This guide will show you how to replace the thermal paste inside a PS4. Now you might wonder just what thermal paste is. Thermal paste is a silver liquid you apply to a processor to transfer heat to a cooling solution. You want to replace the thermal paste of any electronic every couple of years or so since the thermal paste will dry out. The thermal paste board is right under the heat sink, and the heat sink is where all the dust builds up. If you clean the heat sink and replace the thermal paste, your PS4 will be working as if it was brand new. My PS4 is about six years old, and after doing this whole procedure, it never overheats anymore and is as quiet as a mouse. The only skills required for this task is you have to be able to screw and unscrew screws. It is a very easy, but it is a tedious process, so pick a day that you are free if you are going to do this.

  1. Grip the PS4 with both hands along the gap in the top cover. Push the glossy side of the top cover with your thumbs until it pops to the side. Lift the glossy top cover up and back to remove it from the PS4.

Se me hizo muy buena la guia, sobre todo para no cometer algun error al trabajar en la reparacion, mi PS4 dejo de zumbar el abanico con el cambio de pasta termica y una limpieza general de polvo y pelusa.

Luis Garcia - Yanıt

I followed this guide step by step, including reversing the order to reassemble my unit.

My PS4 is still loud but not as loud as before, so everything worked well. Thanks for the writeup!

i might be a little late to reply, but i followed this guide aswell BUT after step 31 i took off the extra metal/aluminum plating and saw thats that where the bulk of the dust will be built up, this plate has the vents that go to the cooling fan on the opposite side of it after unscrewing. i bought an original ps4, it sounded like a jet engine taking off. The vents on my ps4 were just about covered in dust almost no airflow was able to get through, after taking the extra step and taking off the 1 extra panel (the one under the motherboard in step 31) and of course after replacing the thermal paste made my ps4 run and sound like new again,

I cannot reply to Beau's comment.

I also went the extra step of taking that metal shroud that sits below the motherboard (step 31).

I completely recommend this step. It is then you can get access to the heat sink fins to remove dust. There are 3 screws that hold this metal shroud in place. Easy to get out.

Then you can also now remove the fan - 2 screws for this.

You can then clean out the accumulated dust from the fan and in the plastic shroud, that the fan sits in.

Holy cow, dust factory. :)
