suspended in the background :/
ID: gq3nsx9What brand did you use? If you used some Arctic stuff that people always recommend, thats why. Get some IC Diamond and it won't happen again. Mine has last 6 months now with no issues.
ID: gq350nqOr you have a lot of dust in your apartment
-
Please tell me how you did this. I really need to clean the fans in my ps4.
It is a ps4 slim, by the way
ID: gq22zaoI imagine you could look this up on YouTube
-
Is this a kitchen extractor fan? 🙂

I have a red dead PS4 pro, opened it up last week because it was so loud. Found the thermal paste had pretty much dried up. Cleaned it up, re pasted it and it's whisper quiet again, odd thing was that the fan and heatsink were not dusty at all
ID: gq3bh01Same with mine. Have the OG PS4 from 2014 and cleaned it bc of the loud noise. Fan and heatsink weren't as bad as I thought for the noise. Now it's quiet but let's see how long after reading other stories.
-
Turned it on to make sure it worked and just booting up it was noticeably quieter!
ID: gq3stk8Stop smoking please
ID: gq4bjevIf you want it whisper quiet, then clean the heat sink. If this is what the fan looks like then the heat sink must be bad
-
Mine looks like the 2nd picture, hell I even bought a new one. Still sounds like a boeing 747 about to take off.
p.s also applied new thermal paste, still sounds like take off lol
-
looks like u smoke mate
-
Well it was straight out of the box for me. The OG one sounded like a hairdryer building up to a jet engine...
But good on you cleaning it out
-
I had to clean the fan of my dads ps4, it literally sounded like a bomb
-
looks like a bunch of joints w invisible paper
-
I await the day my friend lets me clean his base PS4.
-
My sister gave me her ex bfs ps4 after my Xbox blew up In a snow storm power surge and it was 100 times worse had rust in it as well still works though
-
I took a toothbrush to the fan and mine was still loud but not loud to the point you can't hear the game
-
I opened my PS4 after 5 years and it looked nearly new. I don’t know how people do this?!
ID: gq3y19zTurns out, different people live different lives!
-
Lol mine was worse than this after 6 years. I don’t smoke but I light candles sometimes. Who would have thought?
-
"The PS4 is still so loud"
Was my experience at least, hope it helped yours though!
-
Ya'll got so many nasty PS4's that I went and almost ruined my fingers opening that shitty PS4 Pro only to find it sparkly clean while being over 4 years old, cba fixing the thermal paste.
-
For me it was the heatsink that was on the very bottom of the pro
-
You need to be sure to clean the later of dust from the Heatsink and apply new Thermal Compound to the heat Sink and CPU. Overheating is cause by a dirt/dust buildup and worn Thermal Compound.

check this out 🙂

This is why I bought headphones

Last of us Part 2. No matter how clean it is, it will almost fly.

Is it safe to clean it? I wan to but I’m scared I can do it but I’m scared and the PS4 is as loud as a jet
ID: gq3dp7sIn my opinion it‘s easier to open and clean than the PS3. Of course there is a risk of killing it if you forget to put something back where it belongs. But after all it‘s doable. The only thing that almost killed me was getting stuck screws out of it.

ID: gq3qe2oIt's super easy. I've done it a couple times. Just follow a youtube guide and make sure you put your screws in a safe place so you don't lose them. It should really only take 15 or 20 minutes.
You will need a T9 torx security screwdriver or bit. Security are the ones with the hole in the middle, that's important.

2 bad op didn't discover where heatsink is
-
Nah, I’d rather just complain endlessly without doing anything about it THANK YOU VERY MUCH
-
This wont help so much , you need too open her up too acess the heat sink and clean it there , and change thermal paste.
