Or.... the part is on Sony and Microsofts side all these years & all these cleaning tip videos are just BS shilling for a much larger problem. Some consoles do need to be cleaned, they do get dirty, but let's address the REAL issue. SONY & Microsoft making a profit and product with cheap parts, (xbox 360 & ps3 both had an overheating issue and resulted in lawsuits, companies where then forced to actually do the right thing and replace the console without charging, but did so kicking & screaming & long after charging customers to fix them at an outrageous price for something they themselves should've covered to begin with.) The PS4 overheats & has its its own issues. From freezes, to blue screens, complete lock ups, not even able to reboot in safe mode, the internet is filled with customers tales of unhappiness. Whether the PS4 is clean or dirty though clean obviously helps, new, or old, refurbished, Base, Slim, Pro plain and simple it runs like a toaster oven. It has Poor parts placement & the lack of air circulation makes things worse. Poor optimization of the PS operating system and the PS store itself. The base model in particular where the power supply is. I would love to shake the hand of the person who thought the internal temperature of the original base ps4 at launch had to run like a toaster oven sitting at the dashboard. Not running games. Or apps, or movies. Or the store. Freezing, pausing, lagging, overheating, forcing to restart. The error codes, my god the error codes, the support page that tells you what the error code meant and what to do about it really isn't helpful, other than reboot in safe mode and rebuild your database. Customer support isn't very knowledgeable either. Absolute Sonys way of keeping the customer busy with fixes and work arounds they know won't work, while not working on anything that will fix the problem except to tell customers that already bought the console to buy another one in the form of the slim and pro or send back to them for an outrageous price, that still overheats even brand new. The games, while fun, especially first party, or hell even third party games run really hot and can't run well on the ps4, so they themselves are either poorly optimized or can't play nice with the limitations of the ps4 slim even the pro, not to mention the base model. The fan is a cheap joke & and having to buy a better one off line and install yourself after spending the money on the console is also bullshit. It's not a PC. & when charging close to what a gaming PC cost should run a hell of a lot better people, wake up demand more for your money. I've had the PSX, PS2, & PS3, loved em all and while they did have problems, especially the ps3, the network was and still is buggy as hell. PS5 is getting ready to come out, Sony makes millions of dollars and still can't get their Network right. This is coming from some one who is a lifetime sony fan, just tired of it. When consoles are charging close to a gaming pc now days, games getting more expensive, season passes, DLC, microtransactions, other BS, customers deserve more for their money, than companies just saying give us your money & we'll make a patch or a fix maybe later down the line, or we won't, we'll spend more money scrubbing the internet, reddit's and YouTube deleting negative but completely truthful post, real issues customers are having, and give other people money to promote sony, Microsoft, EA, Ubisoft, etc, pick your favorite in a positive untruthful light.

5 seconds of warzone and this happens smh

Run a dust cloth (like a dry Swiffer brand one) around the vents once a week.

Point a portable fan towards it while using it. This one will help to stop (or slow) the heating of the plastic that causes those crackling/popping noises - which is the plastic expanding and contracting.

In Short I have to renovate my house to follow these tips😂

[jawaunehayes]

I completely got rid of the jet engine noise by putting it in the window opening n letting it suck in the artic air it really works btw depending on where ur gaming setup is mines in the living room so only took a min to rewire from window back to tv reduced the noise by 70% n I was finally able to enjoy the last of us part 2 properly hopes this helps anyone who goin wat I'm goin thru cuz the scalpers hoarding all the p5s 😭

Ps - it's the middle of winter where I'm all that's y its works so well

Mine used to overheat and just shut off. Now, when I'm done i shut it down and unplug it and its been fine over a year. I don't use stand by, it sits on a flat surface with enough breathing room and I use a damp lysol or even wet wipe to collect dust on the outsides of it. Had mine since 2015

[MonoXZY]

Ah alright thanks, my ps4’s been getting hotter than normal recently and turns out the problem was that it was in a tight drawer or whatever you’d call it so the hot air kept heating more hot air in the same space until my ps4 couldn’t handle it anymore.

[sbworks]

adding more fans to a playstation basically turns it from a boeing to an f16

[bluecupgaming]

Clean the fan, and heat sink

Then, when ur ps4 starts to get hot or loud, put an ice pack or two on top of it

[Tzero]

I just wanna finish red dead redemption 😭😭

[Devvoz]

This heatwave caused my ps4 to overheat for the first time in the 5 years that I've had it lol

[FVCKO]

Every time I play a game like Apex Legends it overheats and just dies

[PerfectPrimarch]

Reapplying the thermal paste will do wonders for it as well. The factory application is garbage and rarely lasts more than a year depending on your usage. I reapply my thermal paste every so often. Has kept my launch model and my pro working like new even all these years later.

Good stuff fam, hope you have a good one ❤️😊

[RonDCosta]

Use a table fan or a cooler
If u dont have make one at home, but it should be powerful
And then keep it close to your ps4
Problem solved
I hav been using this trick for 1 year and it's still worked

[Scrubby.]

It’s pretty simple deep clean and replace thermol paste, it’s pretty simple.

[maddox]

Thanks every time I tried to play my PlayStation would die

[TurkeySandwich]

SampiPlayz: Put it in a cool area

[riv]

I’ve done this I’ve got a fan at the back of it at the front a cold pack and a stand with windows open but this still happens

[luive]
