How to clean a PS4 the easy way and in depth

In this video I show you how to clean a PS4 PRO the easy way, by accessing the fan, and the more in depth way by accessing the fins that the fan blows into to cool the system. Note there are differences in different countries screw layout, this is for a US version.

Great vid. Just a heads up for anyone in EU doing this - the topmost screw on the PSU wasn't actually a screw on mine as it is in the video. It looks like a black plastic hex screw but it can be ignored and lifted as in the video without addressing it. Mentioning this as I thought I had stripped the plastic head and was unable to continue.

Sir, this is the best video on this topic on youtube. A simple 30 minute job, no messing with thermal paste and my ps4 pro is a lot quieter!

Dude! Thank you so much for showing us how to get to the damn heatsink without messing around with the friggin motherboard lol. Everybody else wants to show you the thermal paste and such, i just want to clean the heatsink lol. Your awesome Man

[mrtusk]

Best video on here hands-down. Straight to the point and super easy

This really helped a lot, man. Thank you! Had my console since 2016, and it sounded like an aircraft was taking off when I played most games! Watching your video and following your steps produced great results! Cheers..!

Thank you so much! I can't wait to do this with my PS4 pro. You are a fantastic teacher and can explain the steps in such a detailed manner. I don't know why it's so hard for others to teach like you do but I'm a person that likes to know what/ why I'm doing something. I also need to know every detail broken down because it throws me off when a step is sped through or it's not covered as extensively. I will update once I clean my system!

Can't belive how simple this was the whole time thank you 🙏

My ps4 was really loud when playing. After watching and following this video my ps4 is now whisper quiet. Thanks!!!

It is so quiet around here now since I did this cleanup for my 2, 5 year old PS4 Pro. It cost me 1, 90€ to buy the correct tool, only problem for me was the lack of brute force since my PS4 Pro had never been opened. But it was definitely worth the effort, bye bye "jet engine"! And thank you for making this video!

[chriswarrington]

Thanks for the video it helped out a lot. One thing I did along with blowing the fan and fins out, I dipped q-tips in isopropyl alcohol and cleaned the fan and cooling spaces to get things extra clean.

[Mannytaknover]

[CGHIT]

It made a big difference by watching this video and I did it and now my PS is super quiet so freaking

First cleaning of the PS4 Pro since buying it in 2017. Thank you for this easy video. I would have removed too many screws or pulled too hard on that power supply connector.

Best ps4 cleaning video iv seen hands down

[rosshardy]

Thanks man that was the most concise and informative video I've seen on this subject. Had a little pry taking the lid off and cleaned out everything I could see, still sounds loud as hell so I'm waiting for the new screwdriver set to come and I'll get the heat sink cleaned out. Wicked, thanks!

When i looked up on how to clean the Heatsink, i saw many videos about completely disassembling the console, i'm happy that this is another way to get to it. I have cleaned the fan (which had a light layer of dust) the Heatsink (was full of it, i blew in it with air and everything came out through the fan) and the Power Supply (was completely in dust too. Thank you for this video! I kind of wished there was a way to remove the cable of the power supply, and to open itself to do more specific cleaning.
